Yo brother…where have you been???
I want to connect with you…
DeeBee Ital feat MC Robotman…
we can be like Kanye West and Daft Punk…hahahha
Get back to me mang…
Last year, I had this great idea to be a robotic MC and make hip hop music. I did one full track, a few beats, and got a hold of the perfect voice synthesizer software. I even made a MySpace account, made up a backstory, and started collecting friends for “collaborations”. Then my free time disappeared and “robot MC” wasn’t a big priority anymore.
But, I still got fan mail from an Ontario MC named DeeBee Ital; I think I replied as a robot. I thought it was absolutely hilarious and assumed he was in on the joke. Anyway, I logged in today for the first time in about a year and he’d written the above comment. I think he’s serious.

Things I really want to buy, but probably won’t:
Crescent St. in Montréal. It really gets going at the two minute mark.
rob mclennan is nominated for this year’s 2008 Poet Laureate of the Blogosphere award; I strongly suggest you vote for him. If you haven’t read his work, there is a wealth of content on his website. Aside from his poetry, I can’t think of another individual Canadian who does so much to help promote his peers. The 12 or 20 interviews are a personal favourite.

Via Boing Boing Gadgets.
If I come across one of these in real-life, you can bet it’s ending up in my “awesome things I never use” drawer.
