Spank Rock Calls Out... Everything & Everyone on New Single - "Energy."


Indie Rockers and Hip-Hoppers alike, mark Sept. 27th down in your datebooks. That [early] Fall Tues. is when the gap will be bridged between Spank Rock's debut and sophomore albums. Affectionately dubbed "Everything Is Boring and Everyone Is a Fucking Liar," Album #2 has secretly been in-the-works since about 2006 (YoYoYoYoYo).
@ the time of its inception, the Philly/Baltimore collective included Spank Rock (Naeem Juwan), XXXchange, Amanda Blank, DJ Ronnie Darko, and Chris Devlin. The current incarnation seems to only include MC Spank Rock... while the collection's collaborators include the likes of Pharrell/The Neptunes, executive prod. Boys Noize, Sam Spiegel (N.A.S.A's own "Squeak E. Clean"), Crystal Castles, Santigold, Big Freeda, Chris Rockswell, and once again, XXXchange.

Spank Rock - "Energy" (Boys Noize)


Between albums Juwan focused his labors on miscellaneous side-projects, crafting "Conceptual Italo-Disco" with Mobroder and Bangers & Cash EP alongside Benny Blanco... and a handful of varied genre-spanning features.
Again, Spank Rock's very own label (Bad Blood Records) will liberate Everything Is Boring and Everyone Is a Fucking Liar this coming Sept. 27th. Boys Noize was commissioned to man production duties on the first single, "Energy" - A track which features a sample pulled from Can's 1972 Hit Krautrock Single, "Vitamin C" @ its heart. Head on over to Pitchfork and enter your email address in the nifty little widget to receive a FREE mp3 download. A companion "Energy" Lyrics Sheet can be viewed @ Spank Rock's Day-Glo website.

"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...

Jet Planes, Islands, Tigers On a Gold Leash: Lorde - "Royals" (The Weeknd Remixo)

I think it's pretty safe to say that The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye) comfortably teeters the fine line between glitched-out smooth New Age R&B and hard-hitting Hip-Hop ; while the same could arguably be said for 16-year-old New Zealand new-comer, Lorde . Her break-out single "Royals" 1/2 jokingly shouts out semi-common bravado-worthy shit like: diamonds, "gold teeth, Grey Goose ... Cadillacs, Cristal, Maybach ... jet planes, islands, [and] tigers on a gold leash." But now, the Lorde/Weeknd connection has been further solidified, as Tesfaye recently managed to conjure up and release his own "Royals" remix. My beautiful girlfriend said earlier, and I paraphrase, that it "makes her wanna dance lol and she could [likely] hear this remix in a future movie!" Following the wide-spread release of her first 2 EP's (Love Club & Tennis Court) , Universal Republic plans to unleash Lorde 's proper debut album, Pure Heroine between ...

Pop Artist & Surfer Chronicle Intriguing Ex-Pornstar In "SASHA GREY."

Seemingly made to co-exist as thought-provoking companion pieces... "LINDSAY LOHAN" directors Richard Phillips & Taylor Steele are back with their most recent Art Presentation, "SASHA GREY." The 90-second short film was shot in early May @ John Lautner Chemosphere House in Los Angeles, CA. Both striking flicks will be shown on a giant floating video screen [ "Commercial Break" ] @ Garage Center for Contemporary Culture in Venice, Italy (June 1-5). "Adult acting chops" aside, Sasha (23) seems very intelligent, captivating, free-spirited, business savvy, well-mannered, charming... and dare I say, "average." And I really think that's exactly what Phillips/Steele were trying to convey throughout the course of the piece; Grey's beauty, public draw, sheer likeability, and honesty will surely take her very far in future endeavors... Solidifying her [updated] image as a true "Pop Culture Figure." * Featured soundtra...
