Body Spray Return with 2 Rippin' New Singles "Still Swollen" & "New Smell" from Music to Fall Down To (St. Body Spray Day Release Show)

Body Spray (@BodySprayStinks) are a South Philly-based Noise Rock/"Hoagie"-core band consisting of frontman Dan Haddigan, bassist Adam Black, drummer Ian Kiesel, and guitarist Eric Kenney. Their Bandcamp page boasts: "We met in a bowling league. We rolled together and then, we Rocked together!" For a Punk/Hardcore-adjacent band, Body Spray are surprisingly active on social media; regularly maintaining and updating their own Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter pages. Since first seeing Body Spray's set at Pissed Jeans' WHY LOVE NOW? Record Release Show at Boot & Saddle back in March of 2017 with M Ax Noi Mach, I've been frequently corresponding with Adam & Ian, I believe, on the band's Twitter page and through email. Although, I've been listening to Body Spray's phenomenal 2016 Hell EP for, at least, a year or so now, I've known they've had a proper full-length looming ahead for just as long. Said album, phenomenally-named, Music to Fall Down To, has now been fully realized, as Body Spray announced its sheer existence just before The New Year with an "Edgy" new music video. Now, just a couple weeks out from the album's proper March 17th release, Body Spray have let loose 2 new rippers from Music to Fall Down To: Track #04 "Still Swollen" and Track #09 "New Smell" upon the terribly unsuspecting music-loving world.

Just solely based off these 3 pre-release singles, I would preemptively liken Body Spray's Music to Fall Down To to something along the lines of Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, Iggy & The Stooges, and fellow Philadelphians Pissed Jeans. Frontman Dan Haddigan possesses a menacing sneer reminiscent of fellow Punk/Hardcore wailers Henry Rollins, Jello Biafra, Matt Korvette, and, of course, The Godfather of Punk himself, Iggy Pop. So, basically, this band is THE SH*T and you should definitely check out their current "catalog"—Hell EP and Peter Frampton-rippin' demo, BODY SPRAY Comes Alive!—on Bandcamp as soon as humanly possible! Body Spray will, actually, be hosting their very own Record Release Show for Music to Fall Down To at Ortlieb's on Sunday, March 17, 2019, otherwise known as St. Patrick's Day or this year, "St. Body Spray Day," with openers Plot & Table and plenty of "green" beer to go 'round. Music to Fall Down To is currently available for pre-order from Body Spray's Bandcamp page in a limited edition 12-inch vinyl package, complete with basketball-themed artwork, in a variety of "Randomly Colored" 150 gram vinyl. It sounds like Body Spray plans to unleash 2 more music videos, at some point, leading up to Music to Fall Down To's wide release...

"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...
