[adult swim] Singles Series '15 Heralds Ghostface Killah & DOOM's Unofficial Return-to-form, "Lively Hood" (DOOMSTARKS, Gas Drawls?)




"We reached out to DOOM to see if he was interested in giving us a track, and were told that the DOOMSTARKS project was close to completion and there was a song we could have... we jumped on it! I mean, it's [Ghostface Killah] and DOOM rapping together. It's pretty much my rap nerd dreams coming true. I think they bring something out in each other that's very exciting for me as a rap listener," Adult Swim's own glorified fan-boy Jason DeMarco recently gushed to Uproxx, concerning of course, the cartoon network's acquisition of DOOMSTARKS' unofficial return-to-form, "Lively Hood." While his official title may be Vice President/Creative Director of Adult Swim On-Air, DeMarco himself simply managed to distill his responsibilities down to "basically, if it's on Adult Swim and it's NOT a show, it's my group's responsibility to make;" this including, but not limited to promo campaigns, network ID's, animated shorts, partner-created content, and network text 'bumps'. Wu-Tang expert swordsmen Ghostface Killah's relationship with the sharp-tongued masked villain MF DOOM seemingly dates back to around 2006-07, when DOOM produced a handful of nearly flawless beats utilized within Ghostface's magnificent career re-defining Fishscale and its companion album, More Fish; albeit, even before these impeccable fishy albums, DANGERDOOM producer Danger Mouse recruited Tony Starks to appear alongside DOOM on their Adult Swim-fueled The Mouse & The Mask heavy-hitter, "The Mask."


However, not long after their critically-acclaimed back-to-back releases, rumblings started to travel across The Internet concerning a collaborative DOOMSTARKS (or then, known as GHOSTDOOM), joint full-length, tentatively titled "Swift & Changeable." Since it's nearly decade-old initial announcement, DOOM & Ghostface have reconvened on a number of various occasions; most notably on 2011 Nature Sounds cassette/12" single "Victory Laps" and even more recently, DOOM appeared alongside Ghostface Killah on his BADBADNOTGOOD-produced Sour Soul album on stand-out "Ray Gun." With that said, DOOMSTARKS' end of summer Adult Swim singles series submission, "Lively Hood" duals as the first official single and their unofficial long-awaited return-to-form. It's currently available for FREE download through Adult Swim's on-going Soundcloud singles series playlist, as well as on a limited edition Gas Drawls-pressed piece of "Lively Hood" 7-inch wax, which will reportedly ship on November 15th. Although this isn't exactly the first time Swift & Changeable has been "close" to an allegedly release, Ghostface Killah haphazardly announced it's indeed "coming out [in] 2015" last December during a Reddit AMA. DOOM & Ghostface are somewhat surprisingly scheduled to appear together at Miami's III Points Music Festival that will offer a unique, "one-of-a-kind, interactive performance" where DOOM will be "transported Star Trek-style directly onto the III Points Festival stage," via a live screen "from the other side of time."

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra

3 Feet High & Rising: Band of Bearded Brothers Cellar Door Moon Crow Unleash Rollicking Single "Whistler" from Upcoming Blues Rock EP (Bandcamp, self-released)

Whistler by Cellar Door Moon Crow British Rock 2-piece band Cellar Door Moon Crow mysteriously found and Followed The Witzard (@SharpCheddar856) on Twitter a few months ago. Their Facebook About section simply lists a brief, yet fitting, mission statement: "Band ~ Beards ~ Brothers Goodwin brothers Phil & Tommy . Sheffield, UK " and their accompanying Biography section contains a similar refrain: "Band ^ Beards ^ Brothers," as well as their Bandcamp page. There really isn't much else to be known about twin brothers Phil & Tom Goodwin , aside from the fact that they make infectious, down and dirty Rock "N" Roll —all entirely written, recorded, produced, and mixed in-house by Cellar Door Moon Crow (CDMC) themselves. CDMC 's Bandcamp page often tags their musical output as " British Rock , Rock, Blues Rock , two-piece band, Sheffield " and I would best liken their sound to a stylistic mix between The Black Keys , Thir

Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age.

Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005).
