Wants VS Needs is happening again tomorrow night! Our monthly third Friday dance extravaganza is once again upon us. Myself and the rest of the team will be at First Ave's Record Room tomorrow (Friday) night from 10 til 2 playing all your favorite rap/r&b/dance/amazing jams. We're going to be giving away a very limited number of screen printed posters designed by Adam Garcia too. You best get down there! WE PARTY!!

Super shoutout to my designer / drummer / film enthusiast friend Sam Smith (Sam's Myth) for putting me up on this incredible children's book from the Czech Republic. He came across a copy in Japan and showed it to me when we were nerding out over design books during Thanksgiving break. This book, written by Vera Provazníková and illustrated by Jan Kubícek, was released in 1983 but has a distinct early '70s feel to it. Maybe it's because they weren't able to easily keep up with new design trends in the rest of the world or maybe it's because they loved these styles, but alot of Eastern European designers held onto the popular design and illustration styles from the early 1970s all throughout the '80s and I don't have a problem with that at all. OK, now sit back and enjoy just a few samples from this great book:

Hungry? Watch the latest episode of Shake 'N Bake and you will be. Our buds Eunice, Doomtree's P.O.S, and Broken Crow's John Grider are cookin' up a nice big batch of donuts. High five to John for rockin' our Censored Rap Video shirt! Pay close attention to the tunes that Get Cryphy DJs / BRLSQ male models Last Word and Plain Ole Bill are dropping throughout the video. Very clever, those two.
