MVSEVM
MVSEVM is three men from Finland and their first single is out on Discobelle records. They also mention this small piece of wisdom on their website: “Better to be a reborn has-been than a dead-end wannabe.”
Words for the wise, now listen.

Heads Up: P.O.S. & Dessa
The first time I heard P.O.S. was when he remixed Minus The Bear’s track Knights for their 2007 remix album, Interpretaciones Del Oso. This actually became my favorite of the remixes featured, but offered little in the way of how P.O.S.’s actual music might sound. Much to my surprise, P.O.S. turned out to be a hip-hop artist with a couple of albums already under his belt. Well, of course there was more to it than that.
As it turns out, he’s a pretty damn good rapper, if underground is what you’re into. Personally, I’ve always avoided the conscious-rap tendencies of the underground in favor of something I could move my feet to, or enjoy without feeling like a bad person. Thankfully, P.O.S. produces a large body of his own music (hence the MTB remix). This has allowed him to avoid the monotonous musical styling of some of his Rhymesayers compatriots, and rap over beats that vary in influence from punk (where P.O.S. has his roots) to noise, and dance to dub. This sense of variety also permeates throughout his lyrics; some are aggressive and confrontational, while others are personal and humorous.
Again, Oregon picks up a pair of hip-hop shows on the north and south side. P.O.S. will be joined by the new Rhymesayers recruit Grieves and Dessa in Portland at Berbati’s Pan on the 13th of this month, as well as in Eugene at WOW Hall the following day. Sorry kids, the Portland show is 21+.

Heads Up: Eyedea & Abilities
“One last time I’m really hurting/ Just a little taste to take off the edge/ I rummage through old love letters/ And photographs in a desperate reach for/ A clue into who I am.” Sentiments like this may put Eyedea & Abilities into the sentimental spectrum of the rap world, and to a certain extent, they fit there. More reasonably though, these kinds of statements indicate an introspection that is self-effacing and storytelling. ”When you’ve never been moved its really hard to move on.” They continue, “It ain’t all good/ but its all good enough/ so I know I’m alright.” It’s as if they’re offering advice rather than looking for it.
And who better to do it than Eyedea & Abilities? Two people who are rarely photographed without smiling, even when it’s evident they’d rather not be. Their actual attitude may not be readily evident in their music, but it’s evident in their energy, something that translates very well to their live show. Lucky for Oregon, they’ll be hitting the north and south side on their upcoming tour. They’re bringing along the excellent Dosh, who’s new track is indication that Tommy is going to be another classic.
Watch it all go down Sunday, February 7th & Monday, February 8th in Portland and Eugene respectively.

Welcome to fuckbadmusic.com
We are based in Portland Oregon, and thus, write often about our scene. This blog is for fun. It is about talking about everything and nothing. It is not to be taken terribly seriously, though sometimes it will be terribly serious. Sometimes it will be about things we all care about, sometimes it will be very personal. Music is for sampling only--if you like it, support the artist and buy it on vinyl or go dance with us at the show. If you are the owner of a sound file, and would like it removed, email us here.
