Stop Being a Bitch All Your Life

Trae Album in stores now and it might just save your life. Life lessons abound on this one.

Please stop calling me, I am busy with the BBC this week. See Trae LIVE IN HOUSTON THURSDAY NIGHT AT WAREHOUSE LIVE. Details below. FREE.

Oasis preps 'definitive' set

Stop the Clocks, a double CD of hits, B-sides, and Oasis' "finest moments ever," will hit stores November 20.

Six albums and 12 years on, Oasis is set to release a double CD retrospective picked by the band itself and labeled as the "definitive collection."

But the 18-track collection, dubbed Stop the Clocks and set to hit stores November 20, is not a standard greatest-hits package. In addition to hits like "Supersonic," "Wonderwall," and "The Importance of Being Idle," the set will include Oasis B-sides like "Acquiesce" and "Half the World Away."

"Having spent 10 months on the road in support of the two million-selling Don't Believe The Truth, Stop the Clocks is released as Oasis take a well-earned sabbatical prior to starting work on new material," the band said in announcing the compilation. "As such, this is not a full stop, but merely a time out."

Oasis' debut album, 1994's Definitely Maybe, was voted as the greatest album of all time by British music fans, according to a survey taken by British Hit Singles & Albums and NME.com, the Web site of the music news weekly New Music Express. The band's follow-up, (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, allows Oasis to join only the Beatles and Radiohead with two albums in the top 10.

Friendly Fire

Friendly Fire, the solo album from Sean Lennon, will be released on Parlophone on October 2nd.

Following Into the Sun, Lennon’s acclaimed 1998 solo debut, Friendly Fire is a cinematic suite of songs which share the same dizzying wealth of musical styles as its predecessor, but eschews some of its freeform tendencies for more traditional song structure and some unifying themes.

“There was a long period after the first album where I felt disillusioned with the machinery of the industry,” says Lennon. “It’s not that I stopped recording, playing and performing, I did all of those things, just more discreetly. Friendly Fire is an experiment to see what it might be like to do music more publicly again.”

Produced by Lennon, the Friendly Fire sessions really got underway when he asked producer/engineer Tom Biller (among other things Jon Brion’s trusted mixer for his recordings with Fiona Apple and Kanye West, as well as for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) and drummer Matt Chamberlain (Pearl Jam, Tori Amos) into the studio for two weeks of collaboration.

Where Lennon played most all instruments on his debut, the Friendly Fire sessions found him still writing most of the parts, but conjuring a shape-shifting “band” to record live to tape, mostly in single takes. Other participants included Jon Brion (organ, guitar, additional drums), Cibo Matto’s Yuka Honda (piano, keyboards, bass), Harper Simon (guitar) and Bijou Phillips (background vocals), among others.

A childlike piano prelude introduces sweeping album opener “Dead Meat,” the sweetest, most lush-sounding song to ever warn “In the end you’re gonna learn/All you get is what you deserve.” Similarly, the dark romanticism of the gentle, melodic “Parachute” intones “If I have to die tonight/I’d rather be with you.”

Lennon has also produced a short film for each of the album’s tracks, directed by Michele Civetta. The fantastical shorts, which together comprise a conceptual film about betrayal and the failure of love, feature appearances from Lennon and friends including Lindsay Lohan, Bijou Phillips, Asia Argento, Carrie Fisher, Devon Aoki, Jordana Brewster and others.

A Great Day in Houston - DJ Screwfest 2006!

Before we get into my review of and photos from DJ Screwfest I need to remind you that this Thursday July 27th is our HoustonSoReal LIVE Event with BBC 1xtra. DJ Semtex will be in town all week and it is going down. If you have mot RSVP'd yet, you need to do so now. Send your name(s) to BBCHoustonEvent@gmail.com and you will be in.

And to all who have emailed so far, I will be sending out confirmations tonight. Print 'em out and bring 'em to the door!



Anyway, see you Thursday. Below please find over 70 photos from yesterdays First Annual DJ Screw Fest. Believe me when I say it was off the chain. If you can't see it in the photos then you ain't looking. Peace to everyone involved and I hope to see it again next year.

Only complaint is that well, if I knew that Devin and Bun B were not even in town, I am quite sure the promoters did as well. I didn't hear too many shouts of Devin the Dude coming up later, but I sure did hear "THIS WILL BE THE FIRST TIME UGK IS ON STAGE TOGETHER IN OVER 4 YEARS!" On the radio all the way there, and being hollered from the stage. I know that "no shows" are normal in the rap world, but that bullshit has got to stop.

Anyway, enjoy the photos as much as I enjoyed the event! (Which inceidentally was Elena's first concert. She can tell all her friends her first real concert was SLIM THUGGA MUTHAFUCKA!)

And my good folks from What it Dew Magazine

All in all it was a great day that faced, but overcame some obstacles and I'ma assume everyone had a great time. I was fucking psyched in the end. What a wonderful, wonderful event. I'm ready for next years event. Though I mean, you really don't HAVE to have it around Screw's birthday, I mean, I'm thinking October would be good. There was a time this day where I thought I was gonna fall out from the heat. Man, for real. I don't generally hang in parking lots on 95 degree days. Wow. But it was worth every ounce of sweat. Thanks for the free beers and the great vibes. If you missed out, I'm sorry for you.
