Herbert's Heard
"You Got the Love" -- The Source (Still. Francis Poku taught me something.)
"Let Me Love You" -- Bunny Mac (I need this one. Thanks, Reborn. F.U., Cosi!)
"Rescue Me" -- A Taste of Honey
"Confessions Part 2" -- Usher (J.D. remix feat. Shyne, Twista, Kanye)
"Diary" -- Alicia Sleaze feat. Tony Toni Tone (I still love this song. Why?)

Word As Bond
I'm afraid to say too much on this here thing now. Cuz all these corporate suckers be reading my ish and be straight jacking my ish and sending out their own little war reports on the New York City nightlife complete with the songs they like and ... and ... they might as well start calling it a "Holler" too. Ahh ... I guess it's a compliment. They need this here "Holler" so they know what to do. Okay. That's alright. Now Hear This: Herbert needs some dope, uptempo new records to match the intensity and melodic quality of Usher's "Caught Up." Every time I put that song on, I look for a song to follow, and, well, it's the same ol' song. I need something new, energetic, fresh, or I'm gonna be forced to dig in the crates and hit 'em with a little ... sike! You thought I'd tell your jacking tush my song selection secrets? What is you crazy??? You're gonna have to pay me for that!!! Hey Pharell, hey Megahurtz, hey Diddy ... hit me with somethin' soon, ya Herb???

I could prolly just throw on something Spanish. Anything Spanish right now is hot. I don't know what they heck they be saying, but it's hot. Plain and simple. "Ay qui buenoooooo!!!!!" I guess I could follow Usher with that new Reggae-Ton ish from ... sike! I already told you, I ain't giving away jack unless you pay me, fools!!! Hey, wait a minute. That reminds me. Speaking of Usher, big big big up to my boy Paul Rubin--excuse me--Dr. Rubin for the gig chiropracticimating for Usher in Philly at his concert. That's a good look. He's a big dawg. Lots and lots of money and connects. You prolly should'a hooked a brother up with a "happy ending."

(Ew, son. Ew. That's nasty. And wrong.)

Speaking of "happy endings," I just got back from the land of "happy endings." South Jersey, that is. Atlantic City, home to gambling, massage parlors, strip clubs, decent fishing and great Italian food. And oh yeah--some serious golfers. I just completed my classic Ping I2 set via Peter Newcastle at Ye Olde Master's driving range. An 8-iron and pitching wedge, a new bag and soon a new Ping driver (this is exciting stuff). And, of course, Herbert did a lil' fishing. Only thing I caught was a nasty sunburn on my upper arms and shoulders, but whatever. Some dude did catch something on his line SO BIG it literally dragged his boat 500 yards. Turned out to be a sting ray, and although it was 10 feet long and a very exciting fight, you can't eat it, so he cut the line.

This week, I got my cousins from Israel in the house. All they keep saying is "sushi ... sushi." I swear it might be the only word they know. I've eaten so much God-darn sushi, I think tomorrow morning I'm a wake up with a rectangular cube of rice underneath me, tied around my stomach with a big belt of seaweed. And my girl will be two big chopsticks. Scary thought. Then I got my other cousin in. He's half Israeli, half French and all American--he's been living in Atlantic City for several years now and is completely hooked on poker. I know I need to steer him away from that ish, but, well ... problem is ... he wins. And he wins often. And then he takes me out with the money he wins. So what should I say? "No, Nathan. Stop. That's not good. Bad, Nathan, bad. Put your $1000 away and let's get us some Ramen noodles?"

Big up to Decibel on 9th Street between 2nd and 3rd Aves. It's still the funnest place to get drunk on some Sake, and you know the background mixtape the Japanese heads be rocking is dope because they love them some hiphop and soul, dude. We got messed up on some hot sake they call "Chug Shu" or something. So good. Ang big up to Eric and Luck for last week's gig at 17. It was off the meatracks. I had 'em standing on chairs, looking up to G-d for deliverance from this deejay who has 'em by the freaking ears!!!!!! Also big up to Jon Oliver, not only for the mix CD (which was so refreshing), but also for the hooker tales. Cracked me up.

Oh yeah. Before I go, Freedom was off the chain last week. Ain't nothin' like it!

Peace, love and good health,
