I have mice, mice in my apartment and mice at work. They are small, brown, and very cute; however, they poop a lot, and I'm not big on Hantavirus and Hep C.I told my apartment manager about it. That was the day when I came home and the cupboards had just been ripped to shreds, with little bits of food and tiny turds scattered across all my dishes, and all the dry goods with chew marks in them."...

A few years ago when I lived in Chicago I had this idea for an album that I'm going to make one day-- it's 10 rap tracks, each song's beat being made out of samples from the correspondingly-numbered track from ILLMATIC. The lyrics of each song, however, reflect the ILLMATIC that was made in a series of alternate universes where some other film besides Scarface has been used as the basis for th...

If you read any of the garbage I write on this page or the other page I write on, you've probably seen me speculating on the reasons for the increasingly disproportionate hate tossed on the phantom "hipsters" in the public discourse over the past ~2 years. Today I got a new theory.The editor of the Wired magazine has written a book describing an economic model that seems to imply that in the f...

Let's talk about how this year is not even a month in the bag and I already ruined it for every other band, vis a vis album covers. If you can actually somehow get yr hands on one of these ltd edition little bastards, you'll find even more rich images that I made on my laptop with [k]'d photo appz, incl some of my "True" series which featured ads for singles websites juxtaposed with scenes from C

SO now begins a special time, I'm doing some FUND RAZING on ebay to try and get some dough for the 9 releases on MUST FINISH this year. Eight years ago I produced my first two electro 7"s, for taking on the Soundboy Yakuza tour, the first time Cex & Kid606 hit the road together. It was a historic time-- if those same punk-assed little boys from that tour could look around now they wouldn't be...

Hey Juggalos, This is the official MOG of Rjyan Claybrook Januarius Kidwell, the First of His Name, Madman of the People and veteran Baltimore beatsmith also known as CEX.I picked the username "Good" for MOG, though. I could have picked "Cex" or "Rjyan," but I figured our communications here would be a little more special if I made it a little more difficult for knuckleheads to find me.If you ...

OK, so my Mog page is gonna look a little fucked up this week, I just realized, because I'm using iTunes to dub these cassettes I'm selling on my website. Yeah, I'm dubbing 100 cassettes straight off my laptop, just like the pros do. It's a plunderphonic/bootycentric remake of a record I made a few years ago. It's pretty good-- at least twice as good as all those new rockband CDs people are tr...

Mmmk, I have held out on this one long enough, I am a junkie for the indies... and this track is by one of my heroes, CEX -- while I fiddled and fought to make a sound on my PC and cheap midi bits, this cat was starting a label while... working his way through high school.... Nice Mr Kidwell!! This is from the 2007 Release 'Sketchi' Please support the Underground!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
