beat box
Say, variety is the spice of life, right?
So it’s about real music this time. It’s about that good ol’ fashioned Philly Sound. Neo-soul, schmeo-soul. Time to give that media-coined term the boot. Welcome to Soul Series, a spanking-new monthly showcase. The inaugural edition boasts former E. Badu backup singer (she was just too damn good to be backing up anyone) N’Dambi, hometown teenybopper songstress Jazmine Sullivan and Acoustic Chocolate, which is Malik Yoba (yes, NY Undercover!) and Jeremy James. There will also be a special BMI awards presentation to Kenny Gamble and Bunny Seigler for their writing credits on the Patty LaBelle classic “Dilemma.” Thu., Oct. 3, 7-11 p.m., $20, The Trocadero, 1003 Arch St., 215-922-LIVE. Or you could slide through CCP for live performances by Journalist, A.D. and funny man Tu Rae. Community College, Bonnell Building, 17th and Spring Garden sts., 215-227-4072.
Sure, it’s not Halloween yet, but want to scare yourself silly with simple-ass lyrics, ready-made beats and bling strong enough to blind Ray Charles? Boo! It’s the Nellyville Tour, featuring Nelly and his wack crew -- the St. Lunatics, the Big Tymers, Lil’ Wayne, Fabolous and Amerie. For God’s sake, Nelly, take that damn Band-aid off your face. Fri., Oct. 4, 7 p.m., $25, $43.50, $48.50, The First Union Center, 3601 S. Broad St., www.electricfactory.com. P.S.: So sorry, Nelly, at least you’re good on the big screen. Snipes is in theaters now. Want something a little cheaper than the road to Nellyville? Strut on down to House Party. Fri., Oct. 4, 10 p.m.-until the cops come knockin’, $5, 908 North 20th St., houseparty908@yahoo.com.
Saturday night means it's time for DJs Lil' Dave, Panek, Statik and Philee Blunt to wreck the ones and twos at the bi-weekly Body Rock. Sat., Oct. 5, 10 p.m.-2 a.m., $5, Aqua Lounge, 323 W. Girard Ave.,

Beat Box seeming a lil’ pissy lately? Well it’s just because it’s becoming increasingly hard to publish these events. Why? Venues, promoters, artists and publicists send incomplete and late info. So, um, stop by Docta Shock’s Urban Music Biz Workshop for “Everything You Need to Know About Marketing and Promotion” and school ya’self. Panelists include: Anita Lewis, Dawn Jones, Victoria Vogt, Robin White and Parry P. Wed., Oct. 9, 6-9 p.m., $5, Inez Too Ballroom, 624 S. 62nd St.,
