LAZER SWORD is the duo of San Francisco based LOW LIMIT and LANDO KAL. They like to make music that sounds like your favorite top 40 rap shit chopped up into a tornado filled with razor blades and molasses. Or maybe like Frank Zappa rocking the home made Lil John tank-top at the rooftop party.
LAZER SWORD made the SWEATPANTS MONEY MIXTAPE for one of their favorite websites; Nalden.net. A lifestyle blog for people who love to stay ahead of the curve. SWEATPANTS MONEY is featuring 26 tracks blended into a tornado of heavy LAZER SWORD beats with a cappella’s from artists like Ludacris, Jay-Z, M.I.A. & Eazy-E. As a big fan of the duo from SF, Nalden is pleased to host this mix especially made for his blog. Like the blog, the music of LAZER SWORD is to put it bluntly, really next level.

Check out this terrifically entertaining interview of Ariane Conrad, author of The Hooping Book: here
Rumpus: Right! The book. Let’s talk about this book. You and this mortal HoopGirl have written a guidebook to sex.
Conrad: Actually, it’s a guide to hooping, the modern form of hula hooping.
Rumpus: Oh come now. Let’s take a look… “activate the muscles in your legs to power your pelvic thrusts,” it says here.
Conrad: Right, in order to keep the hoop in orbit around your waist.
Rumpus: I think we both know you’re talking about sex. How about this: “Don’t anticipate; respond to it. Push into it when you feel it touch you.”

The Blue Bottle Coffee kiosk beneath my architecture office is constantly busy, sometimes with lines exceeding 30 minutes in our Hayes Valley back alley. This morning as I approached our front door, I notices a new street addition across the street. Desiring more table space to set his drink, one of the regular customers took matters into his own hands. Across the street there have been two metal poles that sand about 40″ tall, the kind normally reserved for protecting building from people backing into them in a car. This clever customer decided that one of the poles would be the base for his new mobile table, seen in the photograph above. His plan is to bring it over to Blue Bottle everyday when he gets his coffee. His table top takes advantage of the sunny side of the street, where customers often just lean against a wall while drinking there morning coffee.
I’ll post more photos in the next few days as I find time to edit them. I had such a great time connecting with everyone and Carrboro is beautiful. Wow. More on the experience to come… I gotta get some sleep.
