See that cute girl in the middle? Her name’s Rhea. I follow Star Trak’s Fam-Lay on twitter, and I swear I saw something he tweeted about a new member of N*E*R*D a couple weeks ago. Now if you know me, you know that you can’t get any better than N*E*R*D. Christians have Jesus, Muslims have Allah, and I have N*E*R*D. I know the words to their songs, I understand them even when the critics don’t, and I travel by air, sea, and foot for shows all over the globe. I’m a fan. So when you start to change a good thing, a.k.a. add a sexy but little known chick to my favorite group of all time, of course I’ll feel a certain type of way.

It’s been confirmed by MTV. Read here. I’m open to change, but she’s got one chance. Instant Gratification, the new Black Eyed Peas N*E*R*D album, drops in early 2010.

this is the jam when everything in life gets messed up. the next move is figuring out the next step.

power blogging coming back wednesday or thursday. in the london airport. in transit to DC. just doing what i can from abroad. let’s get it.

goodness. needed a re-up, cuz i didn’t even get to fully enjoy this joint. it’s beautiful. don’t fake on it.

“spaz if you want to.”

always gotta keep you guys in the loop as to skateboard’s whereabouts.

concrete loop reports that N*E*R*D’s frontman was posted at the riviera zushi marina in kanagawa, japan, performing with the group for MTV vibrations ‘08. he looks half-asian there with that dirt lip mustache, so he must have felt at home.

i had to dig into the archives and grab one of his best verses. “high rollers,” off his gangsta grillz mixtape. who said the man can’t rap, anyway?

i’m a n*e*r*d fan. in fact, i’m like the guy stan from that eminem song. so when i heard my man noa christofer created his own video for this song, i had to spread the good word. tell me what you think.

DL: N*E*R*D – laugh about it

…the laser gun carrying, milky way master. that’s atlanta. see me out there from the 8th – 12th. i gotta thank twitter & dan the man for these joints. like i said, if you’re in the A and you need a ticket, you can win one somewhere on this site. just delve, you’ll find it. figure out where you can get your tickets here. see y’all bammas out there.

oh, and janelle monae is opening for this joint. she has just climbed the charts of my brain to the top, man. wowzers.

i just had an amazing interview session for a feature writing course, and was inspired to re-up this. while reviewing my notes, i came across a critical tactic in the art of interviewing: impress your interviewee with a knowledge of facts. in other words, show them you’ve done your homework.

well my man nardwuar takes this tidbit to heart. just watch. around 1:39 it gets crazy, and at 1:55, you will laugh. very hard.

he’s done much more interviews with an array of celebrity figures, too. check nardwuar out here. how old is this guy though? i’m just saying. coolest canadian i’ve ever seen, regardless.

CLICK BELOW to see the remaining dates. but real quick…does skateboard p ever age!? good grief!

(more…)

wow. they got the entire venue on their feet with a convincing argument. how come more people aren’t there, and how come this footage isn’t on more blogs? good looks, joe.
