And the Oscar for Best Windmill goes to…wait, what?!

March 8, 2010 by

0

Nataliya forced me to watch some of the Oscars last night. Maybe forced is too strong a word; Nataliya tuned in to watch the Oscars last night while I was in the same room tooling over what to play on the show this week. Sadly, my headphones were not enough to protect me from the […]

0

As if the cheese-steaks weren’t reason enough to trek down to Philly, the icon of cool use of punctuation, ?uestlove, has announced the lineup for the third annual Roots Picnic Hometown Festival, which includes Nneka, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Mayer Hawthorne, the Very Best, Tuneyards, Das Racist, Bajah and the Dry Eye Crew, Pattern Is Movement, […]

The BreakBeat Axiom, Now in Stereo!

February 24, 2010 by

0

It seems like this series of tubes we call the internets isn’t enough to hold T and me. Next Wednesday (03.03.10), T and I will officially launch our radio show (also called The Breakbeat Axiom) on WMBR 88.1. A radio show and a blog might seem excessive, but that’s probably because you haven’t had the […]

George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic at House of Blues Boston

February 18, 2010 by

0

George Clinton and PFunk will be playing at the House of Blues tomorrow, February 19. I don’t think I even have to write a description of this group, who are essentially the musical forefathers of everything cool from the last 30 years. But in case you are unfamiliar with the group: Forget George Clinton’s rainbow hair and […]

Guilty Pleasures: I love my local bands

February 16, 2010 by

0

It’s 3am, I’m coming back from watching the third person—in a long line of doe-eyed teenagers—make a mockery of a keg stand (it can’t be called a proper keg stand with an imposed 9 second time limit), and I can’t help but fixate on how these kids are destroying the floors of this apartment by […]

Reggie Watts (and our very own HQ!!) at the ICA

February 13, 2010 by

0

That’s right. Kick-ass comedian/performance artist/dancer/musician/beatboxer/all-around-interesting performer is exhibiting his show Disinformation at the ICA on Saturday, February 13th, and The Q is a big ole’ part of it! Watts’s website describes Disinformation thusly: “It’s 2012. The end of the world. What do you do? In DISINFORMATION, Reggie outlines humanity’s refusal to accept a global paradigm […]

Nneka is Nigerian Awesomeness… And will be at the Middle East!

February 3, 2010 by

0

Lucky us. Not only do we have MC Frontalot gracing our fair city on Monday, but the super-soulful Nneka will be making an appearance at the Middle East in Cambridge tomorrow evening. The best Nigerian import since petroleum, Hamburg-based Nneka has spent the majority of her young career garnering attention in Europe. Her debut album […]

MC Frontalot at Harpers Ferry

February 2, 2010 by

1

Easy T usually manages updating the “who is playing where” bit of the website, however when it comes to MC Frontalot (yeah, like Front-A-Lot), I’m pretty sure it’s up to me. If you haven’t heard of MC Frontalot, it’s not too surprising, since he has a very particular underground following, and even fewer of that […]

People Under the Stairs at the Middle East!

January 20, 2010 by

0

Following quickly on the heels of Wale and friends, L.A.’s premier underground hip-hop duo, People Under the Stairs (also known as PUTS), will be performing at the Middle East in Central Sq tomorrow. Honestly, I’m not sure how these guys have managed to stay “underground”. The two-some, composed of Thes One and Double K, have […]

Will Wale’s Openers Steal my Heart?

January 16, 2010 by

1

Alright, so I already posted about Wale playing at Harper’s here. What I failed to mention in that post, however, is how great I think the openers will be. I’ve spent part of today checking out the three acts that will precede my man Wale, and they seem dope enough to switch my alliances. I […]

Wale at Harper’s Ferry this Saturday

January 12, 2010 by

1

My man Wale (“Yeah, they keep sayin’ whale but my name Wale”) will be performing at Haper’s Ferry this Saturday. As both he and I hail (liberally) from the DC area, I’ll be there, obnoxiously pointing out all the PG county references to the Q.  In my mind, Wale is one of the more interesting new […]

For all of you Boston-based hiphop heads, the CunninLynguists will be stopping by the Paradise Rock Club in Allston on Dec. 10th for the MA leg of their Strange Journey Tour. Deacon the Villian, Kno, and Natti have worked with legends like RJD2, KRS-One, Raekwon, People Under the Stairs, and many others. The Lynguists’  supersmart lyrics and funky production supposedly make […]
