Give it up for Farrah. Her death was not overshadowed by Michael Jackson's.
Here's the proof...

Reminder! Tonight! Things!

tonight is the night. its independence eve!

it has just been confirmed that we have a 100% awesome real life American Revolutionary War Reenactor coming to the Khyber this evening to back up our historical accuracy. the art works all in and we're jazzed! 
like an exorcism, we're going to bring the ghost of patriotism out of your lungs.  by nights end you'll be perched on a rooftop wearing nothing but an american flag screaming "FREEDOM" and "LIBERTY" as if you couldnt control yourself. oh, it will be sweet. when the dust settles and you wipe the last drop of free pbr from your lips, you too will be overcome with MERICA and your heart will be complete. 
‘MERICA

also, Lizzy Janssen is having an amazing solo show right down the road at Vagabond in Old City (37 N. 3rd street). Under the influence of muggy summer nights, overgrown weeds, and the lackadaisical comfort of new moons she hands us a collection of drawings, and paintings that are perfect for a glass of lemonade or jumping on a trampoline in the middle of a field. Come soak it all in at vagabond from 6-9.

1306.27 miles from kingston. (compound mixtapes)


aaaaaand we're back with another compound mixtape.

this is part two! the sequel! which you can thank the slow wide turns of Mr. Justin Berry for making.
He gave me this mix probably two weeks ago and so far i've been slacking on posting it. in fact, i'm pretty sure that after you listen to it youre going to be mellowed out for the same amount of time. toes in the sand, sun overhead. this reggie heavy mix will have you melting into your chair, transforming your headphones into giant window units that'll paralyze you in a green, yellow, red, and black haze of comfort. jah bless justin, jah bless.
