http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =NLyvszhFAC4 Via the inimitable Alfred Soto , comes this 1984 Buchanan/Braden Program clip, featuring Gore Vidal at his most marvelously mordant: alleging that Lincoln was syphilitic, eviscerating the idea of the film auteur, and dismissing Ernest Hemingway as a glorified Field and Stream writer with a gift for publicity.

Whenever I listen to Eric B I feel super bad ass. It's quite a pleasant feeling. Eric B & Rakim - Microphone Fiend
The 31st installment of I Used to Love H.E.R. , a series in which artists/bloggers/writers discuss their most essential or favorite hip-hop albums and songs, comes from Aaron Lacrate , an influential piece in the ever-popular Baltimore club scene who recently has contributed to the Delicious Vinyl RMXXOLOGY compilation . He's also teamed up with Delicious Vinyl to form the new record-label imprint Delicious Gutter . Eric B. and Rakim Know the Ledge ( Don't Sweat the Technique , MCA, 1992) [...]
Karmaloop TV was in the building with Green Lantern @ Rock the Bells. Here are a few flicks with some of the performers. SMH @ me for not going. De La Jay...Electronica Rakim
The image associated with this post is best viewed using a browser. Greetings from "at large"! Like any good penitent, my self-imposed blogging exile has included certain dietary restrictions. Fer instance consuming as little music released in 2008 as possible. But spending the day slopping about in music-related nostalgia is still OK, because otherwise I would have to turn to Jack Van Impe reruns or honest work. That's why this weekend, while Maura was taking in the horror what Fat Mike and/or the Get Up kids wrought , I was at the Rock The Bells tour, a package deal [...]
This weekend I will be attending Rock The Bells in Toronto/Missasauga...Which I`m super excited for....Some of the acts performing at this years event are A Tribe Called Quest Mos Def The Pharcyde (reunited!!) Kidz In The Hall [...]
Just a reminder: Salim opens up for legendary emcee Rakim tonight at Sonar, along with his band and Wendel Patrick . Get the details here . This is your chance to see the creators of two of Baltimore's Top 10 Albums of 2007 in one place. Here's hoping everyone had a good week and got some time off work. I'm enjoying some vacation myself, so I'll see you in a few days! Tags: any given tuesday , [...]
Alright, Baltimore: Hip hop is woven into the fabric of this city. If you haven't already heard about Salim (www.salimmusic.com), you need to (a) check out his debut LP, Hip Hop Revisited ( read the Any Given Tuesday review ), one of the best Baltimore albums of 2007 and (b) head to Sonar on 12/28 to watch Salim as he and his band open up for Rakim . Yes, Rakim. One of the best emcees on the face of the Earth (running neck and neck with KRS-One in this writer's book) has asked [...]
for your birthday. That classic Ghostface line is a perfect way to start off Shane's Larry Bird year. Probably because we are older than 95% of the people blogging about music, but more so because we came from Halifax (where everyone knows everyone), Shane and I have been hanging out more or less sense '91. That's a long ass time. So long that the old skool classics were tracks we pumped in our yellow Sony Walkmen and floated in the pool like Nice & Smooth . Here are a few classic tracks, complete with the [...]
After the boom in page hits when I posted a Beirut remix of Jay-Z I decided to look into this further. I posted some more remix tracks that I already had from Beirut's 'The Remixes Volume 2' and I also managed to find Beirut's myspace page and I brought you all a link to download 'The Remixes Volume 2'. I also recieved an email from Beirut himself, someone had passed him a link to my page (I think through the SOHH message board). Here's some of what he said: [...]
You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video A special collaboration between some of hip hop's heavyweight hitters in celebration of the Nike (can you say SWEATSHOP?!) AF1's 25th anniversary . The original song was produced by Rick Rubin and this hot remix has DJ Premier's touch all over it. It's great how he hooks up the MPC at the beginning like he is on a calculator. dj premier , nike , nas , kanye west , [...]
Redefining the word " weekly " its been two months since the last of the promised weekly trawls through my analogue past. I should probably bin the piles of dusty VHS's but when the first one you put in comes up with some vintage punk funk go-go goodness from The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy, I just can't do it. The Word was essential " back from the pub " viewing in the 90's, with its winning combination of granny snogging, shabba ranks baiting, and debut tv appearances from the likes of Oasis and Nirvana. As Terry Christian introduces [...]

Here's the OS/OHW Wednesday video for this week: Run DMC ~ " Walk This Way " http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =9AKaV911uJA How Rap music saved Aerosmith's Career. Lyrical Exerpt: Seesaw swingin' with the boys in the school and your feet flyin' up in the air, I sing "Hey diddle diddle" with your kitty in the middle of the swing like you didn't care. So I took a big chance at the [...]
I imagine most of the people reading this have read Ian Cohen's rarely updated Sexy Results blog at one time or another. And if you're like me, you probably miss those halcyon days when Ian wasn't taking over Hollywood and instead was focused on the infinitely less lucrative, but infinitely more valuable task of providing the Internet with a trenchant analysis of everything sports, hip-hop and indie rock related. But be forlorn no longer, as I'm proud to present the first in a hopefully continuing series of [...]
Sell out nuthin! This is all about tippin 40s, gettin paid and kickin it. How could that be wrong? Billy Dee Williams knew what was up. Taking a cue from Lando himself, St. Ides stepped up and brought the HEAT! There are so many of these commercials floating around. They even got pressed up on vinly a while back. Enjoy, and let me leave you with my favorite St. Ides quote... "I sit alone in my 4 cornered room eatin a wing diner..." Geto Boys Download audio [...]
