TOP 10-ish OF THE SUMMER 2008

(besides Extreme Animals CD and tour, Terrior Bute recording a new CD, Juiceboxxx's next 7" and the Big Fun tour and 7"...)

1. Yung L.A. "We Fly Futuristic"

"I'm so futuristic I won't even brush my hair." I've been living in the future for 24 years. Gnarly.
YUNGLELAND MYSPACE

2. Sex Vid live @ Garfield House. Not quite as crazy as this:

But still satisfying.

3. Cave's Hunt Like Devil / Jamz 12" on Permanent Records. Saw them a while back at Rollin' Hatin' / Version fest in Chicago, and their double EP is some of sickest psych in a minute and has been on heavy, heavy rotation on my turntable. And their myspace is great to look at while on the pot: SEE? They're on tour with the great SkareKrau Radio now too.

4. TP4: THE ANTICIPATION BUILDS

+ Hair Braider (Embedding Disabled)
Summer wouldn't be summer if you weren't excited about a new R. Kelly record coming out. I'm still waiting for the summer remix to drop.

5. Total Abuse tour CD (this better get a vinyl press) and live in Milwaukee. Always sweet: TOTAL ABUSE

6. The "Arch In Yo Back"


7. Cam'ron "My Aura"

"This is that 'I don't give a fuck' music."

8. THE USAISAMONSTER: 3 NEW TRACKS FROM THE UPCOMING "SPACE PROGRAMS" LP

9. Basically anything Collipark or Soulja Boy do at this point. Fuck it.


10. Line of the Summer 2008 goes to Sewn Leather: "When I smoke weed, the weed smokes Me." It's the smoke of the punk, man.

WORST MOMENT OF THE YEAR: READING THIS
