DANGER MOUSE & JEMINI : LIVE SHOW IN NYC
At Pianos on December 15th. Doors 9pm. Pianos is situated at 158 Ludlow
Street at Stanton. The Roughstars are also performing and Tes is spinning -
hopefully tracks from his forthcoming EP. I've heard that it's cheap to get
in and expect it to be busy... The shows promoters are Mischief Corps,

PRINCE PO RETURNS !!
Prince Po has just about finished his debut solo long player. It's going to
be released in the Spring of 2004 on Lex. The heavyweight tracks on the
album should appeal to fans of Prince Po's groundbreaking work with Pharoahe
Monch in legendary rap group Organized Konfusion and with some massive club
tracks too there's some crossover potential. So far production credits are
shared by Danger Mouse, Madlib, J-Zone, Jel, Richard X and Prince Po
himself. Jemini The Gifted One, J-Ro from Tha Alkaholiks and MF Doom have
all recorded vocal parts for the album so far. Expect some more very special
to be announced soon.
EH? DESIGN IN CR
The world famous design journal Creative Review have run the first in-depth
E H Questionmark feature in their current issue. Here's a news piece about
it on the Warp site
http://www.warprecords.com/?news=754, but that's just a
taster. Rush out and buy a copy! Massive thanks to Gavin at CR and everyone
who helped put it together. www.creativereview.co.uk
NON-PROPHETS IN SPIN
Sage Francis & Joe Beats' debut long player is out now and clocking up the
kind of media approval that record labels yearn for. This is what SPIN says:
"Their name may pun on the futility of political rap by white guys, but emo
MC/Fugazi fan Sage Francis and producer Joe Beats sound convincingly pissed
on their first record. It ain't easy to rap "I attended candlelight vigils
for Matthew Shepard / while you put out another 'fucking faggot' record" and
still sound hard." (A-)
Wicked. They also get an "Album Of The Year" spot in UK magazine Big
Cheese. Thanks!
*
So I go to the Non-Prophets' board, which they selfishly closed to the
outside world, to pick up the latest news from Sage and Joe, and it's open
again. Now everyone can join in the fun. Am I missing something? Well here's

DANGER MAUS & J'MINI IN Q & ON CRAIG CHARLES SHOW ON RADIO 6
Q Magazine, which just happens to be just about the biggest music mag going
in the UK these days, features DM & Jem this month. It's effectively just a
really wicked picture (on page 30) with a blurb at the bottom, but they're
good looking guys... In other news, the beloved star of TVs Red Dwarf, Craig
Charles, who's futuristic scouse wit shaped a generation's playground slang,
talks to Jemini The Gifted One on his BBC Radio 6 show this Saturday (1900 -
2200 GMT). BBC6 is a digital radio station and is also available on-line.
