Tonight at High Dive: Saturday Knights, Dyme Def, and Cancer Rising.
My Philosophy Larry speaks with Cancer Rising Gatsby:
Larry: This is a helluva bill tonite. For my money, the best night of local hiphop possible.
Gats: Oh, “for my money”? Dumbass, you’re broke. Keep kissing that ass, clown. Assclown!
Larry: Dunno why you’re so goddamn surly…nobody’s coming to see you guys. Oh wait, there’s the reason!
Gats: You my friend can suck it. Our show is widely known to be fire…
Lar: (yawns)Uh Huh.
Gats: …and our record is killing KEXP right now!
Lar: Whatever.
Gats: Yeah, whatever. It’s your fuckin fault we can’t get any ink anyway!
Lar: Wah. Cry about it. Anyway, The Saturday Knights are the shit. They’re infectious. Nobody is making music like them, anywhere. The local hiphop scene better scramble to claim them as theirs before they blow the fuck up and the indie rock crowds tell us ‘told you so’.
Gats: Oh listen to Critic Guy talk! You’re right of course. There is no better song than “Motorin”.
Lar: Thank you. And as far as straight-up hiphop, Dyme Def are killing everything, they’re outta control and I know their next record is gonna blow minds. If this town has any chance of producing breakout major-label rap stars it’s them.
Gats: Cosign. I’m also amazed you didn’t use the word ‘swagger’ there. Everybody else does.
Lar: Clever. How’s that working out for you?
Gats: What’s that?
Lar: Being clever.
Gats: …Dick.
Lar: Ding-Dong!
Mad swagger, Trent.
Skhizzo, yo. I dig it.
On a recent, miserably rainy Saturday, I was driving and listening to Kid Hops doing his usual big things with Positive Vibrations.
Noon came too soon and I was bummed. There were still many miles to go. But, before I could find a CD to listen to, some smart person on KEXP played a song that made me pause.
It was like the soundtrack to a sunny day in the early '70's, hanging out in someone's backyard. Soulful, funky, and smooth.
Didn't catch the name of the tune, just the band: Cancer Rising. Fuck yeah, dudes. I gotta start paying more attention to y'all.
Tonight's show will blow the roof off the joint. That is a stellar, good time bill.
He should have asked him, "What's an L-cone Danger"?
D!ng Dong!
What's an L-cone Danger?
I've always wondered that myself....

'l-cone danger' aka 'El-Co on Daytons'

DING DONG
