New Orleans: Vote!

To all our folks from the Crescent City, good luck with the vote tomorrow! For a hip-hop take, here’s an official League? of Really Pissed Off ?Voters Guide.

In other news, the new Wax Poetics is here, including a gratuitous Mac Mall shout-out and a sick history of Black Rio. No better way to spend a few hours this weekend.

Special Performance by
The Dollar Bin Quintet (A turntable band with 4 DJS and a live Drummer)

A new evolution in sound, The Dollar Bin Quintet
is an innovative combination of four world class
scratch DJs and Live Funky Drums to create original
music. Revolutionary DJs and veteran Bay Area
turntablists Teeko, Max Kane, B-Cause, and Mike Boo
transform their turntables into non-traditional
instruments utilizing select records to produce a
musical soundscape of melodies, percussion and tone
that is unbelievable. Layered on top of a tremendous
back beat by Cleveland Ohio’s Funky Drummer J1, this
new band represents an evolution in live music. A
Dollar Bin Quintet show is more than a performance,
it’s an all out party! Playing music that ranges from
expansive experimental jazz to explosive funk romps
for the dance floor. The DBQ is bringing new textures
and styles in sound. Breaking new ground in today’s
music scene. Setting new standards for the future of
funk.
