Party Rap! Plastic Little and the rest of Philly

NBC of Plastic Little

I hate using the word rap-- I think of the first time I heard Bone Thugs or Doggystyle. But party hip hip just doesn't have the same zing to it.

Anyway, PackofRats, SQUID, No Body's Child and Jon Thousand, collectively as Plastic Little, have been bangin club speakers all year [perhaps not here in Madison, but some club speakers, somewhere]. And my speakers here at home have sustained some Plastic treatment as well. They are about as close as I can get in my ceaseless quest to quench my Spank Rock thirst. Like Spank, they're from Philly and they also work with my favorite foul-mouthed female emcee Amanda Blank.

That's her on the left, with Naeem Juwan, aka Mr. Spank Rock. As these hipster/ party/ rap kids tend to be the trendsetters so all I have to say is jah fucking help us all if those shorts make a comeback.

Anyword.. Below are a few various tracks from the posse.. spotlighting a couple Plastic Little joints, as well as their Philly brethren Pase Rock. You may remember Pase Rock from this Teiam Player smash hit, where they were teamed up with some Primus.

Word, y'all.

On a separate note, Santogold deserves her own post.. I am simply too lazy to go ahead and do it, so instead go to the SantoSpace and go read some other posts that other bloggers have written.
Trust me, if you're a fan of the idea of a strange hybridization of M.I.A. and Karen O, then you only owe it to yourself. Have I ever led you astray? Fine, see it here for yourself.


That's Spank Rock who comes out dancing like a crazy twelve year old white boy.


Coke and wet bitch, guns ninja holllllllllllla.

Favorite Songs of 2007, Part Seis

Happy Snowy Day, Madisonites. I helped shovel the weekend's snow-turned-to-ice from my friend's driveway this afternoon, and by the time we were done my car was totally covered in a beautiful fluffy blanket. And now I want to go snowboarding.

Here's another list of tunes. Faves. From this year. Hence the title.

Kano - "The Layer Cake", from some bootleg mixtape
Menomena - "Evil Bee", from Friend or Foe
St Vincent - "Now Now", from Marry Me
Yeasayer - "Wait for the Summer", from All Hour Cymbals
Kelly Clarkson - "Never Again" [no, seriously; I mean it's no "Since U Been Gone", but let's not kid ourselves, what is?], from My December
Dntel feat Grizzly Bear - "To a Fault", from Dumb Luck
Pase Rock - "Lindsay Lohan's Revenge", from Lindsay Lohan's Revenge 12"
Brazos - "Miss Virginia", A City Just as Tall [I'm buying my copy from iTunes as I type]

Bonus! Teiam Player's keep-the-perversion-going remix of Pase Rock tune, featuring Primus's "Wynona's Big Brown Beaver". You do the math. Ok, I will.

Pase Rock + Primus = "LiLo's Big Brown Beaver"
