The madman that is Theophilus London is dropping a mixtape SOOOOOO soon that I can taste it. It tastes like osos gomosos.
His last drop “This Charming Mixtape” which we featured and you can cop HERE is still getting the rinse-wash-n-repeat treatment in my car.
SO dope. Seriously.
This track, sampling Marvin Gaye’s “I want you”, just dropped and it is a doooooozie.

My boo, M.I.A, is on a worldwide crusade to save the redheaded children of the world. Or perhaps those who are treated like red-headed step-children by the powers that be.
For some reason this reminds me of “Children of Men”
weird.
check the 9-minute optical opus put out for M.I.A’s single “Born Free”

but seriously… who doesn’t love them a little Dave Chappelle?
He recently attempted to beat the 7 hour 34-minute record set by (shitty) comedian Dane Cook at the laughfactory.
Chappelle failed. 
Apparently he had to pee around the five hour mark, and instead of just going all over the front row and just working it into some gross R.Kelly bit, Chappelle went to the bathroom.
On the bright side though, this means there are five hours of entirely new Chappelle jokes out there. Sweet. Deal.
Below are the few clips I’ve found…. let me know if you guys find it all… because this is pretty much the most important news of the decade thus far.
ok… not really….. but really…

…and quite sexy might I add.
New track off her perhaps new album? I’m not too sure actually. It comes hard though, I know that much.

[Sometimes I feel like everyone is] Against Me!
Posted by El_Che under Music

This is still my favorite live band after all these years. Opened up for Against Me! years ago at the old Capitol Garage in Sacramento, had no idea who they were, and two hours later after screaming barely-learned hooks and moshing with sweaty hippies and hipsters I was a fan.
Their new album is Warren-less (their badass drummer left to open up a taco shop in Florida…. a man of many talents I see) but it still gets the job done.
Ok, I’ll admit, its missing some of the rawness from their first few records. Butch Vig producing has not served them all that well in my opinion. But you can’t always reinvent Axl Rose.
Nonetheless.

[edit: Mr. Ira, this post was pretty much for you, I doubt any of our regular readers are much into folk-punk. Consider it an early graduation gift.

Who knew Argentina was so awesome?
Posted by El_Che under Music, awesome

I did. Because I’m from there. And I’m awesome. (See how that works itself out there? Sweet deal.)
Most all things Argentinean are near and dear to my heart. Gotan Project are no exception. Mixing up Tango (GoTan= TanGo) in a linguistic switcheroo common in the Buenos Aires region (cafe=feca and so on) these three guys have taken the folkloric and tango music of a romanticized Argentina, added some dope beats, and modernized the shit out of it.
These guys make music from an Argentina where Maradona isn’t a fat wasted little man, where “El Che” Guevara is more than a poster boy for things he never stood for, and Eva Peron actually represented hope for the lower classes and was not some Madonna side project. (Sorry, was that a little too deep for this kind of blog? I think so. I apologize. We’ll keep it surface-level.)
Nonetheless, Gotan’s new project (get it? get it?) titled “Tango 3.0″ dropped April 19th. It’s their third disk of greatness and I’m just pressing play on it right now. Quite nice so far. Their lead single off the album “La Gloria” has a video with two afro-ed out twins dancing in sand and the three Dudes themselves.
