Videos / Opinion / News UStreamin' with J. Cole
Posted By Mike McCray on Tue, Jul 28, 2009 at 2:36 PM
Why do Soulja Boy, Trey Songz and Tila Tequila have to be the only ones who can have their fans sit and stare at them do relatively mundane things online in the middle of night?
J. Cole, a Fayetteville, N.C., native and first Roc Nation signee, reached out to his small but loyal force of fans at 2 a.m. on July 23, answering questions, telling stories, playing new and old tracks and even jumping in the booth to record a new song while UStream-ing live online from a studio on the West Coast.
UStream is the live interactive video broadcast platform that lets anyone with a camera and an Internet connection to quickly and easily broadcast to a global audience of unlimited size.
While swigging on a Heineken like it was a 40-ounce, Cole managed to keep 160-odd registered users (and reported 700+ guests) entertained for about 90 minutes. In between, hundreds of "I got beats," "where do I send beats?" comments and a seemingly endless stream of university, hometown and homeboy shout outs viewers kept posting, he actually managed to find some good questions buried in between.

Going to the Jason Mraz concert at the recently opened Uptown Ampitheatre tonight? Well, if so, before you slide over to Mr.-A-to-Z's show, stop by the newly opened nightclub Halo (right next door to the ampitheatre) for a free pre-party.
The party is sponsored by us at Creative Loafing and the folks at Halo; we'll be rolling out the red carpet at 5:30 p.m., treating Mraz fans to free food, drink specials, music, door prizes and more — all in the comfy confines of one of the city's coolest clubs.
Like I said, the event is free. So come on over and hang with us!

Live Reviews / News Gov’t Mule did not kick my ass
Posted By Jodus Maximus on Sat, Jul 25, 2009 at 11:05 AM
You wanna know why? Because I did not get to see the damn show! This would’ve been my first time seeing Warren Haynes and the boys. My ignorance convinced me to “just wait” and buy the ticket before the show. I ASS-umed it would not be a sellout.
So I fired up the bike and rode over to the Fillmore. As I turned the corner off of Seaboard Street, there was a freakin’ line that snaked from the box office almost to the bridge crossing 277. With that many people, I thought it must be a line for government assistance, not Government Mule! So I parked the steel horse to go stand in the box office line. Folks were chattering about the possible release of new tickets. I realized this was not a good thing … sure enough, the show was a sell-out.
I stood in line for about 45 minutes watching the dedicated fans and (to my surprise) several yuppies. Finally there was activity at the ticket window. Suddenly a bald dude (with a beard Erik the Red would have been proud of) lets out a yell that could have signaled the start of a Scottish clan battle. It was obvious he was able to get a ticket. The line started to slowly move forward. When I stepped up to the window, the attendant placed a white piece of paper on the window, “THIS SHOW IS SOLD OUT.”
I was torn. Pissed for not getting in to see the show, but happy to see the demand for Gov’t Mule at the Fillmore.
Next time I’ll be sure to get my tickets in advance.

Live review: Fiona Apple, The Fillmore (9/26/2012) 16
Fans ate it up, but it was a trainwreck of tragic and frustrating proportions.
