MF DOOM Releasing Live LP, 'Expektoration,' This Fall
I have to hand it to MF DOOM. He's got some fortitude. I'm looking past the fact that he already released a live album back in 2005, mostly because that record, Live From Planet X, obviously could not feature his more recent material. But what's damning here is that he has caused quite a stir over the past few years with his infamous no-shows, which have featured what are being labeled as "DOOMposters."
The masked villain and Gold Dust are looking past the controversy, though, to bring forth his second live album, Expektoration. And its split into two acts from DOOM's show in New York City on Sept. 14, 2009. For the first act, he draws primarily from 2004's MM..FOOD and Madvillainy, the latter being is widely and wildly lauded collaborative album with Madlib. And following an intermission heavily based on Star Trek, DOOM plows through a selection of tracks from his 1999 debut, Operation: Doomsday, along with 2003 Viktor Vaughn single "Change the Beat" and King Geedorah favorite "The Fine Print."
While I would like to see more tracks from Born Like This and the two Viktor Vaughn projects, this looks like a solid live compilation. I just hope that those of you who purchase Expektoration get an actual CD and not some disc-shaped piece of plastic that looks like the real thing but doesn't actually work. Sorry, DOOM, but you had that one coming.
Expektoration is due out this fall.

"Change The Beat" is a Vik Vaughn track, NOT a King Geedorah track.

My bad, I posted the same track title twice by accident. Changing this now.
This is a joke. It has to be. I'm boycotting this. I will pirate it...if it really does come out.
No Snakes Alive is not a Geedorah track either. Who cares, a solid album never the less. Favorite track: I Wonder

I didn't even list "No Snakes Alive." Are you referring to "The Fine Print," which is absolutely a Geedorah track and the last song on Take Me To Your Leader?
