Ruedi one's BackFlashes Book!!!!

for years ruedione was an active graffiti writer himself and the documentation of his works led him to photography. he says that passion, obsession and even addiction connects him to the medium these days and by now he exclusively uses the camera for his works. for almost a decade, he has been documenting the writers` scene and has thus remained part of it as its visual chronicler. it makes the viewer feel what graffiti is about on the emotional side.

the images show all the tension, the adrenalin and the kicks that graffiti writers experience.

a visual expedition into a world that usually is restricted to the members of a very small scene. his photos show the active graffiti scene worldwide, may it be new york city, sao paulo or hamburg. in his series, documentary photography that creates contemporary documents meets abstract snapshots that are distinguished by their independent aesthetics. these images give the viewer an insight into an usually hidden scene.

his intention is to visualize and preserve the moments that kept him writing his name on a lot of surfaces for years, in a way that shows rather the emotions than the places and persons.

ruedione was born in heidelberg, germany in 1975.

My words to this book is a must have on your coffee table! I lived graff for twelve years of my life and still till this day will bust a tag or paint a fright with fellow crew members. I am a total adrenalin junky and looking at these pics and reading a bit of the book this totally reminds me of the life style I lived. Going out w/ crew members 3 to 4 the most staying up and watching yards till the late hours waiting up to four hours just to paint a fresh panal. Once you done get your flick and attempt to watch that bad boy run there is no other feeling people. My best times were when I was doing roof tops at 3am and seeing the train pass everytime sure do miss them days!!!!!

DJ Finds Out Charles Manson Is His Dad!!!!!!!!!

A Los Angeles man who works as a DJ and grew up as an adopted child in the Midwest recently revealed that his father is convicted killer Charles Manson, who, along with his "Manson Family" followers terrorized L.A. 40 years ago.

Matthew Roberts, 41, told the U.K.'s Sun newspaper that he tracked down his mother who told him she was a Manson follower in 1967 when the killer raped her. He was born the next year. Roberts has since exchanged letters with his father, who is 75 and still in state prison. He says dear old dad signs off his correspondence with a swastika.

The DJ says he first began his journey to track down his real parents 12 years ago. His adoptive parents discouraged it, but he wanted to know more. Roberts says he has a '60s spirit, unlike the conservative values of his Midwestern family.

When he tracked down his biological mother and she finally fessed up about his father's identity, Roberts says she told him, "You look just like him."

"If I get worked up, my eyes get really big and that's really freaked some people out before," Roberts says. "I've tried to tone that down quite a bit. I don't like having that effect on people."

He says he worships Ghandi and that "I don't even kill bugs."

My take on this is WTF, if I found out that my father was Manson and that I looked like him I will be freaking the fuck out. Luckly he didn't since he is the opposite of his dad more power to him, but 60% off time most people that are serial killers and that do have children have some type of symptoms to those of there father or mother!!!!

YO for all you fans of baseballl this shh is for you !!!

Ellis pitched a no-hitter against the San Diego Padres on June 12, 1970 despite being, as he would claim in 1984, under the influence of LSD throughout the course of the game.[1] Ellis had been visiting friends in Los Angeles under the impression he had the day off and was still high when his girlfriend told him he had to pitch a game against the Padres that night. Ellis boarded a shuttle flight to the ballpark and threw a no-hitter despite not being able to feel the ball or clearly see the batter or catcher. Ellis claims catcher Jerry May wore reflective tape on his fingers which helped Ellis to see his target. Ellis walked eight, struck out six, and was aided by excellent fielding plays by second baseman Bill Mazeroski and center fielder Matty Alou.[2] During the game, Ellis is reported to have commented to his teammates on the bench between innings that he was pitching a no-hitter, despite the superstition that discourages mentioning a no-hitter while it is in progress. Because the no-hitter was the first game of a double header, Ellis was forced to keep track of the pitch count for the night game.[3]
As Ellis recounted it:
"I can only remember bits and pieces of the game. I was psyched. I had a feeling of euphoria. I was zeroed in on the (catcher's) glove, but I didn't hit the glove too much. I remember hitting a couple of batters and the bases were loaded two or three times. The ball was small sometimes, the ball was large sometimes, sometimes I saw the catcher, sometimes I didn't. Sometimes I tried to stare the hitter down and throw while I was looking at him. I chewed my gum until it turned to powder. I started having a crazy idea in the fourth inning that Richard Nixon was the home plate umpire, and once I thought I was pitching a baseball to Jimi Hendrix, who to me was holding a guitar and swinging it over the plate. They say I had about three to four fielding chances. I remember diving out of the way of a ball I thought was a line drive. I jumped, but the ball wasn't hit hard and never reached me."[4]
The incident inspired the songs "Dock Ellis" by indie rock singer Barbara Manning, "America's Favorite Pastime" by folk singer Todd Snider, "Dock Ellis No-No" by Chuck Brodsky, and "LSD (The Ballad of Doc Ellis)" by Boston rock band Random Road Mother.

J.BOOGIE


San Francisco resident DJ/producer J-Boogie has challenged the boundaries of the music world across genres, styles, languages and borders throughout his 15-year career. He speaks to listeners through a diverse musical language, integrating musical genres like hip–hop, dub, soul, reggae, funk, Latin, afro-beat, bhangra, dancehall, disco, downtempo, electro and house.

Throughout his career, J-Boogie has delivered a mix up of culture, soul, rhythm and beats both at home in the Bay Area and around the globe. Through his radio program “Beatsauce” on KUSF and his presence in the club and festival scene, J-Boogie’s local success has earned him awards such as "San Francisco’s Best Radio & Club DJ" by citysearch.com and "Best Hip–Hop Radio Show" by SF Bay Guardian. J-Boogie has also earned himself world wide success and a global fan base spinning DJ sets in countries like Colombia, India, Japan, and Spain.

By popular demand, J-Boogie’s DJ skills have landed him bookings in top notch clubs around the globe such as APT, Turntables on the Hudson, ESL, Five, Halo, Temple Bar, Afro Funke, Root Down, Firecracker, The Do Over and Sonar. He has also graced the stage on tour with Widespread Panic, Bassnectar and Spearhead, and has opened for legends like Breakestra, RJD2, PPP, Nickodemus and George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic. Throughout the years, J-Boogie has been providing musical ecstasy for millions, blowing it up on the festival circuit at Bumbershoot, SXSW, WMC, Harmony Fest, Earthdance, Power to the Peaceful, New Kingdom and Burning Man.

As the first DJ ever to incorporate musicians and vocalists into a live band/DJ fusion set, J-Boogie has truly re-defined the concept of what it is to be a DJ. With this groundbreaking concept J-Boogie has been able to create a new realm of live performance and a new type of record. J-Boogie brings this style to life with his band “Dubtronic Science” in live sets as well as in their self titled debut album that dropped in 2003, featuring artists like Goapele, Gina Rene, People Under the Stairs, Capital A and Tony Moses.

For his new album, Soul Vibrations, J-Boogie has put together a new “Dubtronic Science” band featuring a horn section, Latin percussionists and MC’s. Like its predecessor, J-Boogie’s second album features an impressive line up of artists including The Rebirth, Rich Medina, Lyrics Born, Ohmega Watts, Zion I, Crown City Rockers, Jennifer Johns, Deuce Eclipse, Capitol A, The Mamaz, Jazz Mafia, Lunar Heights, Jrod Indigo, Tony Moses and more.

J-Boogie has also contributed his sounds to a wide array of mix tapes, remixes, and compilations. He has released several remixes for artists such as DJ Vadim, Miguel Migs, Karsh Kale, The Rebirth, Zeph & Azeem, Mark Farina, and Soulstice as well as being featured on Mark Farina’s Mushroom Jazz 5 & 6, Om Lounge series, Ubiquity compilations and remix projects. J-Boogie’s widespread success and longevity in the music industry can be attributed to his one of a kind style and his ability to constantly revolutionize music, always staying current and keeping fans, and fellow musicians alike, wanting more.
