So last Thursday my friends Jason, Mathias, and I went and saw Busdriver perform a show at Neumos in Seattle. While we were waiting in line a redhead girl asked if she could buy a ticket off of us for $40. We declined, and then proceeded to waste her time by talking about exotic fish and animals with her. Later on her boyfriend or somebody arrived and they were offering $100 for a ticket. A little tempting, but I really wanted to see Busdriver. So no go. We got in and sta... MORE
Hip Hop Thursdays, yay! Wow, that sounded thuggish. Anyways, this is one of the catchiest hip hop songs I've heard in a long time. Not a bad video, either =)
OK, so I put a Busdriver track on my MySpace, and you people seem to think you know what he sounds like, and apparently arent impressed. This is a mistake.

One of my resolutions for the year is to actually listen to the mp3s that are offered by the music websites that I frequent and this week I finally started to make good on it. While cruising Pitchfork I encountered an article on Busdriver, an "alternative" hip-hop artist out of Los Angeles (yes, them again) whose sixth record _RoadkillOvercoat_ will drop this Tuesday. I checked the accompanying mp3 of "Less Yes's... MORE
This is Britt's fault...she's got a bit of EMCD in her too. I'll have to check to see if she's been hanging out with Dale.
I broke down and bought dude's last album last week and it is oh so very interesting. Wish I knew what he was saying, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying the music.
I couldn't find a video off the newer album (RoadKillOvercoat) so here's an older one (I assume.)
