Whether it be my "thug life" tattoo or my Elton John album collection... I think you'll find that I have pretty eclectic tastes. I like to have a good time and experience new things. If you stick around long enough, hopefully that will be translated through this blog.joe dizzlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03750391609006908247joegalvan@gmail.comBlogger10125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8254407031638416214.post-10243284789466608542009-12-24T04:20:00.000-06:002009-12-24T13:58:28.951-06:00

Lots and lots of empty room around here lately. Sorry, I've been busy. *shrugs*Not to worry, I'm back to blow your minds with great stuff. I've got a shit-ton of features and articles queued up and ready to post. Each day up until the new year, I'll be posting numerous back-logged articles to get us up to speed.You're welcome, America.-uno

Scott Dunbar is not you're average musician. While most cats are clamoring for studio time, Scott would rather sit at the park and kick his suitcase.Writing, singing and playing. That's what he believes musicians should be concerned with. Not finding the perfect pitch, recording the best take, or organizing your upcoming show schedule. Just focus on your craft.As a dude that's moderately creative

The Air Griffey Max was the first of many iconic signature joints to be worn by The Kid. They are also my favorites.As expected, the original Freshwater and Volt colorways flew off the shelves in 2009. After a few disappointing releases, the latest retro+ might put the Griff's back in the "must have" column.Hit the jump for some detail shots.click to read full entryA lot of times updated versions

Back up in this bitch with the resurrection. Before the Breds, there were the Columbias. Before the Columbias, there were the Concords. But before hypebeasts were around to attach a lame moniker to every model, there were only the Space Jams.With the upcoming re-release, I thought it was only fair to give these joints the spotlight they deserve. Hit the jump for a bit of history and some

Meet Comenius Roethlisberger and Admir Jahic. They are two of the many talented cats from The Invisible Heroes. These gents have extensive portfolios featuring more traditional works, but they decided to team up and do something a little different.That something is a project called, "Without You Baby, There Ain't No Us."click to read full entryI'm a hater.

This entry needs no lead-in. We've lost an icon. We all cope with loss differently... this entry is my therapy.In addition to some of my favorite rare tracks, I want to offer you all a photographic look back at the life of a King. From his first Motown photo shoot to his last press conference. Let us celebrate the life of Michael Jackson.click to read full entryI won't front, MJ's passing has

Matt Penttila and Alex Fitts have been doing this music thing for a while. While America's youth is out buying skinny jeans and sending tweets, these dudes have been on their grizzly producing tracks for hip-hop's elite and composing joints for their own indie project.Unfortunately most folks have never even heard of them. Let me take this opportunity to formally introduce you all. Meet The

My dudes Eric and Jeff Rosenthal bring the funny. In today's world where everyone has a damn flip cam and a video blog, the gents at ItsTheReal are clearly a cut above the rest.In what I consider their best work to date, the homies teamed up with rap supergroup, Slaughterhouse.While the video has been getting lots of love the past few weeks, I recently stumbled upon some outtakes and bloopers

In regards to photographers, the homie Peter Beste is somewhat of a strange fig when you get right down to it.Most cats tend to focus on subjects that are perceived to be glamorous or beautiful, while Mr. Beste focuses his attention on subjects that are sometimes misrepresented and misunderstood. While his body of work can take you across the world, I'd like to give you a brief tour of Houston,

Summa, summa.. summer time. Time to chill at the pool, barbecue and (if you're from Texas) suffer from mild heat exhaustion. But regardless of where you rest your head, it remains imperative that you are fly in any weather.
