Somebody sent us this under the heading "See, you're wrong about flip- flops." We'll concede the flops on this one, but that's only because dude is so broken in he looks like a human jean jacket. Comments/Enlarge | See all


Grad school types and religious assholes want to convince us that assimilation is mean and racist and makes immigrants betray their cultural roots, but what if they're just really psyched to live somewhere that isn't an abject shithole? Comments/Enlarge | See all








BASE FM SHAKE 'N' BAKE
Western Park
Saturday 6th March
12pm - 6pm


The festival season is not over yet with the best event of the year still to come!! BASE FM is once again holding its annual Shake ‘N Bake in Auckland's suburb of Ponsonby. A combination of music & live-art in the park, which embrace the key elements of the underground hip hop culture. The event will be broadcasting live on BASE FM and you won't have to worry about having to fork out cash on tickets - this event is free for the whole family!!!

Showcasing this year are the innovators not imitators:

On the live front, Auckland's current leading hip-hop group Home Brew will be performing, alongside rising stars of the soulful groove Koru Licks, and the MC combo Shine Forum. Two of the nations most celebrated producers/drummers will be combining forces for this event: Wellington's Riki Gooch (Trinity Roots and Eru Dangerspiel fame) and Julien Dyne (Opensouls) will be pushing the outer limits of rhythm. A special producer showcase will feature NZ's best up and coming beat-makers Scratch 22 (Tourettes, Unscene), Miso Shiru (Charizma) & Ben Wah (Honeyclaws). Support from BASE FM DJ's Gemma & An Pham, Chef D and JC/DC all pumping out of the 30Hertz Sound System.

To keep not only your ears but your eyes entertained the Cut Collective will be painting a ten metre long mural. Beat Markets, apparel and food stores will be running from midday to 6pm.BASE FM SHAKE 'N' BAKE
