3 Feet High & Rising: Superet Unleash Glitchy Zane Lowe-premiered "Pay It Later" from LCD Soundsystem, David Bowie & The Bravery-evoking Full-length (Rob The Rich Recordings)

"Superet is an American Rock band that formed in Los Angeles on Valentine's Day of 2016. Tattooed across the arm of singer/guitarist Matt Blitzer, the date marks both the project's genesis and the manifestation of the musical partnership between five close friends," reads a press release I recently received from BB Gun Press. Superet consists of Blitzer, along with keyboard player Alex Fischel, drummer Sam KS, bassist Patrick Kelly, and guitar/keyboard/percussion player Isaac Tamburino, who have previously "collaborated in various iterations over the preceding years;" further detailing that Superet is "the culmination of their long-standing creative kinship." While Superet recently premiered their first single, "Pay It Later," on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 radio show, the majority of their social media sites cryptically read either "Superet is coming..." or "SUPERET IS A BAND." Frontman Matt Blitzer and his fellow bandmates harness a rather unique, joyously frantic Dance-influenced blend of Pop-Punk and Garage Rock on "Pay It Later" and have already been compared to the likes of David Bowie, Roxy Music, LCD Soundsystem, Brian Eno, The Bravery, and early 2000's Dance-Punks The Faint.

"Snatched from the facade of a decrepit Los Angeles church, the Latin word "superet" translates to "may it overflow," an apt description of the reclusive band's modus operandi [M.O.] After quietly stockpiling eccentric, hook-laden Rock gems behind closed doors, the group unveiled its blistering debut single "Pay It Later" in May of 2017. Superet is coming..." continues BB Gun's press release. Last week, Superet wrapped up a string of East Coast and Midwest dates supporting AFI frontman and all of the non-Gwen Stefani members of No Doubt as DREAMCAR behind their maiden voyage in support of their recent self-titled PLOF, LLC/Columbia Records debut. While their is currently no type of formal announcement to be made concerning a Superet full-length on Rob The Rich Recordings—just "Pay It Later," at the moment—I'm assured it's something to look forward to and the staff at BB Gun Press are "all really excited about what's to come..." Later this month, Superet will be heading back out on the road for six dates in support of DREAMCAR (*) once more, Gang of Youths (&) and Dream Machines with Thumpasaurus ($):

• 6/11 at Mississippi Studios in Portland, OR &

• 6/12 at Barboza in Seattle, WA &

"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

[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

Liberty Bell Cracked In 1/2: Ween - "Freedom of '76" (Gene Ween's Final Send-Off)

Chocolate & Cheese (1994) was one of the first albums I bought with my own money. I was in some sort of BMG Music Club , where you'd buy 5 CD's and then get 10 for "FREE." It was all sent through mail order and you picked the titles from some special booklet. I'm almost positive that Chocolate & Cheese's side boob-baring album cover was what initially drew me in... mind you, I was 12-15 and the zany Ween logo/middle finger CD graphic really didn't hurt either. Honestly, I forget how I really felt about it @ the time, but a few years later, my older cousin Josh told me that Ween were this BIG college "jam band." CKY did some sort pf 93.3 radio takeover to promote their new album and played "Freedom of '76" late that night on air. Needless to say, I re-visited Chocolate & Cheese @ about 20-something this go 'round and I fucking loved it! Ween were really weird, yet talented... almost too talented. I can vaguel
