Each Sunday, Pitchfork takes an in-depth look at a significant album from the past, and any record not in our archives is eligible. Today, we revisit the 2003 debut by the North Carolina rap trio, a ridiculously hard throwback album that plugged hip-hop’s golden era into the internet age.
One of the great good-doings of recent months is coming to an end on Aug. 3.
Tuesday Tunes for Feeding Southwest Virginia, a livestreamed concert that served as a mini-telethon of sorts, and a response to COVID-19, will âcast its last on that day.
The 15-minute event will stretch to 90 minutes in a concert that you can see at Third Street Coffeehouseâs Facebook page, bit.ly/thirdstreetFB. Greg Trafidlo & Friends will headline.
The goal when the series started in May 2020 was simply to see how such an event might help Feeding Southwest Virginia, which has been in the hunger game for 40 years. But Third Street Coffeehouse organizer Bob Schmucker, who spearheaded the campaign, eventually saw that a goal of $20,000 was realistic. Thatâs enough to provide 100,000 meals. Schmucker said Thursday that the series was about $200 from reaching that figure.
