What up fam? Just stopping by to show love. Also, don't forget to show love back to me on iTunes. That's right? Your boy is on iTunes. In fact, my new album is not only on iTunes, but it's on Amazon, Napster, eMusic, and Rhapsody. So hopefully you can purchase the album (it's like $7) or at least purchase a track or two, like my jump off joint "Athletes & Frat Boys" or "Monster". Hopefully you can show love as I do. Thanks for being one of my many MySpace friends. I can't reach my dreams without YOU!!
Hey Dude! Hope you're doing well! Here it's been pretty cold there... Hope to be back soon but we'll wait until it gets warmer ;) have a good weekend!!

#1 MANDY wants you to join their band in Rockstars, a game where you can form bands with your friends and play gigs, battle rival bands, and become famous on MySpace!
Thanks for the friend request and adding me as one of your friends. It means a lot yo!! I appreciate the relationship and I don't take this for granted. Keep rocking that El Prezidino music.......I got more bangers coming!!!
Yo Wythe. How's life? How're the words these days? Flowing and glowing, I hope. (now who's the rapper?) My folks and I are playing a show on the 22nd of this month at Arlene's Grocery. You ought to come out; I'd like to talk to you.
THE CONTEST: Listen to our music @ myspace. com/thebigfatt. Send us a description of what you think our music sounds like. The best description wins a sandwich made in front of you or shipped to your door, depending on your location. All descriptions should be submitted via comment or message to myspace. com/thebigfatt. The deadline is June 15th.
THE DESCRIPTION: Don't use adverbs. Avoid abstractions. As William Carlos Williams once choked out between sausage stuffing sessions, "No ideas but in things."
Here's an example of a good description:
"The Big Fatt sound like a steel folding chair smashing a professional wrestler's skull. Repeatedly."
Here's a bad description:
"The Big Fatt suck really really badly. Fuck you Jesse. You fucking suck gently upon all that is gently suckable."
THE SANDWICH: Whatever you want, we'll make it. Pastrami, velveeta, iceberg lettuce, fried potato wedges, powdered milk... if it fits between two pieces of bread, you can ask for it.
Entrance into this contest is not limited to residents of New York City. Out of state winners will have the sandwich of their dreams promptly shipped to them via express mail.
