Crime Novels on the Porch

I was more open minded than normal because of the general strangeness that lingered in the Halloween-night air, but I was still taken aback by Crime Novels‘ set, which consisted of Ellery Samson parading around the multi-neon painted garage/venue in scrubs, weaving in and out of the crowd, while screaming lyrics over a glitchy pattern of drum machine pops and bass bumps. That was over a year ago, and since then I’ve come to appreciate Samson’s act without under-standing the gist of it until now; a one man show dedicated to sadness.

“KIDS DON’T GO HOME WHEN THEY’RE SUPPOSED TO———AND THEY SHOULDN’T” MIX

Yo-yo, yo-yo. This is a hot new mix from me, DJ Mos Wan Ted aka Johnny Disaster aka Birth Name aka Dump Truck aka Listen Up. It was inspired by SXSW 2008, L.A. “new punk” scene, and feeling, speaking, and acting like a bad-ass, but with the intentions of overly respecting everyone you may come in contact with. This is something your children will be asking you about in the future, so don’t put yourself in the position of being embarrassed by answering, “Oh well, I saw the link to download it, but at the time I was thinking about all the homework I had to get done, and I missed out.” Besides your internet bill, this is totally FREE. Be a go getter and get going!
