Linkoln Logs April

But I don't party and shake my butt
I leave that to the brothers with the funny haircuts...

CO SPORTS:

-Every Day Should Be Saturday has the recap of Coach Hawk's visit to Gainesville. I have a sneaky feeling that ol Hawk might get a web-wide and media-wide rep for being the Hulk Hogan of the coaching realm.

-Your Colorado Rockies, first place, bitches. The Purple Row has a breakdown of the early-season "showdown" between the titanic Rox and the Fathers. April 6? So what, get those World Series plans ready. Either that or start talking about the Broncos as usual in August.

HIP HOP:

-A album that I've really been feeling this spring is Wisemen's Wisemen Approaching. It's definitely flown under the radar but offers a classic, stripped down sound and impressive wordplay between MCs Bronze Nazareth, Kevlaar 7, Salute, and Phillie. The CD is peppered with guest appearances from Wu-affiliates Killah Priest, Prodigal Sunn, and GZA. Other guests include Planet Asia and Vast Aire of Can O, who blesses the track "Iconoclasts" with some straight fire.

-Beefs in Hip Hop are about as common as shiny rims, gun lyrics, and wack beats. Unfortunately, none of theses beefs are worthy of LL-Moe Dee or even Jay-Nas. EWA takes a look at the "beef" between producers Scott Stoch and Timbaland. There's actually alot of material there: Storch's wack Darth Vader sunglasses, Tim's freakish steriod-Tookie-like physique, the fact that either of them are rapping. What's next? Sound engineer beef? The roadies? Tour bus drivers? "Yo, you pull into the Flying J all stupid lame, you fill the bus with low octane gasoline." Holler.

BEER:

-A trip to the liquor store yesterday revealed the lot of spring seasonal beers that breweries flood the shelves with. Seasonal beers seemed to be limited to one- Coors Winterfest that your drunk Uncle brought over on Christmas Eve. Now we are hammered with beers for every season (I got tipsy off a November candied-yams beer last year.) Beer Advocate chronicles the spring selections for the imbibers and Slushy Gutter heads.
