The Coup is playing tonight at the Shattuck Down Low with my homeboy E Da Boss. Paradoxically, although it's in Berkeley, this may be one of their most patchouli-free shows in the next few months. I wish I could go see them but I'll be tied up DJing at the Ambassador in SF.

I went to Amoeba the other day and was happy as hell to see their Kill My Landlord album back in print. If I'd been keeping up with Noz's blog, I would've known that this and almost all of the rest of Wild Pitch label catalog is back in print as of this week, with Genocide & Juice due out in another week or so. Noz conducted a poll about which Wild Pitch album was the best; I like Main Source's Breaking Atoms, but I'd take Genocide & Juice or Word... Life any day.

The Kill My Landlord reissue is okay, a little stingy (certainly no Steal This Double Album). They didn't add any bonus tracks and the liner looks like it was made at Kinko's, but I'm glad to see the album available.

Shoulda been on there:
