"Knowledge Without Mileage Equals Bullsh*t:" Nihilist Punk-Rapper JE DOUBLE F Unveils "JAGGED EDGE" from June Album, HUMAN RITES (American Scream Records)

"Fast, chaotic songs with no frills. Heavy touring schedule and DIY ethics; if Danzig met DOOM, you'd have JE DOUBLE F," reads a fragmented chunk of a recent press release I received from Atlantic City, NJ-based Punk rapper JE DOUBLE F. Jeff Richie has previously worked with Pittsburgh emcee Cody Jones (formerly Stillborn Identity), fronts a Nihilist New Wave/Punk band called TUFF TURF, and was recently cited by Static Brothers' Riff Quantum & DJ DM as a primary source of influence on their latest OBSTETRIC TRASH EP. Richie readily cites his own greatest sources of influence as Glenn Danzig, Bruce Campbell, Larry David, and Bruce Springsteen. "'JAGGED EDGE" is mainly influenced by the current political and social climate in the United States. People make a choice and then complain about the result, as if someone made that decision for them. "Personal responsibility" is considered a bad term and young people seem to love the government, expecting it to protect them from everything. People also seem to be fabricating oppression, while silencing anyone with an opposing opinion. My jagged edge is my mind—I don't think like others and I don't believe a f**king word anyone says. If someone asks me a pointed question, expect an answer that you may not like. [Henry Rollins once said,] "knowledge without the mileage equals bullsh*t," JE DOUBLE F further detailed within a recent email concerning his sources of influence and inspiration on upcoming American Scream Records album, HUMAN RITES.

HUMAN RITES, "15 new Nihilist Punk anthems," is currently available for pre-order from JE DOUBLE F's own American Scream Records; for the extremely reasonable one-time fee of $16.66, eager listeners will relieve a 6-panel digipak CD, "JAGGED EDGE" raven T-shirt, assorted stickers, and album digital download from American Scream's newly-updated Bandcamp page. Jeff Richie recounts that "Glenn Danzig is an incredible singer and song-writer who never made music that sounded like others. His music always has heart and balls, no Bubblegum garbage. DOOM for the same reasons—he always made interesting beats that sounded like no one else's. I honestly don't listen to a ton of Rap anymore. DOOM is one of the only rappers I listen to anymore." While JE DOUBLE F currently calls Atlantic City home, he was actually, oddly enough, born and raised in my hometown of Bridgeton/Vineland, NJ. He's amongst a select few talented emcees from Cumberland County I can recall encountering over the years: Awkward Silence/Zombie Gang, Sapwood spitter Jason Brownies, Cheezy & The Crackers, and ever-illusive Mr. Moot. I can personally attest that I've heard a pre-release advanced copy of HUMAN RITES (ahead of its impending June release) and it truly is entirely unlike anything I've ever heard before; it really does sound like something along the lines of an unholy hybrid of The Misfits or Samhain-era Glenn Danzig juxtaposed against DOOM's uncanny and ever-inventive flow from Madlib-produced MADVILLAINY. HUMAN RITES pre-orders 1-50/50 are expected to ship out on or around May 1st, ahead of JE DOUBLE F's currently unspecified June 2017 American Scream Records release.

[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

"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
