Ice Cube Celebrates The Eames (by pacificstandardtime)
Ice Cube discussing L.A. architecture, especially the Eames home design of the mid twentieth century.
There are a couple quoteables, such as:
“The 110? Ha! That’s gangsta traffic right there!”
and
“That’s going green 1949-style, bitch.”
Also, that’s some really cool design. I learned a lot about that stuff this summer, freelancing for an architecture magazine.

JULY HEAT
since it’s hot as a fat man’s crotch out there, i thought i’d post a link to ‘july heat,’ a beat tape by flying lotus. it’s more dilla hip-hop than his recent stuff. sounds good on the train when the sun’s coming up.
the edge - david axelrod
this is best-known as ‘the song that dr. dre sampled for ‘the next episode.”
david axelrod is an l.a. producer and arranger who worked with lou rawls and cannonball adderly. he had a solo career starting in the late ’60s with two albums that were tributes to the romantic poet william blake, who is referenced in the jim jarmusch movie ‘dead man.’ axelrod’s music is like loungey big band jazz with strings and cinematic bombast. case in point, this song. if you want to hear more, i suggest checking out the album ‘songs of innocence.’
