Bush is scramblin' but is Kerry about give him a clear look at the goal line?
Not a good look for Bush: U.N. Aide Backs Cleric on Elections; Offers No Timetable. (New York Times)
Should I take this as evidence that Kerry has the GOP kind of shook? (Reuters)
I would probably say yes when they see stuff like this: Majority of Americans Doubt Bush's WMD Claims;
Support for President Bush Drops to 50 Percent in Latest Post-ABC News Poll. (Washington Post)
Although with this story (Telegraph UK) breaking fast from The Drudge Report (via my man David James Group) last night, Kerry's campaign could possibly derail and things swing back in Bush's favor (or Edwards and Dean's favor?) again very quickly. Expect mega coverage on this one.
Now that the Kanye West album is out and being digested & debated, is Ghostface's Pretty Toney next up on the buzz radar? I'm not mad at the new Missy/Starks collabo "Tush" that I've started hearing around. (HipHopGame.com via Beats & Rants 2.2) "Face Off" feat. Ghost and Scarface from Kay Slay's upcoming Streetsweeper Vol. 2 is kind of crazy sounding too.
When I was out coppping that wack Courtney Love album earlier this week, I forget to pick up the Pitch Black album which is going for $6.99 in a lot of spots. Is it worth my while? The first single was ridiculous. I'm kind of semi on the follow-up but open to hearing some other opinions on this.
Another Black Album remix joint (scroll down a little to view)? Turntable Lab says this Paul Nice (who he?) one is, er, nice.
Finesse's classic Funky Technician to be released in a remastered form with instrumentals and remixes by Pete Rock, Mad Lib, DJ Spinna, Premo, Extra P and others. That gets a double "Oh Sh!t!" (Hiphopsite.com)
I missed the Showtime MC Battle show but the name of the winner, Spitfiya, is kind of hot. No idea whether he can, in fact, spit fire....
Has Justin Timberlake's "ghetto pass" been revoked? (New York Newsday)
On some non-hip hop ish though, I'm diggin' "Man Bites Man" by Dogs Die In Hot Cars, a quirky sounding indie jawn not a million miles in sound from Hot Hot Heat who released one of my favorite albums of last year. That's got to be the stupidest band name I've heard in while though (which probably means everyone else will think it's great). Also, kind of into the track "Freakin' Out" (mp3 snippet courtesy of XFM UK) by Graham Coxon (ex of Blur, right?).
And on a completely unrelated note: WTF is Bok Choi? I swear I'd never heard of it before yesterday then all of a sudden I was hearing or reading about everwhere including from a group of women at my gym talking about it like it was only food to eat if you're on a diet. I swear one of the women claimed she ate it at every meal. It sounded like the new Tofu from the way they were going on about it.
Blog update: I've added a "Permalink" function to the site which should make it easier to link to my posts unless I've screwed it up (which is quite possible). I'm thinking of jumping over to Typepad in the near future though as Blogger just can't seem to get their ish together and get their enhanced/Pro service back online again (it's been on hiatus for, it seems like, forever now). I have some issues I need cleared up before that happens for sure though (I reached out to Madison who's been real helpful and Taj, I might be hollerin' at you real soon too, playboy). For those who care about this though, stay tuned.
