New Fuck Button's album is pretty sweet
Boss Hog - What the Fuck.
Yeah, what the fuck. No wait, what the fuck?
(Confession: The only thing I would have done differently if I were in Kevin Seconds’s shoes is actually jack-off to the t-shirt before I burnt it. And you know I would have blogged about it, too).

Also, the name of some floor-sitters from Portland.
And a beautiful song by Love and Rockets:
If you don’t like Saudade and wish to have no more of it, then this bossa nova song is yours:

Broadcast and the Focus Group - The Be Colony (brought to my attention via seaserpentheart)
Nothing to claim but my megabytes
I just downloaded the new Broadcast and Focus Group collaboration. It was a big headache. I won’t say which music service I used, because I’ve had no problems with it before, and the problem might be with my virus protection program. But I had to practically fly over to England and bring back all the mp3 in my carry-on luggage.
Anyway, I’m listening to the album now, and I’m already annoyed. The songs keep cutting off in unexpected places, and I can’t tell whether some clicks and pops belong to the music or are artifacts of damaged mp3 files. I assume that the jump cuts and the degraded fidelity are intentional, but I can’t be one-hundred percent for sure.
I’m not getting this album at all. It consists of twenty plus two minute tracks. It’s like watching TV with someone holding down the channel changing button.
Bottom line: I’d rather I owned this album on vinyl (and my record player was working), and I don’t care for music whose playing time necessarily has to be converted into weed minutes before it can be appreciated.
Maybe I’m just frustrated right now.
Ruth White - Wheel of Fortune
Don’t Explain – Dexter Gordon

Gettin richer and richer, the police took my picture
I noticed that there is a biopic in the works about The Juice Crew. It’s called The Vapors. Keke Palmer (Akeelah and the Bee) has been cast to play Roxanne Shanté, and Nas is rumored to play Kool G Rap. Cuba Gooding Jr. will play hip-hop producer Marley Marl.
I find classic rap tedious. I can’t get all the way through Shanté’s cut, for example. But G Rap is the exception to the rule. He still sounds good.

Slapp happy - Casablanca Moon (via PalepoliChild)
You gotta work tomorrow, but fuck it. There’s an unopened bottle of Riesling in the refrigerator. Have a glass or two, listen to some Slapp Happy and pretend you don’t.
