Who's ready for some M.I.A.?

M.I.A. is coming out with a second album, Kala. I, of course, am looking forward to it - although I can't help but wonder if another artist is out there to steal her thunder, much the way I (courtesy of friends) feel that M.I.A. stole Lady Sovereign's thunder by putting out the album that should have been the SOV's second album?

Poll!

Please read through this site which frames the argument, then vote in the poll on the right here at Genius Juice.

Competition for Simplify Media?

Came across Anywhere.FM today - much like Simplify Media, but claims to upload everything rather than requiring you to leave your main music box turned on. Free with unlimited storage for now, we'll see if it stays free/up/in business.

Don't eat the yellow snow.

But it's OK to drink the yellow water.

Not hip-hop, but...

I hope you'll forgive me for going off-topic, since it is only to provide a taste of what we've all been missing by failing to attend Daft Punk's concerts.

More Geto.

Continuing the hip-hop theme for today, more Geto Boys-related videos can be found here (Star Wars) and here (Sesame Street).

Freestyle!

I'm hoping that this video of some fly freestyle will inspire C-Rap to put some beats down behind another freestyle and post it on YouTube.

Funny! Not Funny!

If this dude is real, it's not funny, I suppose. Otherwise, witness a guy who thinks he is Smoove B's white brotha from anotha motha, has a doctorate and would like you to know about it. Unlike Smoove, however, he is probably a douche.

Good song, annoying review.

Always glad to see the Geto Boys get recognized for more than songs from Office Space, but I kind of think I'd slap this reviewer to shut him up if I actually had to listen to any music with him.

How High? New York Child Mentoring program gets a new role model!

Umm... what prosecutor really believes that any kid will listen to Method Man talking about the dangers of drugs?

Item!

Forbes.com now has a hip-hop section.

Is it TV season yet?

Football season is approaching, as is the long nine months of crap-ass weather here. I will be watching FOX a week from today at 8pm in hopes of kickstarting the resurgence of my TV habit.

I don't believe in horoscopes.

But this thing is uncanny. I'm floored. And a Pisces.

WTF?!!!?

I cannot begin to explain how ashamed I feel that I've never thought of attending this Baranof event.

Funny!

This police chase is not as funny to me as my earlier post about cops harvesting marijuana, but it's still pretty funny.

Sad or funny?

I really am having a hard time making a decision on this capuchin's plight. Also, will John Leguizamo or Gilbert Gottfried do his voice in the movie based on a true story?

More disappointment.

Molly Hatchet's album covers may lead one to believe that they are the long-sought-after band to rule them all, but careful listening reveals a lame Skynyrd rip-off.

That Kanye, he crazy!

For some reason, I'm reminded of that Dwayne Wayne kid from the Cosby Show spinoff, A Different World. I'm not ready for this stuff to be back yet.

Fascinating.

Can't wait to try this out when I get home. Oh, the possibilities! I'm led to believe that you type words and the player spits out snippets of matching song lyrics.

Shhh!

Don't let that moose know that you're laying a hand on your bible to pray for extra-special Baby-Jesus aiming powers! Apparently boldly proclaiming one's faith doesn't extend to our national forests.

Dare we attend an all-ages show?

Dan Deacon at the Vera Project 9/6, 7:30pm. Can he be appreciated sans alcohol? The $7 ticket price helps convince me that the answer is perhaps.

Bumbershoot: Do I Care? Update

My care factor for Bumbershoot continues to fall each year. This time, the one day I would even consider attending (Magnolia Electric Co., The Shins, The Saturday Knights, Menomena, Panic! at the Disco) will likely lose out to a one-year-old's birthday party. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club would possibly merit a Sunday visit if I could justify the ticket price to see a single band.

Another concert to attend?

The jury's still out - will I be at Key Arena on December 3rd? Please feel free to congratulate me for avoiding the inclusion of any song lyrics in this post and its title.

Crazy Cops.

Police officers decide to harvest 3,000 marijuana plants, get really... um... "exhausted and dehydrated," need to be rescued. There's humor here somewhere...

Sad Cookie Cat

You are the classic Shakespearian tragedy of the lolcat universe. The sad story of a baking a cookie, succumbing to gluttony, and in turn consuming the very cookie that was to be offered. Bad grammar ensues.

I will let you all know what the view is like from the buses in hell.
