HULU “A DAY IN THE LIFE” + CHILLIN ISLAND RADIO

Das Racist — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 12:16:48 +0000

We were just featured on a Morgan Spurlock Hulu show called “A Day in the Life” about a weird ass day we had in February. A few points/gripes:

For some reason they made it appear I live near the Bedford stop of the L train, which isn’t near my house at all. No idea why they did that.
I sound like a real weirdo pussy in the beginning because I was ice cold in Hima’s apartment. Sound like I’m crying, apologies.
They have an incredible amount of stock Times Square footage they kept using which is extremely odd.
The 7 minutes of studio shit at the end is mad boring.

Other than that, it was decent.

PETS + AUSTRALIA

Das Racist — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 00:54:09 +0000

I’m writing this in my apartment. I now have a cat (Mortimer), I’ve never had a cat before. It doesn’t seem to like me very much and it is sleeping in the closet and on top of piles of merch, which annoys me. I wish it turned into a dog, specifically my old dog Rupee that died.

I don’t think I like this cat very much. Does this make me a bad person? Of course this doesn’t. Regardless, I might have to kill it before the sun comes up.

We just finished the Europe leg of our Relax tour. It wasn’t bad. I might have to further investigate the city of London in the near-future, along with a few others. We’re going to take 4 weeks off to work on not comitting suicide, TV shows, music and bad films. Hopefully none of the results ever see the light of day and we can go on with the charades, as per usual!

RIP

1997 – 2008
