Peanut Butter Lovesicle Frontman Timmy Miller Continues to Piece Together The 303 Construct with Acoustic-driven "Missing Pieces" & Reggae-indebted "Thinkin' Bout It" (self-released)



"'Missing Pieces" is more of an interlude type track. I had the acoustic guitar part for about a year and I came up with the backing vocals around the same time, but nothing creatively really came to me after that. A couple months ago, I re-visited the track and since recording it, a keyboard came into my life, so I decided to try some different sounds overtop of what already existed. The second half of the song has a heavier Electronic beat with the same first verse vocal and I really like the switch up from acoustic to heavier Electronic—it's very interesting to me and although it's a short one, I like what it does from beginning to end."

- Timmy Miller on Friday's "Missing Pieces"

Ocean City, New Jersey native, Timmy Miller, who has since re-located to Denver, Colorado and started working for the National Park Service, released two more tracks from his forthcoming solo debut, The 303 Construct this past NEW MUSIC FRIDAY; "Missing Pieces" and "Thinkin' Bout It" are actually the third and fourth tracks from what's shaping up to be quite an eclectic mix of Reggae, Funk, Hip-Hop, R&B, and guitar-accented Rock. "'Thinkin' Bout It," for me, is a favorite style-wise, but definitely one of my biggest strays out of my comfort zone. I love Reggae and always wanted to record a Reggae-style tune but this track definitely takes more of an R&B/Hip-Hop feel with the straight beat hi-hat, as opposed to some syncopated Reggae rhythm you would hear on any of the classic Roots Reggae bands like Culture or [Toots & The Maytals]," Miller fittingly described Friday's fourth released track. "This song was conjured up starting with the bassline and I immediately knew I wanted it to carry a sexy vibe, the bassline reminded me of some [Ginuwine] 90's R&B song... but I have no idea which one. The more I played around with the vocal ideas, it became very apparent to me that the vocal also needed more of a sexy storyline approach to it and also that a Dub-style delay was going to be needed in parts. I really wanted it to take on some Sublime-esque moments," Peanut Butter Lovesicle's frontman continued. It's currently unclear exactly when (or if) The 303 Construct will be released in complete full-length form, but for the time being, it appears as though Timmy Miller intends to unleash a track or two each Friday afternoon; so, with that said, stay tuned to this space in the coming weeks, as it'll be interesting to see and hear how this all unfolds!

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . 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). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of...

Jet Planes, Islands, Tigers On a Gold Leash: Lorde - "Royals" (The Weeknd Remixo)

I think it's pretty safe to say that The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye) comfortably teeters the fine line between glitched-out smooth New Age R&B and hard-hitting Hip-Hop ; while the same could arguably be said for 16-year-old New Zealand new-comer, Lorde . Her break-out single "Royals" 1/2 jokingly shouts out semi-common bravado-worthy shit like: diamonds, "gold teeth, Grey Goose ... Cadillacs, Cristal, Maybach ... jet planes, islands, [and] tigers on a gold leash." But now, the Lorde/Weeknd connection has been further solidified, as Tesfaye recently managed to conjure up and release his own "Royals" remix. My beautiful girlfriend said earlier, and I paraphrase, that it "makes her wanna dance lol and she could [likely] hear this remix in a future movie!" Following the wide-spread release of her first 2 EP's (Love Club & Tennis Court) , Universal Republic plans to unleash Lorde 's proper debut album, Pure Heroine between ...

Pop Artist & Surfer Chronicle Intriguing Ex-Pornstar In "SASHA GREY."

Seemingly made to co-exist as thought-provoking companion pieces... "LINDSAY LOHAN" directors Richard Phillips & Taylor Steele are back with their most recent Art Presentation, "SASHA GREY." The 90-second short film was shot in early May @ John Lautner Chemosphere House in Los Angeles, CA. Both striking flicks will be shown on a giant floating video screen [ "Commercial Break" ] @ Garage Center for Contemporary Culture in Venice, Italy (June 1-5). "Adult acting chops" aside, Sasha (23) seems very intelligent, captivating, free-spirited, business savvy, well-mannered, charming... and dare I say, "average." And I really think that's exactly what Phillips/Steele were trying to convey throughout the course of the piece; Grey's beauty, public draw, sheer likeability, and honesty will surely take her very far in future endeavors... Solidifying her [updated] image as a true "Pop Culture Figure." * Featured soundtra...
