Eerie Hardcore Punk Super-group Human Animal Share First New Single of 2023 with "LimonCello Fellow" (Surprise Attack Records)

Human Animal is an Erie, Pennsylvania-based Hardcore Punk band consisting of Eric Michael Schauffele AKA E.M.S., Robert Williams AKA Bob/Bobby, Ryan Zimmerman AKA Baby Boy, Adam Salaga AKA Firefly, and newest addition Kyle Bull. Amongst them, Human Animal's members have previously played, made, or recorded music with Brother's Keeper/Sumthin' to Prove, Empty Promises, Smoke & Mirrors, The A.K.A.'s, Thick As Thieves, Pray for A Fallen Angel, Deadhorse, Phases, Anchor, xDisciplex A.D., Jesus Wept, Bushido Code, xRepresentx, Domestic War, Shockwave, and Stretch Arm Strong. Human Animal seemingly formed within the early months of 2012, as they issued their inaugural release, "Swine Flu," on CD/CD-ROM with initial five-person line-up of frontman E.M.S., bassist Ryan Zimmerman, drummer Bob Williams, guitarist Adam Salaga, and now-former second guitarist Nate Black. Soon after, Human Animal released "Swine Flu" as part of their debut EP, Dark Days, on Holy Mountain Music in 2013.

Human Animal next shared splits with Wreckage & Additional Time on Head2Wall Records and Germany's Demons Run Amok Entertainment, respectively, throughout 2014. Panda Claw Records/Bound By Modern Age issued The First Four Winters in 2016 re-collecting Human Animal's aforementioned releases, plus, a handful of new or as-yet-unreleased tracks. Human Animal appeared on BVZ Radio for a live 30-minute set and in-studio interview, which were packaged together as Live On BVZ Radio on cassette tape in 2016. Human Animal self-released their debut full-length, False Realities, on E.M.S.' own Surprise Attack Records in a multitude of vinyl colors and assorted packages in 2020. Human Animal have since released a number of charasmatic covers throughout 2021-22, including xDisciplex A.D.'s "Two-Faced" and Brother's Keeper's "x Hardcore Song x" both released digitally, as well as on super-limited edition five and six-inch vinyl. Now, Human Animal have returned (just in time for March Madness!) with their first sonic offering of 2023: "LimonCello Fellow."

Human Animal shared on their site back in February that "LimonCello Fellow" would be their "first new music of 2023!!! 2 minutes of circle pit, fist-pumping fury. Complete with Adam's best solo work yet. This is just the start of our upcoming new stuff for the year. Lots more surprises in store." It appears as though "LimonCello Fellow" is the first piece of official recorded output to feature Human Animal's newly-added second guitarist Kyle Bull. According to another post on Human Animal's site at the tail-end of 2022, they "recorded 4 new songs down at Cerebral Studios outside of Pittsburgh, which haven't been released just yet (very very soon!)"—we're just gonna guess "LimonCello Fellow" is one of those four! "Just last week we wrapped up vocals on another new cover song to be released next year," Human Animal's 2022 wrap-up post continued. So, stay tuned for new music from Human Animal this year! For now, "LimonCello Fellow" is available on your streaming service of choice, via Surprise Attack Records.

"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...
