On the weekend of Gasparilla, we got crunk in the studio for the pledge drive. On the scene were DJ Deacon, DJ Sorta, DJFuego, Simone, Maria, Trena Flame and your boy Chismatic. At one point in the night, an actual dog rolled into the studio. When we get on the air its a certified party.

Chismatic: Air Check

This is a story about assault, struggle and survival. It is an imperfect draft, but still worth the telling here on the 'cloud.

Corrections:

1. The detectives only showed her guns once, in the ER.
2. It is not clear at what point the police got a DNA sample from Eric Lewis.
3. The sentencing was Sept. 8th, not August 4th.
4. Ms. Gaev would like to stress that some of the police really were quite helpful.

Interview with Saul Williams

I want my money back. 
I'm down here drowning in your fat. 
You got me on my knees praying for everything you lack. 
I ain't afraid of you. 
I'm just a victim of your fears. 
You cower in your tower praying that I'll disappear, 
I got another plan, one that requires me to stand. 
On the stage or in the street, don't need no microphone or beat. 
And when you hear this song, if you ain't dead then sing along. 
Bang and strum to these here drums til you get where you belong. 

I got a list of demands written on the palm of my hands. 
I ball my fist and you're gonna know where I stand. 
We're living hand to mouth! 
You wanna be somebody? 
See somebody? 
Try and free somebody? 
I gotta list of demands written on the palm of my hands. 
I ball my fist and you're gonna know where I stand. 
We're living hand to mouth! 
Hand to mouth! 

I wrote a song for you today while I was sitting in my room. 
I jumped up on my bed today and played it on a broom. 
I didn't think that it would be a song that you would hear, 
but when I played it in my head, I made you reappear. 
I wrote a video for it and I acted out each part. 
Then I took your picture out and taped it to my heart. 
I've taped you to my heart dear girl, I've taped you to my 
heart and if you pull away from me you'll tear my life apart.. 

I got a list of demands written on the palm of my hands. 
I ball my fist and you're gonna know where I stand. 
We're living hand to mouth! 
You wanna be somebody? 
See somebody? 
Try and free somebody? 
I gotta list of demands written on the palm of my hands. 
I ball my fist and you're gonna know where I stand. 
We're living hand to mouth! 
Hand to mouth! 

Call the police! 
I'm strapped to the teeth and liable to disregard your every belief. 
Call on the law! 
I'm fixin' to draw a line between what is and seems and call up a brawl. 
Call'em up now! 
'cause it's about to go pow! 
I'm standing on the threshold of the ups and the downs. 
Call up a truce! 
'cause I'm about to bust loose. 
Protect ya neck,'cause, son, I'm breaking out of my noose. 

I got a list of demands written on the palm of my hands. 
I ball my fist and you're gonna know where I stand. 
We're living hand to mouth! 
You wanna be somebody? 
See somebody? 
Try and free somebody? 
I gotta list of demands written on the palm of my hands. 
I ball my fist and you're gonna know where I stand. 
We're living hand to mouth! 
Hand to mouth!

This was produced and recorded for a university assessment which asked students to either write a case study or record a radio documentary on a seminal record.

Me, being so over writing essays, reports and case studies for other subjects, decided to produce this ABC style album review.
