There are times when everybody has moments of self-doubt.  Lord knows I’ve had mine. But it seems like every time that self-doubt starts to get the best of me I’m brought back to reality by the people that have allowed me to do this in the first place–the fans.  Whether it’s one person or a [...]

I was in the grocery store today, picking up the normal stuff (eggs, bread, milk, etc.) when I came across this.  It’s called Pickled Rope Bolonga. I beg of you…please explain this ungodly creation to me…I’m still trying to wrap my brain around it. Why does this exist? Share

To continue with the theme of getting ready for tour, one decision I didn’t have a difficult time making was to bring a Greenhouse CD with me. Actually, I did have a hard time choosing between volume one and volume two, but then I decided to make it a double-cd and bring both–problem solved.  As [...]

It just dawned on me that people don’t use the word endorse enough.  We talk about what we like or dislike, what we do or don’t do, but we never say the word endorse.  The only people who really use it are politicians and business leaders.  I think I’m gonna bring the word endorse back [...]

I was talking to this cat the other day about music.  This cat is also a musician. Not that my opinion matters, but I’ve never thought he was particularly talented–at least not to the point where I think he’ll make a career out of music or a big impact.  Everything he’s done has been kind [...]

While I don’t typically get nervous on stage, I do experience a decent amount of anxiety about going on the road, which I’m set to do in 3 weeks. Most of this anxiety revolves around being as prepared as possible for everything. Making sure your stuff at home is handled (grass cut, mail held, bills [...]

Tonight in Columbus, OH the life and music of Camu Tao will be celebrated at Skullys.  If you live in Columbus, you should try to make at out as this is a very worthy cause and event.  Here’s a description: Join us Monday, August 16th to help celebrate the long awaited release of Camu Tao’s(RIP) [...]

As many of you know, Mike Tyson is one of my favorite personalities in the world of sports and entertainment.  If he were on Facebook, I would send him a friend request.  If he were on Twitter, I would follow him.  It’s that deep.  Well, as a fan of MMA I stumbled on this new [...]

For some reason I’ve been thinking it was a day earlier than it was all week and I just realized that today is Friday.  So here’s some Friday music.  The song is called “Mo Better Blues” by Branford Marsalis.  It’s the theme song to the classic flick Mo Better Blues by Spike Lee.  This is [...]

  In a few days it will be almost 3 months since I decided to try to stop drinking. A lot of people have asked me if I’m ever going to drink again.  I always have a hard time answering that. Mostly because sobriety is a day-to-day thing.  Drinking was a day-to-day thing as well.  [...]

Just like a lot of cats that came up when i did, I’ve got a lot of nostalgia about it.  Not necessarily on some everything was better back then type of shit, because technically I think there are better rappers out right now–but when I think back to how dope and creative hip-hop music videos [...]

The other night I had a conversation with a cat about artists and song lyrics, and how few hip-hop guys have their lyrics available anymore. This is especially noticeable in this day and age where album packaging isn’t as important anymore.  Artists used to put time into making sure that the lyrics were printed inside [...]

Whether you like Kanye’s music or not doesn’t matter.  What matters is that the dude has an eye for art and this video is amazing.  Will replace this with the full-length one soon as I find it on youtube. Good googly-moogly. Can’t remember the last time i rewinded a music video multiple times.  For some [...]

Hello Friends.  As many of you know, I run an imprint called Weightless Recordings.  We recently redesigned our website and are relaunching it today.  Please stop by and check out our artists and releases.  If you were familiar with the old site then this definitely looks different, but we believe it will allow us to [...]

I had a pretty nice monitor in my studio. Flat screen, beautiful display.  Probably cost me about $150 a couple years ago, right when the price for a flat screen monitor was dropping.  A couple days ago I started noticing a little flickering and thought nothing of it.  I turned it off and on and [...]

  Being an Ohioan, I would often get asked my thoughts on the Cleveland Cavaliers and Lebron James. People would sometimes ask me if was I a Cavs fan, and my reply would usually be “Nope, I’m not a Cavaliers fan, I’m a basketball fan.”  I’m a self-confessed basketball fan, to say the least.  I [...]

    I haven’t been too vocal about this in public settings, mostly sharing it w/ my closest friends, but I stopped drinking about two months ago.  If i remember correctly it was May the 15th.  At the time I had no idea how long i would go without it, whether it was a short [...]

  The album Columbus or Bust was released in 2005 a few weeks after 1988 was released.  I’ve always felt that because it came out so close to 1988 that it never got it’s proper shine.  This situation was made even worse by the fact that we licensed the record to another label to release [...]

Time to start talking about music videos for the new EP.  Last time around “Cold Out Here” won the voting, and the video came out great.  Let us know what song from Electric Purgatory Part Two you would like to see as a music video the most? Thanks for the input! p.s. if you haven’t [...]

My dude Abstract Rude is playing tonight in Columbus at Skullys w/ Musab, Illogic, and The Midas Touch, so I figured I would post one of the first songs I ever heard him on “Keep it True” (featured on Aceyalones album All Balls Don’t Bounce that came out in 1995), and is also one of [...]

  I stumbled upon this movie by complete accident.  I was using google to see if i could find some short films done in iMovie, trying to see just how far people had gone with it in their editing and film projects.  Apparently, they’ve gone pretty damn far with it.  I came across an article [...]

I was asked to put together a music podcast for some friends a while back.  I was a little apprehensive about it at first because in general I feel like podcasting & videoblogs are great when done right, but usually boring as hell most of the time.  Videoblogs usually end up being somebody staring into [...]

I’m a basketball fanatic so this post goes out to the national player of the year and Ohio State Buckeye Evan Turner, who was the #2 pick in the NBA draft last night.  He was drafted by the Philadelphia 76rs (27-54) who suck pretty bad.  I guess its better to go to a shitty team [...]

About a month ago, me and my buddy Nate were at the bar doing our usual; him drinking shots, me drinking pitchers of beer.  It was one of those nights where you hit up 2-3 different bars over the course of 4-5 hours, so i’m pretty confident we were drunk.  The tv in the bar [...]

I will wholeheartedly admit that I have never really been a frugal person.  Not to say that I’m the kind of person to blow through a ton of money and not know where it went, but I’ve also never been the kind of guy to actually cut coupons out.  But like many other people, I’ve [...]

So I was reading one of my favorite MMA blogs bloodyelbow the other day and saw they had a mini-documentary about fighter Allistair Overeem posted.  The opening sequence of its about him returning home to the Amsterdam airport after defending his title, and guess who i spot in the opening frame?  Evidence & DJ Babu [...]

My dudes The Opus from Chicago have a new record out called Praying Mantis.  I had no idea until they posted this video of their release party on their Facebook page.  If you’re into instrumentalism, kind of like what i did on Chamber Music and Sign Language, then please give these dudes music a listen.  [...]

This is kinda cool.  Man makes a printer using legos and prints “hello world”. Share

A couple weeks back I was taking a break from some home remodeling work and decided to hit up McDonalds up (i know i know McDonalds is the devil, just hear me out).  Since i was on the north side of town i hit up the one in Clintonville, one that i had never been [...]

Last night, there were not many people at the show, but by far it was the most memorable night of the tour… We sold a good amount of merch despite the small turn out. Which is good because i dont think the show itself made any money thru the door. The bartendress liked me, and [...]
