SXSW: DOPE MUSIC


So we've come home from the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas and what an experience it was. We saw some great bands, ate some great food and played some great shows.

Over the next few days we'll post up and coming bands we saw that were worth mentioning, restaurants we visited that are worth eating at and whatever else we remember from the 4 day music bash. I barely slept but it was worth it.

My first reccomendation goes to blah blah blah. A four piece from Chicago we saw the last night we were in Austin. These guys have a great chance to break out and become household names. Chill dudes as well.

JAY DILLA INTERVIEW IN TORONTO


In light of the Dilla Stussy documentary, it got me watching random footage on youtube of one of my favorite producers of all time. I found this video to be particularly awsome because it has Dilla being interviewed and djing in Toronto (home of KnK), and discussing how Toronto is one of the prime music destinations for what he does. Also my boy, the ever talented and Dilla prodigy, Waajeed is up on there dropping science. Very cool footage for a Dilla fan that's from Toronto. Also,, the opening image was designed by Deadly Delmundo of Iris, whom you may remember from designing our the cover for our Live Re-Mixing 101.

VEGAS Here we come.

"No matter how big a guy might be, Nicky would take him on. You beat Nicky with fists, he comes back with a bat. You beat him with a knife, he comes back with a gun. And if you beat him with a gun, you better kill him, because he'll keep comin' back and back until one of you is dead. " Ace Rothstein , Casino

Sometimes you might look at someone and say what is he/she doing... Why,, what does it all mean? I'm confused and I don't know how to feel, yet I'm reaching for the cowbell.
