If you contact us here and wish for us to be your "friend" and/or would like to send us material...
1. Rappers, please be on point and be able NOT to mimick Eminem or sound like your average Crunk rapper. Originality is key, and having your own fucking identity is the point and the name of the game. 2. If you're a band, please, please, please, have that same originality in your music. If I hear another Interpol or someone else ripping off Jawbox so much that they should be paying them royalties I'll just kill myself.
Music
We're not constricted by genres. Where does one begin with a description of the music he loves so much. South Bronx, a plethora of music existed the screamed out of a number of GhettoBlasters. I was as much influenced by The Clash as by Afrika Bambaataa. I won't front, disco permeated through the speakers of my various relatives stereos, growing up as a kid. Afros, platforms, Ses; it was all in or around my peripheral view.
