below for more info also stay tuned for dork s interview with brendt barbur for issue 5 posted by taj daily update june 19 2006 gaming from gta to ping pong gaming from gta to ping pong earlier last month some of the dork crew got to check out the ping pong release from rockstar games it s awesome it was intuitive fun and had strong replay value it s not one of those games you pick up and get tired of easily the new york times recently wrote a nice review of it in their tech section as reported by the ny times when i first read about rockstar games presents table tennis i thought it must be some kind of prank how could rockstar the developer of such blood drenched titles as manhunt and grand theft auto vice city be making a table tennis game it was as if quentin tarantino had announced plans to remake pride and prejudice table tennis is not a prank nor is it some sexed up sports game like outlaw tennis there are no illegal matches in disreputable warehouses or exploding ping pong balls it s a table tennis game and quite a good one at that read more about rockstar s ping pong endeavor posted by taj daily update june 17 2006 habitat wthn philadelphia habitat wthn philadelphia philadelphia is one of the greatest cities on the planet i know i m biased but it really is a hidden treasure thanks to places like space 1026 and the ever present art scene the city of brotherly love is getting noticed get ready to add another reason to visit the illadelph today a new boutique called wthn opened up in old city dork s resident writer and all around fashion guru catzie caught up with the owner to talk shop words by catzie mason warner is on a mission to help philly creatively you ve probably seen his work he s worked with the creative director of urban outfitters where he gained experience in design and construction over time his interests in clothing sneakers and toys increased which led him to ubiq to become their creative director unhappy with the ways things were going he decided it was time to make his own moves so he opened his own store aptly called wthn posted by taj daily update june 16 2006 people ricky powell people ricky powell do you remember a time before the digital camera i don t either apparently people used to put this thing called film inside of cameras instead of memory sticks boggle well ricky powell remembers he made a name for himself crashing parties in new york becoming a club scene fixture armed with just an instamatic camera powell documented the emerging world of hip hop public access ricky powell photographs 1985 2005 showcases the people that have inspired him over the years some are famous some aren t they re all beautiful preview photos from public access ricky powell photographs posted by james film the 11th hour rappers are no strangers to hyperbole you can t get through a typical album without hearing this is history in the making or some other meaningless grandiose catchphrase like that whatever i don t know if they do that for us or for themselves but it isn t convincing del is different he doesn t seem to care about anything but the music del hasn t released an album in six years he s anxious about his new project he fears that people will discover that he s a one trick pony and lose interest his anxiety has fueled an interest in musical theory del explains you ve got to understand the way chords move because that s what s moving people in music i knew what melody was but i couldn t explain it now people may not like what i do and that s cool but they can t say i don t know what i m doing the 11th hour is a refreshing hip hop documentary about a humble dude and his tunes it shouldn t be missed posted by james daily update june 15 2006 artist zero 7 artist zero 7 i really love that scene from garden state with largeman at his friend s houseparty remember everybody s raging out of control drugs and sex are everywhere largeman just sits on the sofa sedated taking in the debauchery with a blank expressionless face i don t think the scene would ve had the same resonance without zero 7 s in the waiting line henry and sam know how to create music that s lush and evocative for their third album the garden they went back to basics henry built a studio on the english countryside and the team began recording i loved it explains sam it sounds like a hippie set up and it was really there d always be a few people showing up having bbqs posted by james artist jay dee s shining we miss jay dee however it looks like he s left behind an enormous amount of work to influence generations upon generations to come recently when dork was in tokyo we found his work being celebrated on a whole different level for example we visited a tower records where they had his music displayed on all the walls i heart dilla shirts were laid out everywhere and his latest release donuts was on the lips of every audiophile there it was great to witness that alone made the trip worthwhile as bbe music states on august 22nd jay dee s the shining will serve as a testament to the fact that legends never die eddie bezalel briefly discussed the album release saying releasing the shining would only be possible if we could ensure that it be completed exactly how dilla envisioned it the only logical choice for his mother and us was dilla s longtime friend and collaborator karriem riggins serving as executive producer karriem will oversee the completion of an already classic album that features busta rhymes common pharoahe monch madlib medaphor aka med and guilty simpson the theme of the album for dilla can best be described by karriem this album is inspired by and represents love all the artists that contributed to this project dilla considered family and when the world hears it they will see that the love bleeds thru the music listen to a tribute to dilla by j rawls posted by taj daily update june 14 2006 artist aaron wade artist aaron wade a few months back we gave you the good word about aaron wade he is a music video commercial director based in dallas texas his latest project a documentary film about the sneakerhead lifestyle isn t your average he s presenting a different perspective on street culture and sneakers aaron s not approaching it from the aspect of showing ridiculous collections instead he s highlighting the pursuit from saving hundreds of dollars for a pair of kicks to spending endless hours hunting if you haven t caught on he s got tons of talent and is writing about his adventures day by day his blog is a daily read for the folks at the dork offices you should check him out too he s got some new projects lined up that are sure to please read more about aaron and his filming adventures posted by taj
