"Live Fast Die" - GG Allin (Troubled Troubadour of The Bowery)

GG ALLIN Was an O.G. shock rocker/ a testament to excess and a raving MANIAC. He was "all in" always. My first exposure to his raging repertoire was in 9th grade, when I saw a video of his live show circa '90 (?) - a show when he subsequently shat on stage, rolled around in his own feces (butt naked) all the while shrieking punk music, only to bolt down the the bowery (still completely naked, Bowery still completely gutter at the time it was shot, not the hi end strip mall we see today). I have "shotgun Natalie" for that early taste of the gutter life, the epitome of shock RAWK, I still remember it vividly. That was the moment i realized that sometimes its not the talent that gets you the shine, its the shock of the rock and the rage in the cage. I mean, we watched the whole video, and clearly Mr. Allin was not much of a technician, but he sure knew how to create a vicious spectacle. I think he also shot himself, during a show once, dude was deranged. RIP you crazy fuck.Here's a link GG ALLIN and the Jabbers "Don't talk to me" - LIVE FAST DIE.

Tonetta77 "DRUGS, DRUGS, DRUGS"

Something tells be Tonetta77 writes from experience, definitely a raving maniac of sorts, like a made-for-YouTube GG Allin (minus fecal matter). Check the link if you really need some backstory, I think the video is sufficient. His YouTube account has been shut down numerous times. That's marginally gangster, I guess? Shock Schlock. HA

the effects of getting ICED (this is the first/last time i endorse this "icing" phenomenon, sean kinney killed it on his born day)

DROP THE LIME "Sex Sax" :: City Spiced Summer Jamz X Saxamaphone

Drop the Lime — Sex Sax from Trouble & Bass on Vimeo.

It's hot times in the city in the new video from the homie, DroptheLime (trouble&bass), a testament to the sinful/sweaty seductress that is NYC during the dawg-days of summer. Chock full of guest appearances by NYC locos, from badmon 77Klash to digi-designer (co-founder of Fool's Gold) Dust la Rock. The video is drenched with summertime sex - gotta love a pervy P.I. rocking a trenchcoat, shades and a saxamaphone (all summer essentials), don't you? DTL dropped this flick at the perfect time, just as the summer takes hold, and the streets get spicy - the track as infectious as an African strain of malaria. As all the locals know, when the city heat breaks 80 degrees, the streets and their inhabitants get loco -HERE's a LINK to Download the fly SEX SAX (blujemz Remix) if you don't feel it, stay shady...

Dock Ellis & His Notorious No-Hitter on LSD

i was digging around for footage of Dock Ellis' No hitter (which, seems to not exist on the web) and found this animated short by some artiste named James Blagden. the clips pretty funny, the story is EPIC and true. Dude pitched a No-Hitter on a head full of LSD in 1970, definitely the most notorious drug enduced sports moment. I mean, it makes sense that pitchers in the eighties could bring the heat on a face full of cocaine, but tripping on acid? That's bananas... I mean, Never has a NY Met even thrown a No-No (ever), and this guy did it tripping his face off on LSD and a gaggle of other stimulants. Dock Ellis was a gentleman and a scholar, and a boss. No question.

Team Facelift :: Paid 2 Rage

Team Facelift (duck down) played a short-set at an underage rave this weekend on Manhattan Island. The show was pretty amusing, harkening back to our own days of underage raves/rage. The room was literally boiling over at about 99 degrees - making for a sweat-drenched affirmation that the Facelift gang is in fact, Paid2Rage (and for an early exit, I'm too damn old for that sort of swelter)...

Here's a LINK to their new track, titled (you guessed it) Paid to Rage. Look out for their upcoming album of the same title, out soon on Duck Down Records...

M.Ronson : Circuit Breaker :: N.E.S. Nostalgia for Days (8-bit goes pop)...

via Stereogum
This track might not be Mark Ronson's best (or brightest), and it definitely could use a hook (or some vocals), but what the song lacks in innovation, it makes up for with this rad Zelda-inspired video. I'm looking forward to hearing the rest of the album (out in Sept), as it's bound to have some bangers mashed-in. Nerd Alerts all day, but that has yet to stop me from indulging my own need for NES Nostalgia now and again. If only dude would stop talking with that phony (Madonna-esque) Brit-accent - aren't you from New York (asshole)? And for the record, I think Diplo's 8-bit banger on FabricLive was a bit more gangster, which I believe was aided (or "borrowed") from my college neighbor (Jesse Novak AKA Tugboat) who was making this music 8-years ago - his 8-bit shit is FIRE, though he has since moved-on to new sounds...
