The Knux – Hard Days Night Second song was released back in May of this year.  It’s “Gold And A Pager” from the reigning blogosphere champions of hip hop, The Cool Kids.  If you haven’t heard about The Cool Kids then you need to wake up!  Mikey Rocks and Chuck Inglish (both living in Chicago) met through myspace and formed the group around 2005.  They didn’t start posting their tracks on myspace and blogs until around 2007 and they didn’t put an album out until the beginning of this year.  It’s called The Bake Saleso check it out if you’re into this track… The Cool Kids – Gold And A Pager Third song is a mash up- Mobb Deep VS Ray Parker Jr.  It was put together by DJ Ayres and it’s pretty hilarious.  IT’s called “Ghostbusters Got It Twisted”  DJ Ayers – Ghostbusters Got It Twisted ]]> http://audioabsinthe.com/blog/2008/10/weekly-dose-10408/feed/ 0
