1018AM Live From The Dove Shack

950AM Update:

The Dove Shack is bustling with activity this morning.

The SupaTroopas, my own musical Umpa Lumpas, were up early and started running around the yard by the time I woke at 8am.

Captain Chief Rocka, the officer in charge of bass kiks, informed me of the arrival of a new bass kik which I was extremely excited to go see. In my pajamas, I ran out to the back yard and saw the most amazing piece of sonic art I have ever encountered.

I called for a Low End Audio meeting with all necessary departments to discuss the immediate introduction of this bass kik into our production system.

Then I asked to be excused so I could..brush my teeth.

The Ear-Woks were in the Shack early as well. Those guys have barely gotten sleep since the Olympics began. They often say they miss their home in China but that's all I ever hear. That's probably because the Ear-Woks do most of my hearing from me. They single handedly managed the department of EQ here at the Dove Shock.

The M.O.G.L.O.Ms have been visiting my guys in the keyboard department. Apparently, they're all ex classmates at Too Short's YOU CAN PLAY BUT CAN U PIMP INSTITUTE OF HIGHER 7TH CHORDS. The M.O.G.L.O.Ms are cool cats. I met them through an artist friend I know. Odd fellow with weird hair and just stands in his corner and dances all dance. His cousin, Jack Be Nimble does a similar "do my own shit in my corna" routine.

We are proud to say that we finished the groundwork for a remix for a artist which client-music maestro confidentiality laws apply even at my end of the woods. But it was written by one of my favorite producer/songwriters and this is one of my favorite songs that he produced. I can't say his name either cause that could put me in jeopardy of breaking those same laws.

The Department of Sonic Crimes recently replaced their long-serving agency director, Kent HearYou with a French crime fighter named M.P Tweeeoui. In his first press conference, I remember watching him detail his "war on biters and fakes" which he described as a growing concern and even went to the extent of publicly releasing a list of producers/musicians that he deemed were members of music's "Al-Qaeda". Odd fellow.

I have no worries. I run a totally legit music manufacturing business. All of the 500 employees that work here are all legally employed and have valid visas. Well, except for Genie from Aladdin, who recently joined us as Senior Vice President of Ad Libs, Expressions and Heavy Breathing.  I compare my employment of Genie to Diddy's hiring of his old boss, Andre Harrell.

I have a meeting with Captain Chief Rocka at 1030. A group of Saudi merchants have sailed 2 months to come see us regarding the construction of a musical oasis, literally, in the middle of the Sahara. I was more than helping to consult on what was necessary to build a flourishing music community like we do here at Shangri La Too.

I will speak to you soon.
