HA! F-W-I! If you don’t know what FWI means, you should ask Cayle Hunter, cuz he says it all the time. Maybe you should look it up right now. Go ahead. FWI. Click that shit.

Anyways. Here’s the real point of this blog. I assume you’re probably just perusing the internet right now, at about 25 MBPH, a slow surf on a cruiser bored board. Well, here’s a little salt for your tastebuds: Trouble Me Flickr. From Oakland. A photografffffer.

If you wanna hang out in a soft world of beautiful fair maidens and mystical creatures among other awesome paintings, check out this thumbnaily website, the Artwork of Katherine Dinger. Appreciate the website for it’s simplicity. It takes 2 seconds to load and look… there’s a unicorn!!!!!!12

YEP!!! You’re absolutely right.

My first experience with Spiritualized was shortly after they released “Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space,” a beautifully plodding collection of altitude dementia and psychedelic landscapes. Great album to listen to while sitting around, stoned out of your brain while watching candles drip, by the way.

My second experience with Spiritualized happened when they opened for Radiohead at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco. Easily the most boring set I had witnessed up to that point. While the music was decent, it was less than lively, and the lack of a visual element made it even less engaging.

I guess to truly enjoy Spiritualized you also need something neat to look at. With that, J-Spaceman has launched SpiritualizedHarmonies, a website that links a visual component to Spiritualized’s vividly textural music. Check it out.

I’ll let you know if it works stoned later on.

JoeX2 is an awesome graffiti artist that has been a major player in the Los Angeles graffiti movement since it emerged in the 1980’s. JoeX2 started out in the graffiti art subculture and recently moved his artwork out of the community and into mainstream popular culture. He teamed up with JanSport for its Spring 2008 Artist Series in New York City.

His collections for the Artist Series are titled “JoeX2″ and “Seeing Red.” JoeX2 or “Joe Joe” is from Philadelphia and his graffiti is a mix of old school style and underground art. He focuses on issues like cultural materialism and has some badass portraits. Here’s an example of his work & the new JanSport line he collaborated with artist Julie West on.
