Filthy





McNasty and TD are two of the best in the game...however, McNasty must have went at TD last night at least a dozen times and scored EVERY TIME. Lots of love for Kobe at APT right now, but what can you say? The guy is the best and we give it up for the best...



Thank god these two were there last night...collab album coming out this fall...

Kobe Can Jump!

Kobe Bryant is the best player in the NBA. He has the Lakes up 3-1 in their series with the Spurs. For a baller, he is the King. Sorry LeBron.

And now...he has the most fiercly silly-hat tip to Indiana Jones-I can't believe he is rolling with those dudes from Jackass-PETA is gonna boycott your ass-awesome viral Nike commercial ever.

Check it!

The Reverend Returns

The Celtics are not the only GREEN that gets my heart jumping.

Big Al is back in a major way with some help from APT legend Questlove. The new disc is jumping and the website is serious. Check it here.

While you save your pennies to pick up the full length, let APT take you back. Enjoy these slick old grooves. Can I get a witness!

California Pop

Matt Costa arrives on the APT airwaves via Huntington Beach, CA. His first love was skateboarding...



... but a mashed leg crushed his hopes of going pro, and he seriously dedicated his life to music. He owes thanks to pals No Doubt and Jack Johnson for helping him along.

Check him here live on KCRW. Take a peek under recent shows. And check him here. He will be appearing in Montreal this summer at Osheaga, along with W2 fav The Weakerthans, El Man fav Broken Social Scene, and Roomie fav Chromeo. Roadtrip anyone?

The mood was light at APT last night despite a shakey showing from the hometown team. To facilate conversation and keep the mind limber, the drink of the summer was on full display. Like dutifull ayurvedic practicioners, we feel it necessary for our dietary intake and self care to be connected with the changing season. Enter the loaded cerveza.

Begin with a fine mexican beer.



Take a liberal pull to make space for a chilled shot of Hornitos.



Add lime and stir. This drink comes Dr. recommended and APT tested. A word of caution, strange references to bad TV and film may follow. Case in point...



Quote of the night..."That Airwolf chopper sure had some sick features man."

Game 2, ECF, recap...

The Pistons have been know to phone it in, but when they play well, they look better than any team you've ever seen before...


This is the Pablo I know...PP dropped 26 but made this face more than once Thursday...


It was nice to see this guy put up more than 4 points, but it did not quite cut it because...



...of these two. Mc D with another great effor AND Hot Rod turned on the gas as well...


"Honey, just sit on my lap."
"Ok."

Mission of Burma

The situation in Burma is dire (leader Than Shwe is number three on Parades World's Worst List). The Us Campaign for Burma could use your help...and who better to ask for it than noted humanitarian Sylvester Stallone.

...B-Check looking for his seat...18-1 motherfu*ker...

My Chicago Bulls caught the number 1 pick last night in the NBA Draft Lottery...they had a 1.7% chance of scoring this thing...less then the Cubs have of winning a world series at this point.
Choose wisely...

Pablo Pierce - 41 Pts, 4 Reb, 5 Ast



Do you want him on your team? Yesterday you might have...

The most disagreed upon NBA player in APT history had the game of his career yesterday afternoon in Bean-town. So, big ups from Roomie to Paul and crew for gettin' it done against the LeBronaliers.

And as always, Boston's finest were in attendance...


Smile Don! You're sitting courtside at game 7 for godsakes!


His Brazilian hoochie put the wrong hat on him again. Which begs the question...who is more overrated, this guy or his girlfriend? (Only kidding...)

Just for fun...we'll take a vote...do I even need to say "click for larger"?

B or...

...G?

Neither make "the wall" at APT, but either way, Tommy's got his hands full!

Switch!



No we are not talkin about the Fresh Prince's 2005 candy gram banger. This is the Maine Switch. A local, feel good, lifestyle weekly in Portland Maine.

APT family member and scribe B Ray has been lockin it down since day one. The girl has street cred. She is a graduate of the Sweet Valley High Ghost Writer University. Hell yeah! Think Rhodes Scholar meets lip gloss.



Recently she has been highlighting the work of some of APT's finest in her column entitled, Success Stories. Check articles about MAV and APT's version of Batman and Robin.

"This One Goes Out To All the Baby's Mamas..."

Brace yourself friends of APT. On this merry Mother's Day, prepare to have your bellies decimated by laughter. These joints come by way of India's famed Bollywood (I think), supported by the ridiculous renderings of internet mysterio Buffalax; add ice and stir. Julie Kuceris of Four Walls Gallery gets all due thank-props for unearthing these tasty morsels.

...the grindhouse boys are gonna have a rough one without this cat...

...if this injury sticks and Turk and crew can handle the Pistons in 7 games, expect to see a sweep by Bean-Town in the Leastern Conferece Finals...
