Hey London Ont. Are you bored? I
know you are. Me too. Not a lot going on. Winter blahs. All the more reason to
get out of the house when the opportunity presents itself. And now, finally, it has: we'll have no excuse to be bored
on Saturday night when Buck 65 plays Call the Office.
You ever notice, though, how this guy sounds just like Rich Terfry from CBC
Radio 2? Hahaha! Got you! It's funny because they are the same guy except Rich uses his real name when
he's on the radio. And that's because radio, and the CBC in particular, is so
professional and rapping is more of a "hey, whatever, make-up a name for
yourself" kind of business. Which is a good thing for Rich Terfry because
no matter how strong your rapping skills no one is getting by in the rap world
with a name like Rich Terfry. I mean, for instance, feasibly Q-Tip or Dre could
get by rapping under the their real names (Kammaal Fareed and Andre Young
respectively), but Rich Terfry?!! Forget it. And Rich knows this. Jerks like me
have probably been telling him this since he first started putting together
words that rhyme back in Mount Uniake, NS—which, it has to be said, couldn't have been easy because what
the hell rhymes with Uniake? Seriously. But he figured it out. And Buck 65 is a good name for a
white Canadian rapper with some Tom Waitsy, out-law country tinged elements
to his style. So forget Rich Terfry. Let the loafer wearing CBC crowd have him.
Who do we want, London Ont? Buck 65. And when do we want him? Saturday night.
Doors at 9pm.19+. Tickets are $20 advance. Kool Krys and local electro-popper
Thesis Sahib open.
