I thought I'd go with a headline that would get some attention...

I was talking to Paul V today and told him about one of my fave nerdcore hip hop fellas, MC Frontalot, a SF-based rapper who is SUPER cool. Check out his site (http://www.frontalot.com), and download all his music (it's free). And here's a link to the track I was talking to Paul about, I *heart* Fags --

And to compliment that, I thought I'd toss in a couple more rap music oriented links. First off, we finished some more tracks from the new DJ Funken Wagnalls feat. Cottonmouth demo. Here are two of them:

I Think The Government is Watching Me
Archeteuthis (Squid Hunter)

Sorry for the WMA on Archeteuthis, but it's a working mix... A bit raw, but fun nonetheless, i think... maybe not...

And, finally, I have to point people to the new Eminem video on Guerrilla News Network. Some dude at GNN loves Eminem, I guess. It's a cool anti-Bush video and song. Mainstream rebellion. Find it here: And if that link is too slow, check at iFilm's viral videos channel:

OK, is that all? I think so. Well, it's not. Go book a trip on and let me know whaddup...

Like Ajay sez, sign the petition to resist Pano's plan to tear down the Atwater House and put in a parking lot.

Linky-link-link:

I've only lived in Buffalo for 2 years now. My wife's family is from here, but we came for the schooling. I have really enjoyed Buffalo, and one of the things I have come to appreciate in my time here is the significance of Buffalo Architecture. Since being here I saw the Harbor Inn tore down. I've also seen some great restoration work. I'd like to see more. And a better mass transit system. Not that the current one isn't functional; but more pleasant. Resurrect the Buffalo Trolley System? Hmm...

Wow, Soyeon's journal freaked me out. In the lab, no less. Then I came home and had to look at it again. And her entry about the photo critique is probably one of the best things I've read lately. Sums up a lot about the weird nature of graduate school...

Again, far too large for an (e:strip) sample, but here's a link to the latest... This is a demo version also; we're re-recording now that the arrangement is finalized...

Blackest Antics is here

Well, it's been too long, and I say that too much... . oh, well.

Given the current climate I couldn't wait to put out an ultra-raw super bootleg, straight off the working loop and raw vox, version of the latest DJ Funken Wagnalls feat. Cottonmouth track.

I Think the Governement is Watching Me (http://www.wdog.com/rider/swap/gov.mp3)

I can't fit a sample on (e:Strip), but it's a short track and about 1.5MB download.

Anyway, DJ Funken Wagnalls made a trip to Buffalo, and we recorded 12 songs in 4 days. Amazing, no? We're working on post-production now. It's going to be a good year for DJ FnW feat Cottonmouth, MC. Dave Logan is producing an animated followup to our first video, Futurology (http://www.wdog.com/dlogan/futurology), and it's looking farking incredible. Dave is a prodigy. And we'll have a new website launch in concert with the new album, which we're actually getting pressed and everything (via CafePress of course, ;). So it will be fun for all. Expect cool interactive goodies on the CD, too.


And to address some scary goings on this summer:

The Kurtz thing aside, has anyone heard about this? (http://www.sg1archive.com/nightmare.shtml) I mean, overzealous use of Patriot Act to investigate scientistic apparatus is one thing, but overzealous use of the Patriot Act to justify trashing a Stargate fansite owner's computer equipment on behalf of the MPAA?!? Holy crap. It's as if I feel some kind of brisk shiver which makes me less likely to post stuff to the Web, maybe better described as a _chill_ in the hot summer air... Or maybe that's just Buffalo...

Anyway, that's what I've been up to. What about you?
