This Is Book’s Music

Preach Jacobs has been creating music for a few years, touring across the U.S. and making it to Japan on a recent trip. He now has an online magazine he is developing called Mo’ Betta Soul, featuring hip-hop, soul, funk, jazz, and any of Jacobs’ personal interests (a photo essay is linked to on the front page).

I discovered this on Twitter, a blog simply called Curtis Collects Vinyl Records, over at Blogspot. It’s by a music fan named Curtis Linder, who simply loves records and wants to share his discoveries with readers.

If you live outside of the Pacific Northwest, you may not think of this area as a hotbed of graffiti. However, look at any abandoned wall, public transportation, bridges, or all of the trains one can find on our railways, and you’ll see it. Now there’s a website that will highlight the art of these graf artists, called NWGraffiti.com.

The website hopes to not only highlight these pieces, but to also discuss the work amongst admirers and its creators. They are currently looking for any and all user feedback, including photo contributions, so take a look and make yourself feel at home.

She likes pie, what more can you say, Tap Billyng? To Olivia Munn: I want to be your fatty.

If you want to look into how certain record collectors and DJ’s got their love for vinyl, interviews with various members of The State, or some photo exhibits, take a look at DJ Sorce-1‘s blog called Heavy In The Streets. The blog features links to some of the other articles and work he has done for other websites.
