UK-based Russell Porter chronicles alt music culture in the Porter Report with aggressive wit and offbeat charm.

Today, part one of his exclusive interview for Boing Boing tv with the rap / IDM / hiphop / house / genre-bending artist Cadence Weapon, aka Rollie Pemberton, who hails from Edmonton, Canada.

Cadence Weapon, who is 22 years old, is touring Europe and US throughout the summer. Dates are listed -- where else? -- on his MySpace, along with various blinky things. His newest record Afterparty Babies was just released on Epitaph, and is, as the kids say, fierce.

Update: Russell Porter episodes featured on Boing Boing tv get a nod in Rolling Stone. Journamalists: Do not make fun of his hat, it is awesome.

concerning Edmonton and stabbing, it's wild. I've worked in the bush and wound up in Edmonton on occasion. Canada Day is the nuttiest. they had a stabfest one year on Canada Day and put up cctv after that. I think it is the mix of bad drugs, cheap booze, too much money and lonely men.
