…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.
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.

for real. i’m calling it now. they’re going gold. i just bought it on itunes, and 2 hard copies from best buy. with a gift certificate. so i’m not crazy. but just scoop it. and buy the wayne, too. it’s also great. but i’m putting the brain up for more N*E*R*D support.

it’s a bit late, but me and the homies hit up commonwealth dc this past friday for an intense N*E*R*D album listening session. they played the entire thing, and then threw some oldies but goodies in there too. shout out to everybody who came through, including that dude dizzy, who went out of his way to get me a heineken! ice cold like andre 3 stacks was talking about in “hey ya!“good grief. talk about dmv hospitality. he even said he reads the blog, so at least we got one celebrity reader.
now, i know we aren’t celebs or anything, but with keba and her super touch screen sony digicam, and sean’s HUGE camera that i’m sure the cameramen on “the real world” use, we set it up so that everybody there thought we were important. truth be told, sean and my man austin were shooting a low budget music video around the area, and they just so happened to be in the area. sean was like, “let’s just start shooting,” and you know me. down for whatever. so we went with it. we ran into the biggest N*E*R*D fan i’ve ever met in my life (she kept her ticket stubs from N*E*R*D concerts dating back to like ’04 in her wallet. she wins by default). she came from bristol, VA (if i remember correctly) to hear that entire album. she also came SOLO! i had to dap her up for that. on camera. so me and sean talked to her for like a good 5 minutes and came out with some hilarious footage that will be on the site soon.
everybody was watching us like we were famous, and it was great. anyway, enjoy the pics below, courtesy of young keba.
and those gourmet joints are the wettest sneakers out. contrary to popular belief, i only have three pairs of shoes, and i don’t go out the house partially because of that reason. somebody bless me with a goodwill/salvation army drop. immediately.
yea. that’s right. DCtoBC.com blesses the world with another crucial joint. i don’t even care that all i blog about right now is N*E*R*D. i’m trying to do my duty as a star trak trooper and loyal fan to push their fan base up to the roof. and honestly, this could be one of the greatest “unreleased” tracks they have. it’s INSANE! why didn’t think make the album!? you may have heard the snippet, but this joint is the full version. the real deal, holyfield.
don’t even think about tryna change that album art or zshare link. we dropped it first. per usual. we means really just me. HUGE shout out to nick simmons, he threw me the oop and i threw it down like shaq circa ’96. and go celtics. apparently, if they win, i will see the sunshine of california.
oh and huge shout out to cmonwealth, they had the crucial listening session for this seeing sounds joint, and gave away a lot of cool promo stuff, on top of free food and drink. and you know i eat that stuff up like scooby snacks.
buy the album on TUESDAY. i buy two of everything i really like. this may get 3 or 4 copies. and i’ll ride through the hood, throwing them out like jeezy and shawty lo do turkeys and cash in their neighborhoods.
and i still think that they need to re-do that ‘spaz” joint with those indian noises they used in the live version. i swear i saw a dude at the cmonwealth party hitting ‘em with that signature spaz dance. it looks like this:
oh boy. wowzers. scoop the joint, let me know how you feel about it.
