Easy Like Tuesday Morning
Back home in Brooklyn. The Bay was big fun; pictures coming from Nash and Dusk real soon. We tried to muster up enough nerd to put something up while in PST - that was the original plan - but then it was like, nah, let's get a burrito. Or drink this beer. Or both.
1. First things first: me and Jones join forces with our people over at interrupcion* tomorrow to have a big old Wednesday night throwdown. Flyer's here. I'm on summer vacation for the next couple weeks so expect lots of happy shit.
2. Did Amerie's 1 Thing just not hit that big in certain pockets of the world? Dropped the Juelz version at the fundraiser Friday, expecting the sizable quotient of inebriated white girls to lose their collective shit (ew), but I got nothing. I think I even heard that little cricket noise they play in cartoons. Tell me, gentle readers: was it me, the crowd, or geographically-provoked disparities in Top 40 radio play throughout the contiguous United States?
For what it's worth, my money's on the crowd. Anytime drunk people don't respond to Shorty Swing My Way into Still Tippin', you know you might as well just break out the Maroon 5 and call it a night. Shit was fun, though, because my man Shan Li can still dance real, real good and they had these free asparagus/prosciutto jumps.
3. This Fernet stuff is my new drink. After drinking a bottle of it and listening to Paul Wall, I remember thinking it was kind of like syrup for European white people - which, somehow, was not a bad thing. Plus it kind of tastes like roots.
4. Huge shout to Gabriella and Ali over at Mama. They make the most thorough R.I.P. shirt ever: Mac Dre, Charizma and Soulja Slim? YES.
5. Low B, Philly's grinding-est (and that's saying a lot), somehow found time to bless the world with a free May mix.
