If you’re in to rabbits and elephants check out these new pieces from Japanese artist Ryohei Hase done in photoshop if you can believe it. I can’t unless we’re talking wamcom tablet or some ish.

This other one was done by Hase for a group from Toronto Magnolius. Sounds like qwel with aesop rock kind of steez if you’re into that sort of thing.

Now here’s a fancy video done on a mac and many of it’s programs. Very creative i’ll say. Other Dennisa Liu works can be found HERE

This Friday at Creekside a whirl wind of awesomeness commences with SOME of my favorite emcees in Austin. Dubbsicks messaged me and warned that he was going to rage, so you’re fore warned. Random free style segments are bound to occur and don’t worry i’ll get into some Cumbia too.

This weekend is also Fun Fun Fun Fest incase you didn’t know. Peligrosa will be there, L.A.X will be there, Prince Klassen, King Louie and the Freakin Puerto Rican will be there too, not to mention all the other national and international acts such as Face to Face, D.R.I., Kid Sister, Buraka Som Sistema.

Here’s photos from the event from Quito.

Last night my boy King Louie and I opened up for MSTRKRFT at the Republic in Austin Texas. We dressed as Mario and Luigi.

Prior to the show I created a couple Serato friendly mp3s to use as drops and such. Enjoy them HERE!

I got them from this sound board i don’t know who made.

There will be more photos from the show…sit tight. and if you’re out and about tonight come get spooky with your peeps!

Now on to Google Waves.
If you have an hour, this video will explain everything and get you hyped.

It doesn’t answer every question but you can check out a bunch of ideas in the suggestion section HERE

If you don’t have time for that……
What is a wave?

A wave is equal parts conversation and document. People can communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.

A wave is shared. Any participant can reply anywhere in the message, edit the content and add participants at any point in the process. Then playback lets anyone rewind the wave to see who said what and when.

A wave is live. With live transmission as you type, participants on a wave can have faster conversations, see edits and interact with extensions in real-time.

It kind of looks like Seesmic Desktop. I’ll wait to get invited and keep you updated!

I recently took up yet another bad habit, guests of my house can be a testament to that. At around the hour when my roommates get home from work an annoying, yet calming, sound of grown men tinkering with tiny skateboards takes over. That’s the least funny part too. Trying to transfer from broken VCR to removed cd burner might top that. It’s only appropriate that I youtube tech deck too! Waalaa! Sure enough grown men across our great nation divulge in the art of tech decking as it were. My collection of tech decks is minute in comparison to most but come on, i’ve only been addicted for a little bit. I guess it’s time to step my game up.

Sure enough geeks show their “skills”…

These and many other badass photos from in and around Austin from El Subcomandante Quito!!

And if you’re in Austin come out to play tonight with King Louie and Orion @ Creekside Lounge.

I get notes all the time when i dj. Most of them are lame, a lot of them are silly and the others just confuse me. Like this one I got while djing with Prince Klassen at the MJ versus Prince party we did here in Austin Texas:


I wish i could remember what the girl looked like that handed me this. I mean what exactly is a ‘9 bar spit’. If she were referring to rhyming, isn’t it in multiples of 4? Maybe she means 32. Probably. Anyways keep em coming!

Here are a few of my most used/favorite iphone apps:
