New… and FREE!

“The Blob is a 32-minute, continuous mix of beats & sounds that have otherwise been orphaned by their hell-bound father. It is largely unmixed and occasionally offensive,” offered Aesop Rock. “James Lynch played bass on the one that sounds like an elf orgy. Allyson Baker played guitar on the last one. Mastered by Joey Raia.”

Aesop continued on to say, “You can play it with your friends, you can rap to it, you can dance to it, you can play it at a party, you could build a house to it, you can play it in the bedroom, you can play it in front of your parents. The best part about it? This is 100% free, and downloadable, on the computer-net.”

A bit of old yet still relevant news: If you notice these paintings at your homie’s house, please call Cotton Candy Machine 718.387.3844.  They are Amar Stewart’s paintings and were stolen from the Williamsburg gallery last month.  Sean (one of the gallery owners and  ZeroFriends homie) actually chased down a huge Basquiat painting (which was stolen but recovered).    If you want more of the details (and to see more of Amar Stewart’s excellent work), please check their blog.

True Clerks V4 — DJ Icewater X Jen B by True Clothing on Mixcloud

New mix from TRUE done by DJ Icewater with selections from Jen B.  She says, “I wanted to create a mix that was dominated by female artists. These songs have painted a backdrop for many significant moments in my life, not to mention they’re just damn good songs. Much love to DJ Icewater for bringing together track listings of so many different genres of music and making them flow…LIKE WATER FOR TRUE.” —

Great to hear these songs again…kinda miss this era of music.  Check their Mixcloud page to hear the other volumes of Clerks (music chosen by the TRUE fam)
