From Pitchfork: Black Sheep’s Native Tongues Reunion Track “Birds of a Feather”

In the late 80s and early 90s, the loosely affiliated Native Tongues crew brought a playful bohemian warmth to hip-hop, helping to expand the genre’s boundaries. And now Black Sheep leader Dres has reunited luminaries from four principal Native Tongues groups (De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, Jungle Brothers, and Black Sheep) for the Black Sheep single “Birds of a Feather”.

Re-imagining JTA

Springfield Car Wash Heading for Appeal

The Springfield car was hype machine is revving back up
Silas Jones is probablly silently singing that O Jay’s song to him self: they smile up in your face, backstabbers. Last month Silas’ carwash was approved by the SPAR and now there are behind-the-scenes efforts to get the approval reversed by some on the SPAR board.

Many supporters of the carwash say this negatively impacts the development of the neighborhood by devoting energy to sqaushing a project instead of working with the business owner to help him push his project forward. At this point Silas Jones has spent about $400,000, according to some.

• The Art Show will be upstairs at Burrito Gallery from 11p – 1a, Three Olive martinis will be free for of-age art lovers.
• Afterparty – The official afterparty on Friday is at Birdies. TSI has said they will let ticketholders in to TSI for free that night.
• The official afterparty on Saturday night is at The Pearl. It will be DJed by the musicians from Conmoto.
• Beforeparty – Dinner with the bands. Bands will receive a 20% discount at Burrito Gallery on Friday and Saturday. Festers are invited to come hang with the bands from 4 – 630 both nights before the shows start.

Worst picture ever, but it’s all good. This was not our worst show ever, probably one of our best. Not only do we talk about Conmoto, we also talk about FRAM or Farmers at RAM and Bikevemberfest at RAM.
