Listen: Ill Bill – “Severed Heads of State” ft. El-P
Ill Bill from Non-Phixion? I would say Ill Bill is back but I don’t know if he left. I coulda been at a dance party or listening white noise last time around. Whatever the case; here is a new Ill Bill song that is produced by and features El-P. And it’s apocalyptic in a timeless manner because the end of the world is always coming.
ILL BILL’s “The Grimy Awards” hits stores on 1-29-2013, featuring HR of Bad Brains, A-Trak, El-P, Jedi Mind Tricks, OC, Cormega, Meyhem Lauren, Q-Unique, Shabazz The Disciple & Lil Fame of M.O.P., with production from DJ Premier, DJ Muggs, Pete Rock, Large Professor, Psycho Les, El-P, Ayatollah, MoSS, C-Lance & ILL BILL himself.

Video: Afghan Whigs and Marcy Mays – “My Curse” live at ATP
Columbus’s very own Scrawl played ATP’s “I’ll Be Your Mirror USA” in NYC this weekend, and in a nice surprise that you may have seen coming, Greg Dulli invited Scrawl singer (and Ace of Cups owner) Marcy Mays onstage to reprise her role as lead vocalist for the Afghan Whigs tune “My Curse.” A fan captured it in this video.
To put it in context, here’s a similar video (with better audio/video quality) from the Reading Fest in 1994:

MP3: Action Bronson- It’s Me (Prod. by Party Supplies)
MP3:Action Bronson – Its Me (Prod. by Party Supplies)
Above is a new song that Action Bronson twittered. Below is a video that Noisey put together of Bronson rocking “Bird On A Wire” at the Williamsburg Music Hall. At some point he hands out steaks that him and Vice brought for public consumption. Bronson later goes into the crowd during Riff Raff’s verse.
Action Bronson will be in Columbus, October 12th @ Skullys. I do not think he will feed you but he will probably smoke weed and carry drunk women is my guess. We are a smaller market.
