With a break in the action of ‘everything’
it’s time for a new episode of Birds Who Like Pomegranate Mixed Media Music Magazine.

I’m your host, b.phlecksi parmella a.k.a Portal 369 of Emetic Landscape, a.k.a bwlp. And today’s selections get blended by dj frank niao.
The music this month comes to theme unusual times and travails in wierd media scaffolds. This month from our Digital Ends section: Featured artist, Gift Giver, as well as other West Oakland graf specialists- for this month’s slide show.

Do you ever wake up with tears on your pillow? Joy or sadness?

A compelling set of thoughts for me today,
reminds me Pearl S. Buck’s, The Big Wave, a story set in Japan after a tsunami.
Something that speaks to the constant threat of fire and quake of volcano and the unpredictable waves of sea- instilling a fearlessness around death.

life being as it is and valuing the moment.

well, here’s to a moment in time,

set listy:

b.phlecksi parmella speaky introduction, empire doing invaders, apollo brown doing bridge through time, muneshine doing two way street, roxanne shante and marley marl and kangol kid doing the roxanne roxanne phenomena explained, hymalai doing wazuhiru, lm1 doing berlin (future engineers remix), nikki minaj doing young money, phineas and ferb and candace missing out on a busting feeding frenzy, gang colors doing no clear reason, jubei doing alignment (boddika remix), world class wrecking crew doing surgery (dr. dre) the classic fo yo’ ass version from 1985, freddie joachim doing from now on, phase2 graf history interview frank niao remix, eddy meets yannah doing the bring back, intermetric doing nocow, king boom doing blue groove, solar9 featuring redeyes doing sinistar, jose james doing maide vale park bench people, souled doing kick the bucket, rainchild and empire doing metropolis, jondis doing for sake.

catch you out there at a dj boof’ near you.
peep us out.

BWLP January 2011

We were really feeling throwback this month. We talked to too many people who have a total 'good riddance' attitude about 2010. So we put some tracks together that have a timeless feel, heavy on the hip-hop but with spices of off beaten path tracks. We dip a little back with Lyrics Born- one down brother, on the real. We ran into him on the local Solano Stroll last year- he, wifey, baby- chillin' on the ave. Heavy on the NY tip too, basically because it always comes back to NY when you talk hip hop...but that's not all we added.. you can listen by clicking to the right.
But now, out major story this year was getting gaffled' by misleads on yelp or thrillist on dope spots to eat or fly gear...basically- not to diss:
But most quote, tastemakers, unquote- have got it all wrong.
For instance- I went to a spot that served local organic coffee but was spread that they did dope waffle breaded sammies for lunch and whatnot.
Heavy on the 'not'
As in the waffle machine was broken, at least 6 folks were sitting around waiting for their orders, the barrista didn't know his mocha from a hole in the ground.
I'm sayin'
I got mad expectations in a world class city like sf.
And yelp isn't much better.

Let's just put it this way- some of the illest spots will surprise you.
like this crazy nice pub across the street from the Kilowatt off 16th in the mission... where I dipped in and had the best organic soup, veggie sausage and a beer.
Don't sleep on old haunts like Zeitgeist- the manager there is so sweet pitching Sierra Nevada's latest holiday brew- which was actually the best I have ever had from them... and as far as beer goes Toronado still reigns supreme- of their out of something you used to know was good, they'll serve you something better than you imagined.

I'm as much to fault as anyone else though. GTFOH.... just walk, see what piques your interest, let your nose lead you too what smells right.
And, you'll be OK.

Now listen to this month's podcast!
(to catch the vibe around here while we prep for a potential NYE plan, have you some potato salad w/ bbq sauce, 7&7 and a peanut butter chocolate chip cookie- so hood!)


set list:
bwlp doin’ the talkie introduction, xmas card by begin, peace from the riddler by actual proof, rockin’ da house by dash & santos, coulda woulda shoulda by lyrics born, redman speaking on the state of def jam today, dawn from team anigma, bwlp doin’ girl first, lengualerta doin’ tu nombre, artifacts’ & ‘mad’ skillz dynamite soul remix, joell ortiz doin’ hip hop, skyzoo doing a skyzoo acapella joint, bwlp doing dimeword revival, talib kweli doin’ how you love me, schoolboy q- kendrick lamar- curtains doin’ live again, shing shing regime doing queen of the last monarchy, scotch davis doin’ welcome 2 skilla, syllables by eminem- jay z- cashis- dre- 50 cent- and stat quo, someday (remix) by talib kweli ft. torae & john robinson, en why cee by jugganot ft. joell ortiz & uncle murda, glennes proof by bwlp 11’, young kano the truth ft. chamillionaire doin’ leanin, actual proof doin’ the look, and closing out all this with lyrics born ft. francis the lights doin’ something better.
