Megabus
Being a Chinatown bus Century 2000 regular, it gets pretty frustrating dealing with such ghettoness. Especially leaving from New York to Philly, when I do get the chance to go back home, I first arrive on Canal St and then get harassed by those aggressive Chinatown bus ladies with them screaming in my ear, “Where you go!?” The buses are also pretty unpredictable when they relocate their spots every three months or so. What’s worst is that there buses usually... Read More
Philadelphia Native, R.I.P. DJ AM
This 36-year-old Philadelphia native, DJ AM, is now gone. He’ll be terribly missed. After surviving the plane crash last year, it all seems like a final destination moment, perhaps it was his time to go. DJ AM was found dead at his $2 million SOHO apartment from a drug overdose. Cops found him lying face-up and shirtless. They also found a crack pipe and some prescription drugs in his residency. To read more about his death click here. I can’t even begin to describe...

Store Front: The Disappearing Face of New York
It’s kinda of disappointing after having had watched The Whackness and later realized that you missed out on all the fun of the 1994 NYC griminess. Most of us have lived in New York for many years, but we can’t stop feeling like psuedo New Yorkers. Unlike NYC, Philly has a soulful vibe to it. If you want to experience real art, come to Philly. We still have all of our assholes and than some, most importantly we’re real about our work, without the fancy high-end... Read More

Firstly, the Knitting Factory in New York, who will be shutting its Manhattan doors for good in the coming months, has curated the third in our series of “Annual 10 Year Anniversaries.” What began as a wisecrack of a title for a showcase finally holds weight (the first two were held in the earlier 2000s in the cities of San Francisco and Los Angeles). For one night on one stage, many of the original constituents of our label’s roster will assemble, performing... Read More

Heavy Roc Music
I’ve been hearing a lot of great things about this straight-out-of-NYC’s-Chinatown Heavy Roc Music, which was started by 21 years old, New School student, DJ B-Roc. I got a chance to listen to one of Heavy Roc Music’s latest track. Play the youtube below to listen to “Say Goodbye,” by Samuel and the Knocks. Comment me and let me know your thoughts are about the song. About Samuel: Born and raised in downtown Manhattan, Samuel was surrounded by musical... Read More
