Currently hard at work on the follow up to the debut Le Sac vc. Pip album " Angles ", Scroobius Pip has taken time out to share some of his Spoken Word favourites. Most of the seven are purely spoken word pieces, uncluttered by any music. They cover the old favourites right up to modern classics from the current champions of a vibrant scene. Back in December fellow MLD writer Ryan did a loosely Spoken Word themed compilation , and hopefully I'll get round to doing my own soon. For now [...]
.... She dives into the lake and comes up with her head covered in muck and great kelpy strands of green pond slime - and beaming in a way that practically radiates out over the face of the lake and the desert. She has surfaced euphoric - 'Ooooooh! It sparkles!' -Pulling her long strands of slime-slithering hair outward with her hands and grokking and freaking over it - 'Ooooooh! It sparkles!' -The beads of water on her slime strands are like diamonds to her, and everybody feels her feeling at once, even Sandy - 'Ooooooh! [...]
The live music highlight of last week was seeing Ross Flournoy at the Little Room at Largo. That's a great little spot to see music. With the future of the Broken West in doubt, it was great to see him perform a couple of new songs along with some Broken West classics.

Legendary poet and musician Gil Scott-Heron has announced plans for his first new studio album in 15 years. As a posting on his official website indicates, the Chicago native will release I'm New Here in early 2010 via XL Recordings. Also included on said website are snippets from four of the album's songs, "A.M", "I'm New Here", "Me and the Devil", and "I'll Take Care of You". Now, all this is pretty big news because the album will not only mark Scott-Heron's followup to 1994's Spirits , but his first new release since [...]
In what I can only describe as the best use of video on a music related website since Kutiman's Thru You project, the preview to Gil Scott-Heron's new album I'm New Here is simply fantastic! Check out the website in question here. As the site says, I'm New Here is due out in early 2010 [...] No related posts. Related posts brought to you by Yet Another Related Posts Plugin .
This week's Monday Mix Tape is a soul affair, as former DMC wunderkind A-Trak eases you into the working week (for all non-UK folk, anyway - it's Bank Holiday/ Notting Hill Carnival weekend here in London Town!) in fine style on Welcome To Kanye's Soul Mix Show . A few years back, Trizzle - who has gone on to even bigger things since his DMC days by co-founding the Fool's Gold record label and slotting into the role of regular tour DJ for Kanye West - put together this soulful [...]
Many things can be said about Gil Scott-Heron and his place in music, or poetry, or culture. I'm not really interested in that. What I admire about Gil is his ability to connect facts with the symbolism that puts it into perspective. His ability to put a voice to anger, a cut on rhetoric, and connect with people. We could use someone of this voice these days. A messenger with a message, and the strength to stand up and say it. Better yet, someone that can see things for what they are, or at the very least, what [...]
The poetry of Gil Scott-Heron spoke for the wretched of the earth-- his concocted third-world revolution was fearsome enough to stand in for the real thing. Since denying the addictive properties of... Continue reading "Tonight! Gil, Elvis, and, If You Must, the Decembrists" >
The child told them "My Daddy ate out my eyes". After neighbors found the injured child in the apartment he shared with his father, they found Angel Vidal Mendoza dusted in a wheelchair, in the backyard of a nearby vacant residence hacking his own legs with an ax.

We Almost Lost Detroit MP3 File
When you hear people speak of Gil Scott-Heron's Pieces Of A Man, they often relish over the more politically charged "The Revolution..." and "Home Is Where The Hatred Is." But for my listening this week, the more personal "Or Down You Fall" ended up getting a few plays. "Go away I can't stand to see your face Cause you've seen the weakest me And you know I'm only human Instead of all the things I'd like to be..." Gil Scott-Heron - "Or [...]
Ride Out and Terry Cole lend their take on Gil Scott Heron's classic about the Detroit Riots . After Mitch Albom spoke on the unsettled souls , its serves as further detail to dismay. Not all props go to Ride & TC though, as fellow Detroit emcees Marquis Porter and Natas both had their versions out previously.

Hello Sunday Pas de prédiction folle pour 2009, année encore fumante des entrailles de 2008. Une simple envie de retourner dans ses disques. De passer un après-midi frais dehors au chaud à l'intérieur, en compagnie de ces galettes de plastiques. D'avoir le plaisir de se retrouver les doigts couverts de poussière... Mythologie Tout ce 1° paragraphe n'est que mythologie, belle histoire d'un dimanche. La crue réalité est toute autre : il me fallait ranger mes disques dans un nouveau meuble. Un [...]

yerp. here's what the e-mail i got said about this event: Outside of thinking about Arctic circles of light, witches, mammals, the cold, addiction, late stage capitalism, power, what blog your going to view tonight and why, money, feral intuition, OXYGEN, patriarchal religion, and things of the sort...... THE BIG DAY HAS ARRIVED. IT IS BEAT GRINDER'S 6TH B-DAY (DEC 17TH). AND WE WILL BE CELEBRATING WITH THE SPIRIT OF GIL SCOTT HERON IF YOU HAVE BEEN BEFORE, YOU KNOW THE DRILL! RAW HIP [...]
A while back Don emailed to tell me about Michael Marra a Dundee born musician who had done a song about a legendary Dundee United 'keeper. He also mentioned in passing about another Marra composition - this one about another legend who played for one of the Glasgow teams and has sadly just passed away today . Former Celtic player Gil Heron has died at the age of 87. He passed away in a nursing home in Detroit on Thursday, November 27. Born [...]
"Okay, so the woman then steps out of the limo and says to the driver...no, no. She doesn't say a-anything to the driver. The driver just knows..." Woody Allen is sitting at his computer, which has a blank screen. On his desk, however are hundreds of tiny sheets of paper, containing the script of his next untitled film. "What about if he just, just says, 'it was nice getting to know you,' and she replies, 'it was nice getting to know me, too,' and then she steps out of the limo to a hundred flashing lights, [...]
A few of us here at Stranger Dance fled the DC area to get away from politics, but even we've gotten caught up this election season. Having said that, I'll be happy when it's all over and we can start moving forward. However, if you just can't get enough of this battle, you can even check out the candidates top 10 songs thanks to imeem. Not surprisingly, Barack's list features some more modern artists (Kanye West, Fugees, etc) along with some R&B classics (Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, etc). We've already discussed McCain's love of Abba [...]
