Bandcamp Friday Spotlight: Jumbled Shares Super Mario-themed Run & B. Dolan Gifts Fisher-Price: Free DJ Mix for Bandcamp Listeners

It's Bandcamp Friday once more and like many of you, we woke up to about a hundred new Bandcamp Release Notification emails this morning. Honestly, there are far to many releases out today (and every Bandcamp Friday, for that matter) to spotlight here. Although, there are definitely ways to find and support music from your favorite underground artists, who will be recieving 100% of their total sales today, on Bandcamp today. We're quickly just gonna spotlight two of our personal favorite releases today, which both just go happen to be beat tapes. Run is a new 12-minute mini-beat tape from Baltimore beat-maker Jumbled.

Jumbled says, "this project is a showcase of new beats loosely tied together with sound clips from videos and songs releated to The Super Mario [Bros.] This project may disappear down a Warp Pipe in the near future..." Jumbled had been noticing a lot of Super Mario references in songs he's heard recently and wanted to tie them together with some of his own new beats. He shout-outs to Swet Shop Boys (Heems/Himanshu & Riz Ahmed,) MF DOOM, salk. and TMFSE as inspirations for thuis very project. Jumbled is currently planning to soon self-release new projects from ORSULAK with Eben Dennis and ALYX Ryon.

B. Dolan shares, "Since building a new studio during The Pandemic, I've been streaming weekly and developing a new workflow that involves two turntables and a Serato set-up. It's been a great way to organize and manipulate samples and I've been re-upping on some DJ skills during streaming time in the process. I used to make weekly playlists over at Spotify, but couldn't justify shilling for that wack-a$$ company. Making these mixes weekly and archiving them for Patreon supporters is the way I now make these little mixtapes. I make NO CLAIM to being a DJ. However, you will hear a broad range of music I've been thinking about lately... some of which may later pop up in new forms."

"It's, also, worth mentioning that Patreon Subscribers got another new track this week, and I'm close to releasing one new song a month there. Lots of bonus content going on, but enough plugs. Enjoy this free download for the next three days. After that, this album will be removed from my Collection!" B. Dolan's Fisher-Price: Free DJ Mix for Bandcamp includes selections from Sergio Mendes, David Axelrod, Dizzie Rascal, Little Simz, Eric B. & Rakim, Queen Latifah, Kurtis Blow, Tears for Fears, Schoolly D, A Tribe Called Quest, Roy Ayers, Rage Against The Machine, Percee P & Ekim, Digital Undergound, Zapp, De La Soul, Howlin' Wolf, Marvin Gaye, The Jackson 5, Killer Mike, Bob James, and B. Dolan himself.

"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
