One of the Four horseman of the Apocolypse Arrive: Shwayze

18Aug08

Shwayze_Cisco
We are all for Hip-Pop, and novelty rap.Hell I myself worked as the tour manager for a major label novelty rap act in the late 90’s. We can even will back you up if the song get’s your girlfriend to make out with her friend while you take pictures. Tonight at the Giantstep event at Steve Madden Shwayze brought the diminishing returns factor up to a new high( or low ). There is nothing to hang on to in Shwayze’s music, but very superficial hooks and whack metaphors. However if the goal is to drink beers on roof tops with pretty girls, these guy’s will corner the market on that.

Shwayze’s self titled album is out Today 8.19.08 on Geffen records. Buy it. Buy many copies of it and play it at every last BBQ you go to for the rest of the summer. After that let’s all agree, to never play it again.

Hold Steady Speaks up: “Radiohead have lost the plot”

18Aug08

We have to agree with Tad on this one. The Hold Steady Guitarist told BBC 6 Music that “I think they’ve lost the plot,” he said. “What are they doing? Where are they going? What’s happening? I don’t get it any more. They lost me. And we have to agree a little bit. We saw Radiohead twice in 2004 when they brought their rock to the Hollywood bowl and Coachella. Now it seems fans of In Rainbows are basically fans of Radiohead of yesteryear. Like “remember… OK Computer? Yeah , that shit was banging”, “How’s the new record In Rainbows” “I don’t know but I hope they play ‘Exit Music’ tonight” And that’s cool man… that’s cool. It’s nostalgic the way Pearl Jam fans were really into them in Junior High school but still go to every show in hope to hear “Jeremy”….Not gonna happen. Or when people say Atlas Shrugged “changed my life”but if you asked same person what the book was about they will stare at their shoes for a while until you get them to admit that they never finished it.

Did you finish “In Rainbows”? We didn’t.

“Little Bit” Loving Hand Remix

Tim Goldsworthy from DFA blessed this remix of Little Bit under the Loving Hand moniker. The trumpet solo towards the end gives it a very “The The ” feel circa “Infected”. Not a bad direction to go in. Lykke Li’s travels bring her to Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles 8.25.08 and New York at La Poisson Rouge on 8.28.08.

Her full length lp Youth Novels drops August 19th.

Puppets are our role models

12Aug08

Kanye West “Champion Video” Official Directed by NEON from nabil elderkin on Vimeo.

Some puppets do rails and give head, Some puppets give us something to strive to. To be a Champion. Foam-Kanye shows us in this Steely Dan sample heavy track, you can work really hard, remain focused, reach for the stars still be yourself. Albeit a version of yourself with someones hand shoved up your arse.

I have always suspected that puppets behave this way when I’m not looking.

Keeping Busta Busy

22Jul08

Blessed Album Art
Has anybody else noticed how busy Busta Rhymes has been trying to remain culturally relevant? As I was doing research for another project I came across this. I did’nt make it all the way through the video because frankly Linkin Park’s high school angst inspired piano parts give me the creeps.
