Lisa Crystal Carver/Roller Derby/Suck Dog

Roller Derby was one of my favourite zine's growing up. A bit intense for a 15 year old, but i was drawn into Lisa's world. I used to wish I could see her performance art group Suck Dog. A bit intense I know. Lisa is an intense survivor of intense. Read Drugs Are Nice and go figure. I was re-skimming through the Roller Derby anthology tonight, and it is still intense, even for a 30 year old.

My Wedding Song

Honey, I love you already. Now let's get married. And, this is my wedding song. You can have your own, and maybe we can mix our two songs together, but not mash them, mix them, and then eat cake.
I love you honey. Come to me now.

And I'm sorry honey, that this is a picture of a bat, so just close your eyes, and imagine us together forever now...1,2,3,4.
I love you baby. Whoever you are.

Remember John Fitzgerald "Jack" Kennedy (May 29, 1917 – November 22, 1963)

I think all rhetoric and hypothetical thinking may stem from this incident. What would the world be like if things grew organically, without assassinations, if the people actually got to support and praise, and if speech were free, without price tags on heads.
Just saying, remember.

Warpaint-Undertow

This song feels like I'm playing a tennis, and this is the person on my receiving end's anthem.
It's really beautiful.

Diamond, “Shots Fired” MP3 + Getting Your Car Repo’d then Returned

I triangle DIAMOND (relatively speaking, triangles are the hearts, like diamonds are love)
One of the princesses of crunk rapping over Lauren and Eminem- nice appropriation of princesses-ness, I mean Diamond.
I think Diamond is hot. And Princess too. Crime Mobess

Introducing OFWGKTA: Earl

Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All are a 10-deep hip-hop collective. All of them are under 18. They are artists/producers/rappers/video makers etc.
Their stuff is dark, they spit psychosis. Deranged flows. Mean mouths.
They do everything themselves in a bleak, cold way.
I hope they support each other emotionally cz these kids have weird things going on in their minds.
Meet Earl. This rhyme is siiiiiick, in a bevy of ways, all mashed into a blender and spat out to twist your brain.
They embody the internet generation in so many ways.
I'll post more about the others in a tick.
CRAZY

There is something so good about this...

Melody... this everything!
Relating, and rhyming an open door with an open sore.
Swedish pop chanteuse Jenny Wilson- Like A Fading Rainbow

HUNGRY FOR THE POWER

Azari&iii. HELLOOOOO.
Some of my favourite production out there at the moment.
The E.P is great, full of current nostalgia. Perfectly paced B.P.M's and sounds to match.
Peep the video below....DARK, but balances the light cloudy chords. And I love the demon voice vs the classic house phrase sing song.
I think this could be yin-yang music.

JEAN GENET

Possibly my favourite writer of all time
Reading 'The Lady of The Flowers' at the moment. 'The Thiefs Journal' is a must read. There is none other than him.

(from chant d'amour)

ALL ABOARD THE K.L.F TRIP

Ok, I banned myself from buying music on ebay a few years ago. Those rare MALARIA! 12's and albums were setting me back some gelt. Not to mention the super pricey, rare French Legions Black Metal was painting corpse paint all over my wallet.
Today, however, I splurged out on some rare K.L.F records and 12". This stuff is hard to get now. I just had to. It's justified (and ancient!!)
These guys are total trippers, their philosophy is awesome (I will write a rant on it some time soon) and their music is pure energy.
Wherever Trancentral is, I wanna go there, NOW
Oh and if anyone knows where to get a copy of their Ambient record, please let me know. It's bliss and it saved my life once (another rant, for another time)

Rusko feat. Amber Coffman "Hold On"

I really like the Rusko album that came out earlier this year.
This is my favourite track off the album: HOLD ON f/ Amber Coffman from Dirty Projectors.
This collaboration works really well
Check the album, it's called O.M.G

VINTAGE ALBUM OF THE WEEK= REDD KROSS 'BORN INNOCENT'

Been lamenting on this big time. Such a great album. Brash and bratty.
From 1982, this is the band's best bashing for sure. Full of pop culture obsessions, and covers Charles Manson's "Cease to Exist".

BURN OUT

Katy B. & Benga

Such great stuff coming out of the U.K at the moment. This track is an indication of that.
Catchy with big bass. Winning combination!

POLVO- THERMAL TREASURE

Sorry, don't know how to post songs without going to youtube.

But this album really smashed my being. It was the first record, meaning literal piece of wax, that I ruined. I took it away with me, on a family vacation, and it melted in the sun. Meaning I NEGLECTED IT. And now I'm in therapy and miserable.

Own this album or be sad. Simple.

SUPERBALL

Just sitting at home listening to the remaining winter rain drops fall and voila! I think of Helium, the band, not the element.
DIRT OF LUCK. Perhaps, could, might be my best 90's album, when refined to "covers dominated in blue." Hand in hand with Nevermind, of coarse.
Ash Bowie (POLVO...see above) produced.
I played the Kill Rock Stars SXSW showcase a few years ago, with Mary Timony and I was all shook up.
She really made something special here. Really.
