I’ve never been big on Marilyn Monroe, but this photo is excellent.

Our pal Stacie Grissom (she wrote our scarf camera strap tutorial!) just shared this incredible tidbit.

Walmart processes 120 film for $3! Apparently they send it out. We’re not sure if this is at all Walmarts, so give yours a call.

Picture of the Day: NYC. A man holds up a cardboard cut-out of Trayvon Martin amidst demonstrations calling for justice in his case. Behind him is a street art tribute to Gil Scott Heron and his most ubiquitous line.
Read: ”America Is Dying Slowly: Talking About Hip Hop After Trayvon” by Jack Hamiliton in GOOD.
And, the news of the day… George Zimmerman will finally, finally, finally be charged in the Trayvon case.

Recorded this last year or so, after being put in contact with (the great) Dego. Sadly, I was in too sorry a state to really do anything with the connection. This business (and the business of relationships) will do a doozy on a person. 

Listening back to this “finished” demo, I can’t help but to remember/hear the limitations I had with my recording setup. Explaining would only sound like excuses to most, so I rather not. More than the lack of compression and ability to fine tune a mix, I hear a general resignation that made sharing this tune too real, in the moment. 

Hopefully if/when I fire things back up again, I won’t accept the circumstances I did before. 

Enjoy (?) 

I’ve got some seriously talented muhfuggas as friends.
