Rumble in the Jungle

C4 the General — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 14:03:11 GMT

Over the past year and a half in the columns of this magazine, I have been repeating the phrase: "there is a movement happening," and there was no better indication of that then the contest that was sponsored by News4U, Gator9 Entertainment, and www.midwestsyndicate.com. The Rumble In The Jungle was a four week contest developed to introduce area independent hip hop talent to a larger audience, and over 500 people were introduced to several emcees and rappers ranging in styles from radio to gangsta and from lyrical to gutta. The talent ranged from people making their first appearance on stage to rappers who have been in the game for years. Local rap scene legends – E’ville – hosted the event and fronted the $100 weekly prize for winners. The grand prize winner received a music video produced by gator9 Entertainment, national music distribution from www.midwestsyndicate.com, and News4U donated space for this article.

BigS, Bogard, BradleyT, BoopD, CasOne, C-Good, Crispy, D-Trick, Inspector Clusoe, J-Mon (Tha Dirty Mon), Kentucky Prophet, King Kold, Laudi, Lil Bling, Loc The Great, Mic Nuke’em, Tee-C, Unkle Samm, and Whydhe Write were the names on the bill when the contest started; coming from Indiana, Kentucky, and Illinois in this tri-state contest. The event was big enough to garner interest from other local names as well: Kasper, Liv Long, MaxB, DJ Figure, Dew Dirt, Raaqim, Lil Ace, and Shabrae among others all came out to show support, but in the end when the last metaphor was spit and the last bass boom hit, there was one man standing… The champion of the first annual Rumble In The Jungle is a man who proudly represents Jimtown, Evansville, and The Wreckin Ball Crew. He is a man who congratulated each contestant in the finals by inviting them onstage, and thanked each of them for being a part of the process. And is a man who thanked his momma, his wife, and his kids for motivating him. The champion of The Rumble is BradleyT.

BradT describes himself as a country music loving, red headed, Busch Light drinking, truck driver, but don’t let the description fool you. BradT delivered machine gun rhymes, thoughtful family insight, gutta street action, hustle and skill each time he touched the mic. Just listening to the fans in attendance made everyone feel like they were witnessing something special. One fan, Jason from Henderson, pulled me aside to tell me he never thought he would hear anything like this guy from Evansville. I believe the exact words were, "I can’t believe how good this guy is. Why haven’t more people heard of him?"

Brad’s range switched from fun club bangers like “Ballin On A Budget,” to slow heartfelt family life issues in “Generations” to “U.S.A.,” a song devoted to the struggles regular people face in the world today. You can hear the songs yourself online at www.myspace.com/bradtloc. Look for more contests and events coming from local talent. The movement IS happening all over the city in all different music genres and styles.

HORRORSCOPE: MARCH 6, 2008

Kato — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 21:54:09 GMT

Unfortunately, today is not your day... As the temperature outside plummets, so will your luck. Someone close to you will barf numerous times on the carpet this morning, perhaps even a pet. Keep the paper towels and Oxy Clean handy! Have patience, as your professional environment will become complicated. Ignore overweight, poison-spewing patrons smelling of wintergreen Kodiak who blame you, the lowly, hourly paid associate for corporate shortcomings and inept inventory management. Present a shield, conjure up a smile and the curse words and insults will bounce right off. Tonight: You'll get no sleep, but who needs it anyway?

SouthPaw Isle Steelband--FREE EVENT

awa — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 22:12:33 GMT

Southpaw Isle Steelband will be performing at a concert at the Victory Theatre on Tuesday, February 26 at 7:00pm.
While rooted in Caribbean pan tradition, Southpaw Isle Steelband continually stretches the limits of the steelband sound. The group's repertoire includes jazz, classical, samba, calypso, and original compositions. As the only non-Caribbean ensemble to perform at the 2004 World Steelband Festival in Trinidad, Southpaw Isle is truly dedicated to this amazing melodic-percussion instrument. The group's newly released CD, Carol of the Pans, is available on the Jumbie Records Label. In December 2005, the group presented the world premiere of 'A Caribbean Christmas Mass' for orchestra, chorus and steelband by Glenn McClure. The Warren Symphony commissioned this genre-bending work after Southpaw Isle wowed audiences in the previous season with their performance of Deborah Teason's 'Trinity, Concerto for Steelband and Orchestra.' The group has presented workshops, assemblies, and educational concerts for students of all ages including two sold-out performances as part of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra's Tiny Tots Concert Series at the Max M. Fisher Music Center.
The Southpaw Isle Steelband concert is part of the Patricia H. Snyder Series. The 2007-2008 Patricia H. Snyder Concert and Lecture Series is made possible through an endowment from the late Patricia H. Snyder, trustee and longtime friend of the University or Evansville. We are deeply grateful for her foresight and to her family for the opportunity to present these events to our community. Admission is Free and this event is open to the public!

The Lampion Center's A Chocolate Affair

AWA — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 18:31:19 GMT

So, Valentine's Day began as a Catholic holiday that celebrated martyred saint, Valentinus. Now, how we came to spend this day wooing our beloved with chocolates, flowers and promises we don't intend to keep, when it originally was to celebrate a man's death, I don't know and I really don't have the time to research it right now. Valentine's Day reminds me of a decorated box and Snoopy saying "Be Mine, Valentine" on a miniature card with a name scribbled on the envelope in red crayon.
In any event, if you have a Valentine and want to treat him or her to more than a small card and a handful of promises, join the Lampion Center for their annual Chocolate Affair on February 2nd. The Lampion Center is a non-profit organization that provides counseling for children and families and adoption services.
With 10 local restaurants and caterers donating oodles of chocolate goodies and champagne to wash the sweetness down, you and your honey, or co-worker, or best friend will be sure to have a splendid evening. Entertainment is provided by Monty Skelton on saxophone, Pat McCormick on piano, and the vocal stylings of Karen Ellerbrook and Gina Moore, and a plethora of silent auction items (listed below) will be available for bidding.
A Chocolate Affair is being held on February 2nd from 7:00 until 10:00 p.m. at the Old National Bank Wayne Henning Atrium. The cost of the evening is $50 per person.

Reserve your tickets by calling 812-471-1776 or by emailing Vicki Nelson vnelson@lampioncenter.com. Visit www.lampioncenter.com for more info.

*Stay tuned to news4uonline.com for FREE tickets to A Chocolate Affair!

Busy busy busy little bees

DG — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 20:23:49 GMT

Back in high school, I had a history teacher whose glaucoma entitled him to imbibe in herbs - and not the kind you'd put in a simmering pot of pasta sauce. He was wise, worldly, and weird. Students loved him for his bizzare presentations of the high points in ancient Egyptian history - monarchs buried in sand, mummies that made stuffy English adventurers richer than Midas, pyramids towering over the arid landscape - you couldn't help but pay attention.
    And you had to, because during the less exciting times in this particular class, like in any public school classroom, the kids would get bored. Boredom then segued into stupid mischief and worse - talking - oh heaven forbid there be talking...
    That was when the teacher would lay the line on us, the line that still sticks in my head 18 years later: "I'm busy, you're busy, all Damien's little brats are busy."
    No one had a clue what the hell he meant, but it sounded serious. Serious enough to get the roomful of 15 and 16-year-olds back to studying... or at least back to simply sitting still - quietly.
    Musing about this came from this past week here at the News 4U ranch. We've just rapped up our annual wedding and bridal publication, Tri-State Bride; now we're jumping straight into production on our monthly magazine for all things related to kid's athletics, Go Team.
    Needless to say, our staff of busy little bees have been at it big time, churning out what we hope are fun, informative, useful and worthwhile magazines... and then back onto the big one: News 4U.
   In the coming months be looking for new things in the magazine and here online. We're busy - like Damien's little brats - whatever that means. But as always, we welcome your comments, suggestions, illuminations, ruminations and thoughts.

Thanks and ciao

The show must go on: Stewart and Colbert to return

Dylan — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 15:02:34 GMT

Since the writer's strike that began in November, late night comedy shows have been, well, filled with a lot of deja vu. That's because they've been showing reruns, and since most of the jokes are topical and time-sensitive, shows like The Daily Show, Colbert Report, The Late Show and The Tonight Show have been mostly unwatchable.

Well, the best of the night crew (with all due apologies to Mr. Letterman) return on January 7, with or without the efforts of WGA writers. As Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert both say, "We would like to return to work with our writers. If we cannot, we would like to express our ambivalence, but without our writers we are unable to express something as nuanced as ambivalence."

So yeah, it'll be cool to see the return of some fresh stuff - if only on one network and for only an hour... what's your take on this, the writer's strike and whatever else comes to mind?

DG — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 14:18:51 GMT

It's nice to see some decent stuff on the list (Amy Winehouse's Ronettes-esque sound was refreshing), and Kayne is consistently great, but c'mon... who gives their 9-year-olds a credit card/Paypal account to buy this stuff?

Led Zeppelin: The reunion

DG — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 14:54:53 GMT

The show was last night, and the review's in:
www.nme.com/news/led-zeppelin/33079

Footage is rolling into youtube already, and from what I've heard so far, the guys sound tight as hell. Plant still has the swagger, Page's Gibson sounds as massive as ever and Jones' bass is a solid wall.

Now lets get Zep over the Atlantic already...

Led Zep rumors: Tantalizingly close

Dylan — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 22:22:53 GMT

Billboard reports Bonnaroo organizers have dispelled the rumors floating around the internet that Led Zeppelin would be at next year's festival in Tennessee:

www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003680943

On Monday, the interwebs were abuzz with the rumor that the band (or at least 3/4 of them) would be oh so close to us for their first show in the States in 30 years. As it turns out, Zeppelin will only play one gig in London on December 10.

DON'T DO THIS SORT OF THING, WHOEVER STARTED THIS!

I fell for this, which is really Nobody's Fault But Mine...
