Yes, Kool Keith is going on tour as Dr. Dooom starting February 17. Yes, he is starting his own lingerie company called KK Fashion. Yes, he is starting his own pornographic film company called KK Film. Yes, he is featured on a track off the new N.A.S.A. record, Spirit of Apollo, with Tom Waits. And yes, according to the track “That Girl is a Monster” off Keith’s latest album Dr. Dooom 2, quoth the doctor, “When I urinate, you listen.”

Sorry to write so bluntly, but I had to lay it down plain so you knew I wasn’t lying. And I wasn’t. But you know what, I bet you still weren’t at all surprised. Had it been Sufjan Stevens’ name in that headline, then yeah, it would have been surprising. But not Kool Keith. HipHopDX could break a story about Keith boning Roseanne on the altar of Artemis in the lost city of Atlantis and not a single eyelash would fall from my brow due to disbelieving blinks. My own mother could break down my door and frantically tell me how Kool Keith just beat Dan the Automator to death with a petrified otter tail and scarcely a trickle of Capri Sun would burst forth from my delicate lips. Kool Keith is a mind unchained, and I will never be shocked at anything he does until a genuine, honest-to-God spaceship is involved. Barring that, I will simply be delighted by every glorious curveball Kool Keith throws at the public.

Not much more needs to be said, except that Kool Keith’s sudden love for pornographic fashion comes from his distaste for the current state of smut apparel, and the porno(s) KK Films produces will feature a soundtrack by Keith himself comprised of unreleased material. Also, if any of ya’ll are interested in a role in one of Keith’s films, contact him at this here address. He’s currently looking for “upcoming, ethnic talent” to “take [pornography] to another level.” So if you wanna be filmed having sex in front of/with Kool Keith, this is your opportunity. Don’t waste it.

Being the biggest electronica duo in the world does have its perks -- in this case, teaming up with major soft drink companies to design a new bottle, for example. Thankfully, Justice totally prefers Coke to Pepsi, and so does So Me, the designer who helped them out (and also the same guy that designs Ed Banger Records cover art and directed Justice’s “D.A.N.C.E.” and Kanye West’s “Good Life” videos).

Unfortunately, Justice’s new Coke design is only available for sale in European dance clubs and the unveiling of the new bottle already happened last week at the VIP Room in Paris. Bummer! But if you still want to get in on all of this action, here is a list of other musicians who have decided to jump on the $oda-pop bandwagon:

- Crystal Castles are trying to revive Crystal Pepsi.
- Juggalo’s unite! Insane Clown Posse is still shilling for Faygo.
- Limp Bizkit’s reunion tour is going to be sponsored by EXTREME Mountain EXTREME Dew EXTREME BRO!
- Guns N' Roses are giving away free Dr. Pep—oh, shit, nevermind.
