It's come up to that thesis hand in/revision/exam time of the year, everyone's stressed and talking about work, and even the weather becomes bi-polar. Every effort to try to get into a routine fails. In the end bed just seems so much more practical and exams will sort themselves out, right? So I've made a playlist of songs to get you psyched in the morning. Monday: Hudson Mohawke - FUSE [...]
Drunk Drivers Against Mad Mothers Drunk Drivers Against Mad Mothers 2011 Logan Lindsey, drums, Justin Houston, guitar, Ryan Pendleton, bass, vocals John Fletcher, guitar on Confinskated 1. Confinsk8ed 2. Forming (Germs cover) 3. Getting Your Grandma Off 4. Tired of It I met bassist/vocalist Ryan Pendleton through my appearance on the Stig Stench radio show. He was listening and, I believe, on the chat. He sent me a friend request a bit later. We get to talking, he is a skater [...]
Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire featuring Despot, Das Racist, Danny Brown and El-P "Huzzah! (Remix)" My favorite rap tracks are usually posse cuts: a steady, repetitive beat and a series of verses, preferably with no chorus. The instrumental for "Huzzah" isn't totally static – there's a few flourishes to accentuate particular lines – but it's not really the draw here. The dynamics are all in the vocal performances, and the contrast of very different rhyme styles. Despot and Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire bookend the piece with aggressive, rough rhymes, while the Das Racist guys are, respectively, laconic and charmingly [...]
' Hannah Montana ' star Mitchel Musso was arrested for drunk driving yesterday in Burbank, California. According to law enforcement, Musso was pulled over at 3:45 AM Sunday after he failed to slow down while police officers were directing traffic due to an unrelated accident. When cops pulled over Musso's 2007 black Mercedes Benz a strong odor of alcohol detected. The actor, who also stars on Disney 's ' Pair of Kings ' and ' PrankStars ,' failed a sobriety test and blew well above .08 when [...]
Some say ignorance is bliss, but ignorance can also make you appear prejudiced, uninformed, and just plain stupid. Unfortunately, ignorance can, at times, run rampant in American society, and there are few recent events that illustrate this more clearly than the death of Jackass-star Ryan Dunn. The deaths of him and his passenger, friend Zachary Hartwell, [...]
Mr. Apple-Bottom-Jeans-Boots-with- the-Fur got busted for DUI early this morning swerving his $1.7 Million dollar automobile on South Beach. Now drunk driving is dumb under any condition but I'll reserve my judgement I'm sure we've all journeyed home under the assumption that we were less slammed than we really were, but we're not rolling around in mini mansions capable of 200+ mph. Where's a driver/weed carrier when you need one? He was subsequently pulled over around 3:30 a.m. and given a sobriety test after cops detected alcohol on his breath. He failed to perform [...]
Filed under: News , I Fought the Law Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department via Getty Images News agencies are reporting that '80s rock star Rick Springfield was busted for drunk driving on Sunday night after being pulled over for speeding in his Corvette on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, California. He was booked and spent part of the night in jail before being released early morning on Monday. Musically, Springfield is most [...]
Dirty Beaches — Drunk Driving I dug up this Dirty Beaches track from a split he did with U.S. Girls (available here ), and per usual, it (softly) shreds. Pained crooning, murky drum hits -everything we've come to expect from Mr. Hungtai- set adrift in a noirish haze.
So I've finally emerged to add my list of favorite records from this past year to the pool of billions of other lists. Apologies all around for the lack of activity around here lately, but the end of the year is always a busy one for me and hopefully I can get the ball rolling once again at the start of the new year when things start to calm down. Anyway, here are my favorite releases, many of which who read the blog have probably already seen/read about/heard already...but oh well. Some singles that I enjoyed... [...]
This week was a big one for lists across the Internet. I guess now that our calendars have all been flipped from September to October people are beginning to realize that the year is coming to an end. What better way to write something that will impact readers more than creating copious lists. Rank everything! I might have started this trend five years ago with my weekly top ten lists, but I finally feel now as if the rest of the Internet has caught up to Swan Fungus. Hey, guys, I'm really glad I could meet you all here at [...]
Ra Ra Riot - Oh, La "Want to go to a free Ra Ra Riot concert Monday?" I texted. "Who/what is a ra ra riot?" Ron, my brother's friend, texted back. "It's a band. They play music. With instruments." I'm a goddam riot alright. "Check YouTube to see if you'd like them." "Sounds indieish but not half bad. I'm down." "It's at 7 in Queen Anne. Swing by my place at 6 for a drink before we head out." So Ron, some 6'4 future Marine, showed [...]
After getting arrested for a second time following a horrible decision to drink and drive, Chris Klein is going to rehab . The "American Pie" actor is finally seeking help for his alcohol abuse problems. Klein will be headed to Cirque Lodge in Utah where he will complete a 30 day alcohol addiction program. You may remember the facility that housed Lindsay Lohan in one of her trips to rehab. Chris' rep crafted a statement [...]
The Black Lips: "Before You Judge Me" MP3/download Not a WHOLE hell-of-a lot of time to post today, but I wanted to share the nice, Strange Boys-ish new Black Lips single, "Before You Judge Me," and also alert you to the existence of the new issue of Signal To Noise Magazine. This is StN #58, [...]
Is this irony ? Eleven years ago, a drunk driver was let off by a judge (60 day suspended sentence). The same drunk driver drunkenly crashed into that very judge (in 2009) and was recently sentenced to three years of time. The judge's life hasn't been the same since the crash.
Not too long ago, Denman gave us a recap of a blistering Drunkdriver set in Baltimore at the Golden West Cafe. This past Friday, he was lucky enough to catch them again down in Austin. Above is a clip capturing the band as they rip through a song at the Aquarius Records/WFMW SXSW showcase, held at Encore. And after the jump, Denman takes a moment to talk to the band about how they connect, what their process is like, and details about their new album.
This past Saturday, I left the dance floors, the posh bars, and the indie bands of DC in search of something different. Something I used to know, and desperately needed to re-connect with. I needed to get back to an energy just past the bounds of safe, just beyond the horizon of controlled. And though I lamented the idea that I had to leave the District to find that, I hopped into a car and headed to Baltimore. The basic humanity I sought out was to be found this particular evening in a restaurant converting part of its [...]
Someone has pointed out to him that it might not be wise to leave the tweets in his stream, but both TMZ and AndPop have helpfully saved evidence of what a dump-bowl he really is: "Face numb im whippin the lambo. Tispy as f*k. Just left @livmiami." "Im f**ked up!!! Ohhhh damn. Y i drive the lambo. Chris might have to drive after next spot." Luckily, Bow Wow was not involved in an accident where anyone else got hurt. Unfortunately, he didn't drive himself into a tree.
