Height Keech Returns with "That's A Wrap for Radio Shack" from Forthcoming Album RAW ROUTES (Cold Rhymes Records)


Last we heard from Dan "Height" Keech, he was prepping his 2018 E-40 & B-Legit-style double-mic sonic assault, Computer Rocker, on his very own imprint, Cold Rhymes Records, with partner-in-rhyme, MISTER as a "Featured Emcee" throughout." Prior to Computer Rocker, Height and his crew unleashed THERE ISN'T VERY MICH TIME: 14 ICE-COLD DEVASTATORS FROM COLD RHYMES RECORDS, which boasted choice cuts from their 2018 release schedule: Height-produced Stories of A Made Up Year from Darko The Super, Speak N' Eye's Cypher At The Gates of Dawn, and Kate Ferencz's What Was The World, as well as Param Anand Singh's Psychic Arpeggiator, 808's & Milkshakes from Desperate Band Appreciation Society (Darko & Harvey Cliff MC,) Vans_Westly's Bubble Boy, HEIGHT KEECH 1000: The Tightest Songs 2000-2018, ialive's Don't Do Nothing—one of our personal Favorite Albums of 2018—Year of The Darko Hosted By: Height Keech, and MISTER & CURT CATARACT's cross-continental collaborative effort, Approaching Land.


Now, Height Keech has suddenly returned with the lead-off single from his first proper long-form release of 2019, "That's A Wrap for Radio Shack" from RAW ROUTES. It's an homage to now-defunct American electronics chain, which closed its last remaining physical brick-and-mortar stores during Summer 2017. "That's A Wrap for Radio Shack," actually, starts with a couple warped fragments from old RadioShack commercials, as Height ferociously rhymes, "Back in the day, when Hip-Hop was new, me and my pals start rhymin' was the thing to do / Nobody had the know-how in my neck of the wood, we went to RadioShack to get the cheapest of goods / You could make a 4-track outta plugs and chords, your dad's tape deck, and some Mickey Mouse keyboards..." RAW ROUTES will feature appearances from Illingsworth, MISTER, ialive, Hemlock Ernst, Goldzilla, PT Burnem, Travis Allen, Ashley Alexander, and Emily Slaughter with Additional Tracking by Eddie Logix, Mastering by Carl Saff, Mixing by Brandon Lackey at Lineup Room, and Album Art created by ialive. RAW ROUTES will be widely released on digital album/12-inch vinyl formats on Cold Rhymes Records Monday, September 2, 2019.


"This is Height Keech. I've got good news and bad news. The bad news is that Radio Shack no longer exists. The good news is that my new song, "That's A Wrap for The Radio Shack," is out now. It's the first single from my forthcoming album, Raw Routes, coming out September 2nd on Cold Rhymes Records. You can pre-order the vinyl here. My good pal MISTER shot and edited this video. I hope you can dig it. Thanks for reading.

[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

3 Feet High & Rising: Band of Bearded Brothers Cellar Door Moon Crow Unleash Rollicking Single "Whistler" from Upcoming Blues Rock EP (Bandcamp, self-released)

Whistler by Cellar Door Moon Crow British Rock 2-piece band Cellar Door Moon Crow mysteriously found and Followed The Witzard (@SharpCheddar856) on Twitter a few months ago. Their Facebook About section simply lists a brief, yet fitting, mission statement: "Band ~ Beards ~ Brothers Goodwin brothers Phil & Tommy . Sheffield, UK " and their accompanying Biography section contains a similar refrain: "Band ^ Beards ^ Brothers," as well as their Bandcamp page. There really isn't much else to be known about twin brothers Phil & Tom Goodwin , aside from the fact that they make infectious, down and dirty Rock "N" Roll —all entirely written, recorded, produced, and mixed in-house by Cellar Door Moon Crow (CDMC) themselves. CDMC 's Bandcamp page often tags their musical output as " British Rock , Rock, Blues Rock , two-piece band, Sheffield " and I would best liken their sound to a stylistic mix between The Black Keys , Thir

"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
