VIDEO: Atmosphere "You" (2nd Retake)

You may recall when I posted a previous version of the Atmosphere video. Well, here's a newer version.

Merry Febuary 19th y'all.

Atmosphere's Second Album Reissued With Bonus DVD

The sophomore long-player from slightly troubled Twin City twosome Atmosphere, 2002's God Loves Ugly, has languished in out-of-print purgatory for a good year now. All that changes January 20, when Rhymesayers issues a remastered, repackaged version of the set on CD and LP, coupled with a copy of what was originally the limited edition Sad Clown Bad Dub 4 (The GodLovesUgly Release Parties) DVD.

The visual portion of the proceedings features more than two hours of performances, backstage footage, the videos for "GodLovesUgly", "Summersong", and "Say Shh", plus some memorable guest appearances. The audio portion packs the same 18 tracks as the original issue, but the aforementioned remaster certainly can't hurt in turning up the anguish.

Before things get Ugly yet again, Atmosphere have a smattering of live dates to attend to, every one in a location far balmier than their upper Midwestern home. They're in the process of plotting a big North American tour in the spring too, but those dates have yet to emerge.

With the flecks of gold enamel still lodged under their fingernails from this spring's still-fresh When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold LP, the dudes of Atmosphere are ready to re-paint the town. In late summer and early fall, they'll embark on the "Paint the Nation" tour of the United States.

Following a run in Europe next month, they'll get back on the road come September and October, hitting quite a few spots they missed on their spring jaunt. They'll be joined on all non-festival dates by Ohio rhymer/producer Blueprint, rapper Abstract Rude, and DJ Rare Groove. And, at all stops, their many tender feelings.
