Summerfest's little brother (ostensibly) is shaping up pretty nicely. They just announced a wild lineup to close out Summer with, and I tip my hat off to the organizers for including a respectable mix of established artists (Big Boi, Diplo, Passion Pit) in addition to regional heroes like Lucy Michelle & The Velvet Lapelles along with our favorite DJ and multi-instrumentalist, Big Cats! The fest takes place 8/9-8/11 in sprawling Somerset, Sconny. While you'd likely NEVER need to go to Somerset, WI otherwise, it's a gorgeous spot to camp and drunkenly float down [...]

I've been scared of Killer Mike for a while. Like the rest of the world, I first heard him on Outkast's "Snappin' and Trappin'", and for better or worse, I've never been able to shake the bullying nature of those verses. On what may have been Stankonia 's hardest song, Mike sounded like a giant, a modern-day Goliath that would step on anyone who had the balls to tell him that needing women "to gobble up jism like school lunches" was pretty misogynistic. Turns out Killer Mike is a giant, and a decidedly non-misogynistic one [...]
