+ SABER- Mad Society
Born in 1976 in Glendale, California, SABER had already made his name a visual fixture in Los Angeles by the end of his teens. But it was as a 20-year-old that he completed the painting that would catapult him to the status of a global legend. His piece on the sloping bank of the Los Angeles River is nearly the size of a football field, and can be read clear as day from a satellite photo. In a famous photograph taken by his father just after it was completed SABER stands on the piece and appears as a tiny speck amid a giant blaze of color.

+ Pixação - São Paulo Signature - “The astute analysis which is expanded upon in this volume opened my myopic eyes to a system of writing and ethic of creation that rises above even the most high-spirited and emblematic American graffiti.” Steven Heller
Scenes - Graffiti in Barcelona
This book is the result of Alberto Scholz’s desire to photograph graffiti as an insider, rather than an outsider looking in. His aim is not purely to document but to "photograffiti", and that demands he be part of the action.
Autograf: New York City's Graffiti Writers
Almost every artist's face in this 71/2"×101/4" collection of 96 hot-looking four-color portraits (with a few more in b&w) is obscured in some way, reminding us that while some may see these writers as artists, many others, including the police, perceive them as criminals.
Giant
Mike Giant has achieved fame as a graffiti artist, illustrator and tattooist. Black ink is GIANT’s specialty and whether his medium is concrete, paper or skin his signature style - made up of equal parts Mexican folk art and Japanese illustration - is unmistakable.
Banging Your Head Against a Brick Wall
The first incendiary collection of stencils and graffiti from Banksy, presented and bound in a handy pocket sized high quality format. Rarely have art and politics been put to such fine,and overtly public, use. Mix the irony and juxtaposition of John Yates with the beauty of the finest aerosol art, and you'll have some idea of how good this really is. The reproductions are interspersed with an excellent array of quotes, statements, letters and a beginners guide to painting with stencils. Very, very good.

Fuzz One
Description: FUZZ ONE is the staggering, outrageous, true story of a raucous and wholly unsupervised childhood in the Bronx of the 1970s. Through Vincent Fedorchak's hilarious deadpan narration of a wild existence wrought with adolescent braggadocio, we are taken on a rough journey through a deteriorating Bronx jungle-wonderland where property value was plummeting and kids ruled the streets.

For the most part our channels/stations are filled to the brim with garbage programming that advocates lives that are less becoming of ourselves. Why? Who wants to go into the multitude of reasons. Instead, I will give you a video that sums it up better than I could ever do..

An unlikely theory of globalization
by Franklin Foer
Read this book and you will not be disappointed. Foer goes into great detail to show how soccer affects politics and life around the globe. This book is full of insightful analysis that range from soccer thugs in Serbia who helped organize troops to commit atrocities during the Balkan War to hooligans in Scotland that hate each other due to religious differences-Protestants vs Catholics. In short, this book is quite entertaining and worth every penny.
FSTV
Free Speech Television
If you have access to this great channel I suggest you check it out. Not only does it have comprehensive news stories covering a wide array of topics but it also presents the whole issue raw and uncut. Today I watched an hour-long program called “Keynote.” This show featured one half of the hip hop group M1 of dead prez talking to students differentiating the history of the black power movement and the civil rights movement. To say the least, this channel never disappoints.
