Graffiti in Oslo, Norway

You gotta see this old mash note from sista Carla to Mick "D-Gen" Mars of Motley Crue.

Our Kid David Adler brilliant (again) in The New Republic on whether the recent court ruling about sampling will really hurt hip-hop.

My bossman at ESPN the Mag [Web site strangely out of date] puts down the racquet and brings the racket in Turing Machine, whose fab new CD, Zwei, is like Hawkwind and Can minus the vocals---which is why I'm writing some dope rhymes for the band when it hits the District on its fall tour. Granted, Turing Machine doesn't know I'm joining them on stage yet, but I think these guys need someone to bring it suburban raggamuffin' stylee to get them to the next level. (Older MP3 of TM here from its DFA-produced debut LP and one from Zwei right hurr.)

Jeff Weaver is a bitch, and I'm all for the Cards, but I can't help but root for him (and it's not just cuz I look like dude). Once a Detroit Tigers fan/loser, always a fan/loser. Hell, I still dream about Steve Kemp.

You heard me: Paste loves the new Vanessa Carlton song, "White Houses."
--
Read it at the National Book Festival on Saturday in D.C. and then head over to the Dan Flavin retrospective at the National Gallery of Art. Least that's what I'm doing.
