YOU GOT KNOCKED THE FUGGOUT!
Yyyyeah... folks may have noticed the recent outages the site's been having as of late. I'm gonna guess the White Supremacists have some hand in this, but that may be assuming that we're popular enough for the Klan to notice, so maybe not.
But um... because we can't really call when the site's due for its next meltdown, this post shalt be a big 'un (as opposed to a little 'un, or a pear-shaped 'un... whatchu know about David Faustino??) and hope it covers folks for a minute.
First things first though... PLUGGING.
------------------------
VIA Seasonal * SUMMER 2005 // The Gumbo Funk EP Release Party
What is "Gumbo Funk?" Allow yourself to be introduced properly when this left-field DJ lineup breaks down the barriers between funk and crunk, between all things hype and hopping from the first world to the third and outward into the bumpisphere. Get there early for free SPARKS (and $3 Buds) and sweat through the summer night whilst getting your dirty groove on. Free Via t-shirt and Bastardjazz giveaways, new mix CDs for the first 100 in the door, and your chance to pick up Captain Planet's highly anticipated GUMBO FUNK EP before anybody else gets their greasy fingers all over it!

...now to give shine to other fine events occurring not-online:
10deep family is releasing Volume 7: SunLovers (mixed by DJ Ayres) this Saturday at the Rub-a-Dub, Max Glazer and Eddie Stats of HEAVYWE1GHT Sessions holding the floor with Ayres... the mix is on some soundtrack to summer tip, pleez beelee. Via folks will definitely be in attendance.
For folks on the left coast (North and South Califas), Catchdini and A-Trak are hitting you at Milk on Friday and The Rec Center on Saturday.
After you watch Batman like 700 times, you may wanna catch the opening of the new IFC Film Center, where Miranda July's Me and You and Everyone We Know will be screening. While this movie has no Humvee-based vehicles or batarangs, it still managed to win awards and positive reviews. I don't know how critics work either.
Good looks to Daisy for putting me onto Rooftop Films -underground movies outdoors.. clever clever.
...bah. NYC in the summer overload... too much cool shit to do... just go here and sort it all out for yourself. I like how Grizzly Bear fools keep us in the loop too... East River Music Project???? Blowing up, boyos!
...and closing off with some random steez:
Oni Press is putting on an open talent search for those of you (me) who still wanna be comic book artists.
FINALLY... SIGN THIS like yesterday. I know it seems like we've been heavy on the petitions lately (2 in a week), but seriously folks... the children are our future. Pffffffftttt... how bout kids who grow up without Sesame Street and Reading Rainbow are gonna be all sorts of dumbtarded and boring and let's face it... prolly ugly.
