Hitchhiking Through Dub ~ NEW MIX !

It’s midnight at a deserted spaceport in the galaxy of dub. Though it doesn’t really matter, you’ve been traveling for so long, night and day are not in your vocabulary anymore. As you finish a sorry alien excuse for coffee you quickly glance across the dirty glass and steel counter of the diner, searching for your next ride. The journey through dub is not over yet.

Whose ship will you be able to hitch a ride on next ? What species will the pilot be ? Will he, she or it fly fast or slow ? Take shortcuts through a dangerous meteor shower or just use nearby moons for gravitational slingshots to conserve the precious fuel ?
Either way, the mission is to continue exploring this unique galaxy, find and collect new sounds, discover new beats and ride the aural wave of fresh dub in all its forms.
This is the journey that is:

HITCHHIKING THROUGH DUB.

Calling out…

In general i’m not one to really create bad blood or try to judge anyone. I do like to talk shit but on a light hearted basis, keeping things funny and never with malicious intent. So in light of this admission, i’d like to point out something interesting. Touch Clothing promoted a party on September 24th 2005 together with a NY promoter who goes by Mastro. The party was called MANDATORY. Tonight, September 12th 2008, he is hosting an event with the exact same name. This does not really bother me, i just think it is funny that the same promoter recycles a party name like that. I guess it’s done all the time, there is some merit to that statement as well, it’s just funny.

Original Party Flyer (designed by yours truly):

 

Here is Mastro’s version:

And the party today:

Just this time it’s promoted with Methods NYC. 

Hmmm, speaking of which. I actually know the owner of that company pretty well, as well as people who work there, have worked there and help them out on the regular. All very nice people. Yet another interesting fact struck me this week. 

The new Methods Fall line is out and the Women’s Tees just so happen to have a T-Shirt called “Untouchable”. Now the design is completely different, it’s just curious that the shirt has the same name as a shirt we released 2.5 years ago with Touch Clothing. 

Touch T-Shirt “Untouchable”:

And the Methods T-Shirt (designed by the lovely Ladi Dotie):

Now it’s easy to call me a hater, and sure, if you’re inclined to do so, just do it. I don’t care. Because in the end, i’m actually doing them a favor by promoting their products and events. 

Once again, it’s just fun to point out the oddities in life sometimes :)

Why is it ?

….that a transformer blinks ? i’m just watching the movie Transformers (yeah yeah not the greatest piece of cinematic history) and there are scenes where Optimus Prime actually blinks. now why would a robot need to blink his eyes ? Probably not the dumbest thing in the movie but definitely one of them.

Oh and then bumblebee pisses on john turturro (Optimus calls it “lubricating”) for no reason.

I’m writing some of these things as i’m watching it so forgive the progression. So they walk into a “secret” base under the Hoover Dam where the leader of the bad robots (megatron) is located, frozen apparently. As they walk in there are sparks from welding falling all over the place yet then there is a claim made that they shipped this robot there in 1934 (the hoover dam was completed in 1935 so i guess they had the base there during construction). Now if you have a robot there, in a base that exists for over 70 years, what the fuck are you welding ? what pipes need fixing ? i know this is just for effect but come on. Also they say he’s been in cryostasis (however that is spelled) since 1935. so what did they do between 1934-1935, keep him in a tub full of ice cubes ? (according to wikipedia cryostasis is mere science fiction, so pardon me for the frivolity).
