Listen: Skyzoo – “Theo vs J.J. (Dreams vs Reality)”

Skyzoo raps from the perspectives of Theo Huxtable and JJ Evans on his new mixtape.:

Skyzoo explains:

With this project, I wanted it to be a bridge between “The Great Debater” and “A Dream Deferred”. This mixtape literally picks up where “The Great Debater” left off and leads you directly into “A Dream Deferred.” The tape is split into 2 parts, Theo Huxtable and JJ Evans. The first half of the tape has me rhyming as if I were Theo, with the world from his point of view. Being well off, having to live up to a family’s expectations due to their success, etc. The second half is from JJ’s view, with the sound being slightly more aggressive and the stories built with an “in need of something” attitude. The tape is the idea of the vast contrasts of a life that my people and I dreamed of and aspired to as kids (Theo) versus a life that was more of our reality (J.J). This one is for US. Enjoy
 ‘Theo vs J.J.’  leads you into Skyzoo’s upcoming album, “A Dream Deferred,” out 10/02 on The Faculty/Duck Down Music.

(egotripland)

No, muthafuckin’ Bill Murray did not sing karaoke in Columbus  last night as promised. No, this Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire joint made for Ruby Hornet.Com‘ Closed Sessions  Lost In Transition does not mention Bill Murray despite having a title that resembles the movie  Murray sings karaoke in but it is a good song and you could listen to it if you think that is something you would like to do.

Wednesday: Pomegranates @ Kobo

You know how there are local bands that sound local and then there are local bands that make you say, “No way can these guys be from here!” Pomegranates are one of those bands. Actually, they AREN’T from here (Columbus), they are based in Cincinnati, but they have that Austin/Silverlake/Brooklyn chic.

The band’s fourth album – the first for the Austin-based Modern Outsider (also home to Ume, Bad Veins, etc) – is called Heaven and if you think rock journalists haven’t described it as such, well, you’d be mistaken. Dual vocalists allow the band to avoid conventional trappings; there’s a variety of sounds and influences spread throughout, much of it straddling the line between underground rock and loft party dance pop.

Download: “Pass Away”

Pomegranates, She Bears and Cliffs will share the Kobo stage Wednesday night. Doors open at 8.
