Last November I posted the song “Smell Yo Dick” by Riskay featuring Aviance and Real — a charming little number that proclaims “somethins goin on” and asks “can I smell yo dick?” It’s the tragic anthem of a girl who suspects her boyfriend has been out all night “creepin.” Of course this is only the girlfriend’s suspicion. She needs evidence and the only way to find out for sho is to smell his penis…. Have I over-stated this?

Well, it was recently brought to my attention that there is now an official music video. Finally. In addition to the telling narrative of a “creepin” man, “Smell Yo Dick” also features excessive product placement for Apple’s 3G iPhone — product placement that also ends in tragedy.

So many pop-culture memes….

Many of you probably know Pierre Hurel, the professor - he teaches History of Jazz and French at Emerson - but did you know he’s also one of Boston’s most talented musicians? C’est vrai! Il est magnifique.

Pierre will be performing Wednesday, October 10, 2007 at Regatta Jazz Bar in Cambridge. He’ll do two sets, the first starts at 7:30. Tickets are $12. Complete details can be found on Regatta’s website.

“Hurel is one of Boston’s real gems. His style is impressionistic and adventurous, coming off somewhere between Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett.”
- Steve Greenlee, Boston Globe

On October 10 you can download Radiohead’s new album “In Rainbows” from this site. The price? Whatever you think it’s worth. That’s right. If you want to pay $20 for it, then you can pay that. If you want to pay a buck you can do that too. Or if you don’t want to pay anything for it, that’s also cool. You can literally take the money and run.
