S.P. News/Sick

This is a good cover.

I'm sick, ladies, and by sick I don't mean sweet or cool or chicken salad. I mean I'm under the weather. This is an extremely inopportune time for me to be bedridden, so I've been strolling around infecting the unsuspecting masses with whatever it is that's ailing me. I am accepting get well cards, money, and leek soup, because like Ghostface, I eat that.

Remember when I told you to download Chrome Children Vol. 2 for free from Stones Throw & Adult Swim? Remember when you didn't do like I asked you to? That hurt my feelings, and now it's too late to make it better because Adult Swim took that shit down. Here's a chance to redeem yourself: Definitive Jux records, who release El-P, Cannibal Ox, Cage, Aesop Rock, etc. (apparently someone named Despot) have collabo-ed with the illest cartoonists in the game to bring you Definitive Swim. IT IS FREE AND THERE IS A SONG ON IT CALLED "GET RICH OR TRY DYING" AND IT IS AVAILABLE HERE.

Amon Tobin is a pretty cool musician. He just dropped a new album (I think just in the U.K. It doesn't drop here til later in March or April) last week that's called The Foley Room. He's used a bunch of collected, found sounds to make the record, which is more than you can say about your latest album. Anyway, it's supposed to have a DVD documentary coming out with it or after it or SOMETHING because here's a couple of video trailers for it: #1 and #2.

The Clipse just kicked off their tour last night, in Cambridge, MA, which everyone knows is the gulliest place to start a tour EVER. Malice & Pusha T are keeping it real hood this time around, playing shows in Wyoming, Utah, but not in New York, because they know like SP knows that Wyoming is a thousand times more gangsta than NYC.

I'm going back to sleep. Soup-ladies, you know where to find me.

cool calm pete strikes again! and on def jux. i think FMT and CCP should hook up based on similar meter. trochaic triameter is it?

amon tobin was all in my discman about 6 years ago and I totally forgot about him. permutation and supermodified had some smooth jams that you could chill out to! I also forgot about portishead/finley quaye/tricky. maybe i need to get my hands on NME. i need to brush up on my pete doherty crack stories anyway.

tee hee. i dunno, dude, i think be could go the distance. as i started reading your response, i was thinking, "why didn't he post this on fmt?" but then i realized you were fighting sah and you won. way to rep.

yeah i realized that after awhile, that i shoulda just put it up here, but i wrote that kerouac-style in like 10 minutes and figured it was like bombing a train, you can't just cap your shit and go to a safer location, you gotta be able to stand the heat. cuz there's a lotta heat over at SAH. wait...

just cuz you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not followin ya
