I’m not sure who STS is, but this song is pretty good. It’s from his forthcoming mixtape, Demand More 2.

Teen Angels Magazine features prison art, pen pal requests, and photographs of women. I bought issue number 226 at a small sidewalk newsstand in downtown L.A. The collage-style pencil drawing featured on the cover depicts several symbols and images related to Chicano street culture.

Barlowe’s Guide to Extraterrestrials
Authors: Wayne Douglas Barlowe & Ian Summers
Publication Date: 1979

I picked up this copy of Barlowe’s Guide to Extraterrestrials at the now defunct Acres of Books in Long Beach. Wayne Barlowe is a renowned science fiction and fantasy illustrator who conceptualized this alien guidebook during the late seventies. In addition to the 150 full-color paintings featured throughout the book, Barlowe also includes detailed physical and cultural information regarding each represented species. The aliens depicted in Barlowe’s guide were culled from various science fiction novels.

Sid Roams – Zombie Musik (2009) Dirt Class Records
www.dirtclass.com

Zombie Musik, an instrumental album by production duo Sid Roams, is now available on iTunes after being released late last year to select retailers.  In addition to exclusive material, Zombie Musik features several instrumentals from Prodigy’s H.N.I.C. 2, as well as a few beats used by Evidence and Big Twins. More synth-heavy and foreboding than the duo’s previous beat compilations, the 27 tracks on Zombie Musik keep the mood tense without slipping into redundancy.
