P-Weezy.

This Sunday.


Sunday night special. Does anyone even watch the Simpsons anymore?

In other P-Love news:
Despite not having made any real progress on album numero dos, 2008 has been my year of guest appearances, with a whopping 3, count ‘em, 3 CDs released this year that I’ve appeared on. Awww yeah I’m the Lil’ Wayne of this shit.

Nicole Lizée: This Will Not Be Televised (Centrediscs)
Nicky and I met in college, where she was working on her Master’s thesis in composition: a piece written for turntables and orchestra. Homegirl is the only composer that I would stay in Winnipeg a week in the dead of winter for. Her first album is out now, which is a compilation of live performances of her works; title track was performed in Winnipeg last year, and “RPM” was performed in Kitchener, Ontario in 2005 with the Canadian Chamber Ensemble.
(In the world of experimental music, they use “works” instead of “songs”)

Sadat X: Generation X (Affluent Records)
Homie and co-worker Will Tell (who has yet to sign my copy of Thirstin Howl’s “Still Live With My Moms”) needed a couple of Nas lines cut up for a throwback joint. Now the shit is explained.

Erik Hove: Soundclash (Effendi Records)
E-Hova is also a fellow McGill alumnus whose name is still occasionally uttered in the halls of the Music building as “the legend of Hove”. We recorded this sax/bass/drums/turns album last summer, and despite me not making the release party in Montreal after getting refused entry at the Canadian border, I’m pretty pumped about this album, which has been about 7 years in the making. True story: I met Erik in the hip-hop room of some huge rave in Montreal in 1997 during Q-Bert’s 10-minute scratch set. Q pulled up to the rave in a limo, played for 10 minutes, then bounced. Maybe he couldn’t take the Vicks VapoRub smell that overpowered the room. Best $40 I ever spent. In 1997.
