KNXWLEDGE - HEXUAL SEALINGS PRT.8 (cassette)


So Knxwledge's 8th installment to Hexual Sealings is on cassette now at Stones Throw's online store. Buy one! It's the same as buying 30 red plumbs, in the winter when their out of season. Yeah! I'm not even trying to be clever. I literally bought 10 dollars worth of plums two days ago. So, there you go.

It still hadn't hit me that Knxwldge was sign to Stones Throw until recently when I saw that Mndsgn was signed too. I only really knew of him through youtube and bandcamp, but its just really great to see that things are moving forward for him. The same with Mndsgn. It's very inspiring. But buy the damn cassette though.

Bootleg: Neca Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtal Figure


I've been up on my Scrooge Mcduck lately. Saving every penny for when my girlfriend and I move out at the end of spring. I want to be financially set on rent and utilities months in advance, soooo I haven't really been balling like I use to. No more faberge eggs, golden chalices and burberry key chains. Now its just $0.89 tissue paper and Kroger brand parmesan cheese. But about two months ago, I felt the urge to buy some shit. So I did. I went on AliExpress with the intention of buying a "Master Stars Piece" 10 inch Vegeta PVC figure. Which I did mind you, but with the added inclusion of 13 other items.

Now, AliExpress is a site known for a it's knock-off items. So when I saw an figure titled: "NECA TMNT Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Classic Collection Michelangelo Action Figure 5'' New In Box." I knew that shit was a goddamn bootleg off the rip, but I'm cool with that. It's not like I'm buying an obviously fake SUPREME X THE NORTH FACE jacket for around 60 bucks. No one should pay more than $20 for anything inauthentic. But this Michelangelo figure was kinda dope and only17.99, so I'm technically not a chump. Just $2.01 shy of that.

After about a month of waiting, I finally got my figure and I was surprised. Surprised by a horrible fucken stench coming from the box. It's a fine looking product. But damn! I had to let it air out for most of the day. Any who, here's a review of the same figure:
