Road Trip

Set up shop and write a verse
Actually, that's best come to best
My lyrics take care of me
they therapy, Get shit off my chest...

***The Powder Blue Patrol begins a brutal road stretch starting tonight in Tony Soprano’s backyard versus the soon to be Brooklyn Nets. This starts a nine game stretch with eight of those coming on the road. The Nugs four game current streak includes a pounding of Nash and the Suns, but this trip will set the tone for a possible playoff run.

***Ricardo Patton gets a new job 10 days after his last game for CU. Meanwhile, his former bosses in Boulder are 6 months into their search and we still have the same top candidate as we had in October: Jeff Bzdelik. This “comprehensive search” seems to start and end just south of Monument Hill.

***The Broncos sign QB Patrick Ramsey. I wondered why there are so many people calling in sick to school and work today- they’re lining up for those ‘P-Ram’ jersies.

***The Hip Hop underground world has a collective chub today as El-P releases his second solo CD, I’ll Sleep When Your Dead. It’s understandable, as El-P’s track record of production and past releases points to a classic banger. Let’s not sleep on another underground legend who is releasing his first solo effort today, Evidence (The Weatherman LP.) The Dilated People’s MC enlists producers Alchemist and DJ Babu and guest appearances from West Coast stalwarts Defari and Planet Asia. The bare track, “Mr Slow Flow” features Ev spitting his patented lazy flow and slick punchlines.
