Our favorite rapper ternt record slanga Jonny Paycheck is back again with the second half of the West Coast Underground video collection. For those who missed it Bomb Magazine founder David Paul turned up in the comments of the first for some clarification about the video’s origins. It combines footage from Bomb’s ’94 and ’95 showcases, both at SF’s DNA Lounge. However, Bomb was not involved with the release of this video, it was instead an overseas bootleg compiled by unnamed hand cam bandits (proto-flipcammers?) So now we’re bootleging the bootleggers. More Journeymen as well as clips of Mixmaster Mike, Underbombers, Urban Soul, 10 Bass T and KNT after the jump. (more…)
The existence of this video just shattered my life and swallowed my dreams. And it’s an alternate mix, no less!
3 Melancholy Gypsies “Sunsprayed” song and video, filmed in 1994 at Hamilton High in L.A. Video filmed and edited by Anacron in Video Production class. Song produced by Eligh, written and performed by Murs, Eligh, and Scarub.
Jonny Paycheck just sent over this nice youtube companion to his Mixed Practice post. It’s some old footage of Eclipse of Mixed Practice and Karma of Kemetic Suns hitting the streets of Berkeley to push their wares. Interspersed is also performance footage from Murs and DJ Vin Roc.
Jon’s got some more ill shit planned for this series in the near future. Keep your third eye open.
Last week Bfred [1]put up a pretty great overview the late 90s backpack era that had me flashing back to gortons fisherman caps and provided a self contained compilation for my ipod so I no longer have to scroll past “L-Fudge” every time I want to hear some La Monte Young. As great as it is to have CDQs of “5 Star Generals” and “Repetition” Bfred’s mix was notably lacking on the west coast side of things, featuring only a single Dilated Peoples track.[2] So to compliment I zipped up a bunch of West Coast indies from around the same era.
