Amy wrote in to tell us about a Devin the Dude event! So if you ain't got no job... and you ain't got shit to do... show up at Music Mania this Wednesday, March 14th at 2pm. Sounds like they'll have a bunch of free vinyls and goodies... AND meet Devin! Thanks Amy!

So went to Houston this weekend for my high school friend's wedding reception. Congrats Jim! Well... we went to 300 at the IMAX. Now that's one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. It was sick. Girls we went with didn't really like it though...

Phranchyze - Light Bar - March 8, 2007

I have yet to see this cat Phranchyze on the mic... but you can check out some dope stuff here and on March 8th at Light Bar.

So I've got a question... if you've got bloody stool... can that also be called a bloody a$$hole? And what does having bloody stool mean is happening physically? Maybe I should just Google it.

What do you get when you combine the NERDiness of the Virginia sound, the swagger of the south,the bone crushing bars of the east coast, and a stage performance that'll make the meanest hyphy acts instantly begin to hate? One need look no farther than Texas resident Phranchyze A.kA. Phran1 to get the answer. After the release of The Group Therapy full length, and the Rhyme Drive and ATX-men Mixtapes, Phran is looking to reload with a new full length album entitled,"Errybody Hates Me" which is sure to set fire to radios and cd players everywhere.When asked why he picked such a combative title, the usually outspoken Phran simply replies,"That's how I feel right about now. The last year I've personally been through alot of bullshit, some of it was my fault and some of it wasn't." When asked to elaborate he basically says,"Just dealing with relationships man. Wether professionally,friendships,girls, it's been a very trying year, so I've just been documenting it all on paper and putting my thoughts into songs."
