B L A C K I E

all caps, with spaces. I like rap, I like hard hitting beats. I love B L A C K I E (all caps, with spaces). hailing from Houston, B L A C K I E came through town on his tour on a Sohns show (and did a really intense live remix of Pieces and Pieces and Pieces with them mid-song). this guy doesn't take up much room, but he uses the entire room.

at first, all you hear is a hard beat, then B L A C K I E takes off with the mic- yelling, rapping, vocalizing, and jumping every where. it's a truly spectacular performance.. he's worth the download and worth supporting. I bought a shirt and LP after the show... just.... wow.

I've got the Spred Luv LP for download, but buy it from his site if you really like it, please- I cannot stress this enough, he deserves money for his work; music is hard work, especially something this original. again- please BUY IT if you like it.

no!se.08

this hole has been home for years on end.
but I've seen what's outside of it,
to tell the truth it's not so bad out there

...but comfort set in early on
at times..

I'm deathly afraid to set foot outside.

The Grasshopper Lies Heavy

guitar, bass, drums... this makes up TGLH. this band is"...probably one of the most important bands in San Antonio music history" (The Edge, SA local zine). there's really no other way to describe their sound other than- art in audio format, with their hard hitting intricacy or their laid back drone and atmospheric tones. one damn AMAZING local band!

I've got their latest release here: Jeder Für Sich Und Gott Gegen Alle (Every Man For Himself And God Against All). if you're 210 native: check out a show, buy merch if you can spare the cash. if you're not? like their Facebook, ask 'em how you can get a physical copy of something!
