Two of my "friends" just got back from Brokeback and were trying to tell me that Mylo is making a short detour up to Vancouver for a show. Kinda weird that he would cancel all his dates and just play a one-off in the 'Couv but whatever it's probably a Canada to Scotland connect. Anyways, I guess tickets are on sale for this shit May 2 at The Plaza Club get them here.

Wait, So Michael Jackson is chillin' ?
So, I was reading some stuff today and thinking about just how bugged out Jacko must be. But then I got all confused. Are Whoo Kid's anecdotes true? Did he actually say all those things to MJ? Whatever, i'm pretending like he did, mainly because of priceless shit like this - "Mike was like, 'Whoo Kid, come sit over here,' the DJ said in a high-pitched voice, mimicking Jackson." Just imagine Mike saying that. I know I can, and i'm laughing out loud. I would just really like to know, in what context Michael Jackson was first exposed to people like Eminem and 50 Cent. You know? Like, did somebody play them for him and who the fuck was it? And if he knows about them, how far down the mainstream rap rabbit whole can we go? If he knows about 50 Cent, he probably knows about Lil' Jon? I mean, he certainly knows about Usher. So couldn't you imagine him asking, "Who made that music for the 'Yeah' song?" I don't know, maybe i'm out of my league. But the point is, do you think he knows about the Neptunes, or Timbaland, and if he doesn't, for the love of god, could somebody (i'm looking at you Sheikh Abdullah bin Hamad Al-Khalifa) please invite them to the pool party next time?

Thanks Don!
I woke up this morning and found this mixtape Don had picked up (I think!) Dipset/Prince mash-up shit. And even with how played that whistle song was last summer, and how doubl-ee played that mashup shit was, I'm totally feeling this. If the link doesn't work (I doubt it will), just cop it from myspace.
