"Based" Podcast: #4

After a 2 week break, Scotty Stark and I are back with a full fledged convo on the ins and outs of the hip-hop game and other musings.

Oh, and here is the best introduction to a rapper ever. Simple and short.

Our soundcloud experiment maybe done soon considering the upload limit on a free account is so low. If anybody has any good ideas on hosting, please feel free to share. Otherwise, you know the deal Right-click, save as and enjoy.

Guess what? Peyton Manning is a Bronco

Due to an irregular sleeping pattern I awoke around 12 pm today. I came across my phone which I had left upstairs to charge overnight. I glanced at the 3 unread messages, which all invariably carried the message, "Congrats on Peyton" in some form or the other. Later in the day, when I logged onto the facebook I would realize not all my friends were gracious in Mr. Manning's choice of the future. And if they weren't dismissing Manning signing, they were quick to jump on the other "go to" Broncos' insult -- dissing Tebow. I can note nothing more original than dissing a starting QB in the NFL. A position that only has 32 placements in entire world, in a manner of looking at a sports organization as any commercial entity that is looking to achieve max. success and profitability, you can't help but call the season of Tebow a success simply in the fact they were able to sell these and even more of these.

Break Even Point: Peyton Manning & NHL

Apparently KD and I can't keep up with the rigorous schedule of putting out a weekly podcast. Who knew the discipline it would take to make a weekly podcast.

We'll try to make an amends by giving you two podcasts in either .m4a  or .mp3 format for your listening pleasure. In the first podcast, we look at the Manning saga unfolding across America, as the newly neck fused Peyton Manning crosses back and forth between facilities looking for a team to quarterback next fall (here's hoping he lands in Denver).

In Review: Mitchmatic's "It's Probably Raining"

I first came across the hip-hop/jazz musician Mitchmatic in the summer of 2010 at the then annual Bank summer tent event. That July evening he opened for the likes of Big Boi of Outkast fame. Irrespective of any comparison talk, having the ability to say you opened for Big Boi is something that any musician could hang their hat on. Since that time, Mitch Holtby has honed in on his craft. And it hasn't just been his lyricism as an MC. The thing that one notices from this artist is how mutli-faceted he is. At the event I attended he brought along his MPC (an electronic drum machine) on stage. For me, back then this might have been my most memorable memory of the young MC that night. It seemed trivial that he'd be able to impress a crowd with a small machine that is better suited for the production studio than a stage. Instead he rocked his set with the MPC and lyrics to boot. Very early on in the set, the crowd was treated with  what can't be considered contemporary or traditional hip-hop. Mitchmatic's approach to hip-hop is enhanced with his rich music knowledge  which he uses to break down the traditional borders of what one expects to hear when they hear hip-hop.

Kilzor: "Risk"

2 years ago I made a post sharing one of the comics a good friend of mine gave me after all his failed attempts to make the school's newspaper. I meant to post a fair share of them online but have failed to do so over the last year and a bit. I feel it's absolutely necessary to share these comics to the world as I think they are absolutely hilarious but I guess I'll let you decide on that. Without further ado, I bring to you another installment of Kilzor: The Killer Robot

"Based" Podcast: A$am & Scotty Stark

Scotty Stark and I are back at it again. You'll notice that we finally gave a title to our formerly untitled hip-hop podcast. We're going by the name of "Based" Podcast, and if you don't know what that means, I can't help you. Ask Scotty though. He might help you out. Anyways in this 22 minute podcast we look at:
