This Super 8 mm gem was captured by Tracy 168. I believe it was shot sometime
around 1974. The clip offers a candid look at some of subway graffiti’s early pioneers.
There are (youthful) appearances by original Wanted and Wild Style members: Tracy 168,
King 2, Chi-Chi 133, Cliff 159, Bot 707 and others - as well as some of classic subway graffiti
from Tracy 168, Phase 2, P-Nut 2, MR 6 (Riff 170), Cliff 159, Kindo, Zest, Bic 149 and Mico…

From Boston Dynamics - The leader in life-like human simualtion comes Big Dog.
The Most Advanced Quadruped Robot on Earth Big Dog is the alpha male of the Boston
Dynamics family of robots. It is a quadruped robot that walks, runs, and climbs on rough
terrain and carries heavy loads. Big Dog is powered by a gasoline engine that drives a
hydraulic actuation system. Big Dog’s legs are articulated like an animal’s, and have
compliant elements that absorb shock and recycle energy from one step to the next.
Big Dog is the size of a large dog or small mule, measuring 1 meter long, 0.7 meters tall
and 75 kg weight. In separate trials, BigDog runs at 4 mph, climbs slopes up to 35 degrees,
walks across rubble, and carries a 340 lb load.

MJ an unsung pioneer in the graffiti-music game. Check the song after Dancing Machine.
The clip is from The Jackson’s Variety Show which debuted on CBS in (mid) 1976 and ran
through March 1977. It was the first variety show ever hosted by an African American family.

Unfortunately I don’t know when this originally aired. My best guess is sometime
around 1984. The video(s) include interviews with Charlie Ahearn, Stefan Eins,
Patty Astor, Fab 5 Freddy, Futura, Keith Haring, Crash, Jean-Michel Basquait…
also featuring artwork by Daze, Pink, Lady Heart, A-One and music by Rammellzee.

In last night’s UFC 82: Pride of a Champion main event - middleweight champion Anderson Silva
submitted Dan Henderson by way of rear naked choke in the closing seconds of the 2nd round.
Yesterdays title unification bout awarded Silva the (now defunct) Pride middleweight championship
belt. Although the belt may only serve as a souvenir from last night’s win, the victory helps solidify
Silva’s spot as pound for pound one of the best fighters in the Mixed Martial Arts world.
