Come to 222 Club at 222 Hyde at Turk in the TL this Thursday night. It's all chicks spinning for your dancing pleasure. Girls get in free, boys have to pay $5.
Caught the Busdriver/Daedelus/Antimc show at the Great American Music Hall last Saturday night. His RoadKillOvercoat album, produced by Nobody and Boom Bip, is outstanding. It's weird (even for him) yet more accessible, which makes no sense until you hear it for yourself.
Devin the Dude and the Coughee Brothaz are in town this week, on tour with Del tha Funky Homosapien and the homie BukueOne. Two shows at Slim's, tonight and tomorrow night.
Thursday night at 111 Minna, it's simply and appropriately called Rap Show. Check VinylExchange.com soon for some Junk Science and Iller Than Theirs giveaways.
Big ups to Pretty Titty of Seattle for coming down last week for Drip Drop, one of my fave monthlies. If you're paying attention you'll look for Krames's "Sound of the Police" remix.
Wednesday, October 24 = Wax Wednesdays with special guest DJ Authentic and residents RasCue and Stef. Every Wednesday at The Milk Bar. Gurp City will be in the house celebrating Thuggy Fresh's birthday.
Oh and don't you know the Wax logo (a tribute to the First Priority Music label) is Milk Dee approved? "Thanks for the love, you flipped it real hot."
A lot has happened since the Can Goods party--Serg's birthday dinner at Popol Vuh, Bomarr CD release party, Thread Show, Catchdubs at SuperFriends, Charlie's Pharmacy cocktail taste test... my boyfriend Serg's blog is the best source for the latest.
Can Goods today, Treasure Island yesterday, Catchdubs Friday night. Crazy weekend! Hope to actually see Bun B perform.
We have been laughing all weekend about the Slap party Friday night, Venue was switched from RX Gallery to Etiquette Lounge which looks nice from the photos, but is quite bizarre in reality (how upscale can you be at Market and 7th?). And not enough etiquette. Anyway, one of the owners apparently enjoys accompanying the DJs on his saxophone.
Catchdubs searches for tracks with sax.
Trackademicks is perplexed.
More of Serg's pics here. (Note the fine homoerotic artwork.)
Pics from SuperFriends with Low Budget here. We left at 1:30 and MIA hadn't shown up, so I doubt she did.
Yesterday at the Treasure Island Music Festival, performances were all good but one of the highlights for me was DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist's "Hard Sell" intro. Check it in five parts, from their Hollywood Bowl show, here:
Search YouTube for "hard sell," "shadow" and "cut chemist" and you'll find more.
Ryan Poulsen and I are DJing at Rasco's Birthday Party at Wax Wednesdays this week, playing all '80s and '90s hip-hop (on wax of course). Check out my Wax Wednesdays mix on VE Radio to get a taste.
Thursday, September 6 is the long-awaited Hard As Fuck party with DJs B.Cause, Morse Code, Matthew Africa and Shane King. (Thank you, KULT Radio.) Go Hard or stay home! Volume 3 of the Hard As Fuck mix CD series is available now from Beer and Rap or DJ B.Cause.
On Friday night he'll be at 222 Club with Purple Crush for the rave. I mean for Lights Down Low.
Seattle was a lot of fun. Big ups to Rapid Ric, Pretty Titty and Fourcolorzack for killing it at Sing Sing. Got new pink New Balances (on sale!) at Capitol 1524.
And then, it's Night of the Remix at Milk with special guest DJ Day, celebrating the release of "The Day Before," out now.
May recap coming soon, including highlights from M.O.P. In The Park, El-P and Mr. Dibbs at the Great American Music Hall, Versus Mag release party, and a bunch of other stuff that went down that I can't remember at the moment.
