Brycon, G-Pek, Argonaut, B.I. Lectric, BeatsMe, The Architect, Fatees & DJ Eons One Return with There's No More Room In Hell 6 (I Had An Accident)

Well, it's that spook-tacular time of year again wherein nearly every working musician decides to suddenely drop a ghoulish new batch of msuic THE DAY before Halloween. Now, don't get us wrong, we LOVE it... but it's just too much music for a one-man operation,s uch as ourselves to cover in just one day. So, expect another Halloween-centric feature either this weekend or early next week right here on these pages of The Witzard. We've been covering Halloween-adjacent content here for the better part of the past two weeks. However, today, just in time for your Halloween Weekend festivities, we're back with a brand spankin' new feature on one of our favorite artists: Brycon. For those unaware, every year around this time Brycon and his fellow producer/DJ G-Pek recruit a bunch of their beat-minded friends and peers to partake in their annual There's No More Room In Hell Halloween beat tape series.

This year's There's No More Room In Hell 6 is, quite obviously, the sixth installment in said series; it features eight separate tracks concocted by eight different artists. This year's crew of merry misfits includes (in order of appearance) Agronaut, B.I. Lectric, Brycon, BeatsMe, The Architect, DJ Eons One, Fatees, and G-Pek. Additionally, a statement we recieved, via Twitter Messenger, from Brycon himself further details There's No More Room In Hell 6 "also, [features] Vito Beats & Yung Cole. This only slightly terrifying compilation is dope, but, also, extra-dope in that in brings together Bay Area crews Gurp City, Children of The Funk, Disflex6, and KRWN JWLZ."

As usual, all of the involved parties here bring the heat with some seriously infectious fright-filled instrumental beats. While our old favorites, Brycon, DJ Eons One, and G-Pek shine here, as usual, it's the newcomers that really shine through on There's No More Room In Hell 6. For example, BeatsMe's stand-out, "Pseudocide" evokes notes MADVILLAINY and even seems to have sonic allusions to MF DOOM. There's No More Room In Hell 6 cassette tapes are currently sold out from Brycon's Bandcamp page, but a limited number of copies are still available directly from I Had An Accident. Brycon's next proper releases, The Cleansing with Amani Jade and Brutalism (EP) will become widely avilable on 11/1 and 11/11, respectively.

"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...
