another day at Hot Dougs, Empower had the Spicy Smoked Alligator Sausage with Cajun Remoulade and Smoked Blue Cheese with a Corn Dog on the side, while i went for the Fire Dog w/ Cheese and the classic Char Dog w/ everything / no onions.

They have rattlesnake on the menu this week as well so don’t sleep…...

found this cover while doing some “research” online.

my good homie Logan Bay (1/2 of Gutter Butter) recently moved to Thailand, so unfortunately i can no longer stand drunkenly in the DJ booth with him yelling at the top of my lungs and making air horn noises and talking about the good old days. but one good part of the move is he has some time on his hands to make more mixes. he recently started making quick mini mixes of different themes and styles of music.

The first in a the series is a little old school Chicago style house workout! anyone who knows me knows i have a love for old Chicago house / acid / hip house so i was excited to see this one come out.

its hard to believe Company Flow’s “Funcrusher Plus” came out 12 years ago.

i sometimes miss the excitement of waiting for a record to come out, buying it at the record store, bringing it home and playing that shit over and over again for months. i guess thats why we call our past “the good old days”.

good friend and frequent collaborator Michael Genovese has a big show opening in Miami (where he has been living for the last year) this week at OH-WOW. expect some interesting installations and rumors of an obstacle coarse…..........

Mike Genovese
It’s Not The Heat, It’s The Humility

3100 NW 7 Avenue / Miami / Florida / 33127

and a little blurb from the press release…..
For his premiere solo exhibition in Miami, Michael Genovese releases a recent body of work that will include site-specific installations, sculpture, and paintings.

A Chicago native, Genovese instinctively carries a metropolitan dialect and acumen into his work. An early exposure to multiculturalism joined with his professional training as a sign painter led to a socially inspired vehicle of expression. Creating work that makes use of his technical abilities and familiarity with specific materials, Genovese’s ability to open a communal discourse ultimately became his trademark style. Through public murals and installations, his deft handling of type and unorthodox use of industrialized media further cemented his status as one of today’s most promising contemporary artists. His latest work exemplifies his focus on community and its influence, but also digs inward and begins the process of reconciling his public works with his personal journeys.

Michael Genovese has recently exhibited at the University of Texas, San Antonio, Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago and the Chicago Cultural Center. His work was recently published in New American Paintings; The Upset: Young Contemporary Art, Art Lies Contemporary Art Quarterly and Dazed and Confused.
