Thanks to Alexei, Stephen and the Varsity for being cool with taping. Thanks also go out to DK for the TLs fun.

A few different elements came together to make this a special evening. It was the first time as far as I know that KTV played a set along with a screening of the Midnight Pine film. The Midnight Pine EP is the soundtrack to the film. It was also the first time I've seen this combination of songs from all 3 of the releases played in the same set. Most important of all, to me at least is the fact that it was the first KTV show with Nomi in over a year. I actually can't remember when the last show with all 4 members took place but Advizer is in Chicago working on his masters and Nomi is living out in San Francisco recording as Power Struggle (www.myspace.com/powerstruggle). Roma di Luna and Digitata opened the festivities.

Since this is the first KTV tape I'm releasing a bit of background information is in order. Those familiar with Minneapolis/St. Paul hip hop may already have the details...

"Trying to make a living with music certainly isn't the oddest job around. But making music rarely provides you with a steady income. That's why musicians are prone to have odd jobs, second jobs that allow them to pursue their music career. The younger ones might additionally strive for some higher education. It's this everyday life enviroment that brings forth a group like Oddjobs. Emerging in 1996 out of the Minnesota-based Cases of Mistaken Identity crew, the group featured Minneapolis MC's Advizer and Crescent Moon and St. Paul DJ's Anatomy and Deetalx. Also coming out of the CMI camp, rapper Nomi completed the Oddjobs line-up a few years later. As they became part of the Minneapolis scene governed by the Rhymesayers crew (Eyedea & Abilities, Atmosphere), Oddjobs released their first full-length in 1999, titled "Conflict and Compromise". The group broke up in 2005, but reformed (minus DJ Deetalx) as Kill the Vultures."
