Hay-lo, Ha-lo, Halooo
So the Holidays are over till this friday and some are back to work till then, others are more lucky. Either way you dice it, it’s a bizarre in between time of year…and if you are like me and snowbound in the Northeast, it’s the perfect time for treating your ears to a swelltastic listen to some great music and eyes to some reading material. That said, I have a HUGE amount of stuff (New Artist of the Week, Subways & Sidewalks #8, and TWO Christmas Music Mixes) for you to nosh on while you are waiting for 2011 to happen!!!
Artist of the Week; Foul Mouth Jerk
I gotta admit, I was late to the game when it comes to finding out about Foul Mouth Jerk. A buddy of mine who’s the saxophone player for Deep Banana Blackout hipped me to Foul Mouth Jerk’s music when Jerk and TopR were playing a show by me at the Acoustic Cafe. I was blown away by how great their live show was. All of the call and response moments were honest, rather than contrived, they were fantastic lyrically, and, most importantly, they were having fun on stage. Cracking jokes with the crowd, and each, other in-between songs, and even accidentally inspiring a young woman to expose some skin, they gave the crowd serious hip-hop, but didn’t necessarily take themselves too seriously. I loved the vibe they created and caught up with Foul Mouth Jerk after a return performance a few months later that was a celebration of the release of his new album, The Oldest Trick In The Book. During our conversation we discussed the new album, as well as the culture shock of moving from New Jersey to North Carolina, and his linking up with one of Jersey’s most celebrated underground hip-hop duos.

DJ HALO’s Christmas Carnage 2010
This mix of entirely Hip-Hop Christmas tunes was curated and compiled by the homie Chaz Kangas (check him out cause he’s DOOOOOPE) as part of his regular Christmas Mix series, but seeing as how this was the 10th year, he asked me to do the scratch wicka wicka and mix the songs to make this year’s extra special.
