Order Accutane With No Prescription

With respect to Mike D's smackdown on behalf of net neutrality, let's start it off today with "Root Down" from the Beastie Boys. Yesss...

I've honestly never been a big Stones fan. Dunno why. My love of 60s and 70s UK rock is more defined by groups like The Animals, The Kinks, and maybe Cream. And The Who. But, I've always loved "Paint It Black" by the Rolling Stones. Nothing new, though. Everyone knows the song and whatever, yada yada. But, it's what's on deck this morning, and kicks ass, so it's what gets posted. Enjoy...

Our friends at Ground Lift Media and their cohorts are at it again for the 2012 edition of the Dre Day party in Chicago. (Flyer and info here.) Not only will the party be a banger, but the crew has released another set of brilliant remixes to go along with it. "Deep Covers 2" features remixes of classic Dr. Dre tracks by DJ Trew, Maker, The OPUS, DJ Intel, and Raj Mahal. You can listen and download it for free right here. Enjoy!

Tonight is the opening of a great dual show at Rotofugi, with new works by Jeremy Tinder (The Living Line) and Steve Seeley (All We Ever Do Is Fight).

And of course, you'll find fresh gear newly stocked from all our fam, including Rotofugi, Loyal Locals, Formula, and Shawnimals.

So, I just posted about the new Mike Gao / Daisuke Tanabe split 12" dropping this month in conjunction with Finest Ego and Project: Mooncircle. Today, I see that Jesus Face posted a link to the new video from the project as well. The music is obviously dope as hell, but I hope you're prepared to get mind-fucked by the video. I was, a bit. Confused, and mind-fucked. But don't get me wrong: It's crazy well-done. Enjoy...

We've been feverously working on a brand new website for the past umpteen forevers. In the meantime, we've been sporadically putting up both new gear and classics - the latter upon request or whenever the mood strikes.

Yes. Kid Static did an interview for MusicVox that just got picked up by WBEZ 91.5 FM, aka Chicago's National Public Radio affiliate. He gets thrown a lot of good questions and gives his insight on the ridiculous amount of diversity in his skills and music. They also play clips from tracks and all that good stuff. You can stream or download the interview right here. Be sure to check out his website for updates on his new videos, upcoming album, and his Pledge Music project. I can't say it enough: LISTEN TO KID STATIC.

And that's how it's done. Good friend and longtime beat murderer Dreas has just released his newest album, Dreastronaut, on Galapagos4. Check out how this maestro gets down... You can cop a free MP3 of "Time out of Joint" right here, and read more about the album & buy it for your listening pleasure in both digital and CD format at the Galapagos4 online store. Highly recommended! Press release below, enjoy... 'Dreastronaut', the new album from Heardrums label owner & longtime G4 cohort extends out past the normal samples, production styles, and concepts and takes the listeners someplace otherworldly. Not taking the time to sit down and listen to the album in its entirety is a missed opportunity to experience an important component of this sound collage. The end result is a uniquely upbeat soundscape with vibrant scenes of varying emotion and movement surrounded by clouds of opiate laced mood music. Standout tracks: “Love Strain”, which is somewhat reminiscent of Star Slinger’s more modern soul influenced hip-hop beats, “Time Out Of Joint” with Dreas’ crisp drum sounds alongside pitched down vocal samples a la Clams Casino, “Michiana Noise” which combines campfire sounds and lush orchestral samples to create a stimulating sonic environment, and “Island Grey” whose punchy drums, deep bass, and subtle sounds of the Atlantic Ocean form a chillwave winner.

DJ Intel is at it again! His new podcast is a set from the Subfix party at the legendary Smartbar in Chicago. Get your musical eclecticism on with another banger from the man himself. Listen below and download it right here. Worrrrrrrrrrrrrd...

More or less. Certainty of skill exists in a major way here, with a one-night only stop of the "Quick and Painful" exhibit, presented by Hope Gallery Tattoo and curated by none other than the mistress of ruling the Earth, Nichole East (aka The Baroness). So, our fam from that camp swings by Chicago to do a very special show with our fam at Rotofugi. How about that? Fantastico! This gallery show features tattoo flash prints by a ton of amazing artists, such as: Alex Pardee, Amanda Visell, Brandt Peters, Camilla D’Errico, David Horvath, Devilrobots, Frank Kozik, Greg “Craola” Simkins, Huck Gee, Joe Ledbetter, Junko Mizuno, Kathie Olivas, Pete Fowler, Ron English, Sam Flores, TADO, Tara McPherson, and Tokidoki co-founder and creative director Simone Legno. Damn right. Limited edition prints will be available, and maestros Joe Capobianco, Patrick Cornollo, Jennifer Trok, Heath Rave, and Sean Adams will be in the house doing some tattooing on the spot. Swing by, say hi to the crew, see some fucking amazing work, and hell, get some work done on you.

WTF. I'm not really sure how much I can preach to y'all that you should be paying attention to - and listening to - Kid Static. We are all lucky that this guy exists: The talent is just so fucking immense. Us folks over here are unbelievably lucky to both have him as a friend and have been able to follow his career from nearly the beginning. Dude is just...a fucking genius. I don't say shit like that lightly, so when I say 'listen up' - I mean it. And with that said, I am overly pleased to see that his new video is for the song "When My Soul Goes Down." It's easily one of my most favorite tracks he's recorded, and I'm ecstatic that he dropped a video for it. Not only that, but the video is extremely well done. Major props to someone who deserves them to the highest degree. Watch the video here, visit his website here, and check out his Pledge Music project here. And one more thing: LISTEN TO KID STATIC.

Got caught slippin'! When I re-upped all of our legendary "City Series" T-shirts, I fuckedededed up and forgot to renew the "Loyal to Kansas City" joint. Well, a customer just smacked me in the face with a reminder, to which I responded, "Gee, I'm a dumbass!" I then went to work and put the shirt back online. (Thanks, Rachel!) So then, you can get "Loyal to Kansas City" in Build Your Own fashion for men, women and kids, right here. And if you're looking for over two dozen other cities, you can get them for all walks of life in our online store. Enjoy...

Tonight at the Changing Room in Berlin! 2econd Class Citizen continues his EU tour with a set alongside our very own DJ Jesus Face, our good friend DJ Scientist, the amazingly talented Playpad Circus, and DJ ThinkMad. Head on over there, grab some beers, dance your ass off, and listen to some fresh fuckin' tunes. Ya'heard? Flyer below...

One of our favorite artists and people on the planet is Kid Static. We don't say that shit lightly. Dude has always been seriously great fam to us, and he's so fucking talented that we often joke about how sickening it is that one man can be so damn skilled at so many damn things. It's all love, but we totally say that shit haha. So then, the man himself is working on a brand new solo album, and he's got a Pledge Music page up so you can support the project and help him get this shit out there to more people on the globe. You can also get all kinds of cool shit in return for doing your thing to help him do his thing. Get on over to the Pledge Music page to read more about Kid Static, his music, and the project. Do it up...

What, what. Famalam keep it moving with seriously strong projects, collaborations, and more. This time it's the superb DJ Intel mixing up classics and new treats from The OPUS, also known as one of the most bad-ass production duos on Earth. Word to that shit. The Opus of the OPUS II features the likes of Rubberoom, Earatik Statik, Thawfor, Pigeon John, Del, and more on a serious audio journey through the minds of some masters. Words by these guys, beats by The OPUS, mixed up by DJ Intel? Come on now. You can cop it for free right here. Enjoy!

Another new banger for your headpiece. DJ Jesus Face threw up a new mix, featuring a whole lot of gangster shit. And I'm giving him props for track selection here, as some of these tracks take me all the way back to high school and right up to the other day. He also gets extra points for putting a 5th Ward Boyz track on there, because I'm pretty sure that if you're not from Houston or you're not my age, you have no idea about the raw, classic shit that you've been missing for the last 20 years. Don't get me wrong. I love the Geto Boys, and Bushwick Bill's solo shit, and all the dopeness that came out of Houston after that (which also makes its mark on this mix). But outside of Texas, I'm pretty sure that a lot of people slept on other Rap-A-Lot friends like 5th Ward Boyz and Too Much Trouble. That shit straight ran my tape deck in the early 90s. Not to mention: Dre Dog? Really? Dude is a fucking legend. I do not joke around when I say that shit. I bought The New Jim Jones when it came out, and it probably changed my brain forever. He's now known as Andre Nickatina, and he's still killing shit in the Bay. Get your learn on. Don't even get me started on Nine. So, enough of my ranting. The mix is below, and it's free (Mixcloud). Do your thing!

Always been a big fan. Nice guys, to boot. 'Bout time these fools got around to releasing some new goodness to the masses. Adeem and MF Shalem's Made in New Hampshire album drops digitally in October. Word to that shit. In the meantime, peep the first single off the album; it's a fucking banger. Website here, Soundcloud link for "Get It" here. Props to Jesus Face for the info. Enjoy... Adeem & DJ MF Shalem - Get It by djmfshalem

New shit, new shit, new shit! DJ Jesus Face is rocking the party tonight at Dr. Pong in Berlin. Come over, have a few drinks, catch some tunes, and play some motherfuckin' ping pong. Ya heard?! If you don't know where you are, it's in the Prenzlauer Berg district, just west of the Eberswalder U-Bahn stop. If your feet don't work, you can get there on the U2, M1, M10, and M12. Then crawl from where you get off. Don't ask about bus routes 'cause I never ride the bus. Google map that shit if you're still lost. Flyer below the mix. Cool? Oh yeah, it's free. New shit, free shit! See you there...

Pretty much. The folks over at ATM Gallery are having a grand re-opening, um, opening, at their new space in Berlin this Saturday. They'll be featuring bad-ass new works by bad-ass artists, including ELIOT (Vienna), EMESS (Berlin), Leon Reid IV (New York), JUST (Berlin), SpY (Madrid), and STINK! (London).

I love the old shit, no doubt. Anyone who knows me, knows that. DJ Jesus Face just dropped a new free mix titled It's All About the Drums. It features a ton of classic rock - and the glory of the drums - over 22 tracks. I love most of the music on here, but I cannot resist giving him shit about the inclusion of Jethro Tull. Fucking poppy fields and folksy rock flutes. Fuck that. He swears he only put it on there for the drums, but I find that to be suspect! Either way, get the mix free right here and rock out to his musical selection that includes David Bowie, Rush, the Steve Miller Band, Derek and the Dominos, and a whole lot more. Dope!

Quick post up for y'all, then it's back to work. Mr. Muthafuckin' Exquire. I can't remember the last time someone sent me some rap which I thought was hella dope and not made by someone I personally know. Not sure if that says more about me or about hip-hop these days. Anyway, dude is crazy raw and I'm gonna be rocking the hell out of this video/song for a good while. Shouts to Alex Pathetic (aka Rapewolf) for putting me onto this shit. Check out the video for "Huzzah," then click here for more videos, and get the Tumblr page here. Enjoy...

We are proud to finally drop Peabe's first Formula Werks release. You should know the man, myth, and legend by now, as he's painted a wide swath of goodness from coast to coast and now runs his own line, Finally Hip. Chicago-bred and based in the Bay Area, Peabe knows how to get down with colorful characters, wild palettes, and an extremely vivid imagination. "Brute" is a limited edition piece available for men, women, and kids...Get it in the online store while you can!

Ken Keirns has been doing it proper for as long as I can remember. I love it when one of the best artists around just so happens to be one of the nicest fellows around as well. Utterly unique and amazing in detail and form, Ken's work is just one of those things you can't help but love and possibly envy. So it is with great skill-jocking that I tell you he has a solo show opening tonight, 17 June 2011, at myplasticheart in New York City. If you're out that way, I highly suggest you head on over there and check it out. If you can't make it, mph should have the remaining works available online after the dust has settled. Well, if there are any remaining works - good luck with that! See the details below... Complete sidenote: We have very limited quantities of Ken's "Randy" T-shirt available for a brief time in new colourways for men, women, and kids. Pick that up right here. » What: "Monkey in the Middle," new works by Ken Keirns » Where: myplasticheart, 210 Forsyth St., New York, NY 10002 » When: Friday, 17 June 2011, 6-9pm (show runs through 17 July 2011) » More Info: myplasticheart.com

Vivid imagination creates quite the artistic output, eh? Peabe kills it here with his skull-masked, punk-style psycho fluorescence, crossing bones from his own personal collection.

Chicago-based rapper, producer, artist, and of course family of ours, Dmnology (aka Demon), has already hit European soil, and will be performing at a few venues while he's around. He'll also be painting at the legendary Meeting of Styles graffiti festival in its hometown of Wiesbaden/Mainz-Kastel, Germany, this weekend, and again at the MOS stop in Perpignan, France, a week later. His shows start tonight in Leipzig, where he'll be performing with Pseudo Slang. Then it's on to Meeting of Styles near Frankfurt, and off to a show with the ever-so-talented Galapagos4 and Machine Muerte producer, DJ, and technical genius Mike Gao. After that comes the MOS stop in Perpignan, France. Check out the tour schedule below, and hit up Dmnology on Facebook, MySpace, and YouTube. All Meeting of Styles info can be found here. » 15 June @ Neues Schauspiel (with Pseudo Slang) - Leipzig, Germany » 18-19 June @ Meeting of Styles - Mainz-Kastel, Germany » 22 June @ 21 Soundbar (with Mike Gao) - Paris, France » 25-26 June @ Meeting of Styles - Perpignan, France

Beasts. That's what all these guys are. If you don't know, you really, really should. I'm fortunate enough to have known Maker for over a decade, when he was still living an hour from the city, making music with something like 87 of his friends. (See: TBA, Costume, etc.) Going to and/or throwing house parties. Road trips with Ketel One and virtually no sleep. Fax machines. Now, it's 2011, and this guy is making more music for more people. You hear his shit. I know you do. Movie trailers, commercials, video games, small dive bars, on tour across the world. The list goes on. Top that off with someone like Zavala, who I swear hid his talents from people for years before he decided to release his inimitable skills upon the Earth. I remember him letting people hear his beats way back when, and me (along with like 400 other people at the bar or whatever) would bug the shit out of this guy. "Why don't you put some shit out? Why don't you do more beats for people?" He'd act all humble an' shit, like he had no confidence. Such a fucking lie. I swear it was like one day, he just came out of the basement or something with dynamite strapped to his torso, holding a couple of rocket launchers and asking, "Who wants to fuck with me now, bitches?" It didn't really happen like that, but it sure does feel like it. So, these are two extra-nice and extra-talented guys, two people for whom I've always had mad respect. This, along with the fact that they can produce better music than most people on this entire planet, is the reason why you should get your ass over to their release party on Saturday in Chicago. Maker has a new tandem record out with another producer extraordinaire, Joe Beats, titled Falcon by Design, and Zavala is dropping the instrumental LP of the Vessel album by Dark Time Sunshine. Also killing it will be DJ Abilities (who you should definitely know) and the always bangin' DJ Pratt. Check the info below, pick up the records from the wonderful folks at Fieldwerk, and get your ass on over to the party. Oh, P.S. Maker has a new interview up in the Chicago Tribune. Check it here. » What: Zavala, Maker & Joe Beats Double Album Release Party » Where: Subterranean, 2011 W. North Ave., Chicago, IL 60647 » When: Saturday, 11 June 2011, 10pm-3am (FREE) » More Info: fieldwerk.com

When Jesus Face sent the link for this video to me, I honestly thought it was going to be fucking stupid. Animation + kids with toy guns = whatever. Good thing I watched it anyway. I don't know how kids play these days, but back when I was a little jerk, we played non-stop throughout the neighborhood and adjoining woods with toy guns. The rich kids had Entertech ones, which totally looked real. I had some other shit; I don't even remember what it was, but it certainly wasn't one of those bad-ass Entertech joints. I know you can't do that shit anymore, since so many parents suck and kids can hardly be raised right and you end up with a bunch of little thugs pulling jump-jobs on unassuming innocent folk. Not to mention that if you have anything resembling an actual gun, you might as well just get shot by the cops before you leave the house. Anyway, the band Is Tropical, who I'd never even heard of before today, did this song called "The Greeks," and released the below music video for it. Kids running around the neighborhood with toy guns, doing drug deals, whatever. And some ridiculous animation added in with crazy amounts of blood splatter and total violence. I warn you now that this is not a kid-friendly video. Unless, of course, you are or were a kid like me, and you, frankly, love some good old-fashioned violence. We laughed our asses off over here. Oh, and the song is pretty fucking awesome, too. Major propers to the band and the guys who put together the music video. Top notch...

We love metal. We love art. We love our friends. And we love our family at OhNoDoom!. So, it's fairly easy to say that you should go check out the show that opened this weekend at their gallery space in Chicago. "Friends of the Beast: A Tribute to Metal" is a group show featuring the obvious topic and new work by a slew of extremely talented artists, including Joey Potts and Saro from our own family, as well as amazing people such as Artillery, David Rettker, and Matthew Ryan Sharp. (See the OhNoDoom! website for a full artist list.) The show runs through June 25th, so you have plenty of time to swing by the fine OhNoDoom! establishment to check out the greatness and pick up some goods. Info is below, along with the flyer and a sneak peak at the piece featured by Joey Potts... » What: "Friends of the Beast: A Tribute to Metal" Group Show » Where: OhNoDoom!, 1800 N.

You already know that we're close family with the guys over at Galapagos4, the Chicago-based label that's been dropping some super-original music for over a decade now. One of their mainstay producers is Meaty Ogre, who has been digging through dirty crates, making ridiculous beats, and DJing for as long as I can remember. He's produced a slew of greatness for G4 and other labels during this time, and set his sights on a five-track EP with someone who's not so elusive as his rap career might have you believe. That would be Rift Napalm, who just so happens to be one multi-talented motherfucker. I have known this guy, too, for as long as I can remember. And while he has also been rapping forever - and has rapped on some of my favorite tracks from random tour or exclusive, limited G4 releases (among other projects) - he's usually focused on being a bad-ass photographer. I honestly can't tell you how many times I or others I know have gotten on Rift's case about putting out an actual release. And, well, 2011 is that time. About fucking time, that is. G4 just released Meaty & Rift's new project, titled Closure. It features five new tracks from two very talented folks, available exclusively as a digital release. I want to give a major shout-out to both of these cats, as well as the crew who runs G4, because I can only imagine everything that had to go down before this shit could happen. I'll say it again: It's about fucking time! So then, the EP is out, and you can download it right here for a mere $4.95. You shant be disappointed! Major propers, y'all...

I just added two T-shirts to the online store from our "Made In" series by Loyal Locals. These celebrate our two hometowns, Chicago and Berlin. You can scoop 'em up now in a half-dozen colors for men, women and kids. Jeah!
