Help!

It's been a pleasure sharing music with everybody, and I wasn't expecting any payout or anything, but now it's time to call in a favor or five.

My internet's going to be down for the next week or so, and that in itself isn't too bad except that I need to download certain torrents that seem to be fairly time-sensitive, meaning there are only a few seeders left.

If you can spare some bandwidth and can help a brotha out, please give me a call or shoot me an email (I can check at work).

I'd really appreciate it and will reward you greatly for work that would, in essence, make you my coke mule. Thank you much!

Cat... Power!

"That's more than a name, that's an attitude," said Madonna's character in the 1992 baseball chick-flick, A League of Their Own. It rings just as true today as it did back then, as Cat Power's The Greatest has indeed been dubbed the greatest, at least by the prestigious Shortlist Music Prize.

So what's the Shortlist? Since 2001, it's been probably the only annual music award that's been worth a damn. Nominated by fellow musicians, journalists and people who keep it real, the only requirements for an album to be listed are that 1. it was released within the previous calendar year, and 2. it hasn't been certified gold by the assholes at the RI-fuckin'-AA at its time of nomination. Previous winners include Damien Rice's O and Sufjan Stevens' Come On! Feel the Illinoise!

So congratulations to Ms. Power on this great achievement. Now it's time for a little rant.

Cat Power entries in big music blogs were fairly ubiquitous last year, which is understandable. Between the album and highly-regarded live shows, she deserves all the press coverage she's getting. The thing that bothered me, though, was that everybody kept calling her "Chan." Granted, Cat Power is really just one hep lady, but the un-ironic first name basis always annoyed me. I mean, it's not like, "Hey, Chan, quit fucking up." That's okay. It's more like Fergie said, "They always claim they know me/Comin' to me call me Stacy." Then she spells her name.

Anyway, here are a couple of Cat Power tracks:

Cat Power - The Greatest

Boogaloo Fred

Public television champion, VCR advocate and Vietnam sniper, Fred Rogers of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood has been known as many things to many people. Well, now we can add amateur b-boy to his list of accomplishments.

The part when he starts waving is just priceless:


If you check out the Wikipedia page on Fred Rogers, you'll see the Vietnam thing is nothing but an urban legend. He was already filming the 'Hood during the war, and prior to that, he was in Canada smoking dope with Bill Clinton.

I would try to come up with something witty to say about this but frankly the shit speaks for itself. Absolutely hilarious.

Better Late Than Never: Interpol at Coachella

Now that I finally have my file hosting shiz sorted out, I can share some sets from this year's Coachella festival with y'all. First up is my personal favorite from the weekend: Interpol, who played Friday night right before Bjork.

But before we get to the good stuff, here are some pictures to waste your time:



By the way, have you met the new Carlos D? He's gone from "Bela Lugosi's Dead" to Pablo Escobar on Zoloft:

Without further ado, here's Interpol's full set. I highly, highly recommend "Mammoth."

Oh yeah, I've also uploaded the set by Ziggy Marley & Jr. Gong. If you grab it, can you do me a favor and hook it up with track names? Thanks, you're a peach.
