Jumbled Shares Classic Rock Breaks, Vol.1 & Tone Lōc-inspired CD-only Just The Singles (Harford & Reckord Tapes)


Just this past Friday was the first Bandcamp Friday of 2021 and to help celebrate the occasion, our favorite Baltimore-based producer, JUmbled (who describes himself as falling "somewhere between Madlib & Mike Watt") returned with a gaggle of goodies: a new project, Classic Rock Breaks, Vol. 1 and a CD-only comp. entitled Just The Singles, as well as resurfaced CD copies of his early Rap/Hip-Hop album, Keep Diggin', Monster Jam, YOU DON'T KNOW?! with bonus cuts, and Bully Preston's The Insult, and cassettes of You Best Not Miss with Lace Berriez and his 2019 instrumental beat tape, Padre.


As stated above, Just The Singles is a Tone Lōc - Lōc-ed After Dark-inspired CD-only comp. featuring Jumbled's collaborative efforts with the likes of ALASKA, Cody Cody Jones, Dot-Com Intelligence, Dwell, salk. Drew Scott, Torito, UllNevaNo, Vans_Westly, and more. For those painfully unaware, the remainder of the aforementioned releases are peviously released Jubled efforts, which have, seemingly, just now, resurfaced in limited physical formats. However, the sole "new" release is something we've been hearing rumblings about for quite some time now; Jumbled's Classic Rock Breaks, Vol. 1 is just as it sounds, a Hip-Hop breaks/loops/chops record boasting samples primarily lifted from well-known Classic Rock bands.


Split apart into two distinct 14+ minute sides, Classic Rock Breaks' song titles seem to suggest Jumbled incorporated samples originally culled from The Jimi Hendrix Experience, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, The Guess Who, ZZ Top, Wings, Rush, Heart, and Uriah Heep, as well as a variety of cinematic sound bites. "Some of my earliest music memories are tied to my older brother. He was a gearhead that loved Classic Rock. Had every Zeppelin album on cassette (even Coda.) When he got a 5-disc CD player, he would let it Shuffle all night–Tom Petty, Bob [Seger, Creedance Clearwater Revival], etc." Jumbled shares within the Bandcamp Description.


"In 2nd grade, when we had to bring in our favorite music to Music Class, I took in Led Zeppelin II. This release is inspired by this. It's almost taboo to sample things so recognizable—most of these are (not so) deep cuts from [some] legendary bands. Grooves that have been stuck in my head for 30+ years. Thanks Chuck," he continues. Jumbled's Class Rock Breaks, Vol. 1 is now avilable for purchase on Bandcamp in both digital and limited edition cassette tape formats, via Harford & Reckord Tapes. Jumbled told us, via email, "this mix will probably disappear after a while..." although, the "Vol. 1" within its title suggests there will be future volumes.

[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
