Grateful Bear is going on tour!

July 2nd, 2009

Today is the first day of my tour and I have my bodyguard Grateful with me. He handled his first flight like a champ, and then we met up with our tour bus. Let the adventures begin!

I hope US Airways finds my luggage… Grateful might need to open a can of whup-ass.

You can purchase your very own Grateful Bear on the Kidrobot site. Limited quantities so hurry up!

Alchemist talks about DJing for Eminem

June 29th, 2009

I can relate when he talks about how DJing for Eminem is humbling — just when you think your career has reached a certain level, you do those huge concerts and it puts it all in perspective. I’m just glad Kanye used to let me do more than push a button!

Last friday the sky was purple

June 29th, 2009

Seriously I took these pictures in NY on Friday as the sun was setting. It was surreal, the sky was literally orange and then purple. The day after MJ died, man…. This was at the South Street Seaport where Kid Cudi did his show - and rocked it.

Interview with my friend Peanut Butter Wolf

June 26th, 2009

Great interview with PB Wolf talking about some key releases in the Stones Throw catalogue. Wolf has been a dear friend for over 10 years. He put out my first record, Enter Ralph Wiggum, a 45 in 1999.

Does anyone have his first album My Vinyl Weighs A Ton on mp3? If you could post a download link in the comments that would be much appreciated!!

Tumi makes lighter luggage for the carry-on generation

June 26th, 2009

More and more of us are carrying on our luggage now that all these airlines are starting to charge for checked bags. So you gotta commend Tumi for launching a new line called Tumi Light, promising bags that weigh 25 to 40 percent less than other similar models.

I live in constant fear that my carry-on bag will get weighed, so this is definitely a step in the right direction. More info over on the NY Times’ The Moment blog.
