Remember a while back when I mentioned that we here at Uncensored Interview had some surprises coming out of SXSW for you guys? Betcha thought I was pulling the proverbial wool over your eyes, much like I do to young women at bars (though there’s nothing proverbial about that, I literally PULL pieces of freshly-shorn WOOL over a girl’s eyes before taking her back to my secret lab).
Well for once, I wasn’t full of shit – starting today and continuing every Monday throughout April, Wes Verhoeve, who is not only a well respected hip hop blogger, but also a part owner of Family Records, not to mention a sometimes-contributor to Brooklyn Vegan sits down with UI to shoot the shit on everything from what indie means to him, to the state of the music scene in Brooklyn, to how one blogger named The Shark and his unique, humorous blogs are quickly winning over the hearts and minds of people the world over. Ok, I lied about that last one, but as Alexander Hamilton once said
“It’s perfectly alright for a man to dream his wildest dreams. Now put me on the 10 dollar bill.”

Anyway, we’ve dubbed this little collaboration Mondays With Wes. Clever, huh? Sort of like Tuesdays With Morrie, only not boring as all fuck. But all kidding aside, we’re really fucking psyched to be working with someone as respected and well known in the blogging community as Wes. In honor of this momentous occasion, I’m going to share with you TWO clips on this inaugural Monday With Wes.
First up, and most appropriately, Wes defines Indie:
And now your bonus clip (and possibly my favorite of the entire batch), Wes The Seer peeks into his crystal ball and sees the future of music:
