Young and angry me in Minnesnowta, cerca 1900
Before I resort to something clever like peace, love, and “junk” in reference to Eyedea’s newest single to introduce this week’s radio show and post, Atmosphere made it impossible for me not to go out with “You,” a song from his album When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That S*** Gold.
The man can get away with the cheesiness better than even I can blogging from the dairy state.
Yesterday we talked about Eyedea and Abilities, a hip-hop duo out of Minneapolis. If I’ve learned anything about art, it’s that the process brings you back to your roots, and this show brought me back to my birthplace in Minnesnowta. With my weird side out of mind and screaming back loud and clear into my ears, I’ve realized one last thing – music rocks even when life really, really, doesn’t.
Britny and I tried desperately to get Eyedea on the show and a rapper from Texas Fat Tony, since he’s from another place of genesis for me Texas. It was almost too perfect to call fate, so I said to Britny, “let’s just do us.” The playlist of songs and an .mp3 of last night’s show are below for people not cool enough to stay up until 1 a.m. and take a radio show seriously.
Just kidding, I know it’s a little on the weird side. I figure if we’re going to be having the same conversation in Britny Rose’s apartment, we might as well share it online and on air.
