I love Def Jux so much and have for years, but my question is, what three albums would you pick to show a new fan?

I'd probably pick Aesop Rock's Labor Days, El-P's I'll Sleep When You're Dead and Mr. Lif's I Phantom.

Honorable mentions to Cage's Hell's Winter, Cannibal Ox's The Cold Vein and Camu Tao's King of Hearts (I know it was technically released through Fat Possum but was finished by El and mostly recorded in the Def Jux studio).

Non Phixion have got to be one of my favorite groups of all time in the history of Underground Hip Hop, The Future is Now is an absolute classic in my eyes.

I even love all the early shit with MC Serch during the Geffen years, just so damn good.

You had Sabac talking about political and societal stuff, Gore talking about just straight up crazy shit, Bill always had the great rough street meets conspiracy feel and with Necro on beats, that's pretty damn unmatchable imo!

I even got love for Serch, without him and 3rd Bass we wouldn't have Non Phixion as he literally put them together and with all the ground 3rd Bass broke.

I know he made an appearance one time and some ECW guys worked FMW (even though it was post Onita ECW) but I often wonder why Onita never got a match or series of matches in ECW.

Imagine Onita vs Sabu in a No Ropes Barbed Wire, imagine Onita and Mike Awesome vs Tommy Dreamer and Terry Funk, Onita vs New Jack or Onita vs Axl Rotten!

I love all the Ricky and Blondie songs they've written and sung on so much!

If I had to pick my favorites they would be Oh Sweet Something, We Got Love and Leaving this Town.

What are your guys favorite Ricky and Blondie songs?

Was lucky enough to get a copy of On Tour a day after RSD!

So far I've listened to the first three tracks (got home late after the concert we went to!) and I really like it so far!

I'm so excited to hear the versions of Forever, The Night Was So Young, Drive In and Marcella, especially Forever, I've never heard Brian sing a Dennis song before I believe.

And that Our Prayer/Gee/Heroes and Villains version is heavenly imo.

I went to the Park, Spitalfield and Danny Stevens show last night at Dumb Records with my gf and it ruled!

Danny Stevens at first I wasn't into, but man he really won me over, his voice is amazing live and he even had food poisoning and you couldn't even tell.

Spitalfield, who I've been getting into lately absolutely killed it, they sounded damn near like the recorded stuff and they ripped it up playing mostly stuff from Remember Right Now which I loved.

Park was amazing as usual, to me there the best live Emo band and they did a great job even with the lineup switch up (Great job Mike!!), they even played last on the show I went to(Springfield) and played two new songs which I LOVED.

Anyone else go to any of the three shows from this weekend?

In my opinion Nil8 is THE band from Springfield, there iconic to the area and still out there doing the damn thing granted not as much as before.

But I wanna hear some good Nil8 memories and stories and such if you've got them!
