The Tim Misny Rap Video-Yes, it’s real

Saw this little gem over at Cleveland Scene’s website, and I thought it was fitting to share it with my fellow Clevelanders. Everybody knows who Tim Misny is. And if you don’t, you must not watch television. Apparently he’s so popular, some people made a rap song about it. It’s called Make Em’ Pay. Well, it … Read more

Girl Talk at Cleveland Public Hall SOLD OUT!

Girl-Talk

So if you were smart like Kyle and I, you copped your tickets early. My guess is this show is seeing a lot of publicity since it’s in asssociation with the Rock Hall. But also, DJs, or whatever you want to call Gillis, are on the rise. There’s no doubt this will be a huge … Read more

March 22 Song(s) of the Day: DJ Abilities releases new mixtape (free download)

Dj Abilities

DJ Abilities surprised me with a new mix two weeks ago, and I feel compelled to share it with you. I was surprised for a few reasons: One, the only other solo work he’s released is about 12 years old, and two, because I wasn’t exactly sure what he’d be doing after his counterpart MC Eyedea passed … Read more
