You Paint That Shit Gold!
How wonderful of an album title is that seriously?! I think it's genius!
Anywho so I'm not a huge rap fan but I always appreciate good underground rap and Atmosphere is it! They are a Minnesota hip-hop group, currently consisting of rapper Slug (Sean Daley), producer ANT (Anthony Davis), and Touring DJ Mr. Dibbs (Brad Forste).
I picked up the album today, which came out this tuesday and from first listen, I'm hooked. The album is thus far proving to be just as genius as it's title. I'm pretty sure though, I would have been a lot more surprised if it was bad because everything these guys have put out I've enjoyed.
Looking back I can't believe I've been a part of MOG for almost a year and I've Never Ever written about my guiltiest pleasure...The Nadas.
Hailing from Des Moines, Iowa the Nadas are a band that have been together for almost 15 years. The lineup has slightly changed over those years but it's two key members both songwriters who share vocal and guitar duties, Jason Walsmith and Mike Butterworth have always been there. Mike a little more Rock 'n Roll and Jason adding an alt-country tinge.
I suppose I may not have mentioned them because as I've stated they are my guilty pleasure. By simply listening to them, it may not make sense other than the fact that they are very accessible almost the point of being your cliche Folk-Rock band. But through their years they've been consistently known as a "college rock" band, playing in smaller music venues across the country and their popularity almost solely due to word of mouth. Many of their fans being frat boys and sorority girls, the kind of people most hipsters steer clear of.
I'm writing about them today because last night I saw them put on another fantastic show down at the FineLine here in town supporting their brand new album "Ghosts Inside These Halls", their 6th studio album. The band has a great stage presence, full of energy and most importantly actually enjoying what they do. They're the kind of guys who you to sit down and have a beer with, very down to earth and it comes through in their music. I've actually been lucky enough to interview them, sit in on in-studio record, and hang out with them on occasion, so I can attest that their down to earth-ness is genuine and not just an act. I've seen them so many times live I've lost count and never seen a bad show. Most importantly each of their shows remind me a little piece of Iowa regardless of where it is. It seems as though in every city that they play any person who resided in Iowa during their college years in that area come out of the woodwork and make up the majority of the crowd. It doesn't matter whether the show be here in nearby Minneapolis or all the way down in Phoenix.

Lastly this song is from their live in-studio they did at the radio station I used to work at KULT -FM. This song is called "At The Edge" off of their "Transceiver" album
So I came upon this great compilation that I find to be pretty quite comical, but also full of interesting covers of rap songs by some of todays more popular "punk" bands. I'm not a big fan of many of these bands but still find it pretty interesting to see their twists on these songs to check out more go to http://www.myspace.com/punkgoescrunk

I like using and hearing people using swear words so this is pretty pre-sphipped for me -- However, I must confess it's not enough to overcome my ignorance of most the artists featured on this compil'
I like the track you've posted. Pretty funny to hear white dudes living the Snoop's life.
