HEAVY PERSUASION

Honestly I know I post the Mac on here like every other month but youtube is plentiful and I've got the time and you've got the money. Just for the record Mic Fleetwood is NOT wearing carny makeup!!! He is actually this strung out I think. I also can't tell if the stagehand pouring beer into his mouth from behind the china bells is supposed to be serious or funny. I think serious? Also peep the look Buckingham shoots Nicks at 2:50. I think it translates to "I'm going to choke you the fuck out in a few weeks". I would take him seriously he is dressed like a Quaker. I gathered some other goodies too:

PRETTY SURE YOU CAN'T START A SET OFF MORE BRUTAL THAN THIS

"VISUAL WRITIN OR SOME SHIT LIKE DAT"

NYHC was always pretty much straight up funny for me even in the 90s where alot of this shit got the get out jail free card. But 1:50 of this straight up rules. Dude in beater, puerto rican necklace, wearing a straight up East Pack. I guess I missed this. And for that I can thank those internets.

SCOTTSMALLIN.COM: ABSOLUTE BEAST

If you listen closely you can still hear Dot Coms Southern Drawl cutting through this Saturday Morning cartoons voice.

PUT THE METER BACK ON

It's weird when I came to the realization last nite that Bickle is also 26 in Taxi Driver and how relevant that seems these days. Not saying I am going to go hunt street hustlers and pimps or anything but this transaction here REALLY SUMS UP 26 FOR ME METAPHORICALLY SPEAKING.

SPEED KNOTS ALL OVER YOUR HEAD

Off the strength of Bishop's comment about 50 sounding weird on War Angel I had to queue it up for myself. He sounds weird alright. How you like that Todd Macfarlan cover?? Looking like the cover of a Sega CD release. 50 has about 10 different voices now. His hooks have become more transexual than ever. Totally gender bender. It sounds like there are a lot of features but I think it's just him. Maybe a side effect of getting shot in the mouth I would imagine. I dunno, I like everything post Get Rich or Die Trying cept for The Massacre and I think this is the strongest release yet! Also check COCAINE with Robin Thicke on the chorus, you know, Alan Thicke's son that must have been exposed to Jamiriquie at an early age. Disses about niggas with mohawks and skinny jeans all intact.

There is a strong push for THE FIRST DAY FAMILY FESTIVAL in the projects on this also. I think this is the Bonaroo of WIC, anyone wanna go?? August 30. Curtis recommends you get your haircut for it.

MAD DOG GOD DAM

A lot of people don't know there is a second Hollywood.
Hollywood, Florida.
It is kind of like the same thing except the most famous person is Dan Marino. Ok that's totally not the same thing at all. But you know what I mean, the tans are bad and the people are trashy.

I lived on Hollywood Beach in a hotel paid for by the US Government when I was a kid. My mom's second husband (I list second because it's third now) had some kind of Secret Service type job that I didn't know much about let alone care much about at the time that had moved us down there for a few years.



I was stoked on this because the Hollywood Beach Hotel was down the street from my cousin Brian who lived with my uncle Mike who looked like David Lee Roth. Uncle Mike ran down the strip of Hollywood Beach everyday with his shirt off, leather skin gleaming in the sun. I bet he is still doing that and the leather is just more damaged. Actually I wonder what happened to COUSIN BRIAN come to think of it. He is probably really serious with kids and an addiction to the Miami Dolphins where as my version of 26 is posting on Twitter about bad Pink Panther tattoos and Steely Dan.

There was and I'm sure still is not shit to do on Hollywood Beach. There was an arcade and a movie theatre painted Pink. Not sassy pink but faded Miami 70's pink. I saw Cool Runnings there. We stayed in a suite on the top floor and I made shitty drawing in a ratty sketch pad I had trying to be Jim Lee or something. At the time I didn't know I was destined to make bad music instead of bad drawings. Someone recently told me about how that area and Pembroke Pines, where I would later live, is now a huge booming commercial district instead of it's previous incarnation as a backdrop to Scarface.

I was thinking on checking into the Hollywood Beach Hotel sometime but that kind of full circle may blow my fucking mind too much. Uncle Mike if you are reading this hit me up I wanna go on a run and I'm sorry that I called you David Lee Roth but it was a complement you know?
