Fish posted today on his FB about an upcoming show he is working on for the Joshua Liner Gallery in NY.  He says, “the show is about telling stories. i have collected 30 interesting folks to sit down and tell me an interesting story or two. i take that story, and use that story as inspiration to make a painting. below is a story i got from SNOOP DOGG. its about pulling out his “worm” in the lunch line to impress a girl in school”.

Interesting post from FunkProbosci about how a guy named Armen Boladian and his publishing company Bridgeport Music registered the copyright for a bunch of classic Funkadelic records and then sued people for sampling the tracks (he wasn’t working on behalf of the members of Funkadelic).    If you’re a musician, you might want to check this out.  It’s pretty crazy.  Thanks to homie Joe Schloss for passing us the link.

A-plus from Souls of Mischief just started a new blog called, “The Elephant in the Room“.   He posted up some new music & musings…one of the most underrated producers imho…
