Metal Lungies

In you’re planning on being in one of the select cities listed below in the next week or so, it would be to your benefit to check out Nick Catchdubs and other acts from his label, Fool’s Gold Records, as they’re putting on a free tour sponsored by Scion. Scion’s latest sampler is a double-CD featuring music from Fool’s Gold artists like Kid Cudi and Kid Sister. Check the tracklist here.

You may remember Nick from his having hosted Wale’s 100 Miles And Running mix (still available for D/L at Nick’s blog), which was my introduction to the D-M-V’s future star, who I’ve been a fan of ever since. For that reason, Nick will always hold a special place in memory bank… in addition to the fact that he’ll be contributing to our next Beat Drop — a revisiting of a previous Beat Drop honoree’s catalog — which should be up on ML early next week.

• Tuesday, October 21 — Miami, FL

• Wednesday, October 22 — Atlanta, GA

• Thursday, October 28 — Philadelphia, PA

• Wednesday, October 29 — Baltimore, MD

RSVP for these shows here. And, as you might’ve guessed, Fool’s Gold will also be part of the massive CMJ Music Marathon taking over New York City this week.
