Chin Chin and Cage both have east coast dates on December 12th, and both are worth checking out!! (Chin Chin Here, Cage Here)

Aesop Rock has gotten some more glowing press for his guest spots on the new DJ Signify album 'Of Cities' - XLR8R has the story. The Mighty Underdogs also got some love on their video for 'I want you Back'- So Much Silence has the story.

Yak Ballz wants to show you some live footage from "Coffee Break For Heroes and Villains" Radio show on WFMU 91.1:

Phew, hope that helped you all work off some of your turkey stupor, more tomorrow.

Lots of ground to cover today people...

First off, Rob Sonic and Aesop Rock have returned home safely to their respective homes to work on the next big things. Both guys wrote messages to their fans upon finishing the tour; Aesop would like to thank you for coming out and Rob writes an ode to Aesop's couch.

Speaking of the dynamic duo, Rob Sonic he has a big show tomorrow at Southpaw in Brooklyn and if you know whats good for you, you'll head over there and catch DJ Muggs, Planet Asia, Rob himself, and Bisc 1 - 12 dollars is a whole lot less than 700 Billion. And both Aesop Rock and Rob Sonic can be seen on tomorrow's episode of The Daily Habit on Fuel TV, airing first at 9 PM ET with repeats throughout the evening. (Click Here for more details)

If you didn't catch today's Mighty update on The Mighty Underdogs we recommend that you do that. But, to summarize;

The Underdogs are currently down under touring with Blackalicious and will be next seen on Oct. 3rd in North Hobart. Furthermore, tomorrow will see the MTVu premiere of The Underdogs video for 'Want You Back' (more on that to come) and AOL Spinner's MP3 of the day is featuring the latest from Droppin Science Fiction, 'Atomic Dog'.

Cage Kennylz has a new date posted for you all, he will be playing later this month at San Fransisco's Club 6 in celebration of, fellow Cardboard City member, Alex Pardee's clothing line launch. The evening will also boast a collecitve art show and performances by various artists.

Cheer up people, personal economic recovery simply requires a hearty safe, a shovel and a discreet location...

So Bend Oregon get ready for this, cop your tickets, and shake out the back to school blues, Aesop, Rob Sonic, and Yak Ballz are coming to town..

Also in the news, Del Tha Funkee was back on the west coast this weekend and will be popping up in Texas for three dates later this week... check it out.

The Mighty Underdogs, Rob Sonic, Junk Science and Chin Chin all have new dates posted and coming up, catch up on that...

And finally if you haven't seen the Cage behind the scenes footage from El-P's studio we think you might find it very educational.

We would love to see you all get your public polling on (thanks to El-P on this one) against a woman who thinks THIS is ok...

Del Tha Funkee has a date coming up on Saturday of this week, and though the weekend may seem far off, its never to early to get your tickets. The same logic goes for the new DJX fall hotness, take a peak...

Impending economic disaster!!

But if you have a break between building your bomb shelter and collecting duct tape/non perishables ....

Check out the awesome Aesop Rock - Rob Sonic - DJ Big Wiz interview with Erin Broadley of The LA Times, its sure to enrich your mind although perhaps not your bank account. And while you're at it, Erin not only interviewed Aesop and co., but took an awesome series of backstage photos at the sunday Troubador show as compiled in this slideshow. Enjoy.

Cop your Aesop Tickets and get ready for some September Del Dates.
