FRESH BAKED MUSIC: the truth blitz

here are a few albums that i scored recently. both great efforts.

brother ali - the truth is here

lyrical assassin that is keeping it fresh in the old school.

the yeah yeah yeahs - it's blitz!

music to grade to.

OBTAINED: lucha libre tag team headwear

last year, i came across a hat that embodied so many things that i love.  the red, new era fitted that features a masked mexican wrestler could not scream BUY ME any louder.  

my brother bought it for me.

it even has the laces that real lucha libre wrestlers have on the backs of their masks.

recently, at the same store in the same SALE area, i found my red hat's blue counterpart~!!!  AND IT WAS CHEAPER~!!!  it was a dream come true.  i could finally complete the tag team~!!!  notice the gold teeth on the wrestler.  bonus points for bling.

and bonus points for the outline for the laces.

now the tag team is complete.

one thing that i noticed was that the mask that the wrestler on the hat is holding is rey mysterio's mask.  i wonder why.

wrestling, check.

lucha libre, check.

masks, check.

fitted new era, check.

tacky loud colors, check.

victory, check.

TRANSFORMED: new devastator

this guy is going to hit the shelves soon.

i wonder if i like it enough to buy it.

OBEY: the law

one of my favorite artists, shepard fairey of obey fame, second to tonyhong.net, was arrested recently on his way to give a lecture in boston.

i love his philosophy of phenomenology and his propaganda is an inspiration to a certain extent.

read about his arrest and let me know what you think about this reporter's opinion.

hit this link up for the full story.

and while you're in the clicky clicky mood, hit up www.cosmonautlife.com for some cool shirts.  new designs coming soon, junior.
