Rappers Delight
Mos Def + Lupe + Kanye kick a thirty minute freestyle at the Blue Note in NYC on Saturday night. Here’s the whole damn thing.
Infinite props to ALL THE WAY LIVE for coming through with the audio file. And much love to future famous person, Old Man Toch, for pointing me in the right direction.
This shit sounds like medicine. Loving the Robert Glasper Experiment’s accompaniment,...
Slapp Happy
I wish that I’d kept a music blog my whole life. I could go back and look at my blog posts about Billy Joel in 1993, The Wallflowers in 1996, The Foo Fighters in 1997, Garbage in 1998, Nine Inch Nails in 1999, then again in 2000 (that phase lasted a while). Eventually I got into classic rock, putting in serious time with Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd, and The Who, as well as somewhat lesser...

From the Wiki:
In 1995, Costner purchased Ocean Therapy Solutions, a company developing oil separation machines, from the US government for $24 million. The machines developed by the company were of little commercial interest until the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, when BP took six of the machines for testing in late May...

Busy weekend, I’ll post later I swear.
In the mean time a great blog called Cover Me posted some 33 live covers that the White Stripes did.

I've been cast in a musical
Yes, it’s true. I’ll be Larry Foreman in The Cradle Will Rock.
To commemorate the occasion, I thought I’d impose my limited knowledge of musical theater on you guys, just this once, promise.
