Boner Jams '03

It's a collection of pornos I was really into Summer of '03.

Or in this case, it's a collection of songs I was really into over the Winter of '09. But me being me, I didn't get around to writing about it until Spring.

Does it piss anyone else off that Winter of '09 can refer to both January and December of the same year? How frustrating is that. Any other season you can break into specific 3 or 4 month brackets, but winter is just so fucking disparate. January and December? Might as well split the same Winter into two different years. But that'd just be fucking crazy. They should call it winter in January then something like "new winter" in December, just so people don't get confused. Whatever.

I was never into the Birkenstock wearing, hookah-smoking, chest-hair having, weed inhaling, acid dropping, old money faux hipster set. Especially when they got to blasting Phish.

But I do like me some Talking Heads. Nothing But Flowers is the trippiest song I've heard them put together. Like most of their tunes, the lyrics are kind of dumb and don't make much sense.
"this was a Pizza Hut, now it's covered with daisies"
"this was a discount store, now it's turned into a cornfield"
But it's so melodically intoxicating, you have to love this song. So, excuse me while I go slip on my sandals, eat some mushrooms, cover myself in mud, and do some spastic gyrations that I call
"dancing." It's the New England thing to do.




Go cop my album, go cop my album. I used to listen to the radio (ray-dee-oh?, what the hell is that). I used to love listening to Funk Flex screaming on the airwaves "go cop my album" like he was going to shoot you if you didn't. But I copped Drake's So Far Gone. I won't review it here, because everyone that reads this blog (all 4 of you) already owns it. But I will advise you to go listen to Unstoppable where Wayne hijacks the track.

Drake's verse is tight, ending a crescendo that only serves as an entrance to Weezy's verse. This dude can say the stupidest stuff and not only get away with it, but make it hot. No one else right now can do that. Hip-Hop enthusiasts should theoretically hate Lil' Wayne (and a lot of old school NYC type rap supporters do). This verse is thoroughly Wayne. Does he mention....

Sports? Check.
and when it comes down to stuntin
you boys is just buntin and
im swinging for the fence

Hilarious sexual imagery? Check.
she say i get that pussy wetter than a Dasani shop

And other random shit I was going to write about but am too lazy to do.



Also making the list of tracks I was really into:

Mariah Carey - Always Be My Baby
One of the greatest songs of our generation, even though it's way stalker-ish if you listen to the lyrics.
