Mare139, Team, ME62 on Air Interview
Definitely the realest show on NYC air, fuck the radio play when you can get ‘Real Talk’ like this and the best classic music ever made. NYC still has soul. Geebee Dajani, Keene Carse and connected Deuce crew aficionados provide this urban-laced talk show. Plan on getting flushed with R&B, Soul and Funk classics n rarities and swabbed with Hip Hop from the golden era.
I dropped in to kick it with the infamous ME62 and legend Team to take a trip down memory lane and to pay tribute to Tony Silver. If you didnt know about FortyDuceRadio now ya know!

I was featured in this report for a book I was a part of called “Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous and Obscure.” My infamous 6 words were- “wasnt noticed so I painted Trains”. For all you graff heads Im sure you would agree.

Last night Futura and I rolled to the screening of SprayMasters a MANFRED KIRCHHEIMER film, he shot Stations of the Elevated in 1977. It was a packed house by sadly there were only a handful of writers representing, among them LEE, Pink, and Smith.
The film is brilliant, I loved the old footage which is a rare archive of some of the best and formative whole cars ever painted. I was blown away by how many I remembered from that era, which to me was one of the best, I think 77-78-79 were the best Style eras, one can see the transformation of style and color usage from the old to the new school. It was great to see OG writers like MONO, IN, Slave, Best, Kool, CY TMB, NOC 167, and many many more up on the trains. This is a unique look at graff pre Style Wars which is also an important archive of the culture. Ive never seen footage like this and think that anyone interested or participating in graff wether on the streets or in museums, you should see this film.
The new interviews are genius, full of humor, honesty, wit and melancholy. I had a chance to see old friends in an intimate way discuss the by gone and the personal relationships they endured, the creative spirit, sacrifice, and community they lived in. Also it was good to hear their take on the beginning of the end when the culture was co-opted by galleries and institutions and what has transpired since. It was powerful and insightful even if these things I may already know it was a reminder of how far we have come and still wish to go.
Big up FUTURA, LEE, LADY PINK, ZEPHYR.

We lost a beloved friend this weekend and respectfully mourn with his family and the thousands of kids, artists and fans who took inspiration from his classic film Style Wars. Ive been friend of his for many years and have had a special attachment to him as a person who had a great depth of intellect in all areas of his life. As a mentor and friend I have known him for his appreciation for the art of life and the life of art in others, that is why he made Style Wars and Facing the Audience a film about Marshall Arisman. Many of you know that I have sought to extend the legacy of his work online with the website, a labor of love I have been doing since the beginning of the internet, it was this collaboration between him, Henry and myself that help bring more people to know and support the film. It is this collaboration that will continue on as the website goes into its next phase, realizing the enormous effect of his work on the global graffiti community. I will keep you all posted on what is to come next and where to leave your condolences, for now you may leave them at http://www.myspace.com/stylewars. Thank you Tony, and thank you Lisa Silver for caring for our friend.
