Cody Cody Jones & ialive Return to Form As Cool Code & Don with Animated New Single "Featuring The Muppet Men" (Cold Rhymes Records)

Donovan Days (ialive) & Cody Cody Jones, otherwise known as Cool Code & Don

Cool Code & Don are a rapper/producer-rapper consisting of Cody Cody Jones (Cool Code) hailing from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and ialive AKA Donovan Days (Don) from Philly. These two sharp-tongued fellas both run in the same East Coast Indie Rap with shared connections to Darko The Super, Height Keech, andrew., Jumbled, C $ Burns, The Hell Hole Store, Cold Rhymes Records, and U DONT DESERVE THIS BEAUTIFUL ART. ialive & Cody Cody Jones have collaborated on a number of occasions on loose singles, one-offs, and things of that nature; however, their big coming out as duo was 2017's Four to The Floor. It was essentially a split EP boasting four Cody Cody Jones tracks (one, featuring ialive) and four ialive-led tracks (one, featuring Cody Cody Jones) on the flip side.

Cool Code & Don did it again a few months later in 2017 with aptly-named Four to The Floor 2 showcasing a very similar format. Both Four to The Floor 1-2 were accompanied by four-days jaunts with "your best boys," Cody Cody Jones & ialive, with 25 super-limited edition cassette tapes pressed up specifically for their tours. Just a few years later, Cody Cody Jones & ialive re-emerged with their proper collaborative full-length, titled COOL CODE & DON because, of course, on Cold Rhymes Records in 2020. It was entirely written and performed by ialive & Jones, produced, mixed, and artwork design by ialive, and features throughout from GooGiE, andrew. and B. Rude. Now, it's a couple more years later and Cool Code & Don have returned once more with "Featuring The Muppet Men."

Just this past weekend, ialive & Cody Cody Jones shared the stand-alone track on Bandcamp along with this accompanying statement: "Cool Code came out to Philly in the summer of '21 for our good friend, andrew.'s wedding. We hung out, biked, skated (tried) and hit the studio. Without the pressure to fulfill album requirements, we could really have fun, make each other laugh and do some dumb sh*t. What's more fun than recruiting a choir gang of surly Muppet Men to sing your chorus? Not a whole lot." This go-'round was written and performed by Cool Code & Don, produced, recorded, mixed, and mastered by ialive at Emma's House in East Falls, Philadelphia with artwork by andrew. "Mo" Milicia and additional vocals supplied by The Muppet Men.

We reached out directy to our buddy Donovan "Donnie" Days AKA ialive over the weekend, who told us: "Oh, you bet'cha. Cody [Cody Jones] connected an earthquake strap to the expansion joint, which was already down to the rebar. It was such an undertaking because he's a Capricorn and me, an Aquarius. Little did we know about the 7:3 ratio. Boy, were we in for a ride. After that was leveled out using agar putty, we could keep the chorus." ialive continued, "Before that, it was quailed up something awful. I quailed it back, maybe, three or four decibels, which is where it currently lives, but birds are a hard sell. Maybe, this is all too technical, but it's where my head is at these days. If we could salvage a pit stain for future use, I'm all about it. Really, all for it. Especially, when my socials are devoid of any grammar. Muppet grease I find works wonders. That and cigarettes." ialive & Cody Cody Jones' "Featuring The Muppet Men" is now available on Cold Rhymes Records, along with COOL CODE & DON. Who knows exactly what these two have in store for us next, but we can assure you, it's gonna continue to be one wild ride!

[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

"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
