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 my favorite all time songs he’s ever done.

If you live in Columbus, I’ll see you out tonight @ the show.

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 on Wired that talked about a movie called Tarnation that was edited completely using iMovie.  It went on to get tons of praise at the Sundance Film Festival.

Tarnation chronicles the life of Caouette’s dysfunctional family. His mother, a fashion model, was a victim of severe abuse, and Caouette’s childhood, spent partly in foster homes, included daily doses of violence, drugs and unpredictability.

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 the camera for 5 minutes talking about something that was only interesting for the first 30 seconds, and podcasts can end up pretty much the same way, except with more obscure music.  I would rather not do that.

At the time I was having problems with the PC in my studio and couldn’t get started on it, but this week I was able to work on it and it’s actually much easier and more fun than I thought it would be.  Not many people know this but I used to do college radio for 4 years in college and was a DJ and on-air personality long before I was rhyming or making beats, so I’m pretty comfortable with the entire thing and have always wanted to do it again.  It seems like podcasting could be a good outlet for that.  However, I don’t know whether the people who check for my music are currently into podcasts or would even be interested if I were to do one, so i figured i would take a poll and see what’s what:
