For those of a statistical disposition...
No excuses; these are the people who are the victims of Katrina... donate ASAP, and when you have a chance donate some more. Money, time, non-perishables and essentials, and prayers... Reputable organizations such as
here and
here will appreciate the aid, as will the displaced citizens of the Gulf Coast and affected states.
Additional relief contact info is available at other quality sites, including
Craigslist.
...and a challenge to all my DJ/promoter types (aspiring, established, and otherwise); for the next few weeks, donate a portion of your gig checks, project work, cover fees, or whatever... Good looking out to
Noixe, Fredro, and others (Nomadik, Jay Smooth, etc.) who are already stepping up with ideas and events to contribute through DJ work...
Get a pen and your calendar...
September 13
th, label it in permanent ink, then, go someplace like
here, and have your payment method of choice handy.
and you can't front of the cover artwork, or how he killed it live on BET yesterday night (really, 106 & Park has its moments, often best found accidentally)...
alright, back to your regularly scheduled programme. Check our man
Mistajam on 1Xtra tonight (the mixshow is live Thursdays 9pm-1am EST, streams from the previous week can be heard via the
