Lo-fi mopey pop artist Kupek has released a new digital single, featuring none other than me: famous Jesse Dangerously!  There are a few things that are interesting about this:

- The song deals with the modern cult of celebrity, and how the media colludes with regular folk to make punching bags out of strangers just for having the audacity to be recognizable.

- It can also be about how jerks and even your friends can treat you like crap on the internet.

- It can also be that it is a very, very good-sounding song!

- Bad DJ Budget Cuts shows up to throw a few scratches down.

- "Kupek" is the musical alter-ego of comics juggernaut Bryan Lee O'Malley, creator and sole creative force behind the new landmark series "Scott Pilgrim."  I am not joking when I say that shooting just wrapped on the film adaptation of his books, and that the film is directed by Edgar Wright (Shaun Of The Dead, Hot Fuzz, Spaced) and stars Michael Cera (y'all know the name!).

So go and download it for free, why don't you?  Right here:

Okay America, here I come once again!

I’ll be playing with MC Frontalot, Terp2it and MC Lars on Friday, March 20th at a venue called Prague in Austin, TX.

It’s hard as hell to get into SXSW shows, I am mostly relying on Frontalot’s indie cred to keep anyone from showing up and that would help YOU get in. Because you know better, don’t you?

There’s another show in Austin on the immediately subsequent Sunday (22nd) at a spot called United States Art Authority. Early as hell – 7pm. I guess it will also have stand-up comedy?

Everyone please come to Austin and make the friends with me. We are going to eat barbecued meat like hell – I am not even kidding.

see you there,

It was god damn amazing to meet you all! I just thought you might be interested in being friends, and I wanted to run down a few ways in which we might go about that.

First of all, my main web site is dangerously.ca.

My “real” blog is at dangerously.ca/blog (confusing, I know).

You can always e-mail me about anything at jesse@dangerously.ca but if you give it over to spammers it will hurt my feelings. I’d love to talk about music and rap and politics and emotions and rap, though.

There’s an artist page for me at facebook: right here! You should sign up for it!

You should sign up for everything!

Because… we’re friends!

Aren’t we?
