So… if you weren’t at Terror at the Mall last night at Grand Avenue, you missed these guys “totally shut that bitch down” (quoted from their tweet). Anyway, that’s exactly what they did, and to top it off they dropped their first web tape today. TCS is doing three web tapes before the end of the year: Halloween, Thanksgiving, and
Read moreYou can check out the newest tracks from JC Poppe’s upcoming albums, “Shadowlands” and “Tea Party” by using this fancy dancy playlist thing down here: These will be Poppe’s second albums (How does that work? If they come out at the same time, is it like twins, or what?) after his album “Sleep Therapy” which came out in 2009. Anyway,
Read moreApparently, I’m not the only person who thought this was possible. Glad to see somebody took the time to put it together. Sounds awesome.
Read moreGo vote November 2nd. AND by tweeting or emailing someone about going to vote, you can get this mixtape, presented by DJ Willie Shakes (Hey, he scratched on that Cranberry Show track I prod…. nevermind) Anyway, the mixtape features 15 tracks, including local music from S.A.F.S. Crew, and a Lupe freestyle. Go get it by following the link here.
Read moreI don’t like Wocka Flocka Flame. This is his song “Hard In Da Paint”: However, there’s this parody. I give you Baracka Flacka Flame’s “Head of the State”: Don’t say the n-word.
Read moreThis is interesting, if nothing short of useless to me… yet. Apple unveiled the Mac Airbook Software Reinstall Drive today. Essentially, it’s a flash drive, with a program on it. Techcrunch can explain it much better than me. They also announced the Mac App Store, which is assumed to be pretty much the same thing as the Iphone/Ipod/Ipad app store.
Read moreSpin Magazine released this free tribute mixtape to honor Bad Religion, as well as 30 years of the Epitaph Record label. The mixtape features artists like Guttermouth, Cobra Skulls, and The Riverboat Gamblers covering Bad Religion classics. Nobody dared touch “Fuck Armageddon, This Is Hell” though (my favorite Bad Religion song). This thing is a trip, though. In addition to
Read moreCatchy ass dance music. Plain and Simple. I just reviewed their demo for Marquette Radio, and I’m hooked now. There’s six songs on the demo, all very radio friendly, and I’d be more than willing to bet you get a chorus stuck in your head for a while after listening to it. There’s a pretty obvious 80’s dance influence, but
Read moreHere’s the backstory: I am a huge Ramones fan. They’re the greatest punk band, and the original punk band, despite what my co-host, Steve (@Tellemsteve) tries to tell me. (The Sex Pistols? really?) Anyway. This is the product of Dee Dee, the original bassist from The Ramones, taking a shot at a hip hop career (that several people told him
Read moreQuick Weekend Recap: I saw Henry Rollins speak at UWM Friday night, and it was nothing short of amazing. Henry’s been doing spoken word since his days in Black Flag, and has figured out the formula to captivate an audience. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find a video from his UWM appearance, but this is earlier on his spoken
Read moreMy friend Tom sent me this video yesterday. This is Lissie. She’s from Rock Island, Illinois. She does an awesome cover. I actually like the cover better than the original version. Whenever someone can do that, that’s something special. At least for them. You can check out Lissie at her official website by clicking here.
Read moreIf you don’t know this dude, you should. (see Gerald Walker / Dose Of Dopeness links on the side). This is his latest promo track, “Nah Baby, There’s A Reason Why I Left Your Ass”, based off the Marsha Ambrosius track “I Hope She Cheats On You (With A Basketball Player)”
