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.

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.

My Big Brother Finally Fucking Did That. Proud Of That Nigga Cause I Know That Shit Is Difficult Or Whatever. Anyway. Im A Toilet.

The above Jeff the Brotherhood video for Six Pack has the Nashville sibling duo canoeing with their friends and enjoying some booze. The song itself, “Six Pack”, is produced by Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys. The video is NSFW because there are slight shots of wangs but it’s not gross and you kinda respect a band that has a party video that has women in bathing suits present in it but do not have to use boobs to keep your attention. Dudes doing cannonballs with babes in a river. Do you actually own swimming trunks? If so; did you buy them at Target? Or did you go bathing suit shopping with one of your friends. I have never gone bathing suit shopping with any of my dudes. I’d rather let my nuts hang.
Jeff the Brotherhood will be playing the Basement in Columbus, Ohio, 08/01/2012 in support of their upcoming album Hypnotic Nights which drops 7/17/12. This album was c0- produced by Jeff the Brotherhood and Dan Auerbach.

MP3: Theophilus London – “Rose Island Volume 1”
When I interviewed Theophilus London for the Other Paper last week the Brooklyn rapper described his new tape “Rose Island Volume 1” like this:
What can we expect from Rose Island?
You know how kids from the ’80’s love shit from the ’50s? I am getting back to my Marvin Gaye influence. I am shutting out this whole world that exists today. It’s not inspired by any artists from this past decade or anything. It’s me back to my pure essence. It is not MP3-type music or commercialized music. I called it Rose Island because it’s an island far away from what’s going on with this Internet shit.
Rose Island Volume 1 guests include Marvin Gaye, A$ap Rocky, Big Boi, Sade, and Lunice
Read the full The Other Paper interview with Theophilus here.
Ohio based art collective Higher Level Art spoke to TEDxCincy earlier this month about transforming sometimes sterile spaces like classrooms and corporate offices into vibrant and engaging creative zones via technics learned from their graffiti experience.

Aesop Rock dropped a video for ZZZ TOP off his upcoming album Skelethon which comes out 6/10/12 on Rhymesayers Entertainment. No, Aes Rizzle is not rocking cheap sunglasses and a beard as the name of the song might make you think.
This is a kung fu jump-off.
I guess kung fu was in the air yesterday as RZA announced his upcoming Kung Fu movie The Man with Iron FIst will feature music from Kanye West, The Black Keys, Wu-Tang and Wiz Khalifa according to Consequence of Sound.
