R.A.P statt E.K.G



First show, done & done. Sorry that I didn't make a big annoucement. I had a lot of things on my mind and I just wanted to get the first show out of the way. Just to say, "Hey...I did it...it worked". And when I say "I", I mean "We" as in, me and my roomie Zilv.

A couple of months ago, this was just a random idea about doing a radio show with U.S. rap presented in German & German rap presented in English. And now we've actually done it...

Sound quality-wise, there's no place to go but up. Still some bugs to work out in the mastering/pre-production process. Also saying relevant things in a meaningful way. It's definitely a learning-by-doing effort.

Anyway, for those who missed out, you can hear the first (completely unmastered) show here:



For future reference (I'll send out reminders from now on) "R.A.P statt E.K.G." can be heard every second Friday of the month from 5pm-7pm on the Hamburg radio station FSK 93,0 (antenna) or 101,4 (cable) or click/save this link for the live stream.

The next show will be on February 12, 2010.

We'll be launching a website/blog so that I don't have to put radio stuff up on this page. I'll keep you advised.

Highway to hell? Maybe for a very short time, but as long as I can remember I was always down with the PP. Anyways, I see what I can do ringtone-wise. This will of course lead to me not picking up the phone as I won't notice it's my phone making that noise...

The Best Taco Bell in Germany

 Last weekend, I crossed off a major item on my bucket list. I went to Taco Bell in Germany. "But Raven, shouldn't you aspire to better, healthier things that have a measurable positive impact on society?" I know that's what you're thinking, but I don't really give a crap... because you are not the boss of me.  I wanted Taco Bell, because it's probably the one thing from back at home that I crave the most. Say what you want about it (again, I don't give a crap), but get at me when you've spent years away from your homeland and are unable to acquire whatever nasty-ass comfort food is available wherever you're from. For me, my nasty-ass comfort food of choice is Taco Bell...with Sonic a close second. However, you can't even find Sonic all over the U.S. and I don't find myself craving burgers and hot dogs all the time (plus, those urges are a lot easier to satisfy than a craving for Mexican or Tex-mex).

The One Who Got Away (Part 6): PLOT TWIST

Quick Translation: This confirms that German citizenship will not be opposed, if within two years it can be verified that the aforementioned person no longer possesses citizenship for Trinidad and Tobago e   and/or has fulfilled the requirements for the loss of this citizenship and that nothing has happened in the meantime, which would forbid naturalization.  I almost forgot what it felt like to receive a industrial size dose of 100% homegrown German bureaucratic pedantry. Luckily, the German authorities will never leave you too long without a fix. You can count on that. As you can see from the picture above (and from my previous posts), Trinidad and Tobago e  had only been mentioned once in passing up until now, when I finalized my application and paid the fee. Mr. S: Your mother was naturalized in the U.S. after you were born? Me: Yes, but she never applied for Trinidadian citizenship for me, which would have had to have been done by my 18th birthday....

Saturday Night Videos 5

Lately I've taken to supporting artists via crowd-sourcing sites and the like. I recently touched on that a bit in the last show regarding Chali 2na's Against the Current project. Personally, I think it's an easy/convenient way to support indie artists -- particularly, if you like good music and if you're kinda low on funds yourself. Sometimes there a (reasonable) minimum donation amount to get some new music. Sometimes it's a "pay what you can/want". A few months ago, while perusing The A.V. Club, I read about Rhymesayer artist P.O.S. and how he had to cancel a tour due to medical issues - specifically, because he needs a kidney transplant . Then later - via Facebook posts from other artists - I found out about the fundraiser set up to raise money for his transplant and medical bills. If there's one thing that I learned while living with my ex-ex-ex-roommate, it's that musicians can often be pretty fucked when it comes to medical emergencies. A...
