Juggling Pain
Parents, I implore you. Your religious, spiritual, and social beliefs are you own. Don't impose them on your children. Creating a "model youth" is not your job. Your job is to be loving and bring your child up in a loving environment.
Living vicariously through someone is a surefire way to ensure that you will ultimately lose their respect and friendship. Also, they will probably resent you, and not want to have much to do with you for a long…

STREAM: Thundercat's Unconventional 'The Golden Age of Apocalypse'
Thundercat’s debut album is a gorgeous minimalist jazzy soundscape. Featured on the LP are interpolations of collaborations with other artists (Flying Lotus on “Mmmhmm” and Shafiq Husayn on “Love Still Hurts”). The light experimentation and free-form song structures are more in line with label Brainfeeder’s unconventional style, while the jazz elements are reminiscent of Peralta’s Endless Planets. Even a little bit of ‘80s electronic funk influences make its way onto the album.… Continue

Bosco, We Meet Again... - 'Pacer' EP Free Download
Brittany Bosco... She graced us with an amazing EP, 'Spectrum', in 2009 then disappeared without a trail of new tracks to sustain us until her polished return. Finally she's released a concept EP, 'Pacer', that takes you along a journey from Atlanta to California in a 1973 Pacer. Boasting a sound distinctly different from 'Spectrum', which is comprised of a blend of rock and jazz, it vibes more along the… Continue

DIY Fashion: Make Your Own Spiked Knucklebuster Ring
I own too much jewelry. I have it in all corners of my apartment and I rarely wear any of it. A few days ago, I spotted a ring I made last year on boyfriend's dresser that he stole. Lord knows how long he had it. And just like the good pack rat I am, I took it away from him, felt bad, and then decided to make him one of his own. I got the idea from this Luv Aj ring. It's no longer sold in stores but… Continue

Black Witch: "I Dun Wanna Die!"
What’s a fairly common question I get when doing divination? Death. “Am I gonna die?”, “When am I gonna die?”, “Can you see when my death is?” Seriously wanna make you speed up the process while doing Darwinism a favor. First and foremost: Yes, you’re going to die. Everyone is. It’s a terrible fact of life that is not easy to come to grips with but everyone you know and love, including yourself, is going to kick the bucket hardcore one day. It’s not a fun fact but a true fact.… Continue

Tattoo Of The Week: The Writing's On The... Forearm
Today we're featuring AP member, artist Fanesha Fabre. She told us: "I have a total of 7 tattoos and to me tattoos are a rite of passage, a memory, a reminder. They are also a form of self expression, you're telling the world that you don't care to be different or to stand out, FOREVER. I actually want a whole sleeve but I am working towards that. :D"

AP History: Delta Blues Great Robert Johnson
There are some musicians whose legend overshadows their work itself. Artists whose massive volume of work is worthy of legend are often reduced to small anecdotes: Van Gogh cut off his ear, Ozzy bit the head off a bat, Brian Wilson befriended serial killers and could only write in a sandbox. In the case of delta blues great Robert Johnson, who in his lifetime only recorded a meager 29 songs, the legend of him selling his soul to the devil at the crossroads for guitar ability is so… Continue
