    Subject: QUANNUM NEWS 2.19.02

    Some late breaking news from Quannum HQ, our spies in the UK report
    that three Poets of Rhythm shows are looming. Check the tour page at
    www.quannum.com for details on these Poets dates as well as some new
    ones from Lifesavas.

    Blackalicious' Sno-Core tour continues this week up the West Coast,
    with dates looming in Portland and Seattle shortly. Apologies go out
    to those of you in Arcata, where yesterday's date was cancelled. If
    you feel truly wronged, shoot me a heart-wrenching email and I'll see
    what I can do to make it up to you, I dunno, maybe a poster or
    something.

    As Blackalicious' "Make You Feel That Way" continues to shoot up the
    radio charts, the group are in LA this week making the video for what
    is easily one of their best songs yet, with cameos scheduled from
    Lyrics Born, Joyo Velarde, DJ Shadow and other Quannum VIPs. Despite
    some very creative suggestions from certain Quannum employees, the
    video will unfortunately not feature the Gift of Gab riding across
    the Australian outback in a post-apocolyptic sci-fi adventure. More
    details on the world of Blackalicious are available at
    www.blackalicious.com.

    Those of you in the Bay Area interested in the prospect of rubbing
    shoulders with those who rub shoulders with giants will have the
    opportunity to do so twice this week. First off, there's episode
    three of Ting!, the monthly rocksteady reggae party thrown by Tomas
    of XLR8R magazine/Umoja fame and your friendly neighborhood Quannum
    manager, me. With DJ action from Tomas, Cool Chris of the wondrous
    Groove Merchant store and special guest Dublinator, previous episodes
    have featured fine Jamaican tunes from the 70s, heated debates over
    pool table rules and Red Stripe-induced comradery aplenty. Come dance
    with your sweetie, drink wine, recline on the couch, flirt with
    cuties, whatever floats your boat.

    The bolder amongst you may be inclined to venture on Sunday to
    Bigfoot Lounge, where the excellent Flyer Magazine is hosting the
    second in their new series of Slow Burning fetes, in which DJ
    neophytes man the decks and spin whatever the hell they feel like.
    This time, against better judgement perhaps, they've asked yours
    truly. Be prepared for an exciting mix of all kinds of nerdy stuff.
    Buy the DJ enough Budweisers and he'll spill the beans about Lyrics
    Born's hairpiece.
