Tuesday Z

Pre-store opening music: Ultra Weekend,Trojan Rude Boy Box Set,disc one nice collection of some gun tune reggae or something like that, maybe rocksteady style, I'll have hunt down, I mean consult someone about the proper description of that particular genre, also listening to Rapper Big Pooh Sleepers. Took me a while to get to that sleeper,definitely feeling the overall release. Checked out The Thyrday another crew from North Kac-a-lack,The Perfection Xperiment is the title of the CD and it had some quality stuff in there, was feeling a cut called "The Rutherford Affair"

Have you ever had a song just pop into ya head and you had to hear it? Well this tune is on the Nuyorican Soul cd I Am The Black Gold Of The Sun is the name of the tune. I know I have the cd at home,somewhere in one of the stacks of doom. But since I wanted to hear it now not later so I went here and streamed it from their jukebox. Gotta love the internet,yeah I know if I searched hardcore I probably could've downloaded it. The original tune was done by a group called Rotary Connection.

Much thanks to a good friend by the name of cannibal for mentioning me and also asking me about of this rapper

I didn't get a chance to mention it yesterday but today I have a bit of time. It was interesting to come in to store yesterday and see that the big red monster BMG listening station gone and replaced with a new installation of what I like to call performance art. A beat up tower pc and old ass monitor. it will join the other installations located around the store,like the shelving unit on its side in front of the counter,or the useless all in one hp printer/scanner/fax/copy obstacle sitting on the floor in front of the counter. At least he got rid of the old desk jet printers that were on the floor in front of the gospel counter. Here's a brilliant idea if you are going to store inkjet printers on their sides for a long period of time-remove the ink cartridges...sheesh. Well that doesn't matter because the floor has never been washed since the store has opened. The BMG listening station now joins the the not so new Liteboxes in the store supply annex TMRR otherwise known as the men's restroom.

Did the Tuesday poster ritual thing. I guess it was good that I hung up the Paul Wall poster because the WEA regional came through. Told me that the Paul Wall project has been pushed back to September. Oh well at least the poster will get folks asking about it. Hmm maybe I should hang up a few more, because I know Fearless Leader enjoys staying up to date on everything urban.....Yeah right.

Everytime I open up my web browser this page loads up. At the top of the page is comic strip by AARON MCGRUDER. It is being made into a cartoon that will be shown during Cartoon Networks Adult Swim programming block Click on this here Boondocks link for a sneak peak at some stuff.

"Ok Jim if you have any problem with the self install kit feel free to call this number here on the card"....Insert cd in cd rom player and follow instructions. Hmmmmm, um hey um this is a Macintosh computer. These are all pc commands..wtf
Wow I guess working at the store didn't complete destroy my desire for tech and upgrades because now I have a hi speed internet connection. All I need now is some wireless stuff and then I'll be able to grill & blog....hmmm maybe not.

comments? Questions?

Try Blackalicious to start, and we had Thunderstorm come through also, it was as bad as I was hoping it would be. Maybe I'll explain later.
