Signs Big Smoke was gonna betray Grove Street

Hanging around in CJ’s mom’s house - “You picked the wrong house, fool!” Whoa, come one, don’t you recognize your homie? It’s only been 5 years! More importantly, what are you doing in my moms house, while everyone else is at the funeral…?

Not being shot at by the Ballas - At first, it may seem like bad AI programming, you know, enemy AI only programmed to shoot at you. But, the Ballas also shoot at Sweet on the way back to Grove. So they try to kill you and your brother. But not Smoke and Ryder though… hmmm, suspicious…

Constantly questioning Sweet - Sweet’s got a pretty divisive leadership stance against dealing crack. Even in the “Introduction” video exclusive to the PC version, Smoke is shown questioning Sweet’s leadership, while also trying to convince him to get Grove Street into the crack business. While Sweet argues that Grove has principles, Smoke argues that their principles are the reason Grove is losing their footing.

“Drive-Thru” - Literally the entire mission. The opening cutscene shows Smoke getting into yet another argument with Sweet, but before the argument gets heated, Smoke quickly changes the subject to food, suggesting they all get some Cluckin’ Bell, the GTA Universe’s version of KFC. On the way there, Smoke keeps changing the subject when Ryder says exactly how Sweet and CJ’s mom got killed. Oh and who can forget his infamous order? There’s actually a theory that suggests he ordered all that food to buy the Ballas some time, which might as well be true. While Sweet and Ryder are shooting at the Ballas’ car, Smoke refuses to participate in the drive-by, cause he’s too busy stuffing his big fat fucking face. Oh and the last thing you gotta do after dropping off Sweet and Ryder is to take Smoke to his his house, since he’s moved out of Grove Street and into Idlewood, which is Ballas territory…

His entire mission thread - While Ryder’s the other traitor in the game (although he’s literally never mentioned), at least his missions actually helped Grove Street, further hinting the possibility that he originally wasn’t mean to betray you. Smoke’s missions, however, involve picking up the unlikable OG Loc from prison, harassing a Vagos gang member, intercepting a meeting between the Vagos and the San Fierro Rifa, and a deal with the Russian Mob that goes south. Not to mention the presence of C.R.A.S.H. in half the mission cutscenes. Some cut dialogue involved CJ asking Smoke what Tenpenny was even doing at Smoke’s house, to which Smoke would just feign ignorance, making his inevitable betrayal even more obvious.

Abandoning Sweet and CJ along with Ryder to deal with SWAT units at the Jefferson Motel - This could probably be dismissed as a “fight or flight” reaction, especially when Ryder says it’s “every motherfucker for himself!” And of course, they do come back around after Sweet and CJ escape the shootout. This could probably be because Smoke knew that Sweet would be on to him if he didn’t come back to save him, like how Brian saved Dom in The Fast and the Furious. Why the cops intercepted the Families meeting to reunite might be an anonymous tip-off from Smoke, claiming that there must be some drug dealing going on in that motel, cause if the Families reunited, that would weaken the Ballas, which would ruin his crack empire. Of course one mission later, his betrayal is finally played out!

His initials - BS = bullshit!

His license plate - A2TMFK = a two-timing motherfucker!

Being too nice to CJ - Trust me, I’ve worked in retail long enough to realize that when someone is being too friendly with you, they’re putting on an act, when in reality, they’re probably trying to scam you or steal some shit. The instant CJ returns to Los Santos, who’s the only one that seems pleased that he’s back? Sweet initially resented CJ for abandoning his family after the death of their youngest brother Brian, which Sweet holds CJ responsible for. And Ryder is the same way, but seems to have more contempt for CJ earning back Sweet’s favor after being gone for 5 years. Plus Ryder’s just an asshole! But Smoke has said nothing but nice things to CJ upon returning to Los Santos, and hasn’t given him any shit for abandoning his homies…

Prairiewolf - Lagniappe Session

We checked out an I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One-era Yo La Tengo tape yesterday ... today, we've got Prairiewolf covering an ICHTHBAO classic. Jeremy, Stefan and I made our Lagniappe Session debut over on Aquarium Drunkard this week with our take on YLT's luminous/lovely "Green Arrow" alongside an extended/extremely heady rendition of the unclassifiable Eddie Harris/Melvin Jackson jam "Silver Cycles." Huzzah for gratis grooves! Thank you to AD for asking us to be a part of the Lagniappe legacy. An honor and a privilege.

What else!? Prairiewolf is playing a show THIS FRIDAY down in Denver at Enigma Bazaar. It's a stacked bill, featuring the mighty Moon Bros. and The International Disassociation of Aaron Dooley. You don't want to miss it. Afterwards, Aaron is taking his crew out on the road for an honest-to-goodness tour, going all over the place. Check out the dates and go see him!

More???! How about Of Ambience and Americana, a killer Centripetal Force collection that just showed up this week, offering up some very sweet "ambient Americana" zones. Prairiewolf's "Lunar Deluxe" makes an appearance — and I'd be lying if I didn't swell up with pride seeing our name listed amongst so many greats: Nashville Ambient Ensemble, Eve Maret, Joseph Allred and more. Go get it!

ONE MORE THING. Golden Brown's Wide Ranging Rider is out NOW on Inner Islands — and I implore you to grab your copy. The more I listen, the more I'm convinced that it's Stefan's best work yet, stripping things back considerably, but still finding an expansive, magical vibe. A raspberry cloud to float away on ...

Ain’t Too Proud- a musical review by Lauren Avila

Get Ready cause here they come! The Temptations have made a mesmerizing return to the stage in the national tour of “Ain’t Too Proud- The Life and Times of the Temptations.” With smooth moves, classy costumes, and voices to bring the house down this show is the one to see when it comes to your area. I was grinning from ear to ear and dancing in my seat the whole time. The show immediately opens with one of The Temptations’ well known songs and it takes off like a Rollin’ Stone after that. This production follows a very similar pattern to another Des McAnuff jukebox musical, Jersey Boys. Obviously, if something works well it would be foolish not to use that magic over and over. The sets are minimal but with modern upgrades in theater design, screens and a creative use of floor movement really get the job done. This wouldn’t be a show about the famous five member group without those beautiful matching costumes. The only thing better than a snazzy dresser is one that can move! I will admit that I found myself blushing a few times watching these fellas. The dancing is brilliantly choreographed by Tony Award-winning choreographer, Sergio Trujillo (very nice and talented man). I’ll tell you though, it was the showmanship that really got me: sliding across the stage, playing with the mic stand, throwing the microphone at least 6ft in the air, etc…. A girl can’t help but swoon! To achieve that Temptations sound is rough [insert dad joke about David Ruffin here] but these gentlemen sang from their souls! It was some of the very best singing I’ve heard live. The performance I saw starred Marcus Paul James as Otis, James T. Lane as Paul, Harrell Holmes Jr. as Melvin, Jalen Harris as Eddie, and Elijah Ahmad Lewis as David. I was also lucky enough to catch the highly talented Treston J. Henderson understudying as Al. With hit after hit, this show flies by faster than you can say “temp is for temporary.” You will laugh, you will cry, you will sing along, and you’ll have an unforgettable night at the theater. Go watch “Ain’t Too Proud” when it comes to a city near you! Check here for tickets!
