But it makes total sense to me now. I don’t know when it started, but these days, I’m seeing it everywhere. And I know it’s crazy, and […]

  • P.S.: I’ve started doing podcasts again

    … and you can thank Neil Gorman and Nokia. Listen to see why. (The music is by Greydon Square… thanks Tim.) The RSS feed is still here. Also, for the next 3 months or so, Nokia is sponsoring the show. They sent me an N810 and I chat about it a bit in the thing. […]

    In case you guys weren’t following it, T.I. was arrested the other day after being caught with a bunch of machine guns and silencers. Yeah, I know. Jay Smooth has a great video about it, actually, but what I’d like to talk about is the dichotomy between implied violence and actual violence in hip hop. […]

  • Don’t buy Kanye, Don’t buy 50

    And now, a public service announcement brought to you by Jay Smooth. P.S.: If you’re looking for an album to buy this week, consider Killah Priest instead, which you can listen to on my new episode. (Yeah, I still do a podcast.

  • 150 Episodes: Holy Crap

    How to subscribe. My 150th show, done from the balcony of a hotel room during SXSW 2007. The state and future of the web and of media personalities, my position within the structure, and where I hope to be. It all came out. This was a great show to do.
