Sometimes I wish I were a kid again, so I could go trick-or-treating. I want some candy. Is it weird for 23-year-olds to go trick-or-treating without a little kid with them? :\ Probably. Instead, I’ll just have whatever candy I buy (no awesome variety of treats), that I’ll be passing out to the few kids that come around. Not sure if I’ll be doing anything exciting or not…

Anyway, happy Halloween! What’s up with you guys? Doing anything special today, tonight, or this weekend? Dressing up as anything? Yeahhhh, I’m pushing my nose into all of your lives… and you’re gonna like it!

Okay… it’s that time! As promised, I was going to link you all with where you can listen to 3 Nomar Slevik albums.

This is the first promotional short film for the upcoming release of Rafael Casal‘s “The Monster LP”.

“The best and the brightest are locked in the confines of a research facility, where they are prisoners for fear of what may happen to the game if they were allowed to roam free. Fortunately for The Getback, one of our own has snuck into the cell block disguised as a guard, and let the MONSTER out of his cage…”

HAHA I was on my way home from 3rd Ave about two or three weeks ago and just had to take a picture.  I’m guessing the giant rat is supposed be a warning for pesticides, but I just found it hilarious, because…well it’s a giant evil inflatable rat. LOLZ

So I’m finally getting around to doing this album review for Naomi’s Soul Child. I loved Naomi’s last album and I’m glad I finally got around to listening to this album. For those that don’t know of her yet, Naomi is sort of a new face in Korea as one of the strongest vocalists in the R&B genre. As a female ballad singer, however, her competition pool is a little small, which makes her stand out even more. Check out the posts I did on her here,  and here [yeah I kinda really like her music]. Now, let’s get on with this album review:

Check it out! Dumbfoundead is reaching out to all you younger emcees. He has started a “collabo contest”, which he’ll give some lucky winner the opportunity to have him feature on a track with you. Interested?

If so, start off by downloading this beat from TripMaster Monk. Write/record your song, and leave the third verse open for Dumb to place his 16 bars (if you’re the winner).

There are a few rules! You must be 18 or UNDER. No lying about your age either. You must submit your tracks by November 20th, 2009 – to funwithdumb@gmail.com (name, age, and track). Be CREATIVE!

I heard a couple tracks by the Phenomenal Handclap Band about a month or so ago, and I thought they were great. PHB is a supergroup of musicians from New York. The group was started by underground club DJs Daniel Collás and Sean Marquand. When they became tired of spinning other people’s music, they decided that they wanted to form their own act. After working with various artists of the indie rock and underground soul scenes, they eventually formed the 8-piece they are now: Daniel Collás, Sean Marquand, Patrick Wood, Pier Pappalardo, Joan Tick, Bing Ji Ling, Joan Tick, and Luke O’Malley. They’re with two labels, Tummy Touch (UK/EU) and Friendly Fire Recordings (US).
