Kanye West on Southpark

Southpark: They have Kanye singing on a vocoder that he’s a gay fish. Totally ridiculous, yet funny!

Distant Relatives | Damian Marley & Nas

Guru Energy Drink | Kanye West

Guru: Kanye West, like many other rappers, is releasing his own energy drink. But Kanye like always keeps it very conscious here. He chose an energy drink that’s all natural and 100% organic. Perhaps raw?

Welcome Himanshu

Today our newest editor representing the Bay Area writes us a review on a local favorite, Zion I. Welcome Himanshu to the Obnoxious Listeners family.

The TakeOver | Zion I

Clocking in at just under an hour, The TakeOver is Zion I’s statement album to the world and is very accurately titled. Whether you have followed the crew since Mind Over Matter (or even before that with the Enter the Woods EP) or are brand new to their music, you will not be disappointed.

Twittering For Musicians

Twitter can be an extremely useful tool if you understand it’s benefits and know what you want to do with it. If you think it’s just a big status update tool, you’re mistaken. It’s a lot more powerful and it can help you achieve a lot. Especially if you’re a musician!

Shifting Sands | Parhelia

Two big occasions occurred with the information I left you in the artist profile of Parhelia I wrote this past January. First, I’m no longer a jobless bum, and more seriously, Parhelia has released their third album. Shifting Sands (2009) was just released and, so far, is only available directly through the band’s website. Parhelia has also had the privilege of sharing the stage with Anathema and God is an Astronaut in the past few months. Their new album is certainly stronger than their first two. By now they’ve developed their own sound, but I can tell they’re still growing musically. Parhelia is still on their way up.
