Philadelphia Slick - Oil
After a solid debut album (Culture Industry) that may not have been felt by all true hip hop heads, Philadelphia Slick
is back with their sophomore LP - Oil. For those that don't know, Philly Slick is a live hip hop group that features as
many as ten musicians, but maintains a five person core, headed by lead emcee and band leader, Noesis. On Oil,
Noesis spits about everything from Coffee (Coffee Cold 2009) to Philadelphia's gun problems (Hunt V Kill), with lines
like "Black goddess from Guatemala see ya/ and I have to holla holla all these onomatopoeias" and "Sensational,
selling drugs for Columbine / while Hillary Rodham-sized villages are volumized." At times sounding a bit like Aesop
Rock, at times a bit like MF DOOM, the emcee veteran really comes into his own on this album, breaking through the
good-but-always-similar-flow that was featured on the band's first album.
Instrumentally, Oil is more diverse than Culture Industry, and while the always pleasing horns make their appearance
on stand out tracks like Gonna Get Over and Ignition, singer Jenn Z. is featured as an instrument just as often. On the
aforementioned Hunt V Kill as well as on Turn It Up, the female vocalist produces heavenly background melodies for
Noesis to rhyme over. Also, it seems as if Philadelphia Slick did a bit of sampling, as Philly Mayor Nutter is heard at
the end of one track, there is some odd military advertisement following one song, and the "Words Interlude" features
some british woman talking about word usage.
As an album, Oil is a great piece of hip hop; the type of album you're going to want to rewind once you reach the end.
Though at times you might yearn for more explosive horns and live drums (as on Culture Industry), you'll definitely
be able to listen to Oil more extensively and for a longer time. I know I haven't stopped bumping it.

After a very successful run last Summer, the Teen Board at Oxford Valley Mall is bringing back the outdoor concert series, featuring local area bands on select Thursdays and Fridays from 7pm – 9pm, throughout June, July and August. Concerts will be held outdoors around the fountain outside Entrance 1 at the Mall, weather permitting.
To kick off the series, on June 19th from 5pm – 9pm there will be a Battle of the Bands in partnership with Middletown Township Parks & Recreation Department. Two Stages will be set up with one band performing every 30 minutes. A total of 8 bands will be selected to perform in the finale on June 19th! Winning band will be guaranteed a time slot in the Summer Concert series, along with other prizes to be supplied by the township.

Has anyone here seen these "She's coming home, Philly" advertisements that are floating around the Internet and Chicago? I have no idea who's coming, but it is definitely interesting. Something is coming up and it looks big. It's viral marketing at its finest. Here's what Philebrity.com had to say about it:
"This Moment In Viral Marketing: “She” Is Coming Back To Philly, Whoever The Hell “She” Is
If you’ve been on The Book of Faces or The Google or elsewhere on the web lately — and obviously, you have — you may have seen links for shescominghome.com, with the tagline, “Hey Philadelphia! She’s back… Can you guess who it is?” Go to the site, and it’s a woman’s silhouette against the Philly skyline with a countdown clock to the reveal of who “She” is. (As of this writing, 2 days, 19 hours.) Well, we’ve done a little snooping around, and we’ve got two theories on who “She” might be:
First, the real one: The shescominghome.com domain is registered to concert promoters AEG, so we can safely assume whoever “She” is, she is a musical performer of some kind. We called the AEG Philly office — full disclosure, they’re an advertiser on Philebs — and found that either they really did not know who “She” was, or were feigning ignorance. Fair enough. Without the “viral,” it’s just “marketing” and what fun is that? But upon further Internet snooping, we have developed a hunch, and we think that the “She” in question, could be, maybe, Celine Dion. The weird miniature Jennifer Aniston silhouette would seem to back that up, as would this link, which purports that Dion is “back” in 2010 with a series of concerts booked by - natch - AEG. So, yeah, Celine Dion. Who cares.
Second, the better one: That the “She” in question is the long-standing mysterious subject of every “That’s What She Said” joke, ever. Which would be AMAZING. For years, we have been amazed by both the candor with which the infamous “She” reportedly jokes about her sexual exploits, as well as the fact that, after all that nasty stuff, “She” is even actually still in possession of a working vagina. The identity of “She” has been a mystery through the ages, and the idea that she would be coming “back” to Philly opens up a, pardon the expression, Pandora’s box of other questions. It makes the mind wobble. And then reach for penicillin.
And, if perchance “She” would turn out to be Celine Dion and the woman Who Said That, well, that would work out pretty awesome, too."
Well, what do you guys think? Who do you think this mysterious girl coming home to Philly is???

AUTHENTIC, Collective for Women Artists and Musicians of Color
PR+, “It’s All in the Name.”
___________________________________________________________________
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Local Women, under 25, Making Moves in Art and Music While Giving Back to Philadelphia
On Saturday, November 1, 2008, AUTHENTIC and KHOLI PR+ will present (in conjunction with Philadelphia’s local artist hotspot, The Arts Garage), a “Dance for Democracy, the third event in AUTHENTIC’s “Art for Awareness” series.
AUTHENTIC is asking that all community organizers, promoters, politicians, business executives, and anyone not named in this list come out to The Arts Garage on November 1, 2008 at 6 pm.
Everyone is invited because democracy is not anyone’s exclusive responsibility.
“Dance for Democracy” takes the best of your local poets, musicians, artists, and community organizers, then brings them out from behind closed doors into public view to release their political opinions. The event, sponsored by Glaceau Smart and Vitamin Water and The Arts Garage, is part community fundraiser for Philadelphia’s Project H.O.M.E. and City team Ministries, part listening party for Philadelphia native and recently-signed Columbia recording artist, Selina Carrera.
Simone Banks and Carrie Y.T. Kholi, Co-Founders and Partners in AUTHENTIC and PR+, agree to describe their “mixed-medium” events using one word: different.
“I wish we could put questions on our flyers,” says Banks. “Like, ‘Tired of the same ol’ same ol’?’” “Philadelphia has a lot of really awesome and authentic artists and musicians right here. We also pull from NY, D.C., Baltimore, and Atlanta. You don’t have to go far to find talent. AUTHENTIC and the artists that we work with are just trying to remind people that you can do that. You can find the talent, market it, and still care about your community. You can still give back. This is not something we see every day.”
“We are writers and students first, you know?,” adds Kholi. “… Simone is a journalist because of Temple University. I care about words and craft because of Hampton University. We stalk talent because we feed off of it. It fuels our passion. It makes us stop and think, ‘Who is this artist? What can I do for her? What can she do for AUTHENTIC? What new partnership, new creative force is going to be formed?” As she laughs, Kholi adds, “Then we think, ‘Now how can we write about this, blog about it, talk about it, let the world know?’”
“Dance for Democracy” will serve as a solid opportunity for the Philadelphia community leaders to come together with the Philadelphia community. This is an event, a moment of extreme potential, not to be missed.
Final Event Details:
• Where: The Arts Garage, 1516 Parrish Street, Philadelphia, PA / 1533-35 Ridge Avenue Philadelphia, PA (Both addresses apply to the same venue.)
• When: November 1, 2008 at 6 pm
Entry fee:
• One donated coat for Project H.O.M.E.
OR
• $5 donation to City Team Ministries
*** THIS IS AN OUTDOOR EVENT ... BRING TWO COATS ... ONE FOR YOU ... AND ONE FOR PROJECT H.O.M.E.
About Selina Carrera
Selina Carrera is a prolific, stylistic vocalist, recently signed to Columbia Records as a recording artist. Carrera's distinctive sound is a blend of Latin jazz and hip-hop, vocally. A futuristic lyricist too complex to be classified as a rapper, she fits under the title of MC, and is also a spoken-word poet. Like most great vocalists, Carrera began singing in her church choir at the age of eight, and has been professionally trained since the age of ten. Carrera's main musical influences are samba, salsa, jazz, funk, and hip-hop. A Philadelphia native, Carrera was both a student at the Girard Academic Music Program and a vocal major at the Creative and Performing Arts High School.
Recently, her hard work has been recognized not only locally, but also around the country. Carrera has been humbled by having the privilege of being managed by Chris Schwartz, co-founder of the renowned independent label, RuffHouse Records. RuffHouse was responsible for fostering such acts as Kriss Kross and The Fugees. Carrera is now hard at work producing her debut album.
Selina Carrera is blessed beyond words and feels completely satisfied with the way life is taking her. As a real musician she is definitely an artist on the rise and will be truly legendary.
About AUTHENTIC / PR+
Authentic / PR+, as a partnership, is a visual art and music collective focusing on female artists, usually of black and Latino descent. We work with, and brand, many female artists in various geographic regions of the United States, some including Queen Sheba, DJ ShErOck, Toy, DJ Victoria, Selina Carrera, and many more. AUTHENTIC recognizes the power of music and art to change and affect lives and, as such, is in the process of creating a series of events raising awareness about sexual violence, homelessness, LGBTQ rights, and AIDS; especially within the Philadelphia community.

PIMP MY EXXON
MUSIC IS OUR OIL TO HOST PRESS CONFERENCE AND FREE CONCERT AT ROCK & ROLL EXXON ON OCTOBER 11TH 2008 TO ANNOUNCE THE "MUSIC IS OUR OIL" WORLD TOUR CONCERT/FILM
It's better than the MTV reality show Pimp My Ride and it's happening in Philadelphia on October 11th 2008. An EXXON gas station recently dubbed "ROCK & ROLL EXXON", is getting "pimped out," "tricked out," and rebranded to serve as the venue for a press conference and "BETA TEST" concert to unveil a revolutionary world tour/concert and film titled "MUSIC IS OUR OIL” (MIO). The MUSIC IS OUR OIL world tour, which is scheduled to begin June 19, 2008, will send America's greatest Hip-Hop and Rock artists to oil producing countries to barter music and other essential commodities for 20 million barrels of oil. The 20 million barrels of crude oil will be transferred into 125-gallon MIO gas cards, which will be distributed to 3.2 million Americans thru the Temporary Assistance for Needy Family (TANF) program.
Organizer, and producer of MUSIC IS OUR OIL, 3Kingdoms Entertainment CEO Mikal Kamil says, "The purpose of this press conference is to introduce to the world a new American model we call "MUSIC IS OUR OIL." We will announce MIO's strategic vision, execution, and expected outcome. We will also encourage the great thinkers, activists, and doers of the world to be a part of this "Great Collaboration." Kamil says, "We are living in very progressive and different times. For the first time in history an African American is running successfully for president of the United States and EXXON MOBILE is hosting a BETA TEST concert on their gas station lot. In a very sexy and cool way MIO will show how gasoline can be used as a positive purchase and as part of the energy solution."
Much of the coolness of the BETA TEST will come from the eclectic personalities involved in the concert. The outgoing cast will consist of grafitti artists, indie rock bands, hip-hop artists, leading members of the music, oil, gas, ethanol, solar and auto industry and surrogates from the Barack Obama campaign. Adding to the list of unusal suspects, ethonol fueled indy cars, electric cars, gasoline tankers will serve as the backdrop for the concert's stage.
MUSIC IS OUR OIL presents
"THE BETA TEST" concert
After the press conference, 3Kingdoms Entertainment, Rock & Roll EXXON and EXXON distributor Lehigh Gas will sponsor a free concert titled "The Beta Test." "The Beta Test" will be held in Philadelphia outside at Rock & Roll EXXON gas station; located at 2330 Aramingo ave. The free concert will feature 10 indie rock bands and hip-hop artists who will barter their musical performances for gasoline. Artists will recieve a full tank of gas and the additional gas will then be transferred into 25-gallon MIO gas cards, which will be issued to low-income residents thru the Temporary Assistance for Needy Family (TANF) program. In addition all of the staging and concert production items as well as grafitti artists services are being bartered for gasoline. Circumventing the deflated dollar, weak economy is essential in offseting the cost of the event. With an emphasis on diversity, experimentation, linkage, collaboration and being part of the solution, the BETA TEST concert will transform a local EXXON gas station lot into ROCK & ROLL EXXON. The BETA TEST will also serve as a platform for the Obama/Biden and MCain/Palin campaign to push their "GET OUT TO VOTE" intiatitive. Surrogates from both candidates will be attending.
“The rising cost of energy has created a strain on all consumers across the country. In addition to dispersing gas cards through the Music is our Oil program, we’re encouraging people to use E10, a 10 percent blend of ethanol and 90 percent gasoline,” said Toni Nuernberg, executive director of the Ethanol Promotion and Information Council (EPIC), a Music is Our Oil sponsor.
The more than 9 billion gallons of ethanol in our fuel supply is helping to keep prices at least 15 percent lower, saving the average American family approximately $500 per year, according to Merrill Lynch.
“The long-term solution to high gas prices is diversifying our energy choices” said Tom Collina, executive director of 2020 Vision, a national group promoting alternative energy. “We need to give consumers more choices such as plug-in electric cars. With plug-ins, you can go from $4 per gallon of gas to $1 per ‘gallon’ of electricity.”
Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEVs) will soon be on the market from GM, Toyota, Nissan and others. 2020 Vision supports the early introduction of these vehicles as well as federal incentives for consumers to make these cars affordable. “These cars are cheaper to drive, use domestic fuel, and dramatically reduce global warming pollution,” said Collina. “They are the ultimate solution to high gas prices.” 2020 Vision will drive a plug-in car to the event.
Other collaborators and sponsors include: Rock & Roll EXXON, Lehigh Gas, International Recipricol Trade Association, Pennsylvania Gasoline Retailers and Allied Trades, Ethanol Promotion and Information Council and 2020 Vision.
The BETA TEST is a test concert of the intended June 09 MUSIC IS OUR OIL world tour concert/film. Aside from the entertainment and oil industry, MIO has a lot of moving parts connecting to one mainframe. The BETA TEST concert is an early step in the development of the MIO world tour concert series. The BETA TEST will serve as the precurser to the start of larger activities with many moving parts. The "Great Collaborators" of MIO will use the BETA TEST to discover whether MIO's entertaining, logistical, marketing, technological, social and philanthropic concepts can be successfully realized.
Starting three years ago, 3Kingdoms Entertainment's Mikal Kamil did the unthinkable; he brought the entertainment and energy industry together to help raise money for low-income Americans that couldn't afford heat. This event was dubbed "Artists For Heat." Mikal Kamil, brainchild of MIO says, "We are also doing The Beta Test for personal reasons. We want to prove the naysayers wrong AGAIN. We want to say WE TESTED THE MIO AND IT WORKS."
On June 19, 2009, 3Kingdoms Entertainment will launch MUSIC IS OUR OIL and revolutionize the world of benefit mega events. Additional details regarding the logistics of MUSIC IS OUR OIL will be disclosed at the press conference. Members of the press and energy advocacy community are invited to attend both the press conference and concert. Tickets to the free concert will be distributed in Philadelphia through local radio promotions, and a variety of other promotional activities.

Elements of blues, jazz, burlesque cabaret, classical and leftfield contemporary music make their take on folk music peerless, fearless and wholeheartedly brave, winning fans as disparate as Robert Wyatt, Kate Rusby, Paul Morley, Phil Jupitus and Joan As Police Woman.

Fiery rock n’ roll band Aloud performs at WMMR’s Local Shots Live at Doc Watson’s Pub on Tuesday, September 30th.

Fan The Fury was produced in NYC by former Sony mix engineer Chuck Brody, whose other independent projects include work with Northern State, American Princes, Five O’ Clock Heroes, and Yoko Ono. The CD features Aloud’s dual vocal team of matter-of-fact tenor/screamer Henry Beguiristain and extraordinary alto/crooner Jen de la Osa. The pair recite and belt over their own shimmering guitars and rhythmic grooves provided by bassist Roy Fonaine and drummer Ross Lohr. A dynamic collection, Fan The Fury is ‘packed with twenty-something rage, but also brims with flourishes and crescendos’ (AlgoRhythms). Since the official Boston release last March, Fan The Fury has received rave reviews from alt weeklies and bloggers throughout the Northeast and beyond, and tracks from the CD are currently being broadcast on over 100 college radio stations nationwide.
