Bush Rules*

Thanks George W. Bush.

I said it. Don't think I'll say it again. But I do love free money - TAX REBATE! I spent that shit right away too. Just like I was supposed to. It worked.

Cruised down to the South Bay like a bat out of hell (well, not really - I borrowed Ian's car, and it shakes at 70, so much unlike Sammy Hagar, I could only drive 55) on Saturday in my roundabout journey to Berkeley for the Soul Knockout. I picked up two 1200s, a mixer and some hardcases on the cheap down in Milpitas - never thought I would have reason to say "Milpitas" again when not talking about Dave & Buster's (soon, Todd... soon, I promise).

May's Got Soul

E Da Boss and I will be holding it down at the Soul Knockout in Berkeley TONITE. Hot Grits and I celebrated the one year KO anniversary last month by giving out commemorative mix CDs, but it has been a minute now since we've been able to enjoy E's appearance at the KO. He was opening up for The Coup a couple weekends ago, and I was lucky enough to catch their set. It was their first appearance in the East Bay in 6 or 7 years. If you get a chance to see them, go do it - it's a good time, for sure. Many years in the making, and no signs of stopping or losing relevance.

this Saturday, May 10th. 10 pm.

Missouri Lounge 2600 San Pablo Ave, Berkeley, CA

In the meantime, check out E's myspace page. Also, be on the lookout for E's first record on Finland's Timmion Records (home of Nicole Willis & the Soul Investigators).
