Jacking for links (a.k.a. nothing original to offer)

I hopped on this blog as a contributor months ago but like a Scott Layden Knick's draftpick I've yet to see any action. I've got my excuses, such as the fact I'm without file hosting or that I'm a pharmacide survivor suffering from a pervasive case of Candida overgrowth. There are also the legal troubles and the possible jail time on the horizon. The truth of the matter is though, I've been waiting to poli in the war room with my homepiss Spitrock in T Dot about if, where and how I should P.M.P, or if I should instead L.F.S.... anyone "undadig" these obscure Noreaga-lyric acronyms? Anyway, I got a few ideas but I don't know if this is the appropriate cyberplace for them, or if one exists at all for that matter. In the meantime I've decided to post some links I've come across in the past couple of days. They are indicative of my surfing habits as of late so take a venture through my ilife or e-existence or whatever you will.

• Thom Yorke - The Eraser mp3s (via M3 Online) Being both poor and unlucky I've failed to procure tickets to see Radiohead for any of the North American tour dates this month. In a way this serves me right because on hearing of this short tour of small venues I had contemplated buying up tickets for resale myself as a way to cover the price of my own ticket. I then proceeded to tell people around me about the tour playing up the speculation aspect. This was in fact a ploy to improve my chances of getting to a show but no one gave a fuck and it seems to have only hurt my karma. To make matters worse I was out of town doing the transient lifestyle thing (sans computer) when the tickets went on presale. It goes without saying that I was repeatedly dissed on ticketmaster.com with the general public tickets selling out in less than a minute for all the shows. Being the masochist I am, I've since been following prices obsessively on ebay and have keeping up with tour news here and there. As far as the Thom Yorke link, promos of the album were reported received at various press outlets so I knew a rip was imminent. The M3 Online post is the first link I found to music. It is kinda a spoiler in that they posted my two favorite tracks from the record. This academic-style blog has some interesting things to say about the lp and it's artwork as well. I'm still undecided as far as how much I like this album, it has some beautiful moments for sure though.
• Menthol 10s by ARI (via Kix and the City) Another thing I'm undecided on is the whole "street wear culture" phenomenon that is popping off crazy now. Before last month I haven't purchased a pair of sneakers since the summer of 1999. The idea of hunting down exclusive kicks like I had done in middle school seemed really weak when confronted with ideas like the Blackspot Sneaker. Regardless of all that, these Newpie inspired jump-offs are super fresh. In alot of ways they are sicker than most of the shoes being offered because they are knocks offs. Anyway, being that there is such a limited run they are sure to be fetching something ridiculous when they drop. Peep the interview, as it is a thought-provoking and intelligent read.
• Dangerdoom - Occult Hymn EP (via [adult swim]) Saw this link on the Stones Throws site yesterday. It is always dope to hear new Doom in my book, even if it's just him rerecording a verse, the superflowah rarely disappoints. The only bad thing I have to say is that the rift with the Monsta Island Czars is perpetuated on the El Chupa Nibre remix.
• Bloc Party - Full Coachella set download (via BLOG PARTY) This is older but I decided to to tack it on. 10 song set including two new songs with a bonus interview thrown in for good measure.

As some background me and spit go waaaay back, I've was known to get up with a maxell XLII, a Y-Cable and l3enc waaaaaaaaaay back when, my life is like a movie and my current anonymity is a mystery. Also, I loathe Dip Set and I live at home with my mom. I can be touched via myspace. love -p
