Well, since good hip-hop has been few and far between these last couple of years, I've been constantly looking for something to fill that gap. I found out about Boards of Canada when they released their Geogaddi album... I can't recommend their music enough. It's hard to describe what type of...

Clothing: I remember I had the same wardrobe for 3 years, and eventually I had to wear purple pants to school because I had nothing else to wear, that shit was so embarrassing haha, but...
I haven't been to many shows in the last few years, but here's the ones I can remember:

They're giving away the software free for a limited time, I would suggest people here d/l it and check it out. It might come in handy during those times where hard drives go bad or you delete something by accident.
For those who don't know who Paul C is, everyone should read this article. He was a hip-hop pioneer in much the same way Marley Marl was, but you'll probably never see his name anywhere.

Any tips for all the cats who have already got their licenses? Got my appointment this upcoming Wednesday. I've been delaying it for the past 8 years, so I figure now it's about time!
