    Hey, We've Got Free Tickets to See Blackalicioius at City Arts Fest

    Last Night: Chali 2na, Gift of Gab, and a Cameo from Lyrics Born at Neumos

    Chali 2na played Neumos Thursday, November 19, with Gift of Gab, Lyrics Born, and Mr. Lif.​Some randoms plucked from my notepad: - Having Mr. Lif open for Chali 2na and Gift of Gab basically just proved that he's at least as good as they are.

    I've Been Listening To No Fi Soul Rebellion, the Curious Mystery and City Light

    Okay, time to own up to something that will probably not be well-received: I am not an Aqueduct fan. It's nothing personal. It is just too poppy for me. So when I saw this three-song City Light sampler on my desk, I saw "Aqueduct side project" and thought...uh oh. I may hate this. But then I saw tha ... More >>
