Mr. Lif - Mo' Mega

El-P handles production on eight of the eleven tracks, with Mr. Lif producing two and Nick Toth producing the last.

OK, so, the first three songs are good but I'm starting to feel a little odd about how this record is progressing. It's turn for "The Fries," now, and the breakdown and segue into another beat is surprisingly refreshing, a little too refreshing... I wonder why? By the time we get to "Take, Hold, Fire!" however, which, given the guests (Aesop Rock & El-P) should have been a monster track, things are starting to get a little stale, and things are also starting to make sense. It's not that the music is bad, it isn't; it's that, simply, there's been too much of the same thing. In fact, I'd say that "Take, Hold, Fire!" does exactly what El-P was trying to do with this record best: the heavy beats, the stuttering funk, the dirty music, etc, but, being that it's the fifth song, it has lost a lot of its impact.

A slew, a veritable slew, of concerts. (For Allen Ginsberg) (For Quentin Tarantino)

Wednesday – 15/10/03 - (One Way Out - Gyroscope - Less Than Jake)

On Wednesday I saw Less Than Jake supported by Gyroscope and One Way Out.

One Way Out were a generic new school punk band that sounded like a billion and one other generic new school punk bands. Please, please, write another song about a girl or unrequited love because it’s become readily apparent that the rich tapestry of music that you are contributing to has yet to tear under the weight of your seemingly endless bloated cliches. And we can’t have that, can we?
