so i saw james brown - which was kinda cool.
he was really just a blur in a shiny red suit
who posed and danced and spoke and sang a tiny
bit (not that anyone understood him)
there was a really funny moment where this guy
appeared from offstage with this white velvet,
rhinestone encrusted cloak, and james posed
front-stage-left, mic in hand, while his accomplice
draped the rhinestones over his shoulders for a
split second photo-op and then whipped it off and
headed back offstage. really odd.
but the band was hot, and so was the crowd.
saw z-trip --- that was phat. really reeeally good
show. and talib kweli -who was rad, but got blown out
the water by jean grae ---: that woman is truly
awesome. she ripped the hell out that mic and was cheeky
and charming and mega dirty. at one point as the song
finishes she turns around and goes 'melbourne ya fuckin
cunts!' in this faux oz accent and i was like, she
knows whats goin on - while talib stood there goin 'hey..
that's not very nice' etc. what a cack.
plus i have a place to live, new crew to recruit and much
much production collaboration creation and reinvention to
begin upon. i got a room in a loft in a warehouse sharing with my
bro.
so if any body is down melbourne way - come visit. it's too good
not too be seen. i'll post some photos when i get it decked out.
