Morally unfit

I have been accused of questionable decision making. Convincing my sister to moon passing cars at the age of four, liberating various items of amusement while being tilted on my axis, voting for third party candidates, and so on. The latest allegations of wrong doing are from my pal who thinks I should have paid something for Radiohead's latest release, In Rainbows. Dude, it is free.

How you gonna deal with this comedy team?

Do we even need words for this pic? Between the 4 of them, they've probably put up 20,000 shots this year...12,000 of the coming from Crawford.



I think Eddie could eat a small person...



Legit.

And let's not forget...



Homeboy is averaging a double double since arriving in NYC.

Don forget the old days.

Celts and NY Knicks...two of the best unis in all of sports.

Road Trip

Christmas comes early. The kids from APT are loading up the family station wagon for their first live glimpse of the Celtic's three headed monster. The question isn't whether Boston will beat New York, but will Knick Coach Isiah Thomas keep his hands to himself when he sees APT's fly ladies in the house?

APT Flick of the Week

Le Cercle Rouge
Paris, 1970...3 crooks and a cop. If you are into films from this era...great cars, great clothes and a killer mustache worn by the lead, Corey (Alain Delon)...then Le Cercle Rouge is a must.

Check this scene...dope.

Say Hello To My Friend...

Hmmm...what is going on here, you might ask? Pele? Brazil? A post from someone other than the mighty King Roomie? That's right, y'all...please welcome APT's newest contributor, W2.

W2's interests include snowboarding, reggae and as much "peripheral debris" as possible. For a physical description, please see photo above (courtesy of Scot Pollard).

Time to pimp this blog out...

An Agreement Among Friends

Some time ago, a pact was made by several APTers that if the World Cup was ever held in Brazil, then we would go...wives, dogs, loved ones, jobs, and money be damned! Enjoy this rendering of Brazilian soccer legend Pele, by Prettyinpunk008 with artist Jeremy Fisher. Save your pennies kids, 2014 is right around the corner.

Best Crunk beat I've heard...

APT is feeling this. Crime Mob...who are these guys? I love how simple the video is too...

Always worth a look...

I don't even really like this song, but what a great performance...

APT Actress Spotlight

Juliette Binoche has always been a favorite here at APT. Most folks will recognize her from the American joints she's been in. However, homegirl had a nice little career over the pond well before The English Patient came out.

When this frenchie smiles, something happens.

Blue is certainly one of her best, but Les Amants du Pont-Neuf is right behind. Both are worth checking out.


Blue

Les Amants du Pont-Neuf

Turk and Stan Van

APT does not like to talk smack OR do two NBA related posts in a row, but one team got their Thanksgiving turkey served early by my man Turk last night. Thank god this guy is back. Get your spray tan on.
Miami at Orlando this Saturday, y'all...

Chicago Bulls are 1-6

The Chicago Bulls are 1-6. Is it panic time? You live by the jumper, you die by the jumper. Time to get Pau Gasol or Jermaine O'Neil on the horn asap.
A few of the crew at APT is down today. However, when this happens, the vid above helps lift some spirits.
Chicago Stadium in '89...please. Don't front...

APT Actor Spotlight

Bob Hoskins is one of APT's favorite actors as of late. You might know him from Roger Rabbit, but the real deal are his films from Britain in the 80's. Homeboy is like Edward G. Robinson and James Cagney rolled into one...lovable, charismatic, scary, intense and real. Check out two of his BEST films below. Little man got game.



The Long Good Friday


Mona Lisa

Simply Breakfast

Aside from flapjacks, doughnuts are an APT breakfast staple. Check Jen @ Simply Breakfast. Girl knows what 'the most important meal of the day' is all about. Jam, toast, Puffins, omelets...give those Lucky Charms a rest, my friends. These photos are how the crew at APT start their day off every morn...if you skip breakfast, then you dear reader, are not down.

(Click here to see what King Roomie Rock includes in his weekly fryups for the crew at APT. WHAT!!! So good it makes us FEEL British...)

DJ Ayers Vinyl Mix

King Roomie Rock spins VINYL ONLY at APT. Check my man Ayers'new vinyl mix here. You can also see him keep the party live here. Long live wax.

All Souled Out - Special Edition Post From APT

Hova

Nas

APT is FEELING this. Check these two vids from NYCs finest. Raw soul is hard to come by these days, but these two hall of famers still know how to get it done.

Eggbeater...talkin' that food stuff

Check Shauna on Eggbeater for some honest food spiel. This right here has got to be the BEES KNEES.

Coffee

ATP loves coffee. No Starcraps, Dunkin Doughnuts...that stuff is wack, jack. APT also has big love for the West Coast P. This coffee is brewed there and it is some of the best we've had. Check it.

(Thanks to Shuna Fish Lydon for the photo. Check her blog here and see more of her photos here.)

APT Flick of the Week

Really good...

This was not so good. However, the crew from APT just waited for E Blunt to show up onscreen and we were ALL good...

Lady Soul

Alice Russell got pipes like Chaka. Her releases can be found on Brighton's Tru Thoughts label (which has lots of great artists worth checking out). Girl sings soul, gospel, freaks some electronica grooves and even covers The White Stripes. End the curiosity and just mellow out to this.

Kicks

Off court.

On court.


Tretorn has been making tennis shoes in Europe since the late 19th century, even before you ever heard of a Chuck Taylor.The Nike Air Force 1 is one of the greatest basketball shoes ever made. Both APT picks here are pure dopeness.

Get Whipped, y'all...an APT food Tip

We at APT LOVE food. Check my girl C on Whipped. "Whipped" you say? Sounds, I don't know...kinky. Mos def. You couldn't be more right...just look at the cake above. Tell me you don't want to eat the whole thing, espresso on the side, with your lady or your man? I think you know what APT is talkin bout...
These recipes and overall general food love are as good as it gets. Peep "What Portland, Maine had in Store" and if you dig coffee (like APT REALLY does) check "Seeking Coffee Guidance".

Meet Christine

If you've ever had the chance to stop over for a visit at APT, you'll know the vibe over here is chill. For the last year, Christine has been providing the soundtrack. A DJ out of DC, you can find out what she's all about here.

She's numero uno in our book, she should at the very least be IN yours...
