World Around Records Affiliate Elder Orange Shares Genre-eschewing Solo Debut All My Friends Believe In Ghosts (SOUL PRISM MUSIC)

Elder Orange is the recording alias of Vermont-based producer, multi-instrumentalist, and "all around nice guy" Matt Scott (@MatthewLScott.) For years, Scott had a long-standing working relationship with international collective/Indie Hip-Hop label World Around Records, until the imprint's demise in 2016. World Around issued a number of collaborative releases featuring Elder Orange alongside Dr. Quandary and Louis Mackey, as well as tracks appearing on We Are World Around, Vol. 5-6. Matt Scott splits his time between Elder Orange and North East Kingdom Soul/R&B/Jazz/Funk/Rock quartet The NEKTones, in which he provides gtr. vox. AKA guitar and vocals. While Scott has released and participated in countless projects, he just liberated his proper debut album, All My Friends Believe In Ghosts (AMFBIG,) this past Friday, June 1st, which was also, his father's 64th birthday and Scott's first day on leave from his job of eight years to pursue music full time. Almost instantly referred to by Dr. Quandary (@quandary) as "a really beautiful & singular piece of work," All My Friends Believe In Ghosts is now available as either a 12-track album or one continuous 31-minute single-track mix. I've honestly, only listened to "All My Friends Believe In Ghosts" (Continuous Mix) and it's really a flawless, genre-less mood-evoking listen!

Elder Orange plays electric and acoustic guitars, fretted and fretless bass, Casiotone, Minilogue, Fender Rhodes, AKAI Timbre Wolf, AKAI Rhythm Wolf, UVI Soft Synths, congas, percussion, drum kit, and drum programming, as well as vocal clicks, ah's, and whistles throughout All My Friends Believe In Ghosts; while Louis Mackey provided additional drum programming on "Metaphysic Syncretism," Adam Turner played acoustic drums and percussion throughout, Heather Sommerlad contributed violin on "With One Finger," Alex Wolston plays trumpet on "With One Finger," and Dr. Quandary provided drum programming on "With One Finger." Recommended listening scenarios for All My Friends Believe In Ghosts, courtesy of Matt Scott himself: "AMFBIG was written pretty specifically for pairing with car rides, freestyle sessions, headphone listening, and hanging out with your closest people. If you find another scenario, where the sound *works* for you, let me know; I'd love to try it out!" All My Friends Believe In Ghosts is now available to purchase or stream on Bandcamp, as well as Spotify, in either 12-track or "All My Friends Believe In Ghosts" (Continuous Mix) formats. Elder Orange has stated, any more made during the sale of this project will go towards CD/tape/vinyl duplication and new gear for NEW SOUNDS on his next record. Scott also adds: "if you're into features and collaborations—let's dance!" I, personally, wouldn't mind hearing a remixed, re-worked, and tastefully re-envisioned version of Elder Orange's All My Friends Believe In Ghosts!

"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...
