Uranium-235 Thorlos

While watching episode seven of this season's The Wire - beholding Clay Davis' best act soliloquy abt. furnishing "puff jackets for dem that got children in need" --minds immediately shift to new age Rhodium Fronts (shit is more accessible w/ Gold price @ $1,000/troy oz.).



With Gold Fronts (and thorlo sock isotopes) on the mental lentil, thoughts of NY's most fabled municipal insitution then arise. When we think of the NYCHA, we think of dudes donning pythons round the neck - GUESS? down to the ankle cut wigwams. So if I'm being nostalgic, I meant to be. As disc0 rave-infused madness envelopes all the music cognescenti from Woodlawn to New Lots (Kid Cudi is kinda that dude though), I wanna remember a quickly-forgotten late 90s act: The Dead. Pure boom-bap. Plaza to Baisley Park - Edenwald to Sumner - Wyckoff Garden to Taft. Only available on vinyl @ Rock&Soul, circa '97. I challenge the most dusty fingered excavater to locate a copy. The public housing anthem has never been more resonant. Ayres was kind enough to post an mpfree via The Hollerboard.
