Ok. It's a bit of a slow news day and when the good peeps at Epitaph sent this over, we had to laugh. We really don't even know what to make of this. In this REAL video, Los Angeles based emcee Busdriver gets honored by the Council of the Borough of Avalon Pennsylvania with the keys to the borough (among other fabulous prizes) in declaration of "Busdriver Day." Very random, yet somehow fitting for someone named Regan J. Farquhar (c'mon dog, that ain't really your name. Farquhar?). Again, not exactly sure what Busdriver's connection is to this random part of Pennsylvania.
Busdriver is currently on tour with Flobots. Follow the link for tour dates and to watch his latest video, "Casting Agents And Cowgirls."
This Saturday night the El-P, Dizzee Rascal and Busdriver tour hit New York City's Webster Hall, with special guests Kidz In The Hall and Aesop Rock. Okayplayer sent reporter-at-large Candace L. to check the show. Read her review here, and then check the rest of the tour dates to catch the show at a city near you. Also, make sure you peep El-P's blog "Bastard's Delight" for some photos from the NYC show, along with his typically hilarious quotes-of-the-day and a sneak peak at the track listing for his new meggamixxx2.
