Frank Ocean To Appear on Jimmy Fallon Tonight
photographed by Nabil Elderkin
I love TV Music Moments. If Tyler & Hodgy Beats on Jimmy Fallon were Odd Future’s Fear on SNL moment. Then tonight’s Frank Ocean LNWJF appearance after publicly admitting to having been in love with a man is kinda like Elton John and Eminem at the Grammys.
Yessir, All eyes on Frank Ocean tonight as he will be backed by the legendary Roots Crew on National TV. His anticipated album Channel Orange drops July 17th.
Check your local listenings.

Columbus producer the Audio Unit laced R+B singer Jeremih on “Keep it Movin'”. This has a more classic ,soulful Electric Relaxtion vibe vs. Jeremih’s usual “Birthday Sex” sound.

Tonight In Columbus: Jason Locke Benefit
I’ll let Columbus Discount Records’ Bo Davis tell it:
This is a benefit for the family of the lead singer/ songwriter/ bassist of the old Waverly, Ohio band, The Convalescents (with Bo Davis, Kris Moss and Jarrod Rodriquez). Jason Locke died tragically and unexpectedly this past May. He was only 30 years old and leaves behind a wife and four young children. ALL money made at this show (door and merch) will go directly to the family.
$5 at the door.

Video: Riff Raff Parties With The Black Lips
In the above Noisey video, The Black Lips and Riff Raff link up to rock a show in Atlanta. After the show is the after party; Riff Raff has fun with the Black Lips puffing dro but complains about the lack of coke at the after party.
Side note, Riff Raff just played Columbus last weekend. Full review coming in the Other Paper Thursday!
I will say Riff Raff does love cocaine and blondes.
