Grand Invincible Announce First-ever Digital Re-issues of COLD HAND IN THE DICE GAME & WINTER 365 EP (Megakut Records)



Grand Invincible is a California-based 2-man Hip-Hop crew featuring emcee Luke Sick and esteemed producer/turntablist DJ Eons One. Luke Sick AKA J. Luke Oakson & Clell Miller owns and operates Punk/Hip-Hop imprint, Megakut Records. While DJ Eons One AKA Dan Lactose was once a founding member of Hip-Hop-loving Powerviolence band, SPAZZ and has his own small-batch imprint called Tinted Windows Record Co. Both DJ Eons One & Luke Sick have released countless records under an infinite amount of aliases, but together, they've released three albums and three singles/EP's as Grand Invincible between about 2008-15. Ask The Dust (2008) was self-released by Grand Invincible themselves, 2010's COLD HAND IN THE DICE GAME was released on Zero Friends, and Menace Mode was released on super-limited cassette by Luke's own Megakut Records. Amidst this aforementioned series of releases, Luke Sick & DJ Eons One unleashed WINTER 365 as both a 2-track 7-inch and expanded 9-track CD-R EP on SPAZZ drummer Max "625" Ward's 625 Thrashcore, a Megakut cassingle with "Go Fast Boats" B/W "Napalm," and "Purse Thieves" & "The Style Is Bonkers" B/W "Elephant Tranq" 12-inch on Zero Friends. Now, nearly 10 years later, Luke Sick & DJ Eons One have once again, joined forces—their self-tilted CCCRRCCSSLLRRKKRRSSS CD-R was unleashed in 2017—for proper re-issues/re-releases of both Grand Invincible's COLD HAND IN THE DICE GAME & WINTER 365 EP.


Earlier this week, Megakut Records announced plans to release Grand Invincible's beloved 2010-12 short-run releases digitally for the first time ever; "the G.I. movement [is] based on the philosophy that Hip-Hop as an artform was best served under the technological limitations of the late 80's and early 90's and the best Hip-Hop records were made made using records," boasts a newly-minted Bandcamp description. Megakut Records' WINTER 365 digital re-issue features 2 tracks from the original 2012 625 Thrashcore orange 7-inch, as well as 5 previously unreleased songs and 2 BONUS instrumentals, all from the Megakut CD EP. Grand Invincible's COLD HAND IN THE DICE GAME is currently available digitally for the first time ever on Megakut Records' Bandcamp page; G.I.'s sophomore album is, also, still available in the original 2010 Zero Friends CD version complete with a fold-out screen-printed poster of artist Eric Kneeland's "full-octopus" print. There are currently 4 (of 15) SOLD OUT Ultra-Limited Art Packages available, as well, which includes: "1 CHITDG CD, 1 "Purse Thieves" B/W "Elephant Tranq" 12-inch vinyl (sleeve "bombed" with artwork and slaps by various writers from Lords/UM all 1/1's), 2 CHITDG square pins, 1 of 60 original hand-made screen-prints of Eric Kneeland's album cover art, and 1 Lords/UM random sticker pack." According to Mega Kut's Facebook page, Luke Sick plans to release NOT ONE, BUT TWO brand spankin' new Grand Invincible projects, tentatively titled, The Results EP (All SP-404) & Demolition Strictly LP, dropping at some point throughout 2019.

"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...
