May 15 (no, 13!) in Victoria

April 30, 2008

So after all the confusion about Vancouver’s Barcode club being shut down and nonexistent, it turns out I was telling people all the wrong city. Shucks.

So, let’s make it official here: May 15, 2008. 10 post-meridian time. AOK will perform with KazMega, Lovely, and eMSee L+P (yes!) at the Barcode in V-I-C-T-O-R-I-A, BC

More changes (if you can believe it): Victoria @ Barcode Tuesday, MAY 13 2008. My sincerest apologies. If it changes again, I’ll buy you a drank.

Comprende?

New reviews I wrote for Exclaim

April 30, 2008

I wrote three rap reviews for Exclaim Magazine this May. Check them out. Definitely give The Camp a look, it’s a real underground treasure.

SOUL Purpose, The Construction

SOUL definitely has talent… unfortunately he exhausts most of it on very “blah” beats and “been there” rhymes.

The Camp, The Campaign

If there’s any camp you want to send your kids to this summer it’s this one.

Mic Boyd, Lost in the Woods

talent-wise, at only the beginning of his career, Mic is where Classified was only a few years ago

So far, everything is A-Okay

A little bit of a problem with the graphics for the album If You Don’t Buy this CD the Terrorists Win today. My pictorial stupidity delayed things a day, but that shouldn’t interfere with the June 7 release date. The CD will be available for order from Amazon.ca, HMV and all other major music outlets, as well as digitally from iTunes, Amazon, and most other e-commerce stores.

If You Don\'t Buy this CD the Terrorists Win, the debut album from A.O.K. on sale June 7.

In the meantime, you can catch me Thursday on CJSR’s Youth Menace Society. I’ll be judging the live battle. (For those who do not know, Youth Menace is the only radio program run and hosted by “troubled” youth–troubled being a total euphemism. The show is pandamondium every time, and I assure you, it will be this Thursday, May 1. If someone doesn’t end up strangled with the mic cord, I will buy you each a Coke.)
