The LB fellas were in town tonight, but it was not the show I had expected. And now it makes sense why I didn't find out about the show until 2/3 days before. They weren't the headliner act AND it was on Landsdowne Street. Wackness personified. This other group named Fort Minor were the main attraction and I've heard some of their tracks because one of mentees is feeling them, but it is not the stuff of lore. So whatever. By the time I rolled up, the LB set was already taking place AND there was ony about 15 minutes left. And I don't make more than a doller a minute, so an about-face is what the doorman got. I'll just have to wait until thay come back to town and hit up the Paradise like last time. Plus, the line and crowd were covered in snow. I'm fine with hip-hop's diversity, but sometimes you wonder who the hell puts on these shows. Definitely some under the radar shT. Not too mention that Fort Minor's songs NEVER even get played on 88.9. You know why? Because they fuqing suck. Well, at least that's my theory. But yet again, the dudes on the grind pushing the envelope of artistry still get seated at the back of the bus of marketing & promotion.
Saturday will be a whirlwind marathon of a day that I am in no way prepared for, so hopefully I'll make it through it unscathed. The Lady Saints have an away game and Springfield is not working out with the day's schedule, so the #1 fan will have to sit this one out. But hopefully the midget won't still be whining like he has been this past week. Definitely not a good look. Crossing fingers...
