Basketball Jones

Now that basketball is officially done for the season and Big Zach is happy, my b-ball heads may start going into withdrawal.  To tide you over I ripped a 45 that I picked up last weekend.  It's Cheech and Chong's "Basketball Jones."  This is funny, wonderfully produced, and the lyrics actually were probably written by a basketball player or at least someone who knew their stuff.

For a song where the main focus is on the lyrics and the comedy it's amazing the type of talent that performed the instrumentals.  George Harrison is on guitar, Tom Scott is on sax, Carole King on electric piano and Billy Preston is on organ (there's others, but I'm not familiar with them.

To put a cherry on top of this, an animated short was created for the song and it's even more funky than the song!


This post wouldn't be complete without my favorite tee-shirt.  It's some Free Gold Watch dopeness that pays homage to the point guard that played his heart out every single game.  I was always a Knicks fan and boy did I hate MJ (and Reggie Miller for that matter).

If you're down with the streetwear  gear and are looking for some new threads for the summer, be sure to check out the new boutique in the Mall of America, Reign.  They're the sister company of Uptown sneaker and threads fresh-atorium, Status.

Hey Art!  If you're reading this, holler at your DJ!
