Not since the Browns left Cleveland for Baltimore 15 years ago has the city received so much moral support from the rest of the country. Witness South Park's take on the Unchosen One's "explanation". Too funny.
We have a new video from 2MERICA posted. This one gets you on the bike and zooming around town with Ezraz Jones and his panfunktual bonobos. Watch out for the signs!
We have some pre-winter storms rolling through so I watch this with instant nostalgia. Stupid skorpion monkeys.
It has begun it's journey through the tubes of the internet, fresh from a session at The All Night Party and sounding so tasty. You will need to cue it up right after "Never Met Tomorrow" for part 2 of Scherzo Elskorpion, the 3rd 2MERICA LP in progress.
We can't link to buy or even preview yet since those links don't exist. Just wanted to drop some pre-release hype onto the internut to show some charisma. C'mon people!
You web old schoolers might remember a set of streaming radio stations I used to program about 10 years ago. There was the infamous P.Addict Radio playing all rarities from the P-Funk mob, Newzilla Radio that played unsigned funky stuff, and the flagship station WFNK RADIO that did a little bit of everything. It was a good listen and lots of fun managing those streams but they died out eventually.
I'm happy to announce that I just brought WFNK RADIO back in a new form, this time on Jango. It's free, sounds good, works in most browsers, doesn't leak memory, and if you sign up for an account you get all sorts of social-media features to add to your listening experience. Same things as before just 10 years of web advancement makes it that much better.
Tune in right here: play WFNK Radio. Old-school funk and soul, newer sounds, and the occasional rock track thrown in to keep the mix going... check out the new WFNK Radio! If you haven't tried streaming radio like Jango and Pandora lately give it a shot, it's come a long way. I find Pandora's library and playlists to be lacking, but Jango let's you really build a killer station.
Wow, the 2MERIMIX OPEN MIND NITE @ The Duck last night has left all involved groggy and probably a bit irritable, but time marches on, the beat goes on, the show must go on, etc.. Thankfully two bits of progress in the battle against irrelevance came through today:
-- First off the next 2MERICA single just left the mastering engineer and it's making it's way to the tubes of the internets. Titled "Keep Steady", it's the 2nd of 5 tracks from the Scherzo Elskorpion LP. It's also the 'sex scene' in the soundtrack so check it out! Like most 2MERICA songs, it's a curveball that turns into a knuckleball right before you swing and miss, so yeah, stay tooned for the latest and greatest. This track is an old school sick jam with Jesus on bass, Swifty on the v-drums, Jaimeson doing his dirty rap, lil' Z on guitars, and Ezraz supplying the remaining noise. It should be available for purchase at the usual suspects (iTunes, cdbaby, amazon) and for streaming (Napster, Spotify, and Jango) in about a month.
-- Secondly, the process of 'going legit' (aka getting our chit together) has continued, with a parent company formed to manage the Flux-adel Recording Division and all of it's various progressions and proclivities. You the faithful internet cruiser won't notice or care about this, but we are all proud and wanted to make the announcement. Collinwood Sun LLC has risen.
So yeah. My manager Fahqfasse finally got some stuff done. I get to hang out back and pee on his office, the mighty brick fortress known as FF Bookman Promotions. Which is my little way of posting status updates on his wall.
LOVE Ezrazmus 'elemento' jones, founder of the round world society, 73rd generation panfunktual bonobo
ps - here's something to cheer you up, the unforgettable Cee-Lo Green has had me singing this hook for 3 days now!
