ialive & The Custodian of Records Join Forces for Non-album/Stand-alone Collaborative Single "INTERVALS (Cold Rhymes Records)

"We got something special for you today. ialive & The Custodian of Records teamed up to bring you this one-off gentle heat. Make it rain on the boys with half dollars," Cold Rhymes Records ecstatically posted on their Facebook page early Tuesday morning. ialive & The Custodian of Records' (TCOR) debut collaborative stand-alone single together, "INTERVALS," was quietly released late Monday night into Tuesday morning. It appears as though "INTERVALS" came to fruition rather organically, as ialive & The Custodian of Records are, simply, fans and mutual admirers of each other's work; "I believe, I reached out to ialive after peeping "THE OUGHTS" video and then, purchasing TIME WAVE ZERO and enjoying the album. He may have expressed interest in a possible collaboration, so I sent him a couple tracks and this is the one he chose," TCOR recently explained to The Witzard, via email.

"Custo hit me a while back about doing a track together and he sent me this loop and we went in. I heard a track he did with Darko [The Super] and also, a project with my guy, Sleep Sinatra, so I was aware of his work. Glad we could connect to do a track together," ialive continued. TCOR & ialive are, of course, talking about each other's respective projects, Height Keech-produced TIME WAVE ZERO, Qwuickieleaks Challenge: Darko The Super - "Bike Spokes," and SOURCES OF NATURE with emcee Sleep Sinatra. The Witzard regulars may well remember, we first covered The Custodian of Records & Sleep Sinatra's pre-SOURCES OF NATURE collaboration, "B.I.E." Prior to "B.I.E." TCOR & Sleep Sinatra previously worked together on the awesomely-named "Anchorman Fight Scene" alongside Vic Spencer from Flashius Clayton's 2018 EP, Wolf Moon. "INTERVALS" is currently available to stream, purchase, or download for just $0.50 directly from ialive's Bandcamp page, while TCOR's The Collection Plate, Vol. 1 and ialive's DON'T DO NOTHING are now available from Chopped Herring Records and Cold Rhymes Records, respectively.

"F*ck this woe is me /
How can we openly /
Move on as a society /
without respect for the ovary /
Riding this broken dream /
Hoping the oceans clean /
But never sowing seeds /
Just blowing trees, like Dopamine /
Blowing trees like fires gone wild /
And I ain't never smoke, not once in a while /
And I don't ever hope, since I retired /
It got [too] much to cope, when rope is required /
I keep quiet and try to keep on /
And go all night like closed signs in neon /
You ain't a professional, you ain't no Leon /
Best open eyes and do your recon /
'cause it's coming as wide as your peripherals /
Higher than the ceiling and liver than your visuals /
Dividing us up like old religious rituals /
Finding the time is tougher than fighting off the sentinels /
F*ck Joe Biden, MacGyver, and these criminals /
I'm looking for an island in my mind to spend the interval /
violence and the rising tide a sign of where were getting to /
Where [we're] coming from and where [we're] heading to..."

"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
