I wish I was P.O.S.
I don't care if they're cartoons. I wanted to see them so bad. The whole trip would have costed so much, so I lost motivation. Sadness!
Celebrate Women in Music

Nerve & DJ Arkitekt - The American Lowlife LP
Not a mixtape, but it's getting released as one, so I'll treat it as such.
Matching Wits Talks to Teenager Vol. 1
They've got talent, and one dude kinda raps like Del a bit. BUT...please don't just rhyme over popular songs, and call it a mixtape. I don't know, I guess when the bigger rappers flip beloved tracks it seems alright. Here, it just seems like copyright infringement.

Afrika Bambaataa
Here's a (belated) review (if you can call it that) of the Afrika Bambaataa show. I wrote it in a rush last week. I hate reporting on some shows, because they turn out completely different than I intended, and it really sucks. That's how I felt this night. Reminded me of being at Coolio.

King Otto - Dilla Mix
Gotta love Dilla, he produced so many beloved hip hop tracks. Here's King Otto's homage, that he spun live back in 2006 at his regular gig at King and I Thai. Wonder why it's resurfacing again...an anniversary? I'll have to do some research.

The Hub seeks a mural painter
"The Hub Bike Co-op is seeking proposals from local artists to paint a mural
on the east-and south-facing walls of our store at 3020 Minnehaha Ave.
South. To be considered a mural by city licensing entities, it cannot
have content directly associated with the business on which it is
painted, in our case bicycles. We are raising
funds to pay for materials and an artist's stipend. Here's the catch: We
don't own our building, and the landlord doesn't want anything
permanent to be painted on it. But everything else is okay. Painting on
Tyvek, sheetmetal screwed into the concrete, whatever you can come up
with. Let us know what your experience is, how long it might take you,
when you could start and an approximate cost, and send some samples of
your work, if you have them. Thanks, The Hub"

Gorillaz "Plastic Beach"
Three songs into "Plastic Beach," and already the album has proven its brilliance.
I remember buying the first Gorillaz album way back in the day, the day it came out, insisting to my friends this band was gonna be the hugest thing ever. I'm so glad I was right.

Valentine's Day
Going to see this tonight, hope it's good. Maybe if I can get over the fact that Taylor Swift's in it, and she's all over Team Jake (or, as I like to call him, Jailbait):
Shout Out Louds
I have been in love with this band since Howl Howl Gaff Gaff (2005). I don't get why they aren't bigger than the Super Bowl by now. Adam Olenius is sort of unreal, compared to the super-cool looking, tight-jean wearing, detached rock boys infecting the scene. I love him:
Super Bowl or pray?
When the TV stops working right before the big game, a group of teens wonder, "What would Jesus do?"

Snow
You need to go away
I wanna go and play
But there you are
So cold
Bitter
Endless
Vacant
Chilly
Messy
Dirty
Icy
Slippery
When agitated
Frigid
Impossible
To get used to
I am 100% Minnesotan
But this is ridiculous
I am so over you

Phoenix Phenom > Black Eyed Peas
So, here's the story of how Black Eyed Peas allegedly ripped off Phoenix Phenom to make "Boom Boom Pow":
Which appears likely, since Fergie ripped off two JJ Fad songs to make "Fergilicious":
I stumbled upon this because Phoenix Phenom's song reminded me of JJ Fad's "Supersonic," which I used to rock out to before I was a double digit:

Local nonprofits and coops
Here are some cool organizations worth checking out. I have them here to help me out with story ideas, but this would be a great resource for those seeking internships, volunteer opportunities, or organizations in which to become a member or donor. Here they are:
Critical Mass is a monthly bike ride that honors a cyclist's right to the road. Here's a video of stupid cops messing with cyclists, which has been known to happen during rides.
Substance is an organization merging activism with the arts to promote social change. Rage Against The Machine performed at a Substance event during the RNC.
