No Sleep NYC Nightlife Flyers 1988-1999 By DJ Stretch Armstrong and Evan Auerbach Introduction by Mark Ronson Pre-Order Available Now   No Sleep  is a visual history of the halcyon days of New York City club life as told through flyer art. Spanning the late 80s through the late 90s, when nightlife buzz travelled via flyers and word of mouth,  No Sleep  features a collection of artwork from the personal archives of NYC DJs, promoters, club kids, nightlife impresarios, and the artists themselves. Club flyers, by design, were ephemeral objects distributed on street corners, outside of nightclubs and concert halls, in barbershops and retail shops, and were not intended to be preserved for posterity. Through the 90s, they became both increasingly prevalent and more sophisticated as printing technology evolved. Overnight, however, with the advent of the internet, the flyer essentially disappeared, despite it being common at one time for promoters to print thousands...

by  Kevin Melrose in  Comic News ,  Movie News     AT&T is reportedly in advanced talks to purchase Time Warner, the media conglomerate that owns Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment. Bloomberg, which broke the news on Thursday, now reports  discussions have accelerated  in hopes of reaching an agreement by Monday to close the door on other possible buyers, such as Apple or Google. The potential merger is already being compared to Comcast’s 2011 purchase of NBCUniversal, in terms of combining content and distribution. A telecommunications giant, the Dallas-based AT&T bought DirecTV last year for $50 billion, becoming the nation’s largest pay-TV service. A deal, which would have to meet with the approval of federal regulators, would give AT&T control of not only DC Entertainment and Warner Bros.’ film, television and interactive units, but also Hanna-Barbera Productions and cable networks like HBO, CNN and Cartoon Network. In addition, Time Warner jointly...

2016 marks the 50th anniversary for Jamaica's celebrated musical genre rock steady. Rock steady, which was a successor of ska and precursor to reggae, used elements of rhythm and blues (R&B), jazz, ska as well as African and Latin American drumming. With its irresistible slow tempo beat and more bass-heavy, stripped-down sound, it was a distinct contrast from the more upbeat, big band ska era. Although it lasted only a couple of years (1966-68), rock steady is one of Jamaican music's most influential genres and produced immortal rhythms that are still sampled and used today.   17 North Parade,  VP Records' vintage imprint, commemorates the genre this year with  First Class Rock Steady.  The 12" double vinyl edition is available  this Fri. (Sept 30)  and   follows its 40-track CD and digital companion box set  (released on  July 1 ) as well as the 7" limited edition vinyl piece exclusive for Record Store Day 2016.   This new collection of First Class Rock Steady is completely...

Credit TMZ.com   The Game  is going after  Meek Mill  with some serious threats in a new diss track ... telling Meek to watch his back, letting him know he's gonna have sex with  Nicki Minaj . Game dropped " 92 Bars " Friday morning ... which possibly explains why he started going HAM on Meek Thursday night in a Miami nightclub, calling him out as a snitch. Check out the song -- the reference to his "pool stick" and Nicki is an instant classic ... as diss tracks go, anyway. Game also reveals one of the 3 Kardashians he says he's banged. It's a little disappointing. As we first reported, Game's entourage was  the target of a drive-by  shooting outside the Fontainebleau Hotel ... after the nightclub gig. There's no evidence whatsoever connecting Meek to the shooting. For what it's worth ...  Game's old nemesis ,  Stiches , is now...

  » by Patrice Nelson Aug 31 2016, 10:22am Share This Tweet This Email This Political clown Donald Trump visiting Mexico as he nears towards giving a long-awaited speech on his immigration policies. Many Americans want him to stay there.   Trump shared the news via Twitter. I have accepted the invitation of President Enrique Pena Nieto, of Mexico, and look very much forward to meeting him tomorrow. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 31, 2016 CNN reported that the “Mexican President confirmed in a tweet late Tuesday night that Trump had accepted Peña Nieto’s invitation and that the two will meet privately.” The meeting is interesting seeing as how much of Trump ‘s campaign has been built on his promise to “build a wall” to keep illegal immigrants from entering the country. With Trump set to visit, many are hoping that he stays there or gets stuck there. Especially since El...

  Shout out to Netflix for doing the obvious. Hit sci-fi series Stranger Things has been officially picked up for a second season, and it already has a new trailer.  Stranger Things is set in 1983 and is a supernatural horror series that made for some addictive binge watching. Think: The X-Files meets The Goonies along with all types of 80’s fright movie references. And Eggos. A second season was a no-brainer considering how the eight episode first season concluded (no spoilers here). In the trailer, we hear the now familiar opening credit music and get the titles of its nine episodes. If you haven’t seen the first season yet, get your life together. Season 2 will premiere in 2017 and according to Variety , they’ve already been shooting episodes. Watch the teaser trailer below. — Photo: screen cap Comments: 0 Tags: netflix , stranger things Views: 1 Share This Tweet This...

DJ Khaled’s appearance at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards was a big one as he hosted the pre-show ceremonies and acted as a correspondent for the main event. However, the sharply dressed DJ’s wardrobe was called into question. Khaled was spotted what looked to be a silk jacket made by luxury brand Goyard which is currently a favorite among rich rappers. In case you and your bank account are unfamiliar, it’s the company that makes the stuff with the “Y” all over it. Anyways. Khaled was spotted at the VMAs and at afterparties wearing this.
