Chip Hop and Nerdcore / Managing Your Own Website / Left Bank Books

01/02/2007

Who says hip hop music needs to glorify guns and money and violence? Why can't it be about computer programmers creating airtight code and impenetrable firewall software? A new generation of artists is creating hip hop from a nerd point of view. This week, we meet one of the giants of the field: MC Plus+ (if you get the reference in his name, you'll love his music). Plus, if your resolutions included finally building and running that web site you've always talked about, we'll tell you how to get started. And, we pay a visit to a bookstore without an owner or even a manager. Left Bank Books in the Pike Place Market is run as an anarchist collective. How are they able to combine anarchy and an effective filing system?
