By Chris Gedos The New Jersey bubblegum band oh-so-ironically named 1910 Fruitgum Company was not a one hit wonder. "Simon Says" made it to #4 in March, 1968; "1,2,3, Red Light" and "Indian Giver" both reached #5 in '68 and '69, respectively. So why are all three songs so scarcely heard on OBG stations today? All three records sold over a million copies upon release, so where's the love? My only thesis is that overtly saccharine songs associated with the period between The Summer [...]

I once said to my ex that the most empowered I ever felt at Get Right (a testosterone-laden club night we'd go to in Columbus, Ohio) was the time the DJ played "Single Ladies." While the playlist for the night ranged from Pac & Dre's "California Love," an inexplicable favorite for a place extremely far from its setting, to Pharoahe Monch's "Simon Says" to 8ball & MJG's "Alcohol Pussy Weed", Beyonce's kiss off to a dude who didn't realize how good he had it was an anomaly. Until it reached its saturation point (Liza Minelli's cover in Sex [...]

Hip hop doesn't have to be complicated to be effective. Take Pharoahe Monch's 'Simon Says' for example - an anthem if ever I heard one. You know the one... chorus goes a little something like: "Get The Fuck Up/Simon Says Get The Fuck Up". That's not too hard to remember, is it? Of course, Pharoahe's verses on that song - and indeed, his body of work as a solo artist and as a member of Organized Konfusion - is punctuated by his intricate wordplay. Don't let the simplicity of 'Simon Says'' chorus fool you. But how [...]

I've just spent the last week partying in Brighton with some friends, both old and new - and all amazing, which was fantastic. We got bent to a wonky soundtrack all week, especially on the Thurs night at Donkey Pitch w/ Debruit and Slugabed which was rindonkulous! So I thought i'd share with you some rather large ish we were breaking our necks too... It would be wrong to pigeonhole Slugabed as merely another Dubstep artist trying to cut his own path. With elements of glitched up sounds, 8bit fills, wonky basslines and some off-kilter hip [...]
Simonsays , nous l'avons découvert lors du tremplin Génération Réservoir organisé par le web label Spidart. L'occasion pour nous de rentrer dans son univers... Simonsays, où des morceaux posés, des paroles slammées, accompagnées par la douceur d'un violoncelle... Nous l'avons finalement rencontré et soumis à l'exercice périlleux de l'interview Kool Kiss... Peux-tu te présenter ? Je suis un mec qui regarde beaucoup par la fenêtre en écoutant de la musique. Comme au cinéma, tout y est. Les gens, la photographie, la musique et les mots [...]
This past weekend's Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival featured a litany of great artists rocking the bass and the crowds at the Empire Fulton Ferry state park in Dumbo, including the inimitable Pharoahe Monch . This video, shot from way back in the crowd pit shows Monch's track "Simon Says", which turned out to be his final song due to time constraints and whatnot. But just look at the crowd in the tent guys. Insanity. Thanks to videographer B Conscious for the clip. (mp3) Pharoahe Monch - Simon Says [...]
