KID ACNE Returns with Spectacular Diagnostics-produced "TRANSISTORS" from Upcoming Album NULL & VOID (Lewis Recordings)

"Connect with real life and ditch the Palm Pilot," KID ACNE invites Jaz Kahina & Vandal Savage to power-up. No need to fear Friday The 13th when KID ACNE gets to testing "TRANSISTORS," the first single taken from his new album, NULL & VOID. Joined by East London firebrand Jaz Kahina and Nottingham's Vandal Savage of the infamous VVV syndicate (alongside Juga-Naut & Cappo,) "TRANSISTORS" has Chicago producer Spectacular Diagnostics tuning up bouncy, horn-lead Funk, perfect for the triumvirate to pump out a posse cut applying "higher science to the microphone appliance." Don't believe the hype? Check the opening sample of The Green Eyed Bandit, veteran emcee Erick Sermon, setting The South Yorks agenda. NULL & VOID, KID ACNE's fifth album and his first for London behemoths Lewis Recordings, promises a continuation of Hip-Hop delivering the mind-bending with unique everyman knowhow.

Spectacular Diagnostics (Conway The Machine, HU$ KINGPIN, Vic Spencer, WestsideGunn) is back on the boards for KID ACNE's latest magical mystery tour, cutting the shackles of screen time and heading back to the great (socially-distanced) outdoors with a fresh batch of wavy, chaos theorising Boom-Bap. Found playing in post-Millennium RAP TRAFFIC and pouring COUNCIL POP before plotting to ATTACK THE MONOLITH as part of B-boy outsiders MONGRELS, KID ACNE's 2019 opus, HAVE A WORD, had The Wire waxing lyrical over the album's slick, classically Hip-Hop sensibilities. MOJO & DJ Magazine shared the enthusiasm, all while BBC 6 Music's Nemone, The Clash/Big Audio Dynamite affiliate Don Letts, Gilles Peterson, Gideon Coe, and Chris Hawkins nodded in agreement. These shrewd maneuvers forever putting an individual spin on keeping it real, run parallel with his stalwart status within the international Street Art movement, KIS ACNE's prominence across wall space, continents, and exhibitions stretching past two decades.

"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
