    I have been keeping a photblog at photos.jakesnewblog.com for a couple of months. At first I really liked it. I liked making the photos show up 1000px wide, and all that jazz. But I really haven’t been feeling it lately. So I have decided to totally abandon the daily photoblog, for a quick and dirty…

    Chico Science & Nação Zumbi, is a Brazilian rock/funk/hip-hop-outfit. Chico Science was the point man of Nação Zumbi until he was killed in the late 90’s by a drunk driver. He was the creative force behind the music. Even the album artwork was heavily influence by Chico. The image of a crap appears on almost…

    If  you read Wired, then you probably already saw this thing. I thought it was so cool that I wanted to share it. The photo is of the “living wall” on the  Athenaeum Hotel in London. This wall is one of the several architectural/gardening hybrid creations by Patrick Blanc. The wall is covered with felt…

    Last night Common played a show on Bower at Capitale. It was to promote a new Diesel fragrance. I’m sure that if you read magazines, you have seen the ads. Anyway, I was shooting the red carpet for SoJones. It worked out well, since Reagan had a girls night, tonight. It was the first time…

    7L and Esoteric are a hip hop group out of Boston.  They rhyme about Jamie Lee Curtis and Wookies. I like them. Here is Feudal Lords (feat. Nejel Mongrel) (be forewarned, it has the “s” word).

    This shot comes from Jef Aerosol’s Flickr (who is also apparently the artist). I cracked up, when I first saw this shot. I love the way that Brando is totally straight faced. I also like it because Reagan and I are such fans of Vespas. I can’t tell if this is painted or wheatpaste. Either…

    This one comes to us from Bigbozo’s flickr. It is in his South Wales collection. It is unclear who the artist is. But I’m totally digging this Audrey stencil.

    As with probably half, or even more than half of my generation, one of my all-time favorite rock bands is Nirvana. There is nothing that I can write about them that hasn’t already been written 1000 times over. The song that I’m sharing from them, is not actually a Nirvana, song. It was actually written…

    Once again this comes by way of Wooster, from Traseone. Mini shadow skater stencils. Sick.

    I had kind of forgotten about these guys, until one of my old homies from HS brought them up on FB. So, thanks, Mike! I first heard of Digable Planets on a compilation album that I picked up for free at this record shop I used to work out. The compilation is called “Jazzafunkapyschadelic.” It’s…
