Chuy X WAC Mens Basketball Preview

2009-10-16T18:10:00.002-05:00

As some of you might already know, I'm a college basketball freak! Today (Oct, 16th) marks the official start of practice for my beloved New Mexico State Aggies, and the rest of the college basketball world. Now since I'm living in Sooner/Big 12 country, a lot of you are probably going "New Mexico State? Who the hell cares about them? Have they ever even won a game?" Yes... Yes we have. Lots of them actually. New Mexico State, along with WAC rivals Nevada and Utah St., is rich in men's basketball tradition with 17 NCAA Tournament appearances including 5 Sweet Sixteens. We were a top 25 program in the 90's in wins and in 1970 (I know thats a long a time ago) we went to the final four only to lose to UCLA. No we don't get the national exposure that some of the BCS conferences get, but we have always been competitive and talented. And bigger schools have always been reluctant to make a trip to Las Cruces fearing mid major defeat. This season will be no different as the Aggies are loaded with talent heading into an exciting 2009/10 campaign.

Key Players:
Jahmar Young is the reigning scoring champ in the conference and 2011 NBA draft prospect. Here's some footage of him at the Carmelo Anthony tournament this past summer.

Jahmar in his neighborhood in Baltimore:

Wendell McKines. I'll let the footage speak for itself.

and

Jonathon Gibson, Troy Gillenwater, Hernst LaRoache, and Gordo Castillo are all dangerous players as well. Look for the NMSU Aggies to make noise this season, and don't be surprised if you see them knock off some teams in March.

My WAC pre-season picks:

9. Hawaii- Just bad.

8. San Jose St- Just not very good.

7. Boise St- Good coach, good point guard, great football team.

6. Fresno St- Like every other year, a talented bunch of underachievers.

5. La Tech- Could finish ahead of Nevada. Great coach and two great players (Gibson and Rolle). Not much after that.

4. Nevada- Some folks won't appreciate my thoughts on this one. But Nevada, who has been the overall best team in the WAC the last several years, will be down. Returning leading scorer Luke Babbit and over-rated all-conference point guard Armon Johnson will lead this team to a disappointing season.

3. Idaho- This team scares me. A branch from Stew Morrill's coaching tree, Don Verlin and the Vandals are the truth. Scrappy players that include one the nation's best point guards Mac Hopson. This team will still be riding on the confidence gained from last years turnaround.

2. Utah St-It's tough for me to pick Utah St. to finish 2nd. Stew Morrill would be successful anywhere. Discipline players that buy into a great system of success. One of the best fan bases in the country. Wouldn't be surprised to see them win another conference title.

1. New Mexico St
-I'm not picking the Aggies to win the conference based on personal bias. I didn't pick them to win the last two years. But this team has too much talent and confidence even with early season academic problems. I think this year, and next, will be huge for this team. Potential Cinderella in March.

POY-Jahmar Young
All WAC- Mac Hopson, Magnum Rolle, Paul George, Jared Quayle.
2nd team- Jonathon Gibson, Kyle Gibson, Troy Gillenwater, Tai Wesley, Rodrick Flemings

It's hard to leave out Armon Johnson, Wendell McKines, Sylvester Seay, Adrian Oliver and Tyler Newbold but somebody has to be left out. I see Jonathon Gibson having a monster senior year.

If anyone has any issues with my words here, please comment. It's all in fun. The WAC should be a great conference this year. I look forward to watching on ESPN Full Court.

My favorite band Lucero just released their new music video today--which I believe was a fan contest similar to the one Death Cab For Cutie did several years ago with their Plans album...Enjoy it, its a little graphic, but I think Jim Henson would be proud.

Sunday Artist Spotlight: Chuck Close

2009-08-16T23:30:00.003-05:00

(4 SELF PORTRAITS THROUGH THE YEARS)

Chuck Close is one of my favorite artists of all time. His realism is mind numbing and his pointilism is super awesome...He painted these self portraits over the last 20 years, I love the difference in style used over time.

Oh yeah did I mention that these paintings are MASSIVE? Most of his work covers walls, some of them needed scaffolding to reach the top while painting them...

And...another thing--he is quadrapalegic...since the late 80s he has painted everything with a paintbrush held by his teeth--Dude is unbelieveable. I wrote an essay about him when I was in 10th grade...I had no clue who he was at the time but my art instructor told me to check him out...Thanks Mr. Mays!

For more info on this incredible human check his website:

C L I C K H E R E

(it didnt seem like he had alot of art to look at on the site, I'd suggest google image search if you wanna see some more of his work--peep that Kate Moss portrait...Am I Right Guys?! ha see ya next time)

Sunday Artist Spotlight: Charles Burns

2009-08-09T12:54:00.002-05:00

I first learned of Charles Burns when I was in high school. His classic cult comic Black Hole, which made little to no sense plot wise, found its way to me...and I immediately fell in love with his style. The rich contrasts he creates are as jolting as the images themselves--often times depicting classic monster movie scenarios. Now residing in Philidelphia, Burns has created some of the most interesting (and disturbing) comic books ive ever seen in my life. Want more?

Justified Materialism with Saev: FLASHBACK

2009-08-06T21:54:00.004-05:00

My Momma and I were just talking about classic kicks from the 90s (yeah, seriously)...and she reminded me about my 5th grade year, I really wanted a new pair of shoes but I was doing really badly in school. They didnt have much money back then, but she made a deal that if I brought my grades (and attitude) up I could pick out a pair of shoes...now I dont know if it was the commercials (remember KJ dressed up like an old lady dunking in a living room?!) or the colorway or what...but i HAD to have these shoes.

1994 Kevin Johnson Black/Purple Con's REACT Pandemonium:

And when I finally got them--man was I proud. That was the last pair of shoes my parents ever bought me, that summer I got a job mowing lawns and went with the Shaq instapumps that fall for 6th grade. Hah, looking back I was pretty intense with my shoe purchases...thank god I found skateboarding in 7th grade.

In the winter of '06 I recorded a series of instrumentals while Chuy was back in New Mexico for the holidays. I had strep throat, my sister was almost killed in a car wreck, I barely left the house, and I was drinking very heavily. I remained sober for 7 days to record this previously unreleased (and pretty much forgotten) album. I wanted to release this after all this time because of a suprise that I can not tell you about yet...just know something is coming soon, and this had to be released first.

saevio.is.dead. - Dipsomaniac: the sober EP

Track Listing:
01 - Like Wind Against A Tin Roof
02 - His Descent Into The Greater Unknown
03 - The Greatest Song I Ever Wrote
04 - Adventures Of Captain Awesome and Strawberry Shortcake
05 - Dead Weight
06 - Hollywood Theus
07 - Fin

hope you enjoy it.

The Builders and Butchers

2009-07-31T18:06:00.003-05:00

Golden and Green

Steeped in the titular color imagery of the deep South, the Builders and Butchers stake out a new less-tread niche in the indie-rock arena. This time they took on an epic cinematic approach to their single, “Golden and Green,” utilizing bold narrative sequences and period costuming that bespeak of dust-covered wagons and bowlegged men borne from out of a saddle. They’ve even resurrected the Vivian Girls! All in good taste of course, and quite aligned to the strong Southern aesthetic of their latest offering, Salvation is Deep Dark Well. Check out their video; you’ll be impressed by their new interpretation of the Old West.

Jay-Z x Unplugged

2009-07-26T13:41:00.002-05:00

Continuing his REDUX video series which presents cover versions of classic hip-hop songs performed live and in one take, Lushlife again demonstrates a seamless melding of b-boy braggadocio and classically trained flourish, with a genuinely reverent reading of Jay-Z’s classic, “Dead Presidents”
It take balls to spit lines like "Bout to start bitchin' ain't you / Ready to start snitchin' ain't you / I forgive your weak ass hustlin' just ain't you" in a church (backed by nothing but a grand piano, no less) but there is something genuinely reverent about Lushlife's reading of Jay-Z's classic "Dead Presidents" in a Philadelphia sanctuary.

Holding On...

2009-07-17T21:54:00.003-05:00

i think this speaks for itself.

BUT

Every now and then you stumble across something very special. Sometimes that discovery is so special that you find yourself suddenly responsible for sharing it with everyone else. Today that moment was sparked by Mr. Jason Medeiros, more commonly known as Mr. J of The Procussions, with the music video from his new single “Hold On”

Im pretty sure anyone coming thru this page has heard this song...I think it was in some videogame... This was the first "hip-hop" cd that really caught my ear (outside of wu-tang and bizzy bone)...I was hanging out with some skaters in OKC when i was like 17, just getting into trouble and causing problems for myself...but then Steve popped this cd in when he drove us back to Lawton...I was arrested later that night. Weird day man...weird day.

What if.....

2009-07-09T18:01:00.003-05:00

A few years back, rumors started surfacing that one of Dilla’s infamous beat CDs had made its way into the hands of none other than Jay-Z. If the Jiggaman HAD used any of Dilla’s beats, what would they have sounded like? Well, here’s a chance to hear what might have been. Using some of Dilla’s best beats, and the vocals from the groundbreaking and critically acclaimed “Blueprint” album, DJ Jimmy Green has re-arranged the Blueprint into a glimpse of what might have been if these two musical legends had collaborated.

DOWNLOAD HERE : http://www.sendspace.com/file/pct1io

This is not intended to be a substitute for Dilla’s work, or The Blueprint album – there’s no profit involved and it won’t affect sales of either artist.

Mayer Hawthorne - Just Ain't Gonna Work Out

2009-07-06T22:37:00.004-05:00

It's like no one ever has the nuts or a good enough excuse to end a relationship these days. I think it's real weak if you're getting shit on by a guy/girl and wanna end it but you can't because you're sitting at an un-stellar (-2) on testicle attributes. It must be devastating.

8bit Cynics have officially sold out of their newest project, The Toothpick EP. So they have decided to make it available for free download. Much love to those who bought the actual CD. You basically funded the recent 8bit Cynics tour of the American Southwest. Those of you who bought the album also have the actual album artwork by S.I.D. and hard copy of the album which was well worth the 5 bucks.

For those of you who did not get a chance to pick it up, here it is!!!

So my birthday is comin up and i thought it would be generous of me to flip it on ya'll. Here's some new shit that im on right now.

Cassette City, the appropriately titled second album from Philadelphia-based sonic auteur Lushlife, has not only breathed new life into hip-hop, returning it to its former glories after a prolonged period of stasis and creative indulgence, but has also harnessed hip-hop’s original spirit of wanderlust and connected it to a futuristic vision of what it could, should and would be.
The full album is now streamin on myspace. so go peep it.

So I found a cd under the seat of my car today, popped that badboy in and was pleased to discover it was Aesop Rock's "Fast Cars, Danger, Fire, And Knives" EP...hadnt heard this in quite some time, my lord what a good album that was!

Remember this song? That beat is so sickening--im not sure if blockhead or aes did the production (my bet is on Aes, his futuristic style is unmistakable.)

It remindes me of "the good ol days" when we had bbq's at my trailer every sunday night and sat around drinking premium beer watching Adult Swim...Good times.

Enjoy.

Manasseh x RIP Michael Jackson

2009-06-28T13:23:00.002-05:00

Here's a dope MJ piece from the homie Michael Manasseh

My earliest and most vivid memory of Michael Jackson was in 1987 (I was 6 years old at the time) when my cousin Johnny Ray played "Bad" for me on his brand new CD player. I recall my mother saying "when he was only 9 years old, he was already the most talented person I had ever seen."
He was.

oh wait...the OMTA's just kinda disappeared...how come no one is talking about this? how much money were they paid to put on this awards ceremony HOW MANY months ago? I know there were issues with the venue and other things that caused it to be postponed, but i havent heard ANYTHING since then...is it even still happening? if not do the artists get a refund (in our case the beautiful honorary 8Bit Cynic dezz)...I dont wanna step on toes, but thats pretty much just stealing money? hopefully im just out of the loop and theyve got it under control...if so let me know.

Mini Update

2009-06-22T19:32:00.002-05:00

First off, sorry for lack of posts from the road...but things have been going great! Yesterday we played the Summer Solstice Festival in Durango Colorado for a group of hippies in a park in downtown Durango. As luck would have it, some other rappers were in the audience and we were invited to play a very sweet club later that night with our great friends Aftergrass (who have members from Dialouge)... Great times were had, we killed it and opened some eyes...this one super awesome girl bought me 5 beers. thank you whoever you are!!!!

Now we are up in the mountains at our comrad Eriks house, in his sick home studio...he will be recording some live drums for Flannel--Im super excited to collab with this guy--we went on tour with him 4 years ago, and he definitly doesnt suck at drumming!

Anyway, we got some more videos we've put together, we will upload them soon...we will be off to PHX tomorrow to rock out with the homie medafORACLE in Tempe...jaws will drop.

See ya soon!

We make you think...

2009-06-17T19:50:00.005-05:00

Just down

The smooth ivory planks thirst for oil from my finger tips

The dry printed page yearns for ink that never drips
The smiles and laughs spit forced from my lips
The dance is smothered in my chest and never gets to my hips

The failures and fears turn over and over like a dance of demons
Their laughter echoes the death of the dreams that I'll never be
The lies and secrets tucked in the folds of my brain
Illuminated like a star on an empty stage with a cigarette and a bad joke

Its the longing and dread so elegantly balanced
Stalemate leaving only empty silence in my head
The frustration of moving not forward nor backward
Just down

Nothing ever feels right for too long
Nothing good ever lasts
We are never done or finished or satisfied
And we are lucky if we even know what we are looking for.

When will I stop waiting for Fridays and smoke breaks and birthdays and new things?
I always want summer when its cold and winter when its hot
Ill want it until the only thing I feel is damp darkness from inside the earth.

Im not praying for a miracle, but I'll still hold my breath
If we all live in circles, why should I fight till the death?

Lets get this show on the road...

In exactly 12 hours we will depart on our 4th tour of the southwestern united states. Already things have not gone to plan, but as is life...Chuy and I will be posting video blogs from the road to keep you guys updated and hopefully make you a little jealous. haha

but seriously, every summer brings a different type of experience...every year we have hit the road with something new to offer, with a different mindset than the previous. so check the dates, if we play close to you--come hang out for a bit...if we dont, send me an email and we will try to make it out on one of our off days if you have a place we can play (venue, coffeehouse, house party, etc). See ya soon!

I dont post much anymore, I have been really busy with life stuff lately. To anyone who is angered by the holes in our justice system, to anyone that feels like laws protect criminals more than it protects the law abiding citizens...please, please watch this movie. I have never witnessed anything so horrifying. I was left breathless and in shock...I watched it last night and am still very upset by what I witnessed. I know that isnt a very good sell on a movie, but this NEEDS to be seen. people need to know what CAN and HAS happened so that maybe someday it can be fixed.
