SAVAGE SEVERE

MARZ RADIO

I've really been enjoying Marley Marl's weekday 6pm megamix which broadcasts on the legendary WBLS . He does a midday mix but the evening hour is where he lets loose. Just as it was with Rap Attack feat. Mr. Magic & Fly Ty (not me) - dope breaks & street house hustle.

The other night it was SO warm and steamy - it seemed like a good idea to escape to the cool cave of creativity. I joined some special guests on the air for a live broadcast from MARZ RADIO. Fun!

TELEPORTATION

IT IS 2010! Why aren't we TELEPORTING yet? Its TIME! Oil is so old and outdated and clearly a big MESS. Windpower would be nice but what's taking so long. We're talking BIG FANS!?! Solar = no-brainer.

I saw this scene while walking down a residential street in Brooklyn. What is this, BladeRunner? Am I in the trenches?

A DESERTED DESERT

I deserted the interweb version of the SAVAGE SEVERE to actually live it. 2 months is too long though.

My head also has been full of odd ball situations all over the map - so been a bit intro. Such is life - inside outside upside.

Recently I had a chance to catch a mind blowing premier - Omar Souleyman live in the deserts of Redhook. And it did feel like a desert - with 90 deg. heat - dusty spaces - and atmospheric stone caves where the performance took place.

I think this was Souleyman's first performance in the US. He is a Syrian vocalist, crooner, and hype man all in one. His videographer and MC was a presence as well (not pictured - had to see this). The man behind the music on keyboards provided live production.

The first time I went to SF CA, I made a visit to Berkley's Indian zone on the hunt for soundtrack tapes. There were rows and rows of Souleyman's music. There was so much I decided on nothing. Fate would allow me to experience this live later.

LAMEO

What can I say - Ive been on the road for the better part of the month of May.

All I have to offer for now is this, a doc for the original Last House on the Left. I watched the 2009 version in my hotel room the other night (Chicago) and it freaked the sh&t outta me...you know the kind of thing where you're talking to the video screen, "You turned your back on them again!"..."Oh, look at his face"..."His legs were dangling"..."His head exploded!". RULED!

EASY BUTTON

This is going to be a tough match-up. Look at that 4 on 1. That's what it takes cause stuff gets ugly. I'd almost rather see a LAX vs. CLE match up in the Finals...it'll be a rematch to this when the fans were the ugly ones. LA fans are such babies. BTW, is that Snoop Dog, front row there with the santa shades in that freeze frame?
