Misplacedicks


So its been a while since I've been here, but I promise you that, like pussy, I come in waves. And one time I did come in a wave. Whoosh.

Part of the reason for my absence (though its not an excuse) is lately I have been making collaborative music. What?! ya you heard me. I have been helping a female lead power pop garage rock outfit get vearginas wet. Lets go with Poprawk. Does that work as a definition? Bells and Cannons are the name we go by and we do some things well. For instance Devon, our leading lady, shakes her vocal chords better than anyone you or the guy you bought your vibrator from knows. She also is good at finding four leaf clovers. Spooky, the masterbasser, is a black ginger man. Yup. Me, I just try not to fuck the vibe up and sometimes do a decent job, I'm also really good at finding three leaf clovers. And I really want to play a party where we strictly play covers from the Billy Madison soundtrack.

So here s a little rant I wrote watching a 49ers game the other day, Ill throw up my fav tracks of the month at the bottom. Octobers finest.

Why do people boo? where did this chant come from. Instead of looking it up lets sort through some explanations that come to mind. I feel that it could have had something to do with a boob reference that was cut short by a backhand slap, perhaps taking place in a cave. Like “Bitch you wont even let me come on your booo(slap)” “All I said to her was she has great boooo(punch)” Or maybe it was simply used at first to describe grotesquely oversized pair of breasts. Man, look at those boobs, those are fuckin boooooobs! Yeah I can see it taking off from there. It might have happened at a football game too, a female with knockers so large that a man would take offense the same way he would when the running back on his team fumbles at the goal line. It may seem like a ridiculous statement but I promise you it is (possibly) true and also is something I don’t fully understand. Ya she knows she has big boobs and not everybody is down with that, but as a viewer you don’t need to go pursing your lips and arching your eyebrows making a a deep primitive noise. The same goes for our poor running back, ya we know you like the team he plays on and we know that he gets paid a lot of money to put a death grip on a piece of inflated leather, but booing doesn’t put super glue in his hands and it doesn’t turn E-cups into whatever Halle Berry is carrying. Save your air for motorboating and chanting “warm up the bus”

Thats it, for now. I have a series of short stories comin to you all in the next couple weeks. You probably know what they involve but I'll tell you anyway. Misplaced Penises.

Love ya.

Back






























Hello Everybody, I'm not quite sure how to go about this anymore to be honest with you. My keyboard feels like anals beads situated on a Harry Potter novel- foreign, but fun to think about the possibilities. And no I won't stick my keyboard in your ass, unless you're into that sorta thing. Glad you all could make it back, arn't you?

Two Thousand and Ten has been a fantastic year for new releases. It's hard to believe its half over but the musical catalogue proves that the past 6 months have not just been a fantastic dream, they have actually taken place. And they have taken place in sexual paradise with the most beautiful part being the soundtrack. It seems that since February all that I have wanted to listen to is glistening summer beach anthems. And conveniently enough, all that seems to be being released is tunes of this exact specification. If you were hoping for Goth Beastiality Techno records, this is not the year for you.

This year has also brought some highlights for me as a live music spectator. I have a few short point form notes to mention.

-LCD Soundsystem is the best party anywhere. Anywhere
-Vampire Weekend might look like fags but they are Anything But Fags- A.B.F
-Brother Ali looks like Santa Claus
-Z-Trip is better than Girl Talk
-My friend got jerked off from a girl standing in front of him during Deadmau5, so you know he's good.
-You arn't cool unless you pee your pants before 5pm, unless you're Ween
-I'll be at Sasquatch until I'm 40 years old

So since this year has been the year of the summer jam, I feel like I need to share my UVA/UVB playlist with you. Here is the deal: Find that lady would've been wanting to get to know and grab your candles and merlot and hit a beach with my new favorite babymaking broherim- Tallest Man on Earth.

I love to quote R. Kelly here and R. knows "Summer bodies drive me crazy"
so lets put em to use.

UVA/UVB Playlist


Love you all

Aprils Best






















I've been away from the game for a little while now due to the need to tend other things. This is the best time of year for the casual sports fan as well as the journeymen pervert. Running and watching the tele have been consuming most of my time of late, as well as playing suck and blow and spin the bottle with new friends.

The return to the spin the bottle arena was an eye opener for me. No more is the wild heart fluttering anticipation, no, us post-adolescent humans are much harder to please. If were not getting stroked off by nail-polished fingers while making out we just really cant get too into it.

Remember the sweet metal-filled kisses of our youth, the ones where time stood still and penis stood tall... and twitched? The notion of a hand on the small of the back used to send me over the edge. Now I need two bare breasts in my grasp to keep attentive enough to massage the lips of another with mine. I'm a great kisser but I'm a very poor masterbaterer getter.

We are doomed though arn't we, the more action we get the lazier we become. Until you turn the camera on that is. I recall my first trip under the hood, how new and exciting it was. It was like a new musical instrument really, trying to see what sorts of sounds you could get. Now I when I talk to vaginas my main goal is to simply get the favor returned, and not drown them in scotch and soda. I recently had my 22nd birthday and was out with friends who still consider me young. When I said my age someone replied "You don't even know how to fuck yet."

This is probably true, but now, looking back on the humble beginnings in the bedroom it might be time to put the effort back into effornicate. Even if its not a word.

April was also a fantastic month for music, not just for nostalgic kissing games. Cheers.

Crystal Castles Announce Second LP

























Mar 18, 2008

That was the day when dance music first got emotionally flipped on its head by the oddest of couples from the most fitting of cities. Ethan Kath and Alice Glass did different things with music. Alice beat the shit out of every song she sang on, while Ethan crafted smooth but abrasive simple electronic dance.

Ethan first spotted Alice on stage at a bar in Montreal performing for the punk band she then sang for. The rest is violent, fantastic history.

Their first record entitled 'Crystal Castles' was released on the march date above and was a collection of songs pieced together from 4 years of experimenting and playing arguably the most entertaining live shows in music. The record was completely new ground for electronic dance music because of the mood that it carried front to back. As much fun as the disc can be it doesn't sound fun. It sounds dark and full of despair in a way that Elliot Smith would be happy to dance to. Even though it carries this mood there is no denying the brilliance of it. Listening to this record is like watching the world end while agreeably bobbing your head to the hypnotic sound of it.

Through headphones it takes you to another place, but no matter how high you are or how vibrant your imagination is the place that it takes you to is nowhere near as audibly inundating as their live show.

So here we are April 15th 2010 and we finally get another fix from this face-fucking canadian duo. "Doe Deer" is a single that was set for release on record day but as now been leaked to the world via the .com. The new record comes out on June 8th and features songs called "Fainting Spells", "Baptism" and "Pap Smear". Hooh. It is also self titled and looks like that ^.

Fab Five


Happy April Folks,

This month is my favorite of the twelve, like drinking a case of beer you start feeling pretty good around the forth beverage. So ya, this month I start to feel pretty good about the year that is now upon us. It all comes right about now: Extended sunlight, shrinking clothing leading to extended organs, chocolate, furry animals, blooming tulips, hockey playoffs, NFL draft, wheat draft, poka dots, sun spots, sun roofs, no roofs and the fatigue factors fab five albums of spring.

Don't act like you didn't know.

This spring marks the renaissance of the true rock and roll band. And it does so in a large way.
A true rock All-Star team assembled in their prime putting out long awaited albums for the greater good of the world.

In the past year I have lost the yearning for the traditional rock and roll band. I have whored my ears out to the pleasure center pounding art of electronic music over the last 12 months, with their quick fix hooks and ADD melodies I really had no choice as a sexually functioning young adult. I fell victim to their offer like a cocker spaniel chasing a tennis ball on a sheet of ice; hard and often.

I liken it to my current hiatus from 5 pin bowling, I don't really miss it but it's gonna be fuckin magical to get back to it.

Now you most likely are wondering who these mythical rock legends are that are making a return to the Billboard arena to literally Come(Jizz) riffs on our out-streached arms. Well.......... we're gonna count down from 5 to prolong the anticipation.

5. Band of Horses- Infinite Arms (May 18th)


Infinite Arms is the third Band of Horses album. Their two previous releases have strong folk and country influences. Think of a Tom Petty/Willy Nelson lovechild that was hooked up to a generator for a quick second before heading on stage with The Band. These four talented musicians make you want to grow your pubic and facial hair just long enough them drenched in whiskey.



4. The National- High Violet (May 11)


























The National make melodic, rhythmic rock for lovers. Whether you are about to propose to your girlfriend or to the half wedge of lemon cheesecake in your fridge, they will put you in The mood.

"I'm put together beautifully,
big wet bottle in my fist, big wet rose in my teeth,
I'm a perfect piece of ass."

All words presented in a sultry baritone lull courtesy of lead singer Matt Berninger.
If I could get wet I would. And if you can get wet you should, the cover art alone is enough for the visual learners.



3. The Hold Steady- Heaven is Whenever (May 4)

The Hold Steady Reveal Album Cover

























Anthem: (noun) A song, as of praise, devotion or patriotism.

The Hold Steady are your last party's soundtrack, especially if you don't remember it. If Bruce Springsteen mixed Valium with Vodka he might have as much fun as these guys...just maybe. If The Hold Steady was the only band playing Sasquatch this year I would still go, and probably do more drugs.



2. The New Pornographers- Together (May 4)


Porno-power-pop-super-group.

This mostly Canadian band peaked in 2005 with their fantastic release Twin Cinema. It opened my eyes to the wonderful world of non-commercial pop music and was a mainstay in the clarion tampon that occupied the audio vagina of my Honda Civic for my three lovely year-long high school campaigns. Two of the best voices in indie rock anchor the ship to this Matador release. Expect Something Great.



1. Broken Social Scene- Forgiveness Rock Record

New Epic Broken Social Scene Song!























Broken Social Scene haven't released a full-length album as an entity in five long years. But on May 4th we get one, and all signs point to it being phenomenal. Another Canadian product Broken Social Scene have long been known for layering tracks upon tracks to create the largest and busiest songs in modern rock music. They also have an unbelievable knack for writing sweet, sweet melodies....and they love doing it. We all know Leslie Fiest from her Apple Accessibility and her man, Kevin Drew, is the driving force behind the newly trimmed down BSS record.

In the past this band has performed and recorded with as many as 12 musicians to the ecstatic acclaim of many fans. In their hiatus though, they have decided to change the way they present their songs and are now comprised of a more traditional six piece line-up. I stumbled upon them in my never-ending pre adolescent quest to find teen angst music. The name of the band seemed to me to promise a heavy dosage of maxed out Marshal amps and vocal wailing.

I was wrong.

And as in many times in my life when I am wrong, something beautiful came of it.

Enjoy.

Be My Lady


















Recently a friend of mine pointed out that I have a certain bias towards only posting music created by african americans on the fatfact. I looked it up, he is right. 79% of what you will find on here is the collective creative product of the race that is harder to see in the dark. I also much prefer Chocolate milk to Vanilla Vibe. Think of the FF as the Boston Celtics of 2000's while other blogs are merely the Celts of 1980's. You have clearly made the right choice.

Today is no different, I'm sticking with our faster, flyer, funkier, fried chicken loving friends and I know they will deliver.

The Meters are possibly the best funk band of all time. The drums they recorded in the early 1980's are probably the most heavily sampled music in modern Hip Hop, and for good reason. These guys have a pulse running through them that grooves like James Brown on PCP.


More Cocoa:



I also just finished readin a little paperback and it ended with the following insight:

"I know that history is simultaneously a bloody mess and a collection of feats so inspiring and amazing they make you proud to share the same DNA structure with the rest of humanity. I know you'd better focus on the good stuff or you're screwed. I know that the race does not go to the swift, nor the bread to the wise, so you should soak up what enjoyment you can. I know not to take the cinnamon for granted."

I know all of you are beautiful and I want to invite all of you over for dinner.

And just maybe a glass of white wine.

I now have another thing to do before I die, this:

SXSW Sat: Major Lazer, YACHT, Memory Tapes, Cloud Nothings, Duchess Says


















Apparently SXSW was really cold on the weekend so it makes sense that Diplo hired an bikini-clad african go-go dancer to do handstands on his fold up rubbermaid table during his set. If this doesn't make you want to try your hand at Dj'ing, I'm not sure what would. All I wanna do is drink Hennesey and watch people go upside down. Real Talk.

It is morning right now and I found a new waking up anthem to share with all of you impulsive snooze button smashers. It is composed by a California pop rock outfit that call themselves The Morning Benders, fitting right? Opening with a hazy squinting guitar line it blooms with layers of percussion and just the right amount of da dada da da da dum's. Before you know it you will be out of bed inviting friends over for fruit and frittata's. You'll invite me if I'm lucky.


I also started writing a little diddly involving love and coming and stuff:

There is love in you, there is love in me. It may take different methods of extraction for the two of us but the end result is uncannily similar. Love and orgasms have, hands down, got to be the two best fucking renewable resources around. When the power is out in my house I fancy starting a fire strictly using belly buttons, and belly buttons are everywhere.

Cheers Lovers,
