Thursday Evening
1. The FADER's Aaliyah issue is hitting newsstands next week - and debuting on 106 and Park in about twenty minutes. I've got a little remembrance in there - an honor to be alongside for-real illuminaries! - and the all-Aaliyah mix I did for the issue will be posted up over there next week, too.
2. The big drug bust story out of San Diego State - you know, where the feds busted over 100 frat dudes selling coke, ecstasy and weed after a year-long investigation - is not without its funny-from-a-distance moments. The Wire it was not:
The day after the drug sweep landed members of three fraternities in jail and led to the suspension of six frats, investigators revealed how easy it was to penetrate the university's drug culture.
Students who had gotten caught for fighting, drinking, minor drug offenses or other crimes quickly turned informants and used text messages to introduce their drug dealers to undercover agents. Dealers made handoffs in front of dorms, in parking lots or behind frat houses, sometimes in broad daylight in full view of surveillance cameras.
They apparently made little effort to launder their spoils. One fraternity brother arrested Tuesday drove his Lexus directly from a $400 cocaine sale on campus to a nearby bank, where he deposited the cash, according to court papers.
That came as a surprise to agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration, who were used to being thoroughly screened by dealers scared of being arrested....
The ringleader, a 19-year-old, brazenly sent out text messages advertising weekend blowout sales on cocaine, authorities say.
File under "This Week In U Ain't Gangsta"...
3. Super Kookies! Via Finny.
4. Somebody buy me this jacket. I would pay sixty for it - maybe 80 even - and feel good but 190 + 20 shipping (from Noofie land!) is too damn much.
5. Goddamn if the Genevan Heathen's blogg isn't the best I've seen all year. Reading this shit is kinda like sitting by the pool all drunk and happy at 3 in the afternoon playing fun shit on the stereo with like six different parties to go to when the sun goes down and a billion people calling your phone wanting to hang out. And Cuizi-cuiz's POUR LES FILLES VOL. III drops next week. Highest recommendation.
6. Buffalo's finest DJ NOODLES destroying shit.
