Saul Williams, a spoken word/slam poet of considerable talent, has taken a page from Radiohead's playbook with his new album. He's offering his album The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust (I'm not sure, but I think that just might be a David Bowie reference) on the internet, either for five dollars, or for free. It's produced by Trent Reznor (which makes sense, since Saul was on a couple of tracks on Reznor's Year Zero album).
Oh, and Buck 65's new album is out. I haven't listened to the whole thing yet, just the track I heard at the show and the track on one of the mixtapes he was selling at the show. Which reminds me, Buck is coming to the Cradle in a couple of weeks and everyone should go. If you don't, it's like a hate crime against all of Canadia. You don't hate the Maple Leaf state, do you?
Oh, and I think this post is the actual hundredth post. I thought it had happened earlier, but the little counter I was going by included drafts of things I never posted. So, yeah. Attention has been paid. Right.
