It’s not bad so far. Still not as great as (impossible to find) The White Albulum though. (Here’s a taste tho.)

Anyway, just fucking download it. You need something new.

(From the Assimilated Negro.)

Download the set here.

P.S.: Portishead’s new album Third can be streamed in full at Last.fm right now. Yeah, I know I’m old, thanks.

Now, this just got out, so I don’t know anything about the reaction either Akon himself or his publicist, record company, etc. will have (they’ve already denied to comment), but as I see it, there’s only one solution, considering he’s in danger of becoming a 21st-century Milli Vanilli: to laugh it off.

The only move to save his career (and even then, we’ll see) would be, like: “Oh, you guys just figured this out? Huh, took you long enough, suckers.” Am I right? Because anything else will seem like backpedaling, he has no choice but to man up to the accusations and call everyone in the media an idiot for taking so long. Right? I mean, what else can he do?

The RSS feed is still here.

Also, for the next 3 months or so, Nokia is sponsoring the show. They sent me an N810 and I chat about it a bit in the thing. You can use the code “inoveryourhead” if you’re going to buy one, it’ll give you a 15% rebate on it (which is cheaper than Amazon).

So the plan is to do them every 10-14 days or so… feel free to harass me if I don’t (Podshow will, otherwise). :)

Goddamn, it’s a good thing I’m not in Toronto right now, because I’d be a 95 pound, cocaine-snorting groupie for Fritz Helder. Shit. This album is like a perfect combination of vogue, neon 80s and Grandmaster Flash or something. Anyway, whatever, go listen to it.

(P.S.: I grabbed the pic from riotclitshave, which always has great pics.)

The Seven Plagues of Modern Man, new tattoos, New York and Toronto are piece of shit cities. Etc.

My 150th show, done from the balcony of a hotel room during SXSW 2007. The state and future of the web and of media personalities, my position within the structure, and where I hope to be. It all came out.

This was a great show to do.

• Up All Night, by El-P (eMusic)
• Baby’s Coming Back To Me, by Jarvis Cocker (iTunes)
• Ave, Lucifer, by Os Mutantes (eMusic)
• Let My People Go, by Darondo (eMusic)
• L’idole, by Adonowsky (iTunes)
• The Captain, by The Knife (iTunes)
• Never Gonna Give You Up, by Rick Astley (Try it, it’s good again.) :)

I tag the following 7 people: Patrick, Anji, Clyde, Marko, Emcee, Ed, and Leesa.

Hey, here’s an article about my favourite female rapper, Bahamadia. It includes two downloadable tracks– check it out.

Have you ever seen something like this? Likely, you haven’t, and you never will– but have you ever considered why that is?

Next time you see someone singing on a subway, or in a public park, consider your reactions to it: the most basic of human activities, suppressed, now mostly reserved for television.

Notice how enthusiastic the metro riders are at the end, however. It’s likely they won’t see anything like this performance for a long time, and they know it.

Fear of shame, derision, and alienation control so much of our lives– but it’s pretty hard to be remarkable, and get noticed, if you can’t get past it.

Seriously, it’s criminal that we all have to pay for music that sucks when stuff like this is free. This Definitive Swim compilation puts the previous freeload stuff I’ve blogged about to shame. Go grab yourself some of this.

Do you guys detect a pattern here? A new way of making money with music? If I owned a record label like Definitive Jux or Stones Throw, I would release all my compilations this way.

(But yeesh, I send so many links in the direction of Adult Swim you guys probably think I’m getting paid by them.)

So I recorded this show last week that is to be my last ‘studio’ show in two months or so. So it’s rambling BS until that time! I’ll try to put some songs in there too, though, so don’t stress.

I don’t remember much of what I talked about on this show, except for the fact that RoboCop has a hot ass for no reason whatsoever.

My first regular show in about a month. I talk about the Homelessness Marathon, which is going on as I write this, about working through some of my long term goals, and the best t-shirt I have ever owned.

I also play a track from the band The Knife, which you should really check out. Click the picture, go listen to the tracks.

This may actually work! Mark Yoshimoto Nemcoff launched this meme the other day, Bum Rush the Charts, that’s attempting to send an indie artist to the top of the iTunes charts through a same-day purchase of one track. Here’s the blog in case you wanna follow what’s happening with it.

The way I see it, it can get even better than that: If we not only purchase the track, but I have a feeling this idea would catch on in social networking spheres (think Digg, etc.) – if we get enough attention, that would propel the purchases of this one track ever upward– who knows how far it could go.

This image so fascinated me earlier when I saw it on Philip Sherburne’s blog that I had no choice but to find out who these people were. It took me about an hour, but boy am I happy I did.

Readers, I introduce you to the Swedish band The Knife. I just bought their third album, and encourage you to do the same. Happy Friday.

Yeah, I know– talking about web ecology one day and then dance music the next. I’m not sure what’s going on with Julien, either… but listen up.

(Thanks Pitchfork, thanks Véro!)

Notes from being at a homeless shelter for a week, meeting the ex-girlfriend for the first time, and having no show notes whatsoever. Also, I literally end the podcast with 30 seconds of ‘blah blah blah’. Yes, really.

• RJD2 – Iced Lightning
• Jaylib – Nasty McFilth feat. Frank N Dank
• Jedi Mind Tricks – Omnicron feat. Apathy and Sun Pharaoh

(If you’re looking for somewhere to start, try this one… one of many great recordings.)
