Friday, January 24, 2014 at 8:55AM I've written about producer Git and emcee Hubbs a few times this past year. I've also tried to support the pair by ordering their albums, 7"s etc. This week they dropped a brand new full length entitled, Piece of Mind. I found time on Wednesday to listen to it while at work. Head nods turned to confusion when my brain tried to tell me that I was listening to my own voice. Sure enough, they had sampled a portion of my episode of local podcast You Big Dumb Idiot (I was the hip-hop expert on that show a few months back). It blew my mind a bit. So surreal. Dig the cut below and then hop on over to their bandcamp page where you can stream and/or buy the album.

I had a blast (as expected) but really felt the heat during the games portion. Thanks to Andrew and Lindsey for listening to me babble.
Tuesday, September 10, 2013 at 8:34AM My wife and her buddy Andrew Schiver have launched a brand new podcast called You Big Dumb Idiot. The idea is to have a special guest each week and discuss topics that the well-meaning hosts are not well versed in. Two episodes in and I'm already giving this thing my endorsement. Full disclosure, I wrote the theme song but did so without hearing any of it first. Throw this on - it'll brighten your morning.
