Old School Montessori (1969-1975)
2009-11-10 01:29:00 All this talk about Near North Montessori has got me thinking about my own childhood experiences at the school. Here's the class picture from what may have been my last year at the old Near North, which was then located on Chicago Avenue next to St. John Cantius (the church my father returned to many many years later). Yep, two adults for fewer than 20 kids. Amazing, huh? I took the Halsted bus to and from school (and got hit by a Montgomery Ward van one day running across the street). Paul Guinan and I put out a little newspaper with cartoons and stories in it. Alex Medai and I obsessed over World War II and spoke with English accents...

Old School Sundays: Party Up Edition
2009-10-12 04:06:00 DMX "Party Up" f/ Gym Class HeroesLIVE @ VH1 Hip Hop HonorsClips from the upcoming VH1 Hip Hop Honors Show, airing on October 13th, continue to surface and the sneak preview at DMX's return performance of his classic "Party Up" inspired this edition of Old School Sundays. But first and foremost, DMX brought the energy to the stage and it was refreshing to see him doin' what he does best. Did you see how the crowd was jumpin'? Man, that looked like quite the scene.So how does the video above inspire Old School Sundays? Well, of course everyone has the original but my love for "Party Up" was renewed when I first heard this mash-up of "Party Up" and Eminem's...
Old school and keeping it cool: Bob Mould
2009-10-08 18:25:00 Photo Credit: chromewavesdotorg via Flickr You may recognize Bob Mould as part of the punk rock band Hüsker Dü from the 80's or Sugar from the 90's or part of the duo behind Blowoff but he's coming back to Chicago with a sound that he's been working on for more than 20 years. I recently had the chance to talk with Mould on the telephone to get a feeling of what this hard working musician has been doing, where he's been and what he has planned for the future. He's been busy writing an autobiography that he hopes will be finished early next year, he's traveling the country with Richard Morel showcasing Blowoff in 4 cities now, DC, NYC,...

Slikk beat that takes us back to an old school feel with some nice horns scattered throughout.

Old School Sundays: 2Pac "Brenda's Got A Baby"
2009-09-13 23:55:00 2Pac "Brenda's Got A Baby" THROWBACK VIDEO!Today marks the 13th anniversary of one 2Pac Shakur's premature passing and it's certainly a reminder to reflect on the work of the fallen legend. One of his landmark songs and videos is a record that vaulted his early career to another level: "Brenda's Got A Baby". It was his storytelling that you can't help but get attached 2 in this song and the visuals for it go hand in hand. "Brenda's Got A Baby" has long been one of my favorites from 'Pac - one of a countless number of timeless hits that still resonate today and for generations to come. Let's just continue 2 celebrate 2Pac for his music and his immensely...

Old School Sundays: Eminem vs. Rhymefest
2009-08-16 16:42:00 Eminem vs. RhymefestWas in a freestyling mood this morning so I dug up the classic Eminem vs. Rhymefest battle for another installment of Old School Sundays. It may be common knowledge to even the casual hip hop fan, but before both were famous, Rhymefest defeated Eminem in the Scribble Jam 97 competition. And in the footage captured above, I wholeheartedly agree. Rhymefest's Suge Knight line was the instigator to the roof bein' torn off and it only gets betteer from there as he powerfully spit only a few more bars. Anyway, I know this is news to some of our readers out there so I hope this news (or reminder) helps you take Rhymefest even more seriously. Enjoy! -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------What do...

Alien vs Predator on My T-shirt, It's so Old School
2009-06-10 04:31:00 Long before Alien vs. Predator (2004) and Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007) was released by 20th Century Fox, there's probably a similar movie preceding the sequel. Maybe, at that time, the sci-fi movie makers didn't have similar perception (or rather fantasy) of what we think about what suppose to be predator and how the alien should look like. Dinosaurs was the hugest, strongest and most aggressive carnivore ever existed and so they thought it made a great predator character. What about the alien? Surely this guy got the ugly-looking face, big-ass brain that showed how intelligent he is and wore its most futuristic shielding attire. I'm amused by Ames Bros retro sci-fi illustration of the battle between Alien vs Predator (as you see on this tee - $27 @ Anonymous Venice). The imagination we have today and in past about the battle and the two characters are completely different and yet it feel so similar! Now, how both characters will look like in next 20 years?

Old School Starcraft, by Pillars
2008-05-27 00:00:00 Ex-Progamer, clanmate and good friend of mine Pillars wrote a neat post up about his experience with high-level Starcraft play back in the day… he said I could repost it here. To any veteran SC gamer, especially one that played in the PGL, i2e2 or on Kali this article should bring up some fun memories. I know it did for me, I could talk for hours/days about SC 1999-2004 the old school years. Who is Old school? Brief BW History Author Pillars Someone over there asked me to talk a bit about my BW history after I linked him to the “Who is old school [Pictures]” thread on this site. Figured some of you might enjoy it as well. I’ll bang out some paragraphs for you...this will be an interesting exercise in memory, and I’ll undoubtedly get some facts wrong: Starcraft was my first competitive RTS. There was a whole brood of very strong RTS players who had played Warcraft 2 on Kali [an old IPX online gaming platform] who were able to translate many of ...
