last week

mos def and talib were on jimmy fallon last week. jimmy fallon's house band is pretty good, I wonder who those guys are?

I've been posting about the black keys hip hop collaboration that they've been working on. just remembered it dropped black friday. here's the first single if you haven't heard it, plus the luda + odb track. this was all recorded in 11 days, beats made during the day, then they'd call whoever to come in to lay down verses. except odb, he recorded his verse awhile ago.

here's more if you're interested, there is a whole series online of the actual recording sessions. artists include: rza, mos def, jim jones, q tip, raekwon, pharaoe monch, billy danze, and more...

Backflashes
Graffiti Tales
Former graffiti writer and founding member of the Montana Writer Team, Ruedione retired the spraycan some years back, picking up a camera in its place. For Backflashes — Graffiti Tales, he’s captured covert graffiti missions in his signature black and white style from Hamburg, Frankfurt, Heidelberg, Manheim and Dortmund Germany; New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco in the USA; Amsterdam and Zwolle in the Netherlands; Naples and Salermo Italy; Sao Paulo, Brazil and Santiago de Chile.
These pictures portray not only the forms, letters and characters, but also of the moments, emotions and impressions that are integral to the act of writing graffiti. The raw inspiration, the adrenaline and the emotional weight of these artful, yet illegal acts are captured faithfully by a member of the cognoscenti.
A writer himself, Ruedione has been a constant companion to some of the best known graffiti artists for many years. His understanding of the lifestyle, the craft and the artistic and the illicit performance allows for a revealing vision that is clearly expressed throughout his work and which captures the act of graffiti as never before.
