Born in the Armenian quarter of Iran, he came to London aged 7. Within months of arriving, he felt the effect of the Islamic revolution back home. Unable to send money out of the country, Blade’s family could no longer support him. So, with no money, no family, alone in a strange country, his self-reliance and determination were all he had to see him through. The microphone, the studio and the stage provided his only release. 1989 saw Blade’s first release. A string of 12’s, ep’s and a massive double album followed, all of which were released on his own “691 INFLUENTIAL” . Videos for: It's Your Time, Mumps & Reflection.

WFMUMusic ARKives LTD.2011-12-13 | Music by DJ BrownBum
Video by Jennifer Uman
Over the past 7+ years, Noah Uman's show on WFMU (one of the largest free-form radio
station's in America); the oddly titled Coffee Break For Heroes & Villains was a place where
you could hear anything from the beginnings of rap to the most recent hip-hop unknowns from around the globe.
The weekly 3 hour show spent it's time playing forgotten gems, influential records or groups
from throughout the history of rap music, as well as showcasing unsigned up-and-comers and the latest in independently released hip-hop.
Some of the in-studio guests that came by the Jersey City studios over the years were R.A. The Rugged Man, Wu-Tang's Mathematics, legendary NJ producer Tony D (RIP), Prince Paul, Company Flow's Mr. Len & El-P, Source Magazine editor Reginald C. Dennis, author Brian Coleman, Wild Style director Charlie Ahearn and many others of the who's who in the rap game.
"Since I moved out of New Jersey, I didn't make it to the WFMU schedule this time around,
maybe next season. I figured instead of me not doing the show at all, I might as well try another route. I've put a lot of hard work into it over the years. From making physical flyers, t-shirts, setting up a website, basic online promotions, to booking all the guests as well. I shouldn't let not being on a radio schedule stop me from doing what I love. The decision to re-launch the show via social networking sites is the best move at the moment as far as getting the word out there, let's keep our fingers crossed, and give it a shot!"
Noah will upload the show at the same time each Wednesday evening at 8pm (East Cost Time)

The book itself brilliantly captured McLuhan's theories on media and technology, arguing that the medium by which information is transferred to people was more important then the actual content being relayed.
He hoped that an audio recording would help give greater depth to his theories, and in the late 1960s, McLuhan along with Jerome Agel and producer John Simon went to work on a record of the same name. Using audio clips of McLuhan speaking, often interrupted by discordant sounds and other voices interjecting, they created a thought-provoking, sometimes whimsical patchwork of sounds and ideas that illustrated the complex relationship between people, media and technology.
Over 40 years since its release, The Medium is the Massage continues to challenge listeners to think about media and communications in new ways.
Included in the gatefold paste-on package is a 40 page booklet featuring original essays by DJ Spooky and Michael Vasquez, original artwork by Winston Smith, testimonials by Jello Biafra, John Sinclair, DJ Food, Don Joyce from Negativland, Dick Cavett, Woody Allen and others, as well as a collection of previously unpublished photos from the original recording
sessions.
... the medium is the massage?
