North America's Gnarliest Mix of Zen ideology hybridized with leave-no-trace ethics

We're back from one of North America's Gnarliest Self-Storage Facilities with the second part of our "storage wars" diptych. (Find part one here). This week's practice continues to build on Zen monk Kusala Bhikshu's "leave no footprints" approach to living. We'll hear some of the classic '90s and '00s sounds that we've encountered while attempting to apply this radical line of thinking to a deep dive into the claggy Cosmic Chambo Studio CD archive.

Listen for several variations on psychedelic underground hip-hop, my favorite solo effort by a member of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, more apocalypse gospel from Damon Locks, and a classic report from Jennifer Herrema's personal cannabis cup competition. As we wind down, there will be an opportunity to join Roots Manuva, El-P, and Nurse With Wound in going half on a sack. 

You can listen to Kusala’s full dharma talk here, or sort through the urbandharma.org archive for more. I didn’t spend a long time with Kusala, but he was my first real Zen teacher, and his guidance is part of what started me down this path. He would surely not approve of going in on a dub sack with Luniz, Roots Manuva, El-P, or Nurse with Wound, fwiw.

This week’s video promo is another collage of phone camera pictures of the very CDs we retrieved from the storage space.
