Hullabaloo 3 Repost Redux

We're only a couple days away, so just in case you missed it the first time... here is the only Christmas mix 100% GUARANTEED to make your relatives all like "WTF?!?!?" when you put it on. And you know you wanna see that. So once again... enjoy! And here's a sneak preview posted for no other reason than to get this post on Hype Machine... although you'll enjoy having this separately for your own future mixtape purposes, no doubt...

Shawn Lee - I'll Be F**king You This Christmas (ysi)

And now, faithfully copied and pasted translated from the original manuscript...

Ho Ho Ho, Pimps and Hoes!

Hey, is that reindeer shit on the ground? It is? Well then, it must be that time of the year... time for the quasi-annual Happy Holiday Hullabaloo, the most popular Christmas mix series since "Conrad Murray's Merry Mixtapes". NOT for the kiddies...

Bearish on Beats

If I have any readers left after the ass-wiping revelations discussed in my last post, this one's for you...



This might just be one of the best early morning House records I've heard in a good long minute... and I have (for what it's worth) heard a lot of House records in the early morning. It comes German producer Gabor Schablitzki who, luckily for us, decided to go by the far-easier-to-spell handle Robag Wruhme. As you can tell I meant that sarcastically. Germans and their stupid German words. I just got this German Beer the other day that's name was like one 36-letter word. The fuck? Anyhoo, the only other salient point I can think of about Mr. Robag is that from the looks of his headshot, I'm going to guess his favorite animal is the bear, if you know what I mean... merely and observation, mind you...

Robag Wruhme - Donnerkuppel (ysi)

Hmm... is that all for now? I think that's all for now. Good day...

Not terribly ambidexterous...

So it's been pretty hard getting blog posts done the last couple of weeks... since I squashed the middle finger of my left hand in my car door like a damn idiot. Now, don't call off work or anything... I'm okay. But it's been pretty wild seeing just how hard it is getting by on just one hand. You don't even realize what you do with a certain hand until you can't, ya dig? What I'm trying to get at, and what I only share here because I know no one reads this is this... the horrifying discovery that I cannot, for the life of me, properly wipe my ass with my right hand. I mean, normally I am a tidy, efficient wiper... but trying to do it with my right hand, you'd think I'd just been potty trained or perhaps even had a touch of the palsy. Especially shocking since I'M FREAKING RIGHT HANDED. Paradigm shifted...



Not that any of that has anything to do with today's song. It's by Dub Syndicate, one of the many projects of famed Dub practitioner Adrian Sherwood... this one came out when I was in college and I fell quite in love with it for the Jim Morrison samples, which is the kind of thing that white college kids do...

Dub Syndicate - Stoned Immaculate (ysi)

Okay, I'm gonna be late for wiping practice. Toodles...

Mix-eltoe & Holly

Ho Ho Ho, Pimps and Hoes!

Of unfortunate metaphors and stupid puns...

Just in case you missed it, be sure and check out the brand new holiday mix before you read on. Go ahead, I'll wait...

That shit is merry as fuck, ain't it? Damn skippy! Anyhoo, moving on...



So what happens to a Jazz standard when it falls into the hands of a Free Jazz lunatic? I'd imagine that in some cases results aren't pretty... that the tune is roofied, taken behind the shed and thoroughly defiled... but here Sax man Archie Shepp treats this Duke Ellington classic like a lady. The worst he does is show her a little porn... but it just kind of excites her a little and she goes to bed thinking naughty thoughts and maybe uses a banana for something...

Archie Shepp - I Got It Bad (And That Ain't Good) (ysi)

But seriously, go get that Christmas mix. DON'T BE A GRINCH, BINCH! Get it? Binch! Ha!

Blowing You (Away)

I'll see if I can get this one in before these crazy winds blow my narrow ass all the way to Pacoima...



Funk D'Void is a Scottish dude with a Swedish name (Lars Sandberg) who's been making pumpin' Techno jammies for the legendary Soma label for quite some time now. Wait a minute... did I just type the phrase "pumpin' Techno jammies"? I did? Wow. Anyhoo, this jammy isn't really all that pumpin', of course... as I follow my usual practice of telling you one thing then giving you another. I'm a dick like that. This is the last tune on the record... a nice, relaxing coda to all those... sigh... you know...

Funk D'Void - Sueno For Someone (ysi)

And if you don't believe me about that wind, I offer you this scene from my neighborhood this morning...


Sign 1, Nissan 0 F

Damn!
