'i's & SaIGO Re-emerge with Jazz Williams' Apart. EP & Mugwampers' Lime Green Tape Ahead of 717: Part III EP (Mugwampers self-released)



"This tape was made in the span of three days, an impulse to create without over-thinking. "Marcel Duchamp do it how'a wan' it,'" reads the description attached to Mugwampers' latest Bandcamp release, Lime Green Tape. Mugwampers is, of course, a Livingston, Scotland-based Hip-Hop crew consisting of emcees/producers Chris 'i's McCormick & Aaron "SaIGO" Bonnar. In addition to 'i's & SaIGO, McCormick & Bonnar's oft-used recording aliases include Jazz Williams, MoonSnakes, Adder, and my personal favorite, Sebastian Thy Third Baller. Mugwampers have collectively recorded and released music with Hemlock Ernst (Future Islands' Sam Herring,) S.al AKA Safari Al, Emmanuel Coto, WC TANK, cunabear, Uncommon Nasa, billy woods, and Lungmouth, as well as video director and frequent collaborator Joe Eaton. Following the release of their 717: Part II EP this past August, Mugwampers have quietly released a series of non-album/EP Soundcloud-only singles "Inside Britney," Jazz Williams' ".ride out," "Perpetual Burn," "Loner," and "Sh.." which, it appears as though, will soon be collected and properly re-released on a FREE downloadable full-length project later this year.


Now, 'i's & SaIGO have returned with their first proper release(s) of 2019: Jazz Williams' debut "solo" project, Apart. EP, and Mugwampers' aforementioned Lime Green Tape. Both Lime Green Tape and Apart. EP were recorded over a mere number of days in a largely free-associative, stream-of-consciousness freestyle manner. Jazz Williams' Apart. EP showcases production work from Mugwampers ('i's & SaIGO,) 'i's himself, and BearTooth Collective affiliate Unsung, as well as a feature from Aura & Kablo on opener "Anxiety." Mugwampers' Lime Green Tape, on the other hand, was fully produced by 'i's end-to-end with ferocious rhymes throughout from SaIGO, "feature" vocals from Jazz Williams, and additional vocals from Mac-Be on "P.S." Both the Apart. EP & Lime Green Tape are currently available to stream or download on Mugwampers' Bandcamp page on a special Name-Your-Price basis. Next up for 'i's & SaIGO will be their aforementioned FREE Soundcloud-only singles collection, as well as the final installment in Mugwampers' genre-eschewing 717 series, 717: Part III EP.

"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
