The days of the week in order of freakiness (most to least):

Tuesday - Thursday - Saturday - Friday - Wednesday - Monday - Sunday

Where’s my Nobel for this elegant observation? The photoelectric effect? More like schmotoelectric schmeffect (I see you Bertie). Tuesday, a humble freak, keeps its nasty to itself, unlike the braggadocious weekend. And Tuesday, I’m not trying to blow your spot up, but I aim to celebrate you with a song that could only be penned in your 24.

Jonny Z woke up early on a Tuesday in 1996, and went for a jog behind a herd of large bike short clad nalgas. Adrift in a midriff induced fugue, he had the dumbest idea for a song. Like all dumb things, it was fun as hell. Latin Swing is a long time favorite of mine and today, on a Tuesday (see!), I found it among a heap of mid-nineties twelves.

A sea wolf is a seal with pronounced canines, snarly lips, and night shimmer peepers. When learning how to swim, don’t ride the sea wolf, don’t even expect the sea wolf for tips on your frog kicks. Homostupids take the lengthy Dio mythological fairy tales and pass them like a hot potato. Did you see the ass on that potato?! + they, Homostupids, sound like they’d be fun to watch live with a ton of dudes. Is that gay angst? Is there any other kind? Honestly?

Homostupids - Sea Wolf

This comes off the most recent Homostupids 7″ Night Deacon E.P. Oh, and remember Factorymen, I think that’s a side project.

I called Emotion in Motion for minutes of assured companionship, they love me, eternally, even if that scares me (the idea of forever or even the idea of kinda long, because those ideas lie on that line of thought that connects me, the happy-go-bucky-ducky-no-fucky nitwit, to the tar pit death headlock thoughts). Then Slammin’ Sam Maxion’s synth lines, proto-zorbing yards in front of the vocals, leave me no choice but to lie face down in a romantic daze. This song still gets some radio play in town but apparently only fetches a fifty cent price tag on the Ave. Here it is for free and really light weight. Take it anywhere you might feel alone (everywhere) and you won’t have to wait for 98.1 to read your mind. Freestyle brings me back to the pwny and will scare off the few guests we’ve retained.

I picked up this record during my past summer in San Francisco and Tom Jones’ song soon became my anthem for the summer. Months later I have finally converted to an mp3 and put it up for your enjoyment.

Tom Jones - Whats New Pussycat

Burt Bacharach - Stripping Isn’t Sexy Is It?

In other news, Diplo released his Free Gucci mixtape, which you can download over at Mad Decent. Killer Mike also has put his album I Pledge Allegiance to the Gride for free download over at Hip Hop DX. Both are well worth checking out.

Somebody’s got to do something about the future. It’s going to be super obvious later.

Circulatory System can’t be framed as young and exciting, but they have knack for a completing full songs and many nice ones appear on their new album. It’s the college radio experience, minus the long winded mic breaks. Take a break from the frontier, and check your friendster to this.

The No Kill I are a Star Trek punk rock band from Sacramento, CA. I don’t think they are still around, but it seems like one of those things that will never die. With songs like Regulan Bloodworm and Starfleet Up My Butt they sound as if Minor Threat was on Lookout! Records, and Lookout! traveled by Starship instead of Pirate Ship.

Furthermore, their website is a treasure trove of photos, stories, history, song lyrics, and more. It is a lot of futuristic fun, and all of their songs are available for listening.

For Friends is back with another strange journey through sound. Loosely based on a dilation of the minds eye when life became too real and a portal to the fourth dimension was established between worlds in a clear patch of forest somewhere down skyline boulevard. Through the thick iridescent mist of this portal one could see a multitude of pure truth. In this truth one can not help but to find the warm comfort of another world and a crisp view of the future itself. Care to gaze through the truth goggles? Here I’ll pass you the image stabilizing binoculars.

Hip-hoppy Halloween. Boo! Rap costume suggestions: Busta Rhymes in the red cheetah suit and body paint, Captain Save-A-Hoe, bejeweled skateboarding Bart Simpson from Gucci Mane’s chain, left half World Class Wrecking Crew right half NWA. Boo!

Gucci Mane’s recent storm of mix tapes (Cold War/Burrprint) mark the crowning of El Niño, flood waters be damned. I’ve only had time to listen to The Burrprint 3-D. Frowney Face and My Shadow are both gems. Here’s Dope Boys for you trick or trick or trick or treaters. It’s penis music for sure.

Factorymen will hustle you man. They’ll pull the 3-song monte in the alley where the donkey Pinocchio smokes backwoods. Which song is it? Are you sure? Sorry. Keep your eyes on it this time.

Was this song played by a traffic jam?

You know when a comedian makes fun of an audience member, and they burn them so bad, worse then anyone would ever imagine ripping? The whoridden, deepest insecurities exposed, laughs louder than anyone in the crowd. Because they paid for it. Well I bought this record and I’m not sure if the joke is on me, but I paid for it, I enjoy it, it is my favorite Joni Mitchell cover yet.

Factorymen - Blank Dream

This is off the 2009 release “Shitman”

In other news. Shyne was released from prison this week and the INS is trying to Slick Rick his ass back to Belize. The man already took a rap for the rap taker (Puff) and served his time. Let him stay, and we might get some more gibberish dub-gurgler rap slammers like this one. (check out how some asses shake so fast that they appear a blur! Them Schrodingers)

interview with him on the next page
