Music news Outtakes: What rhymes with alopecia?

Indonesia?
Bad amnesia?
Halloween ya?
Just imagine Atmosphere rhymesayer MC Slug's dilemma:
“In ’05, I developed alopecia and started losing my hair. I had to come to grips with the fact that I can’t base my art and my career around my appearance,” says Sean Daley, aka MC Slug. “I mean that metaphorically as well. I cannot base it on an image. I have to figure out a way to ensure they stop staring at the image, and start paying attention to the words and the beats.”
Listen to When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold to hear the results. Read the full story by Chris Parker in the October 1 issue of Creative Loafing.
Atmosphere's Paint the Nation Tour stops in Atlanta in two weeks w/Abstract Rude, BluePrint, and DJ Rare Groove. $18. 8 p.m. Mon., Oct. 6. Masquerade, 695 North Ave. 404-577-8178. www.masq.com.
