Odd, ends, and sweet tie ups.

Hola Amigos, I know it’s been awhile since I rapped at ya. Flat out, the 10th Annual Gathering of the Juggalos was the shit. I had some shitty happenings, but overall the trip was insane. The Don Mega himself, Ice Cube, put it down like no one else I’ve ever seen. Catch him on tour. Also, a personal favorite of mine, MC Chris, did an incredible job. He even turned the Juggalos and got some applause. Hands down, my absolute favorite memory of this year’s GOTJ was Flashlight Wrestling at 5am on Sunday morning. It was incredibly personal with less than 100 people in attendance and had live commentary by Violent J, Scott Hall, and Corporal Robinson. I don’t know what set of Jimmy Snuka but he got in Scott Hall’s face and kept asking him if he wants to take it into the ring and they eventually had to get a few handlers to get him backstage. Big ups to everyone that made the weekend so memorable.
Some other stuff went on recently like a job shift at work that is in my favor, and I’ve set up my own mini tour. For ICP’s upcoming BANG POW BOOM tour, I’ll be at 5 dates. You can catch me in Philly on 10/15, Woopsta the 16th and 17th for Rock N Shock, Detroit Murderous for Hallowicked, Sayreville on 12/4, and Allentown on 12/5. I’ll also be at the Mastodon/Dethklok show on 11/1 in Philly, and possibly 10/29 in NYC but I haven’t decided yet.
Speaking of Bang Pow Boom, the verdict is in. This album IS the return of the Dark Carnival. I’ll start off by saying that I’m still a big fan of The Tempest. There are a lot of solid jams on that album. That being said, Bang Pow Boom is INCREDIBLE. They had me at Intro. The album starts off incredibly strong and doesn’t stop until the Chop Chop Slide flips your wig, then burns it with the force of a nuclear assault. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.
I’ve started using Twitter more since I got the Twitterfon app for my sleek and sexy iPhone, so hit me up @counterfeitgod. I’ll add some more later, I do fully intend to keep updating the site.
