Normally, I would congratulate an upcoming artist but I cannot. Chalie Boy is a perfect example of what has happened to "mainstream" music. Where did we go wrong, was it Master P?
But I must admit, I've never seen a music video where a guy sits on the hood of a car holding a towel and taking about how "fly" he is and how much money he spent on a watch that belongs on a clown. The originality must have been the selling point to these hopeless teens, you stood no chance.
Just wanted to let you guys know that I've been listening to Bodies of Water all freaking day. It's such lovely inspiration. Thanks for being so kickass, gentlemen. Peace. <333
thank you so much for making great music. your album was the theme of our summer. whenever i think back to summer 09, i'll think of how your music was always on in the background during whatever we were doing. i love you!
any chance you gents might find your way to the west coast, say, pacific nw specifically? there are some of us here-portland and seattle, that are feeling a little neglected. you are some very gifted individuals. thank you for that.
Hoping I get to see you guys for the Pygmalion Music Festival. All of the festival passes are sold out, but I might still be able to check out your set at Red Herring. Here's hoping!
