If Obama wins will he have time to come to the Mohawk on Nov. 13th?

We can only hope.

RIP D-Drew - SUC

Rest in Peace my man...

D-Drew was one of the later dudes to be "inducted" into DJ Screw's Screwed Up Click. He told me the story before, I don't remember it all, but he was real young and his mom used to take him around Screw. Screw always looked out for him, and as he got a little older and started rapping, brought him into the click. It had to be pretty soon before Screw himself passed. I don't know man. Honestly, I don't know about you, but I have had about enough S.U.C. Deaths for one lifetime.

D-Drew was a Damage Control regular. He was the dude I would call, well one of the dudes I would call when it was time to do the Screw Tribute shows. He'd always rally the troops from all sides of the fence in celebration of DJ Screw. He was definitely my man in those days and he will be missed.

Word is he was found shot dead in a car. In Houston. One of the reasons I now live in Austin. And will make my way further west in to the hills as time progresses. God willing.

More details as they come in. Ruined my Halloween...

CHECK HIS MUSIC ON HIS MYSPACE PAGE. He's 2nd verse on the first song.

In Case You Forgot Who The Black Sheep Was...

A Trick and a Treat for Halloween
FREE MP3's by Bird Peterson and the Prank Call King!

Well y'all, it's that time of year again. The season of Samhain is upon us. The skies get grey, there's a certain bite to the air - even in Texas, I'm serious, it sucks. And well, those of us with kids are about to be thrown into a whirlwind of candy induced maniacy for the next 3 days or so.

Then Tuesday's gonna come and Obama will make it all better. Sunny skies, back to the beach and such.

We hope.

Anyway, in the spirit of the season I offer you a trick from the "Prank Call King of Ottawa, Ontario." I got this disc from an anonymous dude a couple years back whilst on the road with Devin the Dude and Rapid Ric. It was a driving tour across part of Canada, and when we took off the next morning we immediately popped in this cd of prank calls. This one by far was the best.

CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD QUITE POSSIBLY THE PRANK CALL KING OF OTTAWA'S FINEST WORK EVER.

I'll never forget when we played it for Rodrigo from Pound Magazine and super video director Wendy Morgan thru the car stereo with the windows open on Queen Street in the T-Dot. We played that shit LOUD and even old ladies passing by were stopping and cracking up. We had to rewind like six times. You will too. It's a classic piece of comedy.

And then this next little gem will be your treat. Bird Peterson's MONSTER MASH REMIX.

Shit is jammin' as hell and it was sewn up by one of Austin's favorite sons. Dude is a killer DJ, a master remixer, and he designs the livest flyers in town (cheap!).

Holler at the boy.

Put it in your set tomorrow night DJ folk. It jams.

Get at Bird Peterson on Myspace. I'ma go rave out over there right now. His 25 or 6 to 4 remix killin' thangs.

And holler at that monster bash up above. Them bols Nadastrom and Tittsworth up to the Beauty Bar with our boy Bird Peterson and cousin Prince Klassen. Knowm talm bout. Rave out folks. I'll be corralling kiddos thru the hood and such. And busting guns at vandals and such. And praying for my peoples in Detroit, cuz I know how they do out there.
