READY TO PLAY A GAME BOYS & GIRLS?
ROSA PARKS
STEVE BIKO
CLINT EASTWOOD
WHAT DO THESE THREE HAVE IN COMMON??
THAT'S RIGHT! They're famous people who have been immortalized in song titles (Outkast, A Tribe Called Quest & tha Gorillaz, respectively).
Well, now, we present to you the POEM-CEES NAME-A-SONG CONTEST
Give us the name of ANY FAMOUS PERSON, living or dead, liked or loathed that would make for a good song title. Any name at all. Just click on "write a jont" and leave as many suggestions as you like.
We'll post our favorites to be voted on later, and then break it down to one, great, unforgettable title.
Oh, yeah - and in keeping with the precedent set by the three songs above, we promise that whatever song we write will have absolutely, positively NOTHING to do with the title...
ready....number 2 pencils sharpened?
ok....good luck....GO!

sup yall,
since my partner picasso is kind of shy when it comes to representing on this here website, i thought i would help him out by giving you a little glimpse behind the curtain at this international man of lyrical mystery...
NEW MATERIAL!!!
-p has written a verse for one of the new songs that is far and away his best work. there is a good chance that quincy jones will offer to remix his verse from "C, GI" for an upcoming compilation album called "Back on the Block...to Buy Heroin...So i can Make Dope Music Again". it is also rumoured that the "RRNationalAirport" jont will be presented in a form perfect for dancing while crying...
UPCOMING PERFORMANCES!!!
-the first public performance of picasso's duet with yo yo ma, entitled "yo mama's yoyo, man" (cello & beatbox) will be presented at the u of md/yum's campus as a benefit for the national msg society. look for the re-broadcast on public television later this month...
PHOTO EXHIBIT!!!
-"Digits of a Genius" is an in-depth photographic exhibition of the hands of the man you love to hear. black and white stills, digitally enhanced color shots and a 'long-ass fingernails' retrospective are all presented in print, along with the addition of a slide show sloooooooooooomo breakdown of the infamous picasso finger-licking technique (post-doritos), demonstrating his amazing ability to gross you out without ever violating and putting his saliva-slickened fingers back into the bag- fascinating!
THE MEDICATION WORKED!!!
-you'll be interested to know that thanks to the miracles of modern medicine, picasso is no longer afflicted with SBS (spontaneoboneritis syndrome), thus relieving him of the dreaded "tentpole-jeans" effect that has been displayed at many an open-mic. fortunately, his words are so riveting, many of you never noticed; however, in a related statement...
THE CHARGES HAVE BEEN DROPPED!!!
-yes, with the aforementioned medical condition firmly under control, picasso will once again be allowed to perform at children's events around the country. additionally, all county officials in the locales of his recent performances have all apologized regarding the wide proliferation of parental warning posters announcing his arrival...
and there you have it folks
anything we can do to keep YOU, the loyal listener and faithful friend
coming back for more...
easy,
dp

DJBOOK: yeah......i've seen em
djstylus: did you read that shit???
DJBOOK: yup.......revolution has em also
djstylus: DID YOU READ THAT SHIT????
djstylus: this is too much for me
djstylus: yeah
DJBOOK: i mean.......u gotta admit.......the shit is incredible
DJBOOK: for a club/mobile dj..........i really can't argue against it...........
djstylus: okay, let me gather my thoughts
djstylus: I dig the convenience
djstylus: much lighter and smaller
djstylus: no more crate backaches
djstylus: looping and shit, that's dope
djstylus: cd's are less prone to wear and damage
DJBOOK: yup on all points.......
djstylus: you have way more options
djstylus: cuz you can buy almost anything on cd
djstylus: and if you can't buy it, you can burn it
DJBOOK: yup yup
djstylus: if you're a performer, you can burn all your stuff on cd
djstylus: for your shows
djstylus: and rock like turntables
djstylus: with a dj
DJBOOK: yup
djstylus: you can make beats, do a remix, do a new song
djstylus: burn it
DJBOOK: batting 100%
djstylus: rock it in the club that night
djstylus: but....
djstylus: it can't emulate all the stuff that real turntables can do
djstylus: particularly with battling
djstylus: which doesn't matter though
djstylus: people will use what they use to do what they need to do
DJBOOK: true dat
djstylus: here's the part that bothers me
djstylus: this shit could truly kill vinyl
djstylus: for real this time
DJBOOK: for the masses.....
djstylus: not that hoax shit in the early 90's
DJBOOK: not for purists.....
djstylus: when they thought vinyl would die
djstylus: I don't know man
djstylus: see, i would definitely use this thing
djstylus: like jeff did
djstylus: add it to my regular set up
djstylus: and if other folks want to only use the cd jont, that's fine
DJBOOK: me to, but vinyl has more character
djstylus: I'm worried about the effect on the industry
djstylus: I JUST WATCHED THE FUCKING VIDEO
djstylus: oh christ
djstylus: i'm scared
DJBOOK: cassettes haven't phased out yet....
djstylus: this is too much for me
djstylus: I can't take it
DJBOOK: question.........if you had the dough.....would u get it..........hmmmmmm
djstylus: yes
djstylus: I already buy tons of wax AND cd's as it is
djstylus: that wouldn't change
djstylus: I wouldn't stop buying vinyl
djstylus: i'm scared
djstylus: watch the video
DJBOOK: i've seen it...............blew me away..........
djstylus: the video?
djstylus: here's the crucial part....
djstylus: cd's are WAAAAAAAAAY cheaper to manufacture than vinyl
djstylus: that's the whole shit right there
djstylus: jeff was using this too
djstylus: DOPE!!!!
DJBOOK: yeah......m&m from pgc has that.............he uses it when he does his go-go sets..........he has the cdj-300's.......
DJBOOK: why the fuck are cd's so damn high then.....
djstylus: record label jack move
djstylus: ganking artists and consumers
DJBOOK: fuck it......i gotta try them shits out for myself
djstylus: http://www.12am.com.au/djtoys/cdj1000.html
djstylus: me too
djstylus: but I'm shook
DJBOOK: mixers are trying to get pgc to invest in a pair......
djstylus: THIS IS TOO MUCH
DJBOOK: i know.........from the horse to the automobile.....
djstylus: I guess this is how folks felt back then
djstylus: no needles to break or wear dowh
djstylus: down
djstylus: it's over
DJBOOK: damn.......forgot about the needles & shit.........no more worries about contacts shorting.....
djstylus: skipping
DJBOOK: i'm never giving up my vinyl though
djstylus: balancing your tonearm
djstylus: of course nt
djstylus: not
djstylus: invested too much
djstylus: but...
djstylus: kids starting out will just skip vinyl all together
djstylus: go right to cd
djstylus: the only people using vinyl will be the BEFORE THE CDJ1000 dj's
djstylus: eventually, we'll all die
DJBOOK: yup
djstylus: and turntables will be no more
djstylus: and they'll find them as fossils like Amel Larrieux in the Concerto of the Desperado video
djstylus: cue points!!! fucking cue points!!!
djstylus: and a little dial
djstylus: no more tape on the record to mark your place
djstylus: fucking memory cards
djstylus: store all your loop and cue points, and wave data!!
DJBOOK: wow
djstylus: the platter is touch sensitive
djstylus: you can press down
djstylus: and the audio responds
djstylus: time compression
djstylus: change the tempo and leave the pitch the same
DJBOOK: ur sold
djstylus: not yet
djstylus: they're over $1000 each
DJBOOK: they'll come down
djstylus: I know
djstylus: it's only a matter of time
