?uestlove came to Nashville to support our continued pursuit of epicness and massive it was. I originally considered running down 80 adjectives trying to paint how amazing the whole scene was and how relentless ?uest is on the mix…but simple words wouldn’t suffice in the least.

Video footage forthcoming but know and understand that Dee Goodz, Chance Warhol and DJ Wick-It held it down for the town. My camo cap goes off to Dee who stepped outside of comfort zone and usual crowd to make his mark. I never gauge how I feel about an artist’s performance solely on crowd reaction, knowing that sometimes an audience may hold back on giving props.

To our 615′ers, remember that ?uestlove will be holding fort @ Mai tomorrow night. Also added to tomorrow night’s soiree are performances from Dee Goodz and Chance Warhol. Ticket sales have been good and steady and we thank everyone for their support. There’s still a few reduced priced tickets available @ Bullets & Mullets Read the rest of this entry »

Two of the year’s best albums – Big Boi’s Sir Luscious… and The Black Keys’ Brothers – mashed and thrown together? As twisted as the idea sounds, turntabilist Wick-It’s ballsy concoction yields pretty surprising results as Antwan Patton sounds like a lost Keys’ band member. If you’re sketchy, check “You Ain’t The Next DJ” and “Everlasting Shine Blockaz” for reference and then act accordingly. As Big says, it’s “a lil somethin to say Stank you to the music lovers” and we thank him back. Read the rest of this entry »
