One equaling one together like a croquette

Stringless Pleasure

For playas only...

Cool Hunting, a fav site of APT for all things innovative is featuring the Stringless Pleasure Stereo System this week here.

Reminds me of my uncle's stereo system back in '78...wood paneling, 8 Track, turntable deck, room for LP storage. Same look and concept here...this time, you just plug in your iPod or slide in a CD. Smooth.

Devils Haircut

The Coens and Javier Bardem (below) wrapped up at the Oscars last night. It is about time! They have been killing it forever...even that weird barber flick with Billy Bob.



Count me in as disappointed that Cate Blanchett did not lock down another statue for her turn as a svelte and spun Bob Dylan. That flick got so far under my skin it is downright scary.

Baron gets NYTimes run

Check APT favorite Baron Davis getting some press in the Sunday New York Times.

Scene sounds like APT on any given night...minus the pic of Laura Bush, of course...

Good Winter

The blog machine has been busy hyping folk stud Bon Iver. He is making his way to Portland on Monday at our beloved Space Gallery. Dr. D has been on me to give some APT love to his new favorite artist for awhile now. Think Iron & Wine and Devendra Banhart. Homeboy took up in a rural Wisconsin cabin (Ray LaMontagne style) and set about crafting some killer songs. Bring your berets, showtime is 9 pm.

8th Grade Dance Mix

Can I kick it?

Yep, you can...

King Roomie Rock just posted a new mix*.

APT recommends you put this on as you are getting ready to go out tomorrow night...

Who says the late 80's aren't dope?

You can also listen right here:

Forever Funky

Roomie hooked me onto El Michael's Affair and our soul brother over at Pagin the Devil Twice is mad for the The Dap King's. I had no idea they were linked to the same label. Allmusic connects the dots today on the modern funk you need to keep your inner big legged mama movin.
