Def Jukie Mr. Lif begins a North American tour alone tonight in Calgary. That's gotta be lonely. Fortunately, three days later, the Coup will join him for most dates before two straggling shows in February. Also joining them for a show apiece: Common Market, and, um, Matisyahu.

According to the Coup's MySpace page, MC Boots Riley is currently working on an album with Rage Against the Machine/Audioslave guitarist Tom Morello. The project is called Street Sweeper.
