Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
In this week's column space, I geeked out about some of the projects that very-busy local producer Picnic is about to drop in the upcoming weeks and months.
And for good reason, too: Guy's just got a lot going on, between working with Kid Cudi, The Cannabinoids (who'll be touring with Erykah Badu and Mos Def on the west coast in September), Diabolical Fancy, Amanda Diva, Johnny Polygon, and, perhaps most exciting to us in the office, his collaboration with Astronautalis called Max Moon.
We'd been hearing about those two's collaboration for some time now, but it was only a couple of weeks back now where, according to Picnic, we heard a song that's "pretty indicative of the stuff [they'll] be doing together," via the Official Kixpo 2009 Mixtape. The song, called "Urban Outfitters," has, along with the rest of the tape, been available as a free download since it was first posted on July 24, but since we've been jamming it pretty constantly around the office since we first heard it, we wanted to make sure we highlighted it again for you.
After the jump, take one more listen. And, yes, download away. Not because we told you to, though. Trust us, you'll dig this collaboration.

Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
