Heliocentrics X Mulatu Astake collab

Posted in All, Art, Film, Music on July 31st, 2009 by Bear

Legendary Ethiopian jazz master Mulatu and the timeless UK psychedelic fusion group Heliocentrics have teamed up for something new yet with a familiar feel. They were touring throughout Europe and hitting Amsterdam soon. Malcolm Catto is also the drummer known for his work with the Soul Destroyers, pretty raw funk group. The music of Heliocentrics is difficult to categorize, it has its own unique sound, but moments you can hear minute influences of Axelrod, James Brown, Miles Davis.

TUF 10 : Rampage, Rashad, and Kimbo

Posted in All, Culture, Film, Sports on July 28th, 2009 by Bear

tuf10

I not usually a fan of reality TV, but certain Seasons of the Ultimate Fighter take the cake. This one definitely looks like its worth its way in gold. Larger than life former light-heavyweight champion, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson was brought into the American MMA Media with his first round destruction of the legendary Iceman and unification of both Pride and UFC belts . He now takes on another former champion, Rashad Evans, whose rise to stardom was not only meteoric, but haphazard, infamous the first man to really knock out Chuck Liddell cold, then taking the belt from Forrest Griffin, only to lose to the current champion, Lyoto Machida.


Rampage and Rashad both have some beef after Rampage scored a decision victory over former Greg Jackson disciple, Keith Jardine.

Here is the post fight war.. between Rampage and Rashad. To add fuel to the fire, internet Knockout sensation Kimbo will be added to the cast of this season, featuring a return to the heavyweight class. Dana White once said the only way.. Kimbo was getting into the UFC was through The Ultimate Fighter. To quote Rampage: “It’s time for some Black on Black Crime!!”
