The Great Adventures Of Darrell D.
Phoenix Bike Co. Swap Meet Recap
I've never done a bike show before but all I have to say is I can't wait to do it again! This show was non-stop energy and I want to thank James and Wuan from Phoenix Bike Company for inviting me to this special event and also Todd and Serg form Crates Records for letting me rock on their stage.
The Together Brothers Are Back
Another funky flier from the birthplace of hip-hop. I bought this from a fellow collector a few years back and had to have it because my name is on it,(sort of...). I'm not sure what year this is from but I'm guessing early 80's. I love the raw amateur(ish) style of these old fliers and it's easy to see why they are sought after by so many. Not sure what type of value this one has but I guess it doesn't really matter because I don't plan on parting with it.
Funk Friday at Crates Records & Gear
I'm bringin them funk joints to Crates Records Friday night
Funk party. Phoenix finally has a records store that's all about the culture. They also have a recording studio, barber shop, and art gallery. Nestled in Sunnyslope, come down and party with us.

Goodbye Belle
Having a mixtape collection of about 2000 or so, it's clear to see that i'm a fan of cassettes. I love finding blank tapes even though I don't use them much these days. I recently found a real nice little batch of different cassettes that looked like they came from someone's personal collection but I can't be sure. They sat around for months and I finally got around to looking through them. They included some rare rock live concert bootlegs, some rap stuff, some alternative and soft rock joints, and shockingly, some nyc dj mixtapes. Now for me, mixtapes have always been about dj's rocking 2 turntables and some rap, R & B, or House vinyl, but mixtapes in the "white" community often refer to a "mix" or "mixture" of songs opposed to an actual "blend" tape. Ok, cool. I pulled out one tape in particular to find this written on the inside of the j card.
I'm way too familiar with getting dumped on by chics in the past and couldn't help but feel this anonymous guys pain. Ok, I can't front, reading this kinda pissed me off. Yo Belle, unless this is a suicide note, you suck. Is this guy really supposed to think, "Oh, how nice! A "break-up" tape". I'm sure you thought it was a good idea to send this guy off with a few "tunes" while you ride off into the sunset with your new hunk. If I ever see you Belle, I will not break if you are in the cross-walk.
