MOSHOLU Hardcore: Das Racist Meets Talib Kweli (Eastern District Comp.)

From what I can tell, MOSHOLU seems to consist of a pretty solid mix of new/old, previously unreleased, and re-hashed music. Eastern District even managed to conjure up some of New York's finest young Hardcore Punk, Hip-Hop, and Psych-Rock bands for inclusion on their recently-issued comp., which was released sometime over July 4th Weekend. Aside from a couple STELLAR Das Racist-fueled collabo tracks (Talib Kweli & Spank Rock), MOSHOLU features plenty of other great new artists/bands... that even a "savvy" blogger like I had never heard of: Fast Years, Telli Federline, Kenneth Whaulm III, The Wellington Papers, Michael Alan Alien, Viennagram, Gunfight!, and plenty more.

MOSHOLU basically plays out like a classic 1975-80's Hardcore Punk comp. where you really just pick it up for 3-5 bands and wind up discovering 15-20 new ones by the time the final track plays out; It would probably remind a lot of kids from our generation of Atticus, Hellcat, or Warped Tour comps. - both format and content-wise. Self-described as a "Hip-Hop/Punk/Psychedelic compilation spawned from the bowels of Bushwick, Brooklyn," a MOSHOLU Press Release details that it all started "in the bathroom of Eastern District Gallery a few months ago, with Kool A.D. and production by Ghostdad (Win Win)."

Eastern District uploaded the DELUXE No DJ version of said 15-track mixtape and that's now up for download over @ INDY livemixtapes, along with a black-and-white music video for Rap Gang's submission, "Whistle Blower" ... and I'd definitely recommend picking up Fast Years' debut release, Women EP over @ Bandcamp for just $5; It's a nice mix between The Black Keys' unique blend of Blues-based Rock and The Strokes' signature Pop-driven "Post-Punk Revival" stylings!

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of
