[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]I think working with a lot of different artists is wise. Musicians are beautiful artistically generous human beings that bring out different sides of us. Sewing Machines lived in Chicago very briefly and I wrote about them before. This is a track we did last summer. I loved it so much that I felt the need to share it. Enjoy.

Busy in the studio recording the second album. Unlike politicians who let banks slide for fucking our lives up forever.
For all those that have not yet purchased my album “Poverty In Color” I have lowered the price from $9 to $1. Which is asking for almost nothing. I really want everyone to have this album because I wrote it with the true spirit of people in mind. I hope this encourages you. Thank you to all my fans who have shown me nothing but love and support.

Let it be known!
All I really want is a stage to rock a set on. Working with and for people with enough respect to let me and fellow artist do so. Theres no reason why DJ Mar and I should spend a close to a month refining a set only to have it given to a drunk band (I use the term loosely) of people who showed up late, drank way too much, and didn’t practice or prepare shit.It was a slap in the face to see my and other peoples time wasted like that. .I don’t need excuses I need shows to help propel quality art forward, while preserving the culture I have loved since I was a child. And I don’t need people telling me or anyone else to calm down. Come correct or FUCK OFF
Loomis
They cackle at night under their ancestors moon
Neo-native hair cuts separate the urban tribes
They scatter like rain
Yelling secrets and hitting bottles with white noise lips
Pouring liquor on thirsty streets
feeding cigarette clouds in alleyway circles
Herbal grasses strangled by Mexican Brick weed
The new social lepers rise at Dusk
and Hunt for life
These are Daley’s little Indios
Chicago Police department punching bags
Crooked Cop investment bankers
Prison state spanglish speakers
Happily flirting with deathCourt Dates with Divison 9
Tattoed and tattered
Fatherless while fathering
who live in cages
and at the end of pointed fingers
who remind me
It’s safe to make sandwiches
Until they say so
Howl Children
18th St.
lined with
in·dig·e·nous
math
rusting in Chicago Rain
This is my childhood
The Sidewalks
cry in Spanish
The Devil Owns a
Condo on Halsted and Cullerton
He waves politely from the cafe window
when our eyes cross paths
I return the wave
out of fear
My mother might hear
I was rude in the company of adults
This is my Culture
Giant Empty Churches
Consuming viejitas by the building
Sunday Mornings
roaring in bells
waking the murals
Mothers praying for their mestizo children
Fathers Mourning
covered in cologne
and the shirts bearing their fathers names
The new anglo ships
sit singed
docked and ready to conquer again
Pilsen sings her songs
and cleans her floors
Al Gore’s surprising split from wife Tipper was prompted by an affair he was having with Larry David’s environmental activist wife, Star magazine reports. The tabloid weekly says the environment-friendly ex-veep and the comedian’s ex have been involved for two years. Laurie David is an outspoken Hollywood environmentalist and a trustee of the Natural Resources Defense Council who makes frequent appearances at political events. She co-produced the Academy Award winning documentary about Gore and his campaign against global warming, “An Inconvenient Truth.” “Al and Laurie went from friends to lovers,” Star quotes an unnamed insider as saying. “It couldn’t be avoided.” David divorced her husband, the “Seinfeld” creator and “Curb Your Enthusiasm” star, in 2007 amid reports that she was cheating with the married caretaker of their Martha’s Vineyard summer home. Meanwhile, the National Enquirer, which blew the lid off John Edwards stepping out while he was running for president, blamed Tipper Gore’s unfounded suspicions of affairs. “Tipper’s jealousy was putting stress on their marriage,” the National Enquirer quotes an unnamed insider as saying. “Al finally told her their relationship was over because he couldn’t stand her jealous rages anymore.” The tabloid weekly said there was no proof the former veep and green idol ever cheated on Tipper, but she suspected him constantly. “I think she’s always believed there was something going on between Al and many of the women in his life,” the unnamed insider is quoted as saying. Al, 62, and Tipper, 61, were high school sweethearts. Their split, announced two weeks ago, shocked many Gore associates who had always thought the marriage one of the most solid in politics.
