Yes yes, I know you all are probably SXSW fans over WMC, but WMC is still my domain and I will be there all freaking six days, from Tuesday to Sunday…good lord. One nice thing about going and working for several publications though is that you get an automatic in to most events. URB this year will be using Twitter to update the URB.com blog live throughout the entire week, so I will direct you guys there as my reviews start to go up.

On another *gulp* note…I have to interview Tommy Lee while I’m down in Miami. For those of you who don’t know, he has started a new group with DJ Aero and Deadmau5 called WTF which will officially debut at WMC. I want to hate it, really, but the tracks are great. However, I’m assuming those of you in the industry will want to read something with Tommy addressing his place within electronic music rather than just speaking on how great it is he’s doing something different. If you have any questions you’d like for me to ask Tommy Lee, leave them in the comments below. In the meantime, here are three debut tracks from WTF:

Also, following up from the other night at the JUSTICE AFTERPARTY….oh my…what an event. It was slammed at Debonair Social Club and myself and Joe Vortech got to play to a packed dancefloor that was already primed from witnessing the beast that is Justice. Here were some of the highlight tunes that got everyone in a tizzy:

Luke & Angello: Be (Toru S. 2008 Rebootleg)

Kid Cudi: Day N Nite (Crookers Remix)

After we closed the place down I headed over to Smartbar to see the Bloody Beetroots and The Glamour. Caught the tail end of the BB’s set and then went backstage with them and James Amato (music director of Smartbar and head of Potty Mouth Records) to hang and ask them a few questions. Unfortunately, the plans were thwarted, due to two groupies who were drunkenly hanging over their every word. This was the highlight of the evening:

Bobby (from BB - said in amazing thick Italian accent): Ok, now you girls have to teach us English.

Drunken girl (said while leaning over and trying to look seductive): In America, the only word you need to know…is sex.

Really? You said that? If any of you live in Chicago, that gem will be in the “Heard On The Street” section of this coming week’s TimeOut. Also, there is word that they will be coming back to Chicago again (to Smartbar) in the near future, so if you missed them this time around, have no fear.
