Fund This: DJ Qbert's Extraterrestria

The much-anticipated new album from the legendary DJ Qbert



Awwwww yeah. The legendary DJ Qbert has been hard at work on not one, but two new albums, Extraterrestria and Galaxxxian, and he's launched Kickstarter to deliver them from the cosmos.

Extraterrestria is the turntable deity's much-anticipated follow up to his groundbreaking debut album and feature film Wave Twisters. The album features Qbert's signature skratching, plus contributions from the likes of cellist and trombonist Dana Leong, super producer Chad Hugo and DrunkTronica duo Tipsy. It's described as "a wide collection of various types of music from other planets and dimensions from around the galaxy."

The second record, Galaxxxian, is a compilation featuring DJ Qbert's skratching paired with an incredible roster of talented emcees, including Kool Keith, Del The Funkyhomosapien, Bambu, Soul Khan, Mr.Lif, El-P, Madchild, DZK, Roscoe Umali, Tassho Pearce, The FMD & Z-Man.

asian american "manhood" poster series for sale

A couple of weeks ago, I posted a link about the "Manhood" poster series by artist Deborah Enrile Lao. The posters celebrate Asian American masculinity, with minimalist depictions of five different Asian American icons: George Takei, Richard Aoki, Bruce Lee, DJ QBert and Jeremy Lin.

Pretty cool. A lot of folks asked how they could get these posters up on their walls. Deborah Lao recently made the posters available for purchase Etsy, at $50.00 per 17" x 22.5" print, or you can get all five for $225.00.

Collect them all! I seriously want to order all five, but I don't think I actually have enough wall space. They might have to go on the ceiling. For more information about Deborah Enrile Lao and her work, visit her website here.
