Thanksgiving Day Prayer by William Burroughs

On a lighter note, we're all spending a nice day off with friends and family, drinking beers and liquor and setting the kitchen on fire.
Hope everyone is safe and full of good food and enjoying the company of loved ones.
Best wishes,

Tittay Citay. For the fellas. Good, clean, artistic fun. Okay, not clean. But no D.P. or ATM's either. Refreshing change for a bit.

Toro Y Moi - Causers of This

 Brand New. Growing into alot more Dilla shit. Hesitant about that aspect, but it's great nonetheless.

Awesome- Super Space Adventure

Circa 2006, maybe?:

Glimpo was running out of time. The barbados crystals on his Rum Gun were no longer delviering maximum flavor, and with his weapon lacking in robustness, he was sure to succumb to the forces of evil. "Fuck" he said, "I planned inadequetly!" It would be three earth hours before his Crew would return to his rescue. Date rape was looking like an option- albeit not a very funny one.

"No, no," thought Glimpo, tossing his now-useless Rum Gun aside like a torn contraceptive, "I need to save all these drugs for myself. Being selfish is ALL I HAVE." Glancing from fat girl to fat girl he cursed rudely at thier increasing attractiveness. Then his eye was caught by a beautiful alien bitch. Glimpo used his Electro- Bar Napkin to fashion the following crude note:


I NOTICED YOU ARE GREEN. MY BET IS THAT MEANS YR HORENEY. ON EARTH GIRLS (THAT LIKE ME) TURN COLORS WHEN THEY ARE LIKING ME. FUCK YES. WILL YOU LET ME HUMP IT? WHATEVER IT IS THAT YOU GOT, I DON'T CARE[TURN OVER] MUCH.

BriTunes, yes BriTunes

Brian Williams, of I replaced (and was handpicked by the greatest suckup to the greatest generation) Tom Brokaw fame, was recently on a radio show that I like to listen to and it was brought up that he has a music blog called, yes as the title suggests, BriTunes.

And you may be nearly as surprised as I was to learn that he has pretty excellent taste in music. This is his first interview on the BriTunes website, which also happens to be one of my current favorite bands, Deer Tick. For those not familar, it's a nice raspy-voiced folk-punk-indie kind of vibe, yes that description was terrible. This is about their new album, Born on Flag Day, but their first album is much better in my opinion. It's called War Elephant, pick it up fools.

Love,
Ryan

P.S. I'm sorry about the linkage, I couldn't get this video to embed for some reason, anyways, enjoy. And also, did you know that in a recent survey 22% of men now include XOXO in their text message sign-offs to other male friends. So in the spirit of homosexual one-upmanship, I promise all of you handjobs the next time I see you.

Post Rock Madness

Never In My Dreams...

did I think i would not only like, but promote a Me'Shell NdegeOcello album. From Van Morrison duets with John Mellencamp, to cheesy solo radio singles. No, no, no.

Then comes this. Granted, I'm not familiar at all with her body of work, but I had no reason to believe she could put out an album that sounds EXACTLY like Sade partying with T.V. on the Radio, and have it be every bit as good as that sounds typed out. It's a mindfuck and it makes me super happy. Enjoy.

Bottin - Horror Disco

 Instant heavy rotation. Sounds like it's named. Nuff Said.

Disumbrationalism Sweeps the Art World

"I got more publicity from this little joke, which had occupied me no more than an hour a year during the three years I was engaged in it, than from all the serious work I ever did over many decades." -Paul Jordan-Smith

The merit of art, be it music, film, painting, literature, etc, is of course purely subjective. Being a product of culture, the nature of what makes art appealing is deeply routed in what's around you. In the grand scheme of things, almost nothing seperates Radiohead and Nickelback, but in our deep cultural immersion they are worlds apart.

So what happens when someone plays a trick on the culture? In 1924 Pavel Jerdanowich swept the art world with works such as "Exaltation":



The catch was Jerdanowich wasn't real. He was a man named Paul Jordan-Smith, who was a little miffed at art critics for dissing his wife's realistic still life paintings. So he spent half an hour bullshitting the above painting, and then took this awesome picture of himself:



After submitting the painting, photo, and a fake bio thru art world channels, he quickly found himself to be critically acclaimed, so he bullshitted a series of increasing amatuerish and bizzare paintings. Jordan-Smith grew tired of the joke in 1927, and confessed to the hoax. This caused uproar in the art world, with some critics who had praised him claiming that they weren't wrong, but that Jordan-Smith simply posssed genius all along, and was unaware of it.

Of course this was just the critics trying not to look stupid, but maybe in a way they were right. Through his keen satire of the art world, Jordan-Smith actually managed to make art with cultural impact, and is remembered for it to this day.

Also, the awesomeness of this painting is hard to argue with:



Disumbrationist School of Painting: A Hoax that Emabarassed the Art World

Alright! Indeed. Indeed.

"if you got any lighters, you can take em out of your pocket like this guy. This is a slow one. It's called "burried alive"

The best track has to Waaarrrrrheeeaaaad!

Cold Cave

BEAK>

Geoff Barrow's (portishead) Beak>. For me better than the last portishead album. Enjoy.

Just click the pick already and get lost in it.

From openers unassuming long payoff , shift to drony experimentalism 'ham green' track three, straight to stereolabish 'i know' track 4, on and on it's background music that still demands attention and repeat plays.

Gonna revisit last portishead album and check back as thinking my distate was a matter of perspective i've only recently gained. more on that later.

If you didn't know, now you know

Practice makes perfect??

Full Circle

Kick back and relax with your choice of bong load, case of natty, or main squeeze....life's about to get jingled all the way.
How did it slip by that the creepy vhs I had all these years was a mst3k episode? Did we already know it and it just got drank out of memory?
I seem to recall most of us commenting that it would've made a great episode. I also remember that outsiders, insiders, and random "party people" becoming quite upset at the high frequency of plays this one got at the dome.
Watch it and let me know if you think we could have done better or not.



By the way, is our "after the jump" code missing? How does that shit work?

Oh, and also, i guess I don't know why i can't post the video... Link instead.
Guess which option I chose for relaxation.
"kid, that's not how you play a rifle"

I should get to work. Santa will have to wait untill christmas. Happy Halloween.

Bat for Lashes One Week Only

Bat for Lashes 2+2
Please click above link if you haven't watched. Bat for lashes documentary on Pitchfork for this week only. They're always great, this one hit me as hard as the Atlanta Scene doc, and it's a far more limited scope, just one artist, one album.

The first album, i quick judged as a Bjork ripoff and subsequently ignored. A good one but not that special. The second album, Two Suns far more intrigued for a couple listens, but not overwhelmed.

After watching the doc, i can't stop listening to Two Suns. I wish more artists did this, but coinciding with an albums release (a la Blakroc, another must watch. RZA plays guitar w/black keys on one). It puts not only the recording process, but the context and approach of where the essence of the album is coming from on display.you're instantly focused with references and inferences when you listen to it afterwards. It doesn't hurt the doc that she's intelligent and attractive i suppose, but the music is undeniably great on it's own, I'm smitten all around. Better late than never. Click the pick for the album silly.

Happy Halloween

No wonder they canceled the news.



Current estimates of casualties in iraq are 30,000 americans and about 100,000 iraqies.
grim, I know.

2 yr anniversary!

Chunks brought it up, 2 year anniversary of danger blog in a matter of days, i've made peter shirts in the past, this seems equally as exciting.

Rick, talk to evan, who's into lame 90's music, and see if he'll make some shit happen even though i've shitted on him publicly in a "do better you're lame" sense. Toys R Us north charleston doesn't cut it regardless if there's a lambo in the lot or not. They made me take my hat off for an Applebee's atmosphere!!!! I know he's sympathetic!

Got designs and posters in the bank just need to know they can happen for real. Milestones and shit. We've accomplished something as a group, the rest of the world can fuck off. Seriously. The world hates us. Or hates you. We're intriguing. Either way. You/we suck. lets make fun sexy time party wear!? Shut up.!.Get a job you loser. Jesus Rick is worthless! Kisses!


and if it's long the rest here.

If every day of my life had a moment as perfect as this...

Peter! New Daniel Johnston

If you're not familiar, watch The Devil and Daniel Johnston . Your missing a piece of goodness in your life. A must see for music heads. If you are familiar, get this now. I'd enjoyed aspects of prior albums, but his looming personality always pushed it more than the music. The new album is awesome, the first album that sounds like "real music" instead of just the whimsy of a wonderful crazy person, as wonderful as that whimsy was. His prior lo-fi has it's place, this actually puts him production wise where he deserved to be, as opposed to just another wesley willis "i love him cause he's crazy". Shit is just good pop songs.

And Peter, he's playing Caine's on the 23rd. I will hate you if you don't go see him for us. Tickets still available.

Download by clicking the pic silly.

The Chap

Surprise, more ghostly. 'Carlos Walter Wendy Stanley' came on random, one of the most off kilter but still enjoyable songs i'd heard in a bit. Peep game whoadi.

Where The Wild Things Are Is Where You Should Be

It's beautiful to look at, keeps you engaged the whole time, encourages emotional responses without demanding them and leaves room to enjoy thinking about it afterwards. It's not a movie, it's a Film and it's the best one i've seen this year.

There is no valid excuse to not see this as soon as possible in a theater.

Toro Y Moi

Figured enough with the talking about it and post the damn thing. Toro Y Moi. Feel it.
