I hereby deem stockyards un-eatable-at simply because they are on St Clair which is to driving and parking what Africa is to being rich and not having HIV.

I would eat there at least once a week if they were on any other street. Fuck a St Clair.

you probably dont get it because your parents are probably still together. loser.

the new aesop rock/rob sonic project sounds interesting so far. its out digitally right now, called hail mary mallon.

Goblin a pretty good album overall... Pretty much what I was expecting. It's a little underproduced and could be tighter, but that's part of the charm. Alot of the shit goes hard, but I can't see it getting any serious mainstream attention because of the content, maybe I'll be wrong though. Something I really like about the album is that you really get a sense of Tyler's personality, he puts it all out there. Frank Ocean is def. gonna blow up though.

im pretty sure mainstream attention outside the blogosphere/pitchfork would be the equivalant of AIDS to the OF ouvre, the whole point is that they rock that underproduced, charmingly amateur, no-need-for-a-label style and do it in a way that makes everyone else wish they had have thought of it first. it takes a villian to make it work, and OF is doing a great job so far.

ps - someone pm me the album leak please.

that cardboard cutout needs to be giving kix a BJ though

i just moved and intend to put up some pics when i get some basics taken care of.

also, the mad italian is the most amazing gelato youll ever have, just sayin,

best porchetta soup yet was butternut squash with prosciutto, which was actually just porchetta skin. im dying for the day he does the sftshell crab hoagie and personally delivers them to my work again.

93 harbord has the best food outta the three, harbord room for drinks after and your golden. Drink arak with dinner at 93 though.

joso's has amazing seafood but its twice as expensive as anywhere else. still, the best $100 lunch you'll ever have in the mainland.

i just bought that whole series and have tried to knock them out between larger books.

In between Pale King chapters I'm tearing through the Tao of Wu. Pretty hilarious - maybe it will be insightful soon.

How is it not insightful already? The Kung Fu mythology meets nation of Islam prinicple filtered through dragonball z as parable for black masculine experience with anecdotal splashes of old dirty making his child watch him smoke crack literary device is as timeless as 'once upon a...' and delves deeper into a universal human condition that other authors have wasted anthologies trying to pinpoint than any other contemporary author has ever even attempted. Do the knowledge, god. If you can't see the underlying everythingness of the mathematics, your pillars of wisdom arent aligned to the karmic balance of the metaphysical unity of chi as earth. Maybe you're reading it wrong. It can't be absorbed superficially. You have to read it 'tiger style'. It's unorthodox, but effective. Finish your lessons, then hit me back at the god hour. Power and quality.

Also, this might be interesting to a few:

i wanna rap-hug you so hard right now, maybe homo.

About 500.

Honestly, my take on this situation is that it really is a matter of Hypebeast-ery for those seeking tickets, myself included. I've been following Odd Future since last September (thanks Noz) and while I like them, and think they'll do interesting places, the interest is this concert is beyond levels of absurd. While the show may be fun, how many hip hop acts have been around for way longer, and are objectively way, way better live, let alone have very large catalogues of songs from which to draw from. For example, a ticket to see Mobb Deep in Oshawa or Hamilton was $17 back in 2006 (before P went to Jail). This was one of Hip Hop's greatest groups (albeit perhaps at an all time low in their careers) with 2-3 classic albums, and over 16 years of performance experience (though you probably couldn't pay to go to Oshawa, but still).

The attention that OF is getting has reached a level of self-perpetuation where people feel as though they are missing because of the amount of interest that they are getting, which just furthers the attention. Having tickets is an issue of being "in". People who never really fuck with harder hip hop are buying tickets because of the inflated value. The question is, when, if ever, will this bubble burst?

ima agree 98% with the extra 2% reserved toward the basis that the exact same thing which makes them fashionably unmissable, also makes them culturally important. if their sony deal goes through, and they actually end up with their own sub-label on the steam of a small tour that sold out based on internet hype alone, they are essentially setting such a huge precedent in the record industry when few people know how to navigate the industry in a time of really chaotic bullshit. and they are cashing in on the fact that essentially they just dont give a fuck. when i have reason to beleive that its a gimmick and they are actually being artificially inflated, i will call bullshit on them. but as of now, and as someone who doesnt think their actual music is all that spectacular, i love what theyve done for themselves. if they put out a solid record that held up to my retarded hip hop standards, or even just levelled out as passable rap, id go total nerd boner over their every move. like basically, i could care less if they put out nothing but garbage for the next year, but if that year is spent having the rest of the industry trying to figure out how to tame a crew of teenagers who could give a fuck less about the industry while making power moves in the market theyve make a mockery of, i support all that. its kind of a performance art meta-criticism about how shit rap has become. which is infintely smarter than any bullshit i, or any other asshole with a keyboard, can communicate to the world at large. so ima let them swag this shit the fuck out and hope they do it with a shred of integrity. theyre doing pretty good so far.

How many more tickets went up? That's crazy how fast they went

Holy fuck you suck at this thread.

The movies easier to handle iif you don't expect it to be like the novel. I had heard how awful an adaptation it was and stayed away from it for a long time. When I finally got around to it, my expectations were low enough that I ended up appreciating it on it's own terms.

It's implied, don't worry.

I ride for Belmont though. If I could survive off one cut a year, I'd dobit with Dustin.

Fuck a crows nest and a Mexican imported coke. I ain't one to blow spots bur garrisons is where the haircuts is at if you can swing the price. Crows nest came outta that Belmont ( Vancouver) > blood and bandages (home of the shittiest clippers in the city) > whatever comes next lineage that started great and didn't follow through. I also hate making appointments, so I'm likely just babbling.

I think I gave it to my 15 year old sister afterward and was disturbed by how similar her reaction was.

I wanted to be in there but with enough awareness to laugh at it. When I read rules of attraction ( I was probably 19) I actually was mad that I hadn't written it because the sex/drugs/naivete was so close to what I was living through with my circle of friends that the relationship I had with the novel was almost palpable.

nay. thatd be $50 at a flea market.

i dont get it

That ones dope. Wish I could rep.
