Two Heartland Heartthorbs, Kid Rock & Dale Earnheardt, recently teamed up with the U.S. Military. (You know the same people that brought us the IRAQI War and Vietnam) For this hot new vid. I caught this cool, hip, new clip while watching Kit Kitteridge with my little brother and a bunch of other children during a matinee showing at Carriage Place Movies 12. (more…)

I am one these jerks that makes fun everything I used to like. Cannibal Ox was my shit. It was Bladerunner music. The sound of New York City that fit the Kid A’s and Kiko’s. Futuristic and dangerous. Harlem standing up weird right before Harlem stood up louder, weirder and more dangerous. (Yet another Dipset referance) But Vast did say a word twice before because he is twice as nice around the same time Cam took 4 bars off.
So I was youtubing it up, looking for a verse off the Can Ox classic albumCold Vein. Didn’t find much. But I did find this verse I have never heard where Vast says “there are camera’s in my food, and soon you can download you.” Given we are the heels of another fixed election and or another example of Christians summoning the apocalypse(at least for our country) and possibly another Great Depression.Why not?
True dood sucked at Springfest 1000 years ago. But he is a Six Foot Nine 400 lb heretic from Harlem that will be stuck hanging out on Summit between Alden & Oakland. Thats funny to me.

J-Rawls is back with another installment of his Jazz Group, the Liquid Crystal Project. If all True School Hip Hoppers were warm, good doods like Rawls then I would be more inclined to not avoid the 4 Elements of Hip Hop concept like it was a syphallus infested meth addict personified. Boomin and Boomin in your jeep. This video takes me back to rocking Knit hats and Polo while listening to Tribes “We Got the Jazz”.

If you are a human being and consider yourself someone who likes culture, art, music or anything….. Basically, if you like anything at all and aren’t a terrible unhappy person for chrissakes watch the above video. It’s of last year’s Daymon Day Parade. Even if you are a terrible, unhappy person still watch the above video because maybe it will brighten you day. Seriously watch the video.
Anyway, the 3rd Annual Daymon Day Parade is upon us honoring Racist Joe aka So What born Daymon Dodson. We also tip our hats to Przm, Camu Tao, Heist, Phrite, Nasty Nate and anyone else that has passed away. This isn’t just about Daymon. It’s about making something negative into a joyous moment. Your devotions will find a vehicle.
The parade is starting at 5th & High this year. We were unable to secure a permit for Tuttle Park like previous years. But the good people involvedwith the Gay Street Festival downtown were nice enough to extend a stage to us so people could gather outdoors after the parade.
On that stage will be performances by Youth Attack’s Vile Gash, and The Catalyst (ODOT/Thought Set) DJ Detox and Tru Skills will hold the alley down between acts. The festival is free.
So this year the parade starts at 5th and High. It leaves promptly at 6. Our good friends at Milk Bar have offered us space to assemble. We will have dejays set up there at around 4. Milk Bar isn’t a pretentious boutique. It’s also not a bar. So kids are a ok. So everyone please feel comfortable.
Anyway. Columbus loved Daymon. Parades are fun. Walking in the middle of High Street during a game day only comes once a year. So even if you didn’t know Daymon you can feel free to show up. He made everyone at ease when he was out. So it’s that spirit that will be in place. It’s about enjoying life. Bring an instrument or drum to make noise. We are trying to have a marching band. If the marching bad turns out either atonal like a No Wave performance or as fluid as a New Orleans funeral band regardless it will be tremendous.
Here are a couple MP3’s by the artist performing after the parade. They are abrasive but fitting for this paticular legacy of Columbus Music.

When the MHZ moved to NY to solidify their friendships with Def Jux and EC, they would come home and tell us stories about living in a shitty apartment. Some of these experiences ended up on some of the Bagface 5 songs. I am assuming this video is of the Kitchen-Motel they stayed in.
“The only difference between the Wayans Brothers and the Smothers Brothers is that the Smothers Brothers are actually funny.”
Copywrite. The second he does something bizarre, like his pill enduced on-stage freak-out at the Catalyst release show, not the first episode that makes you shake your head in confusion, laughter and sadness; he follows everything up with appearing on the Legendary Bay Area program, The Wake-Up Show. I would say Allah Bless Pete Nelson. But nothing is that simple. Dood can rap.
Copywrite will perform with J-Rawls & Guilty Simpson @ Skullys Music DIner, August 29th.
Last month, Bizzy Bone made his Columbus rounds promoting his new album, A Song For You. The Thuggish-Ruggish Bustown native did an instore signing at my workplace Magnolia Thunderpussy, before doing the club thing at Major Woodys. Dood was hella cool, down-to earth,friendly and charismatic. It was a trip to watch Bizzy rap along with the music while chatting people up.
Copywrite was in the store today dropping off some of his mix cds and he put me on to this you tube footie of Bizzy’s Columbus escapades.
Peep Big Shows Car Shows from Weed Steeler getting his skateboard singed by Bizzy. You can’t miss me looking corny and fat in the background in the Vomitrocity tee during the instore. The Major Woody’s footie is cool cause it has the much beleaguered Bizzy getting treated like the star that he is from the hometown crowd.
Flight of the Conchords are coming to Columbus on Frday, and this new video is definitely getting me excited for the show.. Anyone know if there’s an opening act?
