Oh folks. There are good times to be had, and I am making damned sure that I have each and every one. Last night was no exception. After finishing off the last of my Oinkster burger I took a quick disco nap and then headed over to West Hollywood to party with some friends. Unspeakable [...]

Keith Thornton is a dude of many names. He's been known to go by Dr. Octagon, Mr. Nogatco and Dr. Dooom. Back in the day, he was an Ultramagnetic M.C. But for his new release , you can just call him Kool Keith , 'kay? That's right: The prolific emcee has just announced a brand new full-length, and he's not hiding behind any aliases on this one. Keith put together the provocatively titled Bikinis & Thongs with the help of producers Denis Deft and Yeti Beats . And if the video [...]
• In case you've ever wondered about the value of old NES Nintendo Games, or the people who pay for rare cartridges, here's a classic story of some nerd dropping $17,500 in the middle of a recession to own Nintendo World Championships Gold. Actually, it's not so much a "classic story" as it is a huge dweeb retelling the story about how he saw it on eBay and made an offer, then didn't get it, then got it, then almost got scammed, then finally got it. Coming soon to a theater near you. Starring the dude who had sex with [...]
Watched this luscious little gem on a big screen on Saturday night. Kool Keith is right: you've gotta throw people off.
Dr. Dooom (aka Kool Keith) - "Simon:"
First off, do you realize how many different aliases Kool Keith has? We were just browsing his site and came across all the aliases. Why Kool Keith's site is based in the UK, we don't know. He grew up in The Bronx, NY. Where's the connection? Don't know. At any rate, check out the aliases as broken down by Kool Keith himself at the end of this post. Before we get into Dr. Dooom 2, here's a classic Kool Keith track you should know. From 1996-yes, Kool Keith has been around for a while [...]

Kool Keith (also known as Dr. Dooom , Dr. Octagon , or Black Elvis ) is returning to Austin after his sick performance at Fun Fest in November. This time around, Mr. Thornton will be playing at The Mohawk on Thursday with tickets going for $11 . Doors for this sure to be rowdy hip-hop show open at 8pm.

Is it possible that Kool Keith got to a point where he began rhyming so off beat that homeboy fell back on track? Umm – hold on – let me finish bumping his latest obscurity, Dr. Dooom 2 …well – no – not really. Like most Keith records – with the most recent exceptions being Black Elvis: Lost in Space and the uncharacteristically semi-melodic Diesel Truckers with Kutmasta Kurt – this Dooom sequel is for diehards only. No random rap virgins are popping this in and getting [...]
Hip-hop's champion eccentric, Kool Keith's influence on the landscape of contemporary hip-hop is incalculable; everyone from Lil Wayne to MF Doom has either directly or indirectly paid homage to the man of a dozen guises — each tribute more spaced-out and surreal than the next. On Dr. Dooom 2, Keith reprises the role of the gonzo, serial-killing physician he created for 1999's First Come First Served. Like most sequels, Dr. Dooom 2 fails to live up to the heights of its predecessor. Keith has a tendency to run in [...]
Er, maybe not literally, but "R.I.P Dr. Octagon", the last single released by the Bronx-born rapper with almost as many aliases as fingers (this time under the Dr. Dooom moniker), gets remixed three different ways, but you the buyer gets six tracks. Each remix comes with its very own instrumental, so, that's pretty awesome. Tracklist: 01 R.I.P. Dr. Octagon (Memory Man remix) 02 R.I.P. Dr. Octagon (TomC3 remix) 03 R.I.P. Dr. Octagon (Junkaz Lou remix) 04 R.I.P. Dr. Octagon (Memory Man instrumental) 05 R.I.P. Dr. Octagon (TomC3 [...]
Everything all of the time is awesome when you don't have anything, but when you got something, it needs some room to grow. Quality control enabled (no math). You know Dr.Dooom... and now you know Dr.Dooom 2... don't look now, I'm right behind you. Fingerbanger 1: Dr.Dooom - I Followed You (download) -- I'm sick of the professional politician. I'm sick of the political supporters. I'm sick of the political media. I'm sick of everyone trying to push their agenda at every opportunity. I'm sick of those that buy [...]
Disinformation. A rouge country music label. Secret docs. Read. When I saw the post earlier this week on Kool Keith's new album under his Dr. Dooom alter ego, I was supper excited. I am a Kool Keith fan threw and threw—and being a Kool Keith fan you know that you share a rare enthusiasm with a small but demented fan base of comic book fans, pornfreaks, and a loosely knit alliance of glue sniffers. Exciting, but we need a little background. So first, Dr. Octagon In collaboration with Dan [...]
