After a long and inspiring hang out with THE Josh Elder, we’ve decided to start a rap battle through xtranormal. COMMENCE RAP BATTLE! Join in, kids! Update: Ekundayo posted a pre-rap battle video.  For your consideration. Update: Here’s Josh’s “response“.  Pff.

I got a couple messages from friends alerting me to xtranormal, and I decided to give it a test run.  In five minutes I had written a script – yeah, it’s not great – and in another fifteen or twenty, to figure out why things were too long, I had a video.  So…here it is! [...]

Since the holidays, the same holidays I don’t celebrate, began I’ve found myself busied by the giving of tours, purchasing clothes and presents for upcoming birthdays, and generally being lazy. It’s infuriating and lacking the structure that made having a job in an office so much easier. So, I sit here on the train, right [...]

The long awaited launch of Soul Pancake! is soon upon us.  At this very moment, we’re constructing, editing, and sifting through content, looking for the nuggets. I’ll make the announcement on the site upon groundbreak and will keep y’all posted on here when new posts, contests, interviews, etc. show up.  So, keep your eyes peeled [...]

Today I haven’t done much “work”, per se.  Which is an odd thing to say, really, and not necessarily the truth.  I’ve spent today reading and just generally being a sponge.  It is in doing this that I realize the absolutely necessity of such a posture for a writer.  And I’ll explain why after this [...]

Just as a reminder to those interested in reading more, more, MORE!  I have new posts up at Irregardable and At 20 things changed… Sure, it’s been a while for both those blogs, but in this new found push for content and creativity and the constancy of my fingers on the keys, it just felt [...]

This morning I was greeted with an email linking me to an interview with Bon Iver on Music Weekly.  Therein you will hear that the Guardian is ranking it of the Top Albums of the year. As well, and this was news to me, Bon Iver performed on David Letterman last week (12/11).  The video [...]

Heather informed me earlier that we have, in fact, been ported over to a new server.  A server of limitless potentials and, you know, lots of disc space. We’re concerned, however, that problems may arise from the shift.  If anyone notices any issues with loading or, well, anything else please let me know through the [...]
