As promised in this week's And Another Thing, here's the Astronautalis freestyle recorded over the phone on Tuesday morning. After you have a laugh at the fact that I actually beatboxed on this recording, consider how hard it has to be to come up with a freestyle rap off the top of your head, let alone doing so while walking in the middle of a public street on the way home from a post office. If this MP3 doesn't convince you to see one of his three local gigs this weekend (with a live band, no less), well, nothing will. —Sam Machkovech
