Letting The Bed Bugs Bite…

House centipedes – These are the GOOD bedbugs…

Rebe Jackson – ‘Centipede’

Sometimes I miss the good ol’ bad New York City of my youth. This was the New York City where the subways were filled graffiti and not some bullshit where the MTA lets corporations wrap trains top to bottom with paid advertisements.

This latest incarnation of New York City is acting pretty bitchmade if you ask me. Maybe it was all that Disney shit filling up Times Square and chasing away the hookers and closing the arcades. It’s definitely not sexy to see all this anti-Islam fervor being generated over a community center, but the blind fear people are circulating over bed bugs might be the worst thing yet.

The damn things are so small they can barely be detected and if you also have house centipedes they will eat the bed bugs so your problem solved. If people want to fear something they should worry about all the vermin feces they inhale everytime a subway car wrapped with advertisements blows into their station.

Truth be told is that I’m hoping on cashing in on the bed bug hysteria in my own little way. Niketown has reported an infestation in their store’s stockroom. Hopefully they will be discounting some AirMax 2009 to the low low. I’ll be there to pick up those pieces.

I can see Patrick Ewing taking an NBA franchise to the promised land and he never looked more Jamaican than the years he rocked that Red Sea part in his hair.

Das Racist Is From The Future…

dr sit dawn man

Being an Internets Celebrity isn’t always all low-brow glamorous like eating an extra value crispy chicken meal at Wendy’s. Like all the best low paying professions there’s some work involved in doing this. It’s good for me that I like this job.

Das Racist invited me to hang out with them at the release party for their latest mixtape project ‘Sit Down, Man’. You might imagine that the tripster darlings of the internets know how to throw a party. Well I’ll confirm the yes. It starts with letting anyone who arrives early get their drink on gratis of the producing party promoting Cerberus – Greedhead, Mad Decent and Mishka.

A few bands that DR fux with opened the stage up for them. Tecla Esposito, who is also part of the retro electro galactic R & B band Gordon Voidwell was the first act. I think I’m in love with her. Keepaway brought an Amish drum and bass rockstar vibe to the party. Next was Maluca Mala who made me think she could be the daughter of Sheila E. and Prince, if they had ever mated.

Das Racist was due to perform next but my glass slipper was about to become a wooden clog because I had to scramble back to Brooklyn to record the Combat Jack Radio Show. I missed the DR set but these folks caught it and liked it.

salmon

If you knew how fucked the fuck up farm raised salmon was from the gate you would only eat pork. Per volume it is filled with the most anti-biotics of any meat. Put it to you this way… Farm raised salmon is bad for you. Period.

So when this biotech company, AquAdvantage, is pushing a salmon that has been genetically modified to remove all the bad shit that comes from raising these fish in the filthy water conditions of fisheries I think we should all embrace the future.

Besides, they have prA’li been pushing genetically altered salmon on us for the last decade since they invented the process. Think about all the shit you already eat that has been made different from science. Seedless watermelons are modified. How the hell can a watermelon NOT have seeds. That’s like a person not having sperm or ovaries.

What I’m trying to tell you is that the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of this funky fish is a forgone conclusion considering all the contaminated Gulf seafood we can’t bring to the table.

Soylent Green however is people.
