Can’t get this jam out of my head this morning! I have to say that these kids have got it right. I will probably be following up with more from these guys.
Wow it has been sometime since Jason and I have had time to write anything for the site but, we’re both hoping that’s about to change. I’ve been trying for awhile to get my head around the WordPress codex to build a customized version. Unfortunately, over time it’s been frustrating and I’ve half assed it so I’m going the route of manipulating a pretty awesome theme for our purposes. Stay tuned as we have a lot of great stuff coming up. Also for the next couple of days the site may be out of whack as I change things around, bare with us.
Dave Chapelle in London alive and well and still funny as hell check this.

Way back in high school is when I first got into Saul Williams; I’m not sure how, but at some point I got a hold of his first CD Amethyst Rock Star; I’m not going to lie it changed my life. Not really because of the subject matter, but because of the delivery. If you you’ve never heard Saul Williams before you are missing out on some serious stuff; he can transcend most mediums, he is a Writer, Musician, Poet, Actor. His last album self titled Saul Williams; was a reaction against the “gangster play” of both our country and popular music; songs like Grippo, Telegram to Hip-hop, African Student Movement all dealt with politics in this country and also and at times more importantly inner politics. At times it takes on some very heavy social matters but delivered in a way that you could bob your head to. Saul Williams is not just Hip-Hop, he transcends genres without even trying, the very nature of his art is the knowledge of self. His new and most ambitious album to date called The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Stardust is produced by both him and Trent Reznor. Take a look at the track listing and our probably going to be baffled (if the name of the album hasn’t already) if your not familiar I think it’s a play on The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust the seminal album by David Bowie. With songs like Tr(nigger), Raw, Skin of a Drum and Raised to be Lowered its definitely an intense album and a more focused one. The influence of Trent Reznor can be heard all over the place but the focus is still on Saul, his words never disappoint.
So I’ve pretty much been underground for the last month. Nothing had really sparked my interest to get me to leave my apartment if it wasn’t related to school or work, but last night all that changed. Quick background Steve Aoki (Kid Millionaire) is a music powerhouse. For some old school fans he used to be the front man for post-hardcore act This Machine Kills. He is also currently owner of indie label Dim Mak which is not only the name of the touch of death, but also home to bands like Bloc Party and The Klaxons. Steve has spent most of the year globe trotting industry parties, lavish suites and 10,000$ a night gigs. He is also in the works promoting his new CD “Pillowface and his Airplane Chronicles”, dropping on Dim Mak in January.
