2008-04-30T09:02:00.000-05:00

The Skin Flute is traditionally not a difficult instrument to master, although some might argue that it is an acquired taste, egged on by a deep desire to play with it and lave attention on it. Unlike the woodwind flute, it is not necessary to perfect an embouchure to play the skin flute, making the skin flute far easier to master than a orchestral flute - gag reflex excepted. As it only has one single hole, it is unlike its modern brethern; however should one encounter a skin flute with hole(s) along its sides it is best left alone. Careful manipulation with the fingers, tongue or lips can provide a variety of responses, allowing a master skin flautist to reach a crescendo or ease into a more subdued passage.

There are multiple ways for the artist to address the skin flute as it is presented to them. Commonly, the skin flute is held vertically in front of the player, although some prefer to change the angle with many holding the instrument horizontally, either sideways to the lips or full on. The most satisfactory part of the performance often comes when the flute is taken as deeply as possible to the back of the throat, which produces wide variety of sounds ranging from high-pitched and frenzied to low and gurgling sounds. Seasoned professionals will use a variety of these techniques during their performance, periodically removing all, or a portion, from their throat to allow continued breathing lest they choke on it.

Advanced flute players can also employ vibrato by varying the amount of air blown through the instrument at a rapid rate to create a wobble in the pitch and amplitude of the tone, producing a sound like "ahhh ahh ah ahhh ahhh ahhhh ahhhhhhhh". Rough handling of the instrument may also result in leakage.

Of course one should never forget the bags located at the root of the instrument. They are delicate and can aid the artist in their performance if handled correctly. Remember that one must not be tempted to "bag pipe" - the unrelenting and harsh squeezing of the bags - while working with skin flute. A simple rocking or gentle rolling usually leads to audience satisfaction.

Oftentimes, a skin flautist uses the instrument of another to play their masterpieces, for which they are either paid a substantial sum, given a follow-up performance, or neither. The practice of giving a skin flute to more than one person to play has led to the spread of many STDs - that is, skinflute transmitted diseases - and has thus also increased its cultural taboo.

Tom Cruise’s Son Set To Play Will Smith In Movie Role

2008-04-24T20:43:00.000-05:00

Connor Cruise, the adopted bi-racial son of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, is set to portray a young Will Smith in the upcoming film “Seven Pounds,” according to the Associated Press. The younger Cruise’s role is a minor, non-speaking part that he filmed over two days during production more than a month ago. His role is of Smith’s character as a young man. Photos will also be used to bulk up the portrayal. The movie is still shooting. The film stars Smith and Rosario Dawson and is directed by “The Pursuit of Happyness” lensman Gabriele

Rough Wolf Sex

2008-04-22T08:10:00.001-05:00

The process by which energy is created in Rough Wolf Sex is similar to pelvic thrust, where the potential energy stored in water at a certain height causes the turbines to spin as it flows to a lower level. Unfortunately, turbines of this sort need to be lubricated, and thus are not efficient in the conservation of fossil fuels, and also in some mid-western states a source of free-flowing water is unavailable for damming. No-lube Rough Wolf Sex, on the other hand, harnesses the gaydiation generated by the friction inherent when gay wolves have unlubricated rough sex. How these gayons are transformed into usable electrical energy is a top secret process. The process is much more eco-friendly than the construction of a dam, as well as a lot more gay.

There are an estimated 2,000 wolf couples producing energy around-the-clock in a field just outside Austin to provide Dallas with a never-ending flow of clean, renewable power. It's estimated only 30% of wolves participating in the Rough Gay Wolf Sex program are actually gay, and only 70% of those gay couples are in love. As such, wolf morale often falls low. Most wolves are only in the job because they dropped out of high-school, and need to put in 13 hours shifts to support their family at home.

It has been suggested that wolf convicts from the nearby Wolf Penitentiary be brought in for State Labor, under the theory that they'd probably be committing Rough Gay Wolf Rape anyway. However, for reasons unknown, Rough Gay Wolf Rape produces a third less power than consensual Rough Gay Wolf Sex, and bringing criminals into the work environment would likely lower the energy output. Despite this, some people still feel that the convicts need to repay their debt to society one way, and whoring in the Rough Gay Wolf Sex fields as punishment would be justifiable.

As one young boy recounts; "I had rough sex with three wolves at once, my belly hurt after."

-Corey

1.) Young Marble Giants - Eating Noddemix
Evidently Noddemix is some sort of Swiss cereal bar.
2.) Silver Jews - San Francisco B.C.
From the upcoming Silver Jews LP "Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea" that will be released June 17 on Drag City.

3.) Biz Markie - Pickin' Boogers

Episode #60

2008-03-17T22:52:00.013-05:00

1.) Desperate Bicycles - The Medium Was Tedium
D.I.Y. "it's easy and it's cheap go and do it"

2.) David Ruffin - I Want You Back
David Ruffin the bespectacled former temptation cut this album in 71' for Motown but for some reason it was shelved. This Jackson 5 cover makes a hell of lot more sense coming out of a grown man instead of a bejewled dancing seven year old.

3.) Nick Cave - Red Right Hand

4.) Graham Parker - Local Girls
I miss the days when ugly dudes could still be in popular rock bands.

5.) The Donnas - Get Rid of That Girl
Before they tried to rip of Kiss and got all cock rocky the Donnas released this LP on Superteem! later re-issued on Lookout! records. Don't blame early releases for the later sins of their creators, for god sakes this album rocks!

6.) Mekons - Cockermouth

7.) The Penetrators - #1 Band in Town
Fuck yes!
8.) The Dogs - The Most Forgotten French Boy

Episode #59

2008-03-07T13:22:00.013-06:00

1.) La Joven Guardia - Extroyo Del Pelo Largo (long haired stranger)

Argentinian band from the swinging beat scene of the 60's.

2.) The Taxi Boys - Bad to Worse

Headed by one time Modern Lover and Real Kid John Felice, the Taxi boys were born out of the Real Kids breakup and only released a 7" and a mini-12" before the real kids re-grouped for another try. This song is from the Mini-LP put on on Bomp in 1980.

3.) Fugazi - Long Division

4.) Paul McCartney - Single Pigeon

A sweet little song from Red Rose Speeedaway

5.) The Only Ones - The Whole of the Law

Usually I hate the saxophone and this song barley passes the sax test. It should have been on this list.

6.) Brad Neely - Cat People

7.) Elvis Presley - Gentle on my Mind

8.) Banbarra - Shack Up

Find all about this gem here.

9. The Pogues - Body of an American

The Wire was the best television show the medium ever saw. It will be missed.

Episode #58

2008-02-27T08:34:00.018-06:00

1.) The Dogs - More From You
The French power pop lovechild of the Only Ones and the Modern Lovers.

2.) Beat Happening - Angel Gone
If your listening to this podcast you most likely either love or at least have a notion of who Beat Happening were. Get the box-set, it's all good.

3.) The Magnetic Fields - A Chicken With it's Head Cut Off
From the 69 love songs set.

4.) Ween - With My Own bare Hands
I was reluctant to get this after the highly mediocre Quebec album, but I am glad to say that La Cucaracha is Ween's best effort since The Mollusk. As far as obligatory Ween rockin' tracks, the one this album could be their most awesomenest ever.

5.) Pavement - Here
Morning coffee and Pavement have been getting me to class lately.

6.) Beck - Hotwax
10 years, huh..that's odd.
7.) The Jesus and Mary Chain - Come On

8.) Mercury Rev - Opus 40

9.) Buddy Miles - Them Changes (video)
A moment of silence for Buddy

Episode #57

2008-02-15T23:43:00.012-06:00

1.) Rocket From the Crypt - Ditchdigger
I think I'm going to be sick. The only place I could find this video was on the VH1 classics website. 93' is now "classic"?? RFTC rocked more socks than most and I wonder if they get the credit they deserve from the kids today. I am forever in·debt·ed to Ives.
2.) Spoonie Gee & the Treacherous Three - The New Rap Language
So many words. I don't think I say this many words in a day and they cram them all into eight minutes and twenty seven seconds. A sweet bass line, funky drumming, bongos it's all here. If I had one of these and some cardboard I'd be set.
3.) Delta 5 - Mind Your Own Business
Sweet things from Leeds in the late 70's; Gang of Four, Mekons, Delta 5. An amazing collection of material plucked from the out of print abyss in 2006 by Kill Rock Stars.
4.) Built to Spill - Randy Described Eternity
Since Built to Spill will be playing here on leap day I thought I would throw this one in. It's worth going to this show just to watch Doug Martsch's hands. Last Time I saw them they covered Cortez the Killer by Neil Young and it was worth the price of admission alone. Oh yea....the Meat Puppets are opening the show.
5.) Rocket From The Crypt - Young Livers

6.) Nar - The Longest Mile
NAR!

Episode #56

2008-02-13T13:45:00.004-06:00

1.) Master Jay and Michael Dee - T.S.O.B.
Old School 1980 hip-hop, this jam is like an eight minute ass work out. Seriously if you don't shake your shit to this gem you have severe case of the whites.
2.) Orange Juice - Wan Light
With everyone collectively creaming themselves over Vampire Weekend for some reason I thought I would throw this in the mix. I still can't figure out how bands get so hyped up before having an album.
3.) Nikki & The Corvettes - Just What I Need
They sound like the Runaways without the balls of Joan Jett .
4.) Pixies - Head On (The Jesus and Mary Chain Cover)
The Pixies performing Head On on the Dennis Miller show (On on is that right?). On a side-note Dennis Miller is a complete Douche.

Dennis Miller being a Douche.

5.) Yo La Tengo - From A Motel 6
I have to be honest, this one fell threw the cracks. I had just about every other Yo La Tengo album but this one. I have been robbed for years, who the fuck have I been getting music advise from? Everyone gushes about I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One and while that albums is 10 and perfect and other platitudes you want to heap upon it I think Painful is under-rated.

6.) Nirvana - Sliver

7.) Adicts - Viva La Revolution
All you really need is the singles collection and face make-up.
