R.A.P. statt E.K.G. - May 2011



Sorry, it's a bit late with the posting. The May show took place on Friday the 13th and it's the first in-studio show that I'd done since March. I've got a bit of a timing conflict on Fridays for the next few months, so I kind of decide at the last minute whether the show will be a re-run, live, or pre-produced. It actually might be this way until the end of the year. I'm hoping that I'll mostly be live again come fall. We shall see.

Oh and I still haven't gotten the show from the server as yet, since I went by the station today, but no one was their (or they were there but didn't answer the phone or open the door). Anyway, I hope to do that sometime this week, since we're getting pretty close to June now.

Zilv and I just have to deal with the burst pipe upstairs and I have to get my wisdom teeth out.

I finally got around to making a Facebook page, so you can search for R.A.P. statt E.K.G and like our page. Also I'll start cross-posting show updates here and on our tumblr blog (http://rapstattekg.tumblr.com), which is also where we'll post whatever interesting rap news that we stumble across on the internet (videos, concerts in Hamburg, etc.)

EDIT: Here's the widget to listen to the show online. (As usual, you can click on the share to download it)



So make a note of the url and watch these two other videos from The Plot & Dirty Sánchez

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...
