This is Mort Dork signing in from Philly, somewhere out there, beyond the high-rises and the factory smoke. I attended Taliesin's album release party on the 27th, incognito -- i was hiding in the wall paneling at Murphy's and i can tell you that the show was all that and a bag of walnuts.... many people danced the night away and held hands at the end of the night. also, since the release and listening to Tal's album over and over again, i can say that it has staying power and i would even be able to play it for my grandmother who loves all music because it tells a story -- the story of one rapper rhyming about his life and...well, thats what its about...Right!!!!
Anyway, i have been asking people in the city about Tal's album and because i was on a budget i could only do one interview, which i did with North Philly native Erma, who said that the last album she like'd as much as the Rebirth of Leonidas was "Frank Sinatra's album...pick one."
I also caught up with Taliesin who said he has a new video in the works, and also some new music but it was on the hush hush. He also said he wanted to thank everyone who came out to celebrate his CD release, and give a big shout to those who played in his band and contributed to a great evening...Cruzie Cruz, Casket Crew, Daniel Wright, Matt Fischer, Wes Werner, Brian Mazzarini and Nefew...Also a special shout to Dj Xklusive and Dj Dro, Matt Gummel and Jeff Denshock...
Those were his words, these are mine...and the theme here is 'buy Taliesin's album' "The Rebirth of Leonidas" now on Itunes because he has a way with words...word.
This is Mort, this is life, this is me...
Goodbye and peace out
