SweatLord

I'm just the kind of asshole who'll try something like growing his hair out and training for a marathon at the same time. The humidity is off the charts and my wiry mane will soon be not unlike a burnt shock of dirt-honey... in the proper glint of course. It's the perfect weather for backseat swigs of Old Krupnik and clinging to the grass of the state park of your choice in hallucinogenic frenzy. To paraphrase a certain B-More Gutter track in a Breihanian manner, Ninjas from each side of this fair city, tear these walls down.

That's right, greenhouse emissions have pushed up primo August 1974 listening time to the tail end of June. Freakish. Soon enough we'll be listening to Pran Nath's Midnight at, like, 8:00pm. I went out and bought a damn bathing suit; it may be my only chance. I'm missing having a portable music player more and more. I may have to start saving or donating plasma once again.

Still haven't found a warehouse to let me unload my Andy Stott, Substance & Vanquier, et al. Wisconsin only wants Armen Van Buren. Fuckin' backwoods guidos, us. Still, who'm I to bitch?

Full Kustom Churl

A year or possibly likely two years ago, a bunch of wretched chums and I got together and made a recording. We made a bunch, actually, but there was only one that we had the foresight to name "Cicada Husk". I think that was a damn good name, and I remember the tune well, since that was apparently an apt description for more reasons than the abundance of delish corpses strewn about the landscape, awaiting our forks as we smudged mascara and made epic junkie poses to ourselves...

Nah, but we did actually name one of our fetid blasts "Cicada Husk". I don't remember what it sounds like, even though it's on this very computer, because I've been so damn mismanaged that I don't know where the appropriate "dongle" (shaddup) is to allow me access to the ultra-encoded Cubase files on which it resides. What I'm gettin' at is I haven't listened to shit this month. New shit. Old shit.

A man needs a break sometimes, and that sometimes is June, a historically broke month for yrs truly. A month in which dubstep finally makes it bigtime into "Buzzfeed" (don't ask how I knows; it ain't right). A psilocybin-tinged internal month in which the hott new drops can all wait 'til after I blow my fireworks budget over the next couple weeks. If I miss 'em... my loss. It'll be a bummer, but I've got pleny of neurons working out their feedback weighting schema as is, so I'll eat some good raw meat and let 'em build up before getting back on the smash course.

Oh, I'm still listening to tunes... working hard to catch up on the archives of "my shows"... the 'FMU fanchild's angle on his own personal mamma's beloved daytime "stories" (okay, fine, I'm a latchkey kid)... but I'm not thinking about them... I'm just too sweaty for that kinda thing. It's all soft-focus pontoon boat rides and borrowed bottles of High Life for now. And that's okay. That's what I imagined Frame possibly being a good mental map to under certain sun-glints.

Yeh, there'll be catchup to play, for sure. Plenty already threatening my salivary glands for when I wake up in a few days. I just wanted to let you all know what Sir Quincy was up to on his summer vacation... now get that ruler away from my knuckles.

Scandal Hatch

Something of a placeholder here. Just returned (okay, a few daze ago) from Indianapolis. Shitwork. Couldn't even bother to find the cheap local brews, though corporate tabs of others were certainly fondled & caressed. Now I wait for travel reimbursement and don't even check out release lists for fear of want. Desire is too easy and I've finally found a hole to 'up in and maybe cheap out a jam or two, so there's that. Scary, though... my hunch and paunch are somewhat without a direction to lurch in, with all temporary rekkid-dodging. YOU ALL RELEASE TOO MUCH GOOD LIMITED RUN SHIT. Fuck, man, how many $100 4 disc Rallizes boots can they put out? I just can't keep up. But that shtuff should be spread anyways; no one person meant to hoard it all. So I'll sit here recuperating and pickin' my sunburnt forearms. Back on the air this Friday after outta town false starts. Looking to mebbe fellate Seth Rogen for perhaps sparking the "don't be a brah douche" movement. We'll see how this perpetuates... Tru Gritt...
