Video: Eyedea vs. Shells Blaze Battle
This is a super old video, but I felt like posting it in case there are still some of you out there who haven’t heard of Eyedea or at least haven’t seen this battle. I’ll let it speak for itself.
Lennon’s Solo Work Available Now on iTunes
(from antiMUSIC) If you don’t know what torrents are, or if you simply have a clean conscience you’ve probably been waiting for the works of Lennon and The Beatles to appear on iTunes for you to download. Not so much luck with The Beatles – some crazy dispute between two companies named Apple has been keeping them at bay – but now Lennon is downloadable and disposable throughout 16 different albums. As an added promo, for the first 30 days that these albums are on the market, exclusive video content will be included with the albums “John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band,” “Sometime in New York City,” “Walls and Bridges,” “Milk and Honey” and the collections “Anthology” and “Working Class Hero.” I haven’t gotten around to listening to all of his other works, but I definitely can vouch for Plastic Ono Band. It’s a winner.
Atmosphere to Tour with Mac Lethal, Grayskul, Lucky.I.Am
(from Rhymesayers’ email newsletter) The mail delivered excellent news today – Atmosphere’s coming to Dallas as part of a tour that several different Rhymesayers acts are taking part in to promote their new albums. Atmosphere, of course, will be promoting Sad Clown Bad Fall 10, a limited tour series EP (so be sure to snatch one up at the show), not to mention the recently released Sad Clown Bad Summer 9 and the upcoming full-length When Life Gives You Lemons… . Grayskul’s got Bloody Radio coming out, Mac Lethal is pretty dope from the little I’ve heard of him, and Lucky.I.Am is best known for his work with hip-hop group Living Legends (featuring Murs, The Grouch, and Aesop Rock), though I am ashamed to admit that I haven’t listened past a couple of downloaded tracks – Night Prowler is naturally one of my favorites, and lucky for you it’s on their MySpace page. Anyway, Slug’s going to be hitting the fledgling Palladium in Dallas on September 27. Rest of dates follow below.
