Black Lips [+ Ke$ha?] - "Arabia Mountain" Singles


"She wants us to do a Punk Rock song with her -- She likes Punk Rock. So we're working that... She's come to our shows. Actually, her ex-boyfriend's band, we used to play with all the time - Cheap Time. She used to hang out with normal people like us -- Getting to the top, it's lonely but it's got a killer view!"

- Cole Alexander on Ke$ha, via Pitchfork/Spinner


Black Lips are prepping what can be toted as their impressive Album #6 (roughly a record every year and 3 months) - Arabia Mountain. For the 16-track collection, the Atlanta "Flower Punks" logged studio time with famed producer Mark Ronson... Previously having turned knobs for Amy Winehouse, Wale, Christina Aguilera, Jimmy Fallon, and Dirt McGirt (ODB), the March 2010-Jan. 2011 sessions marked Ronson's first time collaborating with The Lips.
2 of the album's earlier-recorded tracks were laid down with Lockett Pundt (Deerhunter guitarist), with the remaining 14 handled by Ronson. A sampling of each man's handiwork can be viewed above/below - The Pundt production being "Go Out and Get It!" As of June 7th, the entire Arabia Mountain collection will become available for purchase and/or mass consumption, by way of Vice Recordings.

"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...

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...
