HAPPY FRIGGIN NEW YEAR!
Lets kick some major ass in the next one.

So my K’Naan feature made it to MetroPop a while back and I forgot to post about it. I like the feature, but due to the space constraints of writing for a magazine, I am not entirely happy with the result. The reason – K’Naan doesnt really fit into a one page article – you could seriously write a book on the mans life and the topics he brings up. Article notwithstanding, my interview with him was an amazing experience, and thanks to my mentor/editor at Metropop for turning it into something readable.

Other than that, its been a good one so far. I’ve got a lot of things I’d like to write about, so hopefully I get around to that. In the meantime, MRI has a new post up, so go check it out.

Take ‘er easy, dude.

Evil Nine (Ft. El-P) – All The Cash (Glitch Mob Remix)
Can’t stop listening to this. El-P’s density is his most attractive asset, and that’s not a fat joke. Like most of his tracks, his lyrics are a grower, but the beat here is instantly accessible (a shower? too much). Regardless, the louder the better, and the dense lyrics ricochet off the Glitch Mob’s drums like stray bullets.

Heard this at Le Pouission Rouge (worst. venue name. ever.) last weekend while Glitch Mob fucking KILLED EVERYONE…including their shitty opening act.

Thats all I got. Work has been wicked busy, and if anyone is going to be in Minneapolis next week. Call me. We drink the beers.
