There is no Passion anymore. The hipsters have won. I have grown a mustache, developed a new-found appreciation for Man Man and refuse to swaddle myself in anything but the finest fabrics made with real American (or at least Mexican-American) labor in Downtown Los Angeles. The Revolution is over. Feed me headbands or feed me organic vegan corn dogs and Kombucha tea. I’m a beast.
Really, so, uh, yeah, the big ad next to this post, sorry. I know it’s a bit obtrusive, but since I’ve been blogging for free for two and a half years, I feel that it’s okay to have an ad or two because like the other Wayne: “I refuse to bow to any corporate sponsors.” Of course, I say this while eating a bag of Doritos and drinking Pepsi, the choice of the new generation.

I’m going to Puerto Vallarta for a week for a friend’s wedding. Tough life. In the meantime, starting tomorrow, I’ll have a Murderer’s Row of guest bloggers filling in for me. If you need me in the interim ask for Jefe. I’ll be the one drinking tequila out of a sombrero. It’s the Latin equivalent of drinking rum out of Stanley cups.

My friend, the advice vixen, Stephanie Frasco, has taken out an ad on the right hand sidebar of this page. She has also started a new blog for her renowned You Tube advice column, Ask Frasco. Though I’m obviously biased, I think you should check it out if you have a spare moment. The girl gives funny, on-point advice and has an encyclopedic knowledge of the finest Mexican restaurants in the city of Los Angeles. Not bad. So click over there, or follow this link to the Ask Frasco blog.

I’ve spent most of the morning listening to my man Zilla’s Ghostface podcast. Definitely worth your time on this pre-Xmas Saturday.
Check it out.
And as a bonus, here’s Zilla’s re-working of Common’s “I Used to Love H.E.R. remix.” Also highly recommended.

This is going to take a while to unravel, but on first listen, it’s clear that at the very least, 8 Diagrams > Iron Flag.
Your thoughts?

Apparently in an effort to save itself from total insolvency, the recording industry is now taking tips from Hollywood. Meaning sequels. So by the logic that Kanye Vs. 50 ended up actually making everyone go to the record shop for the first time in years, the powers that-be are now presumably trying to make every single big release an “event.” So mark your calendars because Dec. 4th is going to be ridiculous, with the the new Ghostface album, The Big Dough Rehab, the Wu’s 8 Diagrams and uh….The Carter III. As Ian Cohen said, “The Internet’s gonna’ be a fun place that day.”I’m supposed to be interviewing Ghost next Tuesday. Which means I’ll probably end up sitting alone with Sean Wiggs. Hopefully, his weed carrier title will prove to be valid.Download:
