ween calling it quits →
sad day for lovers of creative music. after a 25+ year run of pushing an innovative style of rock that found them channeling other genres and even seemingly species of musicians (some really, really out there shit), they’re going on an indefinite hiatus from touring and recording. they were hilarious but also immensely talented and never boring in the least.

…..so that’s neat. pretty interesting development considering my life back when i started this blog. they’re called pi (or, perhaps are simply the symbol for pi?) are based 20 minutes south of austin in san marcos, and are a bluesy psych rock trio along the same lines as radio moscow. definitely a strong tame impala influence, as evidenced by their (more than respectable) cover...

sort of a mess. pete rock & c.l. smooth’s ’T.R.O.Y.’ (they reminisce over you)’ is without a doubt a very big deal, one of the more enduring and beloved tracks in hip-hop history, an ode to a close friend and fallen musical comrade, trouble t-roy of heavy d & the boys. for lupe’s upcoming album, food and liquor 2: ‘the great american rap album part...
