Black beans (Brazilian style)

I lived in Boston in another life and had a friend (Brent) who worked at a Brazilian restaurant (very rare in the 1980's). Brent cooked up these beans on a regular basis and I took a liking to them, so I learned the basics from him, and they soon became a family favorite.- David 

Ingredients

1 bag of dried black beans

1 large pot

4-5 strips of uncooked bacon

4- 5 cloves garlic

fresh cilantro

salt & pepper

Process

1. soak the beans for 6-8 hrs covered with water in the large pot

2. After the beans have soaked for the allotted time drain them in a colander and rinse them with cold water.

3. Put the beans back in the pot cover them with water by two inches and bring to a boil.The beans should cook until tender.

4. When the beans are tender remove them from the pot and allow to drain in the colander once again, rinsing them.

5. Chop the bacon into 1” lengths and place into the pot on a lit burner.

6. When the bacon is fully cooked add the beans, mashing them as you go with appropriate kitchen gadget.

7. Add chopped garlic, cilantro, salt and pepper to taste (for additional kick you can addadobe chiles or whatever.)

These beans are great with pretty much anything. Fry them up with eggs for a tasty breakfast, serve them over rice for lunch, or wrap them in a tortilla for a snack.

A few weeks back some friends and I spent a Sunday afternoon listening to 78s in Fort Green Park. I can't recommend this highly enough. Check out the photo album here

Iceland-born illustrator Siggi Eggertson’s work is tough to categorize. It’s similar to pixel art, with the repetition of various colored shapes being used to create a larger image. However, unlike pixel art, Eggertsson utilizes the shapes created by overlapping forms as details in his complex and beautiful illustrations.

GURU of Gang Starr passed away last night after a brutal battle with cancer that left him comatose. I know not everyone on here love's hip-hop (this is a company blog after all), but the news hit me pretty hard, and loss is something universal so I had to share. I met GURU for the first time when I was 17 years old backstage at a Gang Starr concert. I was just some kid hanging out with a couple friends, and he came right up to me, all smiles and handshakes. I was floored that such a large presence in my musical life was so humble and cool! His style and presence we're so unique that I felt I already knew him. He seemed to go out of his way to pack his songs with bits of knowledge for kids like me, and so albums like Moment of Truth really spoke in a meaningful way. I am sure their are thousands of stories like this about Guru, and I guess it goes to show, you get back what you put in. For me GURU and the Gang Starr legacy will live on fondly.

Rest In Peace Keith Elam Aka GURU.

Here is a repost of the Nick Catchdubs interview we did last year spruced it up a bit. Enjoy!

Tucker and Bloom caught up with DJ Nick Catchdubs of Fool's Gold Records to ask him a few questions. Nick is a nice guy, with a Zen-like quality, and hands on experience moving dance floors around the Globe. We asked him about the progression of Fool's Gold, the powers of "Big Pimpin", and how to keep peace in the booth whilst song requests on napkins are thrown your way.

THE BAG MESSENGER: Alright, so we're going to ask you some quick DJ related questions. What's in the bag?

CATCHDUBS: Well I've got my little Serato setup. I actually have one of the first small PowerBooks, the 12 inch. It's kind of beat up, but because its small I love being able to carry it around. Now it's at the point where people are like "Wow...you still have that?". Knock on wood...it's never been a problem, but now I worry that one day it's gonna be so I'm holding off on making the switch as long as I can. So I rock with the Mac and Serato box and maybe I'll bring a good 5 or 6 records just in case we need to switch between DJs. I actually had a really funny gig the other night opening for Tiesto. I had to play on CDJs so I burned a bunch of CDs, so now I'm burning CDs just to have on hand. Sometimes its easier to switch off with them instead of vinyl. I also carry needles, slipmats, Blackberry charger. I always bring stickers for the label Fool's Gold, gum, just regular shit, ha ha. I know friends that roll with a mini umbrella. I played a show 2 weeks ago in Switzerland and the club had these really awesome cups with drunk rabbits on the sides so I took two of them in my bag I didn't realize I still had them until after I had played 4 other gigs and was wondering why my shit was all heavy. My bag had these souvenir glasses in it! Ha Ha!

THE BAG MESSENGER:  So...How is the label going?

CATCHDUBS: The label is going great. Fool's Gold is me and A-TRAK and Dust La Rock the art director. We're about to celebrate our two-year anniversary. It's been a really good run. We've done a good 22 records already, more if you count the little digital releases. Everything we do is a genuine reflection of A-TRAK's and my taste. I guess the biggest testament to what we've been able to accomplish is the fact that it transcends being just records that we like. It's stuff that we like and we're happy putting it out but it can also reach people that have never heard of these artists before and get on radio. Things that regular people and you know moms can listen to. It's cool knowing that the potential for all of these things is kind of infinite. When we started the label it was kind of a depressing time for the record industry. Everybody was like, "we can't sell music, we can't do this, and we can't sell that". We just kind of approached it like there is so much good stuff out there that just needs a personal touch so why don't we just fill that role? That's still kind of the attitude we take with us. A bunch of new stuff is on deck. We are putting out Donnis' first single. We signed a producer from Brooklyn named Kingdom who does really cool UK garage style, almost like R&B club music. I like that every artist and every release sort of has its own identity. I never want to be accused of being generic.

THE BAG MESSENGER: What is the Nick Catchdubs bathroom break song?

CATCHDUBS: The problem with the bathroom break song is you can't get too hype with it. Anything that's at least 10 min. long works. Usually its Juan Maclean " Happy House" There is also another record on DFA, "Casual Fridays". I just got this crazy Radio Slave remix of DJ Hell that's like 23 mins, but it's just this really a hypnotic techno song. It's not really the type of thing you can just throw on and bounce. The best pee break record ever is Jay-Z "Big Pimpin", cause that's one of the records that I like to play all 3 verses anyway. People know the all words to it. One time I was playing a holiday party for News Corp. and it was just the most insane. This was before everybody stopped doing holiday parties because of the economy. They had rented out the whole second floor of the Hilton across the street from Radio City and it was just packed. It was filled with people who work in the mail room at Fox...shit like that. You could tell they were super psyched to have something fun to do and it was amazing. If was definitely one of the top 5 parties I've ever DJ'd for a corporate type of thing.. I played "Big Pimpin" thinking with this I could go to the bathroom and come back, but didn't count on having to wade through all these people. So I literally get back just as it's fading out, cued it right back, and played it again, but it worked. That was a great party because at one point there was this fat girl in the audience that threw both arms up in the air and had crazy pit stains. It kind of let me know I was doing my job.

THE BAG MESSENGER: What record never leaves your crate?

CATCHDUBS: It's funny because there used to be when you used to carry records from gig to gig there would always be stuff you brought that kind of became like your record. The weird thing with Serato is that sometimes you don't even remember to rip those records. You'll be in your room one day looking through records and be like, "Damn, this used to be my shit! I should bring it back." As far as tracks I always play, Missy Elliot " Loose Control" is kind of like a perfect club record, especially for me because it's not really a rap record and not really an electronic record, but has great elements from both and it's just a fun song to mix with. I always end up playing that. I'm kind of a child of the 90's rock, hip hop, and house stuff so I always try to squeeze in as much older stuff as I can whether its Jay Dee's "Plastic Dreams", the Beastie Boys, and really anything that can fit between a couple genres. That's sort of my shit because it can act as a transition.

THE BAG MESSENGER: Craziest Request?

CATCHDUBS: My favorite requests are the ones that are written down, because I can scan them and show everybody that this is a crazy job sometimes. The best is when people ask for what's playing. You're playing a Biggie song and they come up to ask you to play some "east coast". There is always some girl who wants to hear Brittany Spears at 9 o'clock. My favorite requests are for stuff that I would like to play, but it's rare that you get those. One time this girl came up and gave me a paper napkin that said, "HELL NAW...Do You have some Foxy Brown?"and I'm like, "As a matter of fact I do". I was playing really fast stuff one night and this girl asked for Outkast "Bombs Over Bagdad", and I thought that is a perfect request. I love things like that because I'm not an anti request dude. I'll hear you out because its possible that your going to ask for something I was going to play anyways. You never say no to requests, always say yes and keep it moving because more than likely they will be drunk and forget about it. Or if they come back to ask about it you can be like, "I just played it, where were you?" Life's too short to argue with somebody about pop music at a nightclub.

THE BAG MESSENGER:  You travel a lot, do you have any travel horror stories?

CATCHDUBS: I've been pretty lucky. The biggest thing for me is getting to the airport and realizing that you either went to the wrong airport, forgot your passport, or forgot your passport at the wrong airport. That sucks because there have been times when I've been able to go and come back to make the same flight, but odds are you're getting on another flight, and you hope they don't charge you. My travel tales have been pretty copacetic, its always crazy to go to other countries because you have no idea what to expect. I'm a pretty glass half-full kind of dude so I always go in with the, "whatever happens...happens" attitude. If there is a stressful moment, something will make it unstressful. Other countries always have good candy, weird gummies that aren't approved for import into America. It's always funny going over to other countries and seeing...wait they put meat in this?? There is a story in everything.

“Second Serve” is the sequel to “Soft Serve,” a mix I recorded back in 2006. The premise was (and still is) pretty simple: make a mix of songs that represent the feeling you get when the weather is nice. In 2006, all it took was an afternoon in Centennial Park when the temperature had first hit the 70 degree range. That prompted me to head back to my on-campus apartment (HILLSIDE GET LIVE!) and record “Soft Serve.”

Now, three years later, the warm weather returned a bit earlier than expected. It’s been forever since I dropped a mix anyway, so the timing couldn’t be better. This one was recorded on a Friday afternoon. 71 degrees and sunny. What does that mean for whoever decides to listen to this mix?

80’s grooves. Huge keyboard bass. Snares with (almost) too much reverb. Disco. Synthesizers. Female vocals. Songs about getting “up” and/or “down.” Songs that make you want to party on a spaceship.

Sooooooo. What are you doing this weekend? Oh not much...just throwing a party with some friends. You know. Doing the thing. Oh it should be really good, actually, like insane. No really! We have a gang of leprecon's handing out sparklers, a bonafide old timey freak show (not the creepy racist kind), belly dancers that breath fire, and a bunch of good music to play. Oh and did I mention this month Kitchen Sink is on a Saturday? I guess I forgot that part. You should totally come, bring your friends, and some of those beads they use for mardi gras. See you there!

*The Tucker and Bloom Warranty although reasonable and just, does not cover fire breathing accidents.  

With all this warm weather, kids playing outside, and the CONSTANT Mr Softy Song playing OVER and Over, my mind is consumed with one thing and one thing alone, flu season. That’s right dear readers, it isn't over just because the snow melted away, and if how I feel this week is an indication of things to come all will soon be bed ridden watching court tv. Objection! I mean FEAR NOT! Although germs lurk literally all over everything you touch jumping like feeding lions at the chance to infect your helpless immune system with countless plagues, I have the cure. That’s right THE CURE. The one they don’t want you to know about. The cure developed over thousands of years by a group of folks wandering the deserts of Northern Africa. The flu is a hard road, but  you have to perceiver. You must eat…the Jewish Penicillin. Trust me, it helps! Plus your all skin and bones, you could use a hot meal, have you been taking your vitamins? (do it for your mother). Read on dear reader, the chosen soup lies ahead. 

-THE BAG MESSENGER!  

I owe my love of soup to the mother of one of my oldest friend. She was a great soupmaker and to this day I often think of her at the same time as her special soups. Her son gave her a call one day to get a recipe for Chicken Soup. My friend followed the recipe dutifully but when it was time to separate the liquid from the solids, poured the contents of his pot into a colander that was sitting in the sink, thus pouring the soup down the drain. So, my friends I would urge you to follow the recipe, but more than anything put a container under your colander.

- David

Ingredients

1 lbs chicken thigh (Kosher, but do what you like...we're not here to judge)

1lbs chicken wing (It's a small thing, this Kosher thing, but you would rather not?)

3 stalks celery

1 med sweet onion

1 carrot½ cup parsley

3 cloves garlic

1 large pot

2 quarts watersalt & pepper to taste

Process

1. Brown the chicken ( did you get the kosher chicken?) in the pot with a little olive oil on a low flame.

2. When chicken is browned add 2 quarts of water and bring to a boil.

3. Cut up and add all vegetables to boiling pot.

4. Boil for 1 hour and then turn it down to simmer.

5. Taste and salt to your judgment.

6. Let the pot cool and place in the refrigerator.

7. Skim the fat from the surface of the cooled soup.

8. Place a colander over another large bowl and pour the contents of the pot into the colander.

9. Use your hands to separate the meat from the bones ( make sure to wash your hands first bubbala, no one wants to taste your germs), as well as the vegetables.

10. I will leave it up to your own desire to save the meat etc. for your soup ( it is your soup, do what you like).

11. The bones are to be thrown out.

(hanoe hobn!) Enjoy!!

Making it happen has a always held high importance in society, and with the advent of the internet the show and dance has intensified exponentially. The do it yourself mentality has really swept into the music industry. With the influx of glittering myspace music pages, and gimmicky teen groups it is safe to say that genuine talent has become obscured. Some days it is almost hard to wallow through all the muck. It seems people spend more time getting "out there" then they do honing their craft. Perhaps its misplaced, but with the new music marketplace being what it is, you can't blame folks for chasing the buck. Few people are more dedicated to their craft then COOLOUT, a man put here for one reason, to make music. His attention to detail is precise and his work ethic is unshakable. Chances are as you read this, he is in the studio working on new stuff. Perhaps he is tracking vocals, or maybe he is re-scoring a silent film. One thing is sure, he won't stop, and we just did your music collection a serious favor.

-THE BAG MESSENGER

The Bag Messenger: How did you first get involved with music?

COOLOUT: I was that nerdy kid that hated playing outside, especially during the summer. I'd rather stay under the air conditioning and read. My mom played a lot of music around the house. Combine a healthy obsession of technology and art...that pretty much describes my life. There's a whole world that exists in my head when I'm alone.

The Bag Messenger: What did the young Coolout listen to?

COOLOUT: I remember my mom playing Motown, Earth, Wind, and Fire, War, CTI jazz stuff, and Disco. I would always dance around the house. Equally important was what she DIDN'T play. She didn't play a lot heavy funk like P-Funk or Rick James around the house. She kept the music real light. Also we were Presbyterian and the music at church was really solemn and dry...unlike a some of the more hyper, sanctified denominations. Of course I was into Micheal Jackson, but only up to about half of Thriller...after that it was pretty much straight up hip-hop for me. That was my rebellious music. The first record I bought with my own money was Kurtis Blow's “Eight Million Stories” on 45. That was only because they were sold out of RUN-D.M.C. In high school I was pretty active in the local hip-hop scene, making beats for various neighborhood rappers, but I also would crash college parties and got really into house music because I love to dance.

The Bag Messenger: How has your taste changed throughout the years?

COOLOUT: My taste hasn't really changed at all. It has only expanded. I've had to discover a lot of music on my own and find things that speak to me. Of course like most hip-hop producer cats I'm completely into jazz, funk, and soul, but I also love classical, experimental electronic music, and some rock. DJing different types clubs and events has made me research and appreciate stuff like Latin, Indian, and Caribbean or whatever.

The Bag Messenger: When did you first get involved with making beats? How did working with Count Bass D come about?

COOLOUT: When I was in 8^th grade my next door neighbor was a local music producer. He put a real Roland TR-808 in my lap and let me program it. From that point I was really obsessed with drum machines, samplers, and synthesizers. Once I started working my little teenage jobs, instead of spending a lot of money on clothes and things to look fly, I bought music equipment, computers, and records. I gained a reputation for beats and met Count through a couple degrees of separation. We started working together. I produced some demos that led to his first deal with Sony and worked on his first record in the early to mid 90's.

The Bag Messenger: What other kinds of projects have you produced?

COOLOUT: After working with various local rappers over the years, in 2002 I became fed up enough to concentrate on developing myself as a artist and started working on solo projects. I'm a one-man movement now. I've self-released at least 6 albums, most are available for free at my website: www.cooloutmusic.com Overall, 2009 was a pretty good year for me. I put out The Long Goodbye which was named Best Hip-Hop Album of 2009 by Nashville Scene. Also I produced, co-wrote, and engineered a Latin-flavored lounge album by Mia Calderon. In addition to various chops and beats, I released a bunch of remixes of the Stones Throw Records catalog.

The Bag Messenger: I know you have been DJing for some time. When did this become your job?

COOLOUT: In the late 90's I started DJing as a second job to buy more music gear. It came pretty easy because I was already chopping samples and matching tempos. With my flexibility and ear for music it quickly took over into being my full-time day job. I've played in well over 50 different clubs and venues.

The Bag Messenger: How has it affected your life?

COOLOUT: Spending every weekend night surrounded by drunks can cause you to sleep in the daytime and rarely enjoy being around people. I have a whole Bruce Wayne/Batman thing going on.

The Bag Messenger: What is one piece of advice you wish you had received going into this as a career?

COOLOUT: Work harder than everyone and don't be afraid to be your quirky, weird self. Take what people say with a grain of salt, because everyone has their own motivations, agendas, and point-of-view. There are no hard and fast rules.

The Bag Messenger: Can you let us know what you've been working on? What can we expect from you in the coming year?

COOLOUT: Now that I've moved up to Philly and I'm in my zone, 2010 is off to a good start. In February I put out a remix album for The Long Goodbye. I have another solo project I'm finishing up and a instrumental project that's almost done. It's a soundtrack to a silent film. I've also been making a bunch of house/indie dance stuff that I'm going to start putting out this year. Mia has one of our songs on a compilation album and I did a house mix for that. I'm also writing stuff specifically for her next album. Count Bass and I just started sending beats and vocals back and forth...plus I'm shopping 30-40 beats. On the DJing side of things I'm busy every weekend spinning at whatever random bar, bowling alley, retail store, nightclub, boat, restaurant, or cabin that wants me to pay me. I'm probably forgetting something big but that's pretty much it.
