Erase Errata guitarist goes dolo!
master p was my english teacher, mom
I'm tired. New York makes you feel dizzy. Fight, sit, sit, fight. Sonic Youth makes me feel like music criticism still matters. Rather Ripped is easily one of the best records this year. Girl Talk, too (gonna see homedude spin this Friday). But, I've been over here, thats why the talk talk talk on this side has been slim. Don't think I've forgotten about you, Japan. I've been staying up late nights, working on a tiny comic book called The Queen is Dead, Again that should be done sometime soon. Children need stories, too. My nephew, whose six, wants records.
How can I be weary when thats what is in the world?
Providence, Rhode Island is where I want to wander. Brown University is gangsta. I've seen these people in the past three weeks: Alyssa Milano (in my work's lobby, no less), James Murphy (who eats at the same underground 19th century French bar as I do!) and Andre 3000 at the Hudson Hotel (okay, that was my better half, but still).
I want to talk to you about music.

I took this video in Austin when I saw the great Mexican rock band Cafe Tacuba perform.
I want to share.

murder was the case that they gave me
Brooklyn band Professor Murder knows where its at. Deadly synths, 'ard drums and beards to make you wish it was winter all year long. Sink your teeth into obese beats and their slinky rockism.
I just saw Kyp Malone in my grocery store. He likes apples.

wizard of oz beats
if anti-pop consortium wrote science-fiction
Ted Chiang is old news to any witty SF reader. But, many folks need to read this guy's work. He writes slow like Junot Diaz or Djuna Barnes. 8 stories and most of them have won top awards, make up his only collection, Stories of Your Life. Cold prose, meticulously beat-matched (word-matched?) and filled with wonderful ideas. Smart fiction without the pretentiousness. I heard about him from Jace, who posted about him a while back.
dreams, dreams, dreams
Spanish synthesizers should be deported!
dr. dre and jay-z email each other!
Dr. Dre, the dude who made that rap George Michael, according to the most reputable source on the planet, The Daily News is e-mailing a few beats for Jigga's new "I said retirement?" record and the King of New York is going to zip some lyrics into his Gmail account.
You can put this next to your Detox album and that bag of unicorns.
