Sleeper of '09....




The Black Keys + a bunch of MC's = a really good album. I slept at first because it's Dame Dash's project but in early December I checked it out and was really impressed. Top notch production which nicely combines The Black Keys' dirty blues and soul sound with an East Coast Hip Hop aesthetic. There are some interesting combos of MC's as well, which usually, but not always, work.

It's been a slow build but I'm glad to see the Blackroc project is starting to really grab people's attention. If you haven't checked it our, it's worth doing so now.

Religious evil...




VENTING TIME: Pat Robertson, and those like him, are some sick, sick puppies. Tens of thousands of innocent people have died, and are dying, in Haiti and this old psycho is still alive & kicking and talking utter insanity. I'm not a religious man at all but If I was I'd think that "God's wrath" would be directed at Robertson & Co, not the already impoverished and suffering of the world. In fact, lightening would have struck him right in that TV studio if there was a "just" deity judging us all. Hey Pat, find a cliff somewhere. You know what to do. 'Nuff said.
