It’s September, 2nd 2010… or 9-02-10! Get it, get it!? Good, cause it’ll never, ever happen again in your lifetime bud. So live it up, David Silver style! Or go celebrate over at dlisted.

While, granted, the landscape of music has changed over the past few years with artists choosing to distribute their own music, like-minded individuals starting their own labels to push their musical aesthetic forward, and the rise of digital media over CDs, none has been so instantaneous as the advent of Twitter.

A couple of months ago, Grime/Eski founding father, Wiley (@OFFICIALWILEY), publicly fired his manager and set free over 200 vocal and instrumental cuts in a massive purge of 11 zip files which you can collect right here!

Joining in the giveaway as of late is grime super-producer, Terror Danjah (@TerrorDanjah), who just followed three releases this year by throwing out a stack of 20 instrumental mp3s called Hardstrumentals all zipped up and ready to be devoured (though your eardrums might feel it’s the other way around).

But before Terror Danjah did that he also offered up giveaway earlier of his 2007 compilation, Shock to the System. Go grab both!

Not limited to just production, you’ve also got the likes of 2000F & J Kamata, who had one of the largest tunes of last year with “You Don’t Know What Love Is” on Hyperdub. The two are finally showcasing their DJ chops with nothing less than an EPIC 9-hour mix that jumps from genre to genre and somehow remains cohesive.

Go grab Dukkehus Monstermix and clear you calendar!

And, you’ve got the mysterious powerhouse that is SALEM dropping yet another dragged-out, druggy, screwed-up and screwed-down mixtape which always is seemingly greater than its parts and seems much longer than its runtime. Go grab I Buried My Heart Inna Wounded Knee and start the preparing for Salem’s debut album, King Night out in September.

One could get into the politics of management and big labels and contracts and how business affects and/or limits artistic expression, but I’ll save that for the PhD candidates. In the end, we’ve all still just been given a bunch of great free music, so enjoy it.

Ok well it’s not that Kenny Powers and this already happened in 1976… But I don’t know, maybe this is where Danny McBride got the inspiration from for the name? Both Kenny Powers seem to fail miserably so I wouldn’t be surprised.

I wouldn’t mind seeing KP attempt a stunt on the “Panty Dropper.” But then again I have Eastbound and Down on the brain. I can’t wait for the new season to start!

So it’s been talked about on Violent J’s twitter for a bit and it’s finally here! His first born son Violent JJ’s debut music video that is. Honestly, I’m at a loss for words. I mean it’s cool that the kid seems to be living the dream life, but the whole thing still reeks of “WTF is going on here!?”

I’ll let you guys check it out and give your opinions, hate, LoLove, whateverthefuck. Until next time, enjoy or something…

I bet YuDu!  Full disclosure, YuDu used some of our Fall 2010 graphics for this infomercial in exchange for hooking us up with our own sweet YuDu set-up. I think it’s our best season ever. Really feeling the butterfly design Mike Jones did the most.

I’ve dreamed of the day that we would finally know more about one of the greatest emcees to ever do it on the mic. I actually even had the idea to try and attempt to do something just like this a few months ago… but now thankfully there is no need because we’re finally going to go deep, way deep into the story behind the “People’s Champion”, the one, thee only, Eli Porter.

Walker Warren is currently in the middle of working on a full documentary chronicling the most epic Iron Mic battle ever held at Chamblee High School. A Battle of such magnitude that it captivated the world and inspired millions. Well Warren has now gone and now presented us with a trailer for his film.

I’m in the middle of working on a documentary about YouTube celeb Eli Porter + the entire ‘Iron Mic’ saga which is responsible for his Internet fame in the first place. Mr. Porter decided to upload his own video update on his personal YouTube account just last night. To back up his claim that he does in fact have a documentary in the works and in a move to support his recent decision to resurface on his own accord, we’ve decided to unleash the trailer to our documentary a little sooner than we had expected to. Early or not, no lie; this is definitely not one to miss; I hereby present to you the trailer for “People’s Champion” – The Legend of Eli Porter…

This documentary has it all! Watch the trailer… You’ll see Eli today (unfortunately it looks like he needs dialysis treatments) along with Marv-O, J-Dubb, Jonathan Hodges and of course my main man, Steven “Action” Jackson. I can’t tell but I think Envy is probably also in this. He has to be, no?

This is a momentous day for the internet…nay the world! Since this project isn’t yet finished there is no set date for release. We’ll of course be all over this shit like it’s Witch House with constant updates until you grow tired of it. You have my word.

Oh and if you needed a reminder of why this is kinda a big deal… put that cat on the grill…

Eli, you truly are the best mayng, the best.

Me? I Love it LOTS.

Everyone knows what dingleberries are…right?

You’ll have to take this with a grain of salt because it’s being credited to an “anonymous sourc,” but there’s an article circulating suggesting that Mike Judge is planning on bringing Beavis & Butt-Head back for a much deserved encore?

The source conceded that plans for actual broadcast are not yet cemented, or even a given, but confirmed that the King of the Hill/Office Space/Idiocracy maestro is definitely in the midst of writing new B and B material with the hopes of a full-throttle return.

Even better news for fans is that, should this come to pass, Judge plans on retaining the show’s original ghetto-tech aesthetic, right down to the faded color palatte. The source also reveals that the Extract director intends on keeping B and B‘s format identical to its original sketch-videos-sketch incarnation, but with more contemporary music clips for the cartoon slacker-duo to skewer.

Again this could all of course be B.S. but I tend to get excited at anything Mike Judge is working on so a return to Beavis & Butt-Head, while I’m keeping my hopes and expectations low, this still brings a smile to my face and a shirt over my head.

The only hiccup I can foresee with this report possibly being false is that I think MTV owns the rights to Beavis & Butt-Head so even if Judge wants to do the show again, MTV has to want to also air or produce it.

If this is true I hope they bring back the whole music video element of the show. My god imagine Chillwave, LCD Soundsystem, Blog House, Animal Collective, my god even Witch House being discussed by Beavis & Butt-Head!??

And by “Hittin the Pineapple Express” I don’t mean the cross joint… Possibly the best news ever in the hopes of ever seeing another big adventure hit Variety yesterday when the reported that Judd Apatow would be developing Pee-Wee’s next turn in film.

Pic is described as featuring the iconic geek — known for his love of toys and nerdy catchphrases like “I know you are, but what am I?” — in a road pic built around “a gigantic adventure.”

See that there? A road pic built around “a gigantic adventure.” No tents, No acrobats, just exactly what we all want from another Pee-Wee movie… even if it may be a little redundant. Paul Reubens is writing the script with Paul Rust who variety claims he wrote Inglorious Basterds and I Love You, Beth Cooper, but IMDB says something different! Either way I have no clue who he is and I’m just going to hope for the best because there’s no way Tim Burton’s ever regaining his touch.

In the meantime for those of you who for some reason don’t already know, Pee-Wee will be bringing his stage show over to Broadway for 10 weeks starting in late October. Keep the goodwill train rolling Pee-Wee and stay out of the adult theaters until this movie is shot goddammit! Until then…

From the mixed up flies of Mrs. Rachel E. Hateball comes this tasty morsel:

The massive skull and jaw of a 13-million-year-old sperm whale has been discovered eroding from the windblown sands of a coastal desert of Peru.

The giant 3-meter (10-foot) skull of what’s been dubbed Leviathan melvillei (in honor of the author of “Moby Dick”) was found with teeth in its top and bottom jaws up to 36 centimeters (14 inches) long.

I’m pretty sure I love everything about this: the discovery of a giant prehistoric sea-mammal. Naming it after Herman Melville, the author of Moby Dick. And of course, the fact that it was likely to perpetrate some serious fluke-on-fluke crime. Sort of like the Suge Knight of prehistoric whales.

Gangster.
