WQFS Is The Girl From The Bus. Remember? The Last Tour?
She’s wise and sexy, even if she is a bit of a mess.
I’ll be hanging out with Josh Neas on his Indie Rock Mayhem show (WQFS - 90.9 FM) this Wednesday evening at 6:30pm — talking some DMP, playing a few tracks from our live albums and pimping this Thursday night’s Possum Jenkins w/ Tom Beardslee show.
Give us a shout @ 336-316-2444 at the station and come on out to the show. It’s free, you know.
DMP On Worker’s Playtime, WQFS
I’m heading over to Guilford College later today to chat it up with Kathy Clark during her Worker’s Playtime slot on 90.9 WQFS.
We’ll talk some DMP and spin some tracks from the live albums we’ve been recording. If that interests you, pop on over around 12:45pm.

GPD: Do As We Say, Not As We Do

We have some really dumb “throwing out the baby with the bath water” laws in Greensboro, NC. My favorite example is the outlawed use of skateboards downtown.
The city legislated a ban of certain types of recreational transportation from operating in a certain area of downtown. Apparently, the city council views skateboarders and roller skaters to be in the same category as graffiti and broken windows when attempting to deter criminal offenses.
But with rising gas prices and weak public transportation options, wouldn’t you think the city would be supportive of all alternative means of transportation? Instead, they operate with blunt strokes, where the ends justify the means.
How about ratcheting down the buzz kill level to simply stopping kids from grinding on property other than their own? No matter, Chuck Johnson is on the case now.
Btw, if a cop rolled up on me riding that scooter, I’d piss myself laughing.
Presenting The “(h)Air ?uesto 1″
If anyone in Hip Hop deserves their own sneaker line, it’s ?uestlove from The Roots. Dude is a true innovator. I guess Nike agrees, as they just hooked him up:
I so would’ve rocked these red, green and gold leopard print kicks with my white boy jean jacket and Levi’s back in ‘86. That would be on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with my classic Vans and original Jordans filling out the rest of the week.
Release date: August 1, 2008.
UPDATE: ?uestlove describes the design process and why he’s a sneaker culture freak:
UPDATE II: And the day of the Philly release:
