Camp Revival

Ah, a (semi-)new video from Mos Def, for a (mostly) new song. If you know me, which you might, you know that I have deep respect for Mos Def. Needless to say, I am anticipating great things from The Ecstatic. Mos Def has always rhymed from his heart and I expect nothing less from the new album (which drops June 9). He is empowering because he knows the value of language, which he expresses visually in the video. What are you waiting for? Watch it.

Oh, and by the way, he is playing Sasquatch. Saturday at 7:15 on the Wookie Stage. Camp Revival will be there, will you?

Maybe it is because they have already played a few reunion shows, but personally I am shivering with excitement. Murder City Devils are going to be performing at Sasquatch this year. I will be there on Sunday at 5:20 on the Main Stage to watch them perform.

MCD was one of the reasons I made my way to the Pacific Northwest. Spencer Moody, for me, was an icon in my youth. He was the vision of my future. The Murder City Devils seemed to symbolize this post-apocalyptic city that I now call home. I made my way here, I didn’t know what to expect. Whatever I was looking for, I’m not sure if I found it, but I know this: whenever I hear Moody’s squall it reminds me of the passion to make a life of my own. So here I am, doing my best to live freely.

The closest I have come to seeing them perform is with Moody’s newest project: Triumph of Lethargy Skinned Alive to Death. And now for a short video… TOLSATD

First one to send a video of themselves chugging a Diet Mtn Dew and saying something excitedly about Camp Revival to will win the ticket.

Our winner ( and perhaps a runner up ) will also win internet-immortality by being featured in a real Camp Revival followup post!!

This is no joke, folks. The show is definitely sold out, and this ticket is waiting for you. Don’t delay. Unless this post says otherwise, the ticket is still up for grabs.

Include your phone #, brah.

UPDATE: We have a winner.
