Smutty Valentines: Day Twelve

Day twelve: Makeup Sex

Dbd! Ghostface x reader

Fem! Reader

Warnings: slight angst in the beginning, pre fog Jed Olsen, late 80s to early 90s Florida Era setting, reader has suspicions of him being the Roseville killer, mentions of cheating (not actually cheating), readers job is a dj while going through college. Piv sex, kinda toxic relationship, unprotected sex

Lying on your shared bed, you listened to the newest mix tape you made during your off time as a freelance dj. The upbeat sounds of the latest Florida Break mix did nothing to help you through how upset you were at your boyfriend.

You love your boyfriend Jed but lately he's been ditching dates with you, claiming that his newspaper job is to blame. What Jed didn't realize was that you didn't see his car parked at his job when he claimed he was at work the other day.

Thoughts flooded your mind, unsure if it was the florida heat affecting you or your nerves running into overdrive. Between the news spreading like wildfire about the Roseville killer and your own concerns about the state of your relationship, you're feeling a bit down moodwise.

The front door to your shared apartment moved slightly as the front door was unlocked. Jed looked rather exhausted as he drops his work folders onto the small table before grabbing him some water to drink. Sliding into the covers, you hoped he thinks you fell asleep while listening to music.

You didn't want to continue the argument that the both of you had before he went to work this morning and you went to class. As much as you love Jed, you also know that he can be hard to love and be with. He's an egotistical asshole, occasionally being the man you fell in love with.

"Doll, I know you're awake, you're shitty at luing."

You feel him enter the bed next to you. His left hand gently caresses your soft cheek while his right arm pulled your body closer to his. Giving up the facade, you opened your eyes to see his tired ones.

"I'm sorry that I have been a shitty boyfriend to you. The whole Roseville killer is keeping me tied at the office."

His lips kissed down the sensitive flesh of your neck as you let out a soft moan for him. Although you didn't believe his beautiful lies, you couldn't help but to melt to his warm touch. Your hands ran through his dark locks as he kissed down your jawline, towards your neck.

It was as if you were a fly trapped in Jed's web of lies and deceit. You know it's wrong but it gives you a thrill that no drug or alchohol can ever satisfy. His hands were quick with undressing you, his calloused hands ghosted over your soft skin.

The haziness of the lust building from Jed's touch trumped any common sense thoughts about ending the relationship. Your hands instinctively started stripping his clothes as he left hickies from your neck down to your breasts.

You were lost in your lust to noticed that the both of you were nude. Jed teased your slit with the tip of his cock before he entered you. A loud groan left your lips as you felt his member stretched your walls. After the amount of times the both of you had fucked, you still loved how he can still stretched your walls deliciously.

His thrusts picked up from somewhat slow and sensual to borderline animalistic as he used the sounds you make to thrust faster. His soft groans filled your ears as his hands moved your legs up, putting then around his shoulders. The new position made him hit your gspot immediately.

The familiar coil of arousal bubbles up deep inside you as the sounds of both of your moans filled the humid room. His deep breaths against you sweat claded skin, causing goosebumps to form on your arms.

Between the way Jed pistons himself into you and the sounds of pleasure filling your ears, you came around his cock. He kept on thrusting animalistically, chasing his own climax as he feels your over stimulated form shake underneath him.He came inside you shortly afterwards, collapsing over your body.

"Do you forgive me, doll?"

You noded slightly in-between heavy breaths. You relaxed your body as he pulled out of you, letting your legs stretch back onto your shared bed. Just like the last time the both of you had makeup sex, you accepted Jed's apology- cementing yourself into the same cycle you both loved and loathed.

Today’s mix:

The New York Beat: New York's Hottest Club Hits by David Phillips 1987 Freestyle / Dance-Pop

God, it must've been such a fuckin' vibe to pop something like this into your tape deck back in 1987 on a late, balmy New York City night and just cruise down the streets blasting it with your windows rolled all the way down 😎. When done right, freestyle music can be *so* good, man. You load a piece of a vocal into a sampler, chop up a Latin-tinged, pitch-shifted melody out of it, and then lay that melody over some layers of synths and drums and then I'm all yours 🥰.

And you happen to briefly get a couple of those sublime moments in the instrumental portions of the final track on this mix, "I Won't Stop Loving You," by C-Bank featuring Diamond Eyes. C-Bank is an electro and freestyle project that has actually belonged to a handful of producers over the years. In fact, the other C-Bank track that's on this mix appears to have been produced by a guy named John Robie, who had previously crafted some classic old school electro-hip hop jams for Afrika Bambaataa & The Soulsonic Force—namely, "Looking for the Perfect Beat" and "Renegades of Funk"—and he also plays synthesizer on the group's most famous hit, "Planet Rock." But Robie's C-Bank song, I think, pales in comparison to the other one on here, which appears to have been co-produced by a pair of rookies named Elvin Molina and Mickey Garcia, who'd both go on to make a lot more freestyle tracks after they released this one. And the version that's on this tape actually sounds a bit different than the version that's on YouTube, which I'll provide here.

Because of those instrumental bits with the melodic vocal stabs, that C-Bank track is my favorite tune on here. But the one that precedes it by Bronx trio Sweet Sensation is a pretty quintessential 80s dance tune too; it was their debut single and it hit #64 on Billboard's Hot 100.

But outside of those two tracks, nothing else on this mix really seems all that special. And some of these tunes were actually pretty big hits in their day, like Sicilian singer Nocera's "Summertime, Summertime," which hit #2 on the Billboard dance chart in 1986. But looking back, a lot of these tunes actually just sound kinda simple, formulaic, and cheap 🤷‍♂️.

However, despite the overall lackluster selection, the mixing on this tape is still pretty damn good. And according to Discogs, this appears to be the only mix that this David Phillips guy ever made. Prior to this mix—if it is indeed the same guy—he did an updated 1986 dance remix of pre-Monkees Micky Dolenz's 1967 blues-rock single, "Don't Do It," which he front-ended with a coked-out, uptempo, hypnotically surfy hi-NRG beat. And I gotta say, it's really... something 😅; worth a listen just for the sheer novelty of it.

Really was not expecting this dancy freestyle mix to have just one degree of separation from Micky Dolenz, but there you have it! 😄

Now, I don’t have any links to this full mix, but I managed to record it with one of those cheap cassette-to-mp3 converters, so if you *really* want to hear it, feel free to get at me.

And here’s a short Spotify playlist of some personal freestyle faves of mine; nothing out of the ordinary, but some absolute bangers that span from the early 80s to mid-90s 😌.

Highlights:

Sweet Sensation - "Hooked On You" C-Bank Featuring Diamond Eyes - "I Won't Stop Loving You"

The Jonicles - Entry 26.5

It is currently the 3rd of October, 2022 at 7:33 pm on a warm-ish Monday night, the day of absolutel reckoning. You know, I don't really mind Mondays that much.... Sure, it's the first day you go to school or work, but they're not that bad... It is also day #137 of my Jon Arbuckle hyperfixation.

Woah! Another bonus entry? That's unheard of! Yeah, I'm writing a shortie today. I wanted to quickly talk about some interesting Garfield-related media that I've found recently that I may make full entries of eventually because I think they're definitely worth looking into!

Back in 1995, a Garfield themed eurodance album was released and, apart from a music video made for it back when it was released that was later reuploaded by Lumpy Touch, it hasn't gotten much attention. It's a strange, relatively obscure little thing that I discovered from a Reddit post in early-mid September. I haven't seen it mentioned on many Garfield icebergs and there's, to my knowledge, no videos that have been made about it, apart from the odd remix and the aforementioned music video (which you should check out, by the way. it's got a lot of 'Garfield And Friends' clips in there that really give off so much of signature late 80s early 90s aesthetic). The most interesting thing is how un-Garfield it is. Yeah, the lyrics do talk about cats, but there's nothing about Garfield's live for lasagna or the other characters, for that matter. In fact, they never really mention Garfield's name, which makes me wonder if they were just generic tracks that PAWS Inc. liscensed and slapped Garfy-Baby onto. That isn't to say that the music doesn't slap though - 'Cool Cat', the most iconic track in the album, is such a BANGER!! It gives me huge Sonic R vibes if Sonic R was more like Nightcore. That piano in 'Hold On To Your Dreams' is just the absolute chef's kiss, we have an official piece of Garfield media that contains the phrase "I'm Getting High", and don't even get me strated on how hype 'Party Of Love' is!!! I'm so genuinely surprised that something like this actually exists because of how oddly unique it is? Like, what genre of music do you think of when you think of Garfield? If you grew up with the 80s cartoons, you probably think of something jazzy, something smooth with a snazzy bassline that defines Garfield's character and makes it memorable. If you grew up with something more modern like the DTV Garfield movies and 'The Garfield Show', you might think of brass instruments that are loud and bursting with energy, something more goofy and energetic. But eurodance? I think it goes without saying that this is one of my favourite bits of obscure Garfield media because of how unique and how much of a BOP it is. Someone show this to Quinton - that is, if he hasn't already heard it!

This piece of media is a little, well, strange, to say the least... So, you know the comedian Gilbert Gottfried, right? You probably know him for his incredibly recognisable voice and taboo style of comedy... Now mix it with Garfield. Like, fuse them together. What do you see? Do you see some terrifying abomination of a man-cat hybrid? Just imagining Gilbert Gottfried's face plastered onto the fat cat? Wondering why the fuck anything like this would even come into existence in the first place and why this world is so unholy? Good, because that's what I thought too when I first saw this freaky little guy. It's called Gilbert Garfield, an ARG series that focuses on the person behind the archival of a lost series he recieved on VHS tapes that's similar to Garfield And Friends except, well, except that Garfield is also Gilbert Gottfried. Listen, this series is simultaneously on of the most eerie and hilarious ARGs I've ever seen. The premise is so silly, stupid even, yet it works so well... Fucking.... Gilbert Garfield... It starts out Gilbert Garfield saying something about the creation of lasagna whilst Odie is immediately shot in the face offscreen by an Italian-speaking alien who arrests Gilbert Garfield for the future crime of killing Jon Arbuckle and they take him to their spaceship, only to get lasered by Gilbert, and then everything falls into this plot of Gilbert being driven insane by his own third and fourth eye seeing abilities and it's crazy. That's not even scraping the surface yet. It's so fucking mental, I love it. The presence of Gilbert throughout the clips that have been uploaded really reminds me of Zalgo, an eldritch horror being that you may remember if you were on the internet and in the creepypasta community during roughly 2004-2010, to which the plastered Gilbert Gottfried face present on Garfield and how any media he's in seems to be corrupted parallels the corruption of any comics and cartoons Zalgo causes by his presence. Of course, Zalgo doesn't blast Italian aliens with a cosmic fire laser thing and have the face of Gilbert fucking Gottfried, but y'know! And this is all still being developed too. In fact, a new video was uploaded literally 2 days ago from when this is being written, and many more are being uploaded in other places. They even have their own website, it's crazy. I must warn you though, it is quite disturbing and is hard to follow, especially the latest video which has gore and mentions things relating to... Erm... Let's say, something being squirted onto people who are not alive... Yyyeeeaah! But seriously though, I really like this series, I even drew a little Gilbertfield on some paper while on holiday (as seen above), he's a horrifying little abomination that I love so dearly. I can't wait to see what further developments this will have!!!

So, that wraps up this little bonus entry. I have some other topics that are a little more spooky to write entries on during this month, including one that is near and dear to my childhood. I might talk for in-depth about these topics, but for now, I'll be leaving with this.

Last edited at 8:25 pm.

Cheers,

Your Local Jonnoisseur

Hurt Feelings: Goldband Records Demo Submissions

My friend Michael Klausman posted his incredible compilation of anonymous Goldband Records demos a few weeks back — if you missed it, I'm reupping for a limited time! Some truly awe-inspiring stuff in here. The best archival release of the year????

I'll let Michael fill in the details:

Alright, it's probably time to share one of my big pandemic era projects, which I spent an absurd amount of time on, and then ultimately only mentioned to a few people. When Goldband Records (the Lake Charles, Louisiana record label founded by Eddie Shuler in the late 1940s) folded in the mid 90s, he donated most of the label archive to UNC. Included in that pile of materials were around 800 demo cassette tapes that were submitted to the label circa the mid 70s to the early 90s (I assume). These were not things that Goldband owned the rights or publishing to (in fact there's a recording I found where Shuler talks about how terrible most of the material is & how they don't own it). He was largely correct as to the artistic worth of the material.

However! UNC digitized all of the cassettes, and they are available to stream on the (vast) Goldband digital archive, and while the vast majority is a tough slog indeed, there are some truly wonderful things to be discovered. As much as I love things like university digital archives, they are not particularly user friendly for the most part... the demo tapes are posted totally anonymously with very little metadata or context or information.

Being the maniac that I am, I listened to EVERY single cassette, taking notes on the interesting ones, and then put together a 30 song mix of the highlights. This stuff is truly the realest of the real, completely homegrown, just people w/an idea & a dream for the most part. There's some of the Cajun stuff the label was mostly known for, as well as soul, boogie, minimal synth, original country songs by a prisoner at Parchman Farm, a Zydeco track that sounds like it could be on an Ethiopiques compilation, proto-Ariel Pink rockers, a white country gospel singer doing a duet w/his 90 year old mother, amongst many other extremely unique performances. Probably the best mix I've ever made, please enjoy!

Oh hello! What’s this? It’s another obscure cartoony tv mascot that I’ve never seen before!

As you all know, I’ve been getting into the strange and facinating world of lost media! But mostly animation/kids lost media, thanks to my recent obsession with The Moxy Show! And then I wondered hey, are there any other obscure tv mascots like Moxy? So I digged throught the lost media wiki, and that’s where I discovered… This guy.

Allow me to introduce to you all, to Frankenfox! From Fox Kids from 1991 to 1992!

Yup! This was kind of Fox’s attempt in making their own mascot that is a literal fox! Heh, I wondered a long time ago if they ever had at one point a mascot that was a fox! But looks like they did!

But that isn’t his offical name, and he dosen’t even have a name! But some folks call him Frankenfox due to the fact he has this large frankenstien monster-shaped body, and the fact that most of his bumpers (the ones that are found so far) has this horror/mad scientist theme as he do crazy experiments! But there are some that don’t involve horror and just have that cartoony theme!

What makes him intresting is the fact that he’s actully a mix of both live action and animation! You see, in the bumpers his head is the only part that is animated. While his clothes and gloves are in live action! But there are some bumpers where his arms are animated without the live action coat. Intrestingly enough when I researched the bumpers in the lost media wiki there was an actual animator who was asked about the bumpers and mentioned, that how they animated the character is that they had an actor wearing the suit while wearing this green cylander that was covering their head when filming the bumpers. Then after filming it all in tape they take the scenes from there and put them into indivdual frames so they can get body sync for when they add the voice and action to go with that. And that’s when they start adding those animations! And of course this wasn’t easy for them to do and these bumpers really took time to make.

But hey! I think that’s really awsome for them to do! I find super facinating to see a character that’s a full on combination of live-action and animation! I don’t think there’s many shows or media that has characters that are combinations of diffrent animation styles, and to see Fox once had this character with a unique bled of 2D and live-action is really amazing! 🤩

It’s too bad they stopped using him! He was the first for the channel’s attempt into gettining into the saturday morning kids programming in the early 90’s. I have never watched fox kids when I was younger, and Im definatly not from the 90’s. But Im really curious to see all of the bumpers if they ever get found! So far I think there’s only 12 of the bumpers found only which is great! But I wonder if most of his bumpers are halloweeny? But I love that! I love anything that’s cartoony and horror theme! I do hope some lucky folks can find the rest of his bunpers. But so far, loving the creativity and the intresting creation to this character! I give props to the studio for making these unique bumpers! 😁👏

Oh! Speaking of studios heres an intresting fun fact! The company that created Frankenfox and the bumpers for Fox Kids is actully the same company that helped Cartoon Network and Hanna-Barbera in the creation of Moxy, Collosal Pictures! :D

Huh… A company that made two cartoony mascots for two diffrent networks that are both canines and obscure. Intresting! 😏

#my art #fox kids #frankenfox #also I just love his suit! The polka-dots are super adorable! -^ ^-#by the way he dosen’t have a tail but I added one!

yesterday i unlocked a new fear i never thought it would happen, the reverse thing of when something is considered lost media and is found, but with me it was the other way around

luckily i made a post about it on reddit and so many ppl came to say those 90s-2000s songs werent gone forever

it was a label focused on the genre happy hardcore, but the genre evolved so much through time i enjoyed more the sound of it from the early stages. there was a youtube account who uploaded the mixes of these cds/tapes/vynils from the djs who made music from this genre, and were my go to study beats ngl.

BUT THE ACCOUNT GOT TERMINATED DUE TO COPYRIGHT. never thought it was going to happen bc so many videos there had like 10 years on youtube, i thought they were going to be safe there BUT NO.

lets take a moment to appreciate digital media preserved in physical and that we fr have to do that all over again bc holy shit. SHIT LIKE THIS HAPPENS OUT OF NOWHERE

this goofy aah robot im so fond of i thought i lost you forever holy shit, im gonna start properly archiving these mf bc i cried last night bc i /srs thought they were gone

#txt #y2k #happy hardcore #next generation #blatant beats #this is properly chef kiss early 2000s electronic music

Is the childhood grocery store a good business

"Childhood Memories" is a very hot topic right now. Many internet celebrity streets will feature childhood grocery stores. So how can this hot product improve its HE Tuber products and optimize operations based on understanding market demand? Let’s take a look at the author’s interpretation.

I don’t know since when, some grocery stores with the words “childhood”, “childhood”, “childhood” and other words have appeared on the streets of Internet celebrities in many cities. However, if you walk into the shuttle door of these childhood memories, you will find the price But it's no longer as friendly as it was in childhood. The value of a five-cent Golden Voice has increased tenfold, and the ten-cent spicy strips have become "snack assassins"... Despite this, many people are still willing to pay for them, and these grocery stores once gained traffic on the Internet.

White Rabbit, Little Boss, Fig, Sparkling Water;

Big Brother, BB machines, tapes, and Bully game consoles;

Slam Dunk, F4...

These period objects and elements are basically standard features in every childhood grocery store.

Childhood grocery store is not the name of a specific store, but generally refers to a type of retail store. They usually sell items from the 1980s and 1990s to the early 2000s, including snacks, toys, stationery, daily necessities, etc. , the store is also decorated in the style of that era, deliberately creating a nostalgic retro atmosphere in the early days of reform and opening up.

When it comes to the decoration style of the store, it is almost all nostalgic and retro: signboards with high color saturation, military green chandeliers, wall slogans with a sense of the times, woven shopping baskets... Not only have they made great efforts in the visual aspect, but also in the store The classic children's songs and popular tracks played in the 1980s and 1990s also try to make customers dream back to their childhood.

However, the moment I saw the price, I was instantly brought back to reality.

The products sold in childhood grocery stores and their characteristics can be summarized into two categories:

One category is old items, focusing on nostalgia. This category usually refers to products that have been popular with the public since the 1980s and 1990s, such as White Rabbit toffee, Big Bubble Gum, Dried Figs, Malice, Football Chocolate, Monkey King Dan, and sticky flower biscuits with a small flower on the head. Even if compared with the current market price, the price of these childhood snacks of the "post-80s" and "post-90s" has increased several times.

Take a childhood grocery store in Guangzhou that the author visited as an example. A bottle of "Figs" with a net content of 10 grams is priced at 4 yuan in the store. On an e-commerce platform, "Figs" with the same brand and the same net content are sold for 4 yuan. It is 9.9 yuan for 12 bottles, and one bottle is less than 1 yuan; a cup of "Wangzai" tea jelly with a net content of 132 grams is priced at 12 yuan in the store, but the price range in different stores on the e-commerce platform is between 4 and 6 Yuan/cup.

The other category is new items with old packaging. This type of snacks does not belong to the "taste in memory" of the public, but they are also mixed on the shelves of grocery stores with their retro-style packaging. The prices are also on the high side, and the product information printed on the outer packaging of the products is sparse and hidden. For example, in a childhood grocery store that the author visited, there is a drink called "Grandma's Kettle". The price in the store is 8 yuan/bottle. However, even if you buy it at a low-volume price on an e-commerce platform, it costs 100 yuan per bottle. Bottles cost less than 2 yuan. Since it is not a well-known brand to the public, looking at its product information, you will find that the printing effect is poor and difficult to distinguish.

In fact, there have been many media reports before about nostalgic snacks becoming "price assassins".

2. Selling childhood memories, the layout of “nostalgia economy” on the tip of the tongue

At present, "reminiscing about the past" and "reminiscing about childhood" have become the emotional channels for a large number of people. Looking closer, from Cyndi Wang's re-emergence to the popularity of the "Slam Dunk" movie, waves of "memories kill" " is going on. In the context of today's consumption upgrade, many businesses are focusing on the direction of "nostalgic economy" and making arrangements, linking nostalgic elements to various joint brands, stores, restaurants, etc., and monetizing feelings.

The Internet celebrity "Wen Heyou", which combines traditional folk catering and trendy culture, once became a check-in point for young people because of its retro and nostalgic decoration style.

The nostalgia card of "childhood" is particularly loud in the catering and retail industries. Take KFC and McDonald's, two veteran players who have taken the childhood route as an example. Whether it is the Duck Toy launched by KFC on Children's Day last year or the Tetris game machine in the shape of chicken McNuggets launched by McDonald's on Children's Day this year, both have become popular online. Got a handful. On e-commerce platforms, Taobao and Pinduoduo also have many "childhood memories". Snacks with the words "post-80s and 90s" have attracted huge traffic.

Newcleus jam on it lyrics did you see when he went

But the realįeather in his cap is that he is the first real rap storyteller on wax. The first artists under Russell Simmons' RUSH Artist Management. His songs ‘Super Rhymes Rap’, ‘Bubble Bunch’,Īnd ‘Dollar Bill Y’all’ are hands down old school classics. Made one of the first fifteen rap records and is credited with having made the Quickly dismiss them for claiming that they coined the phrase 'hip hop' andīut Jimmy Spicer isn't just anyone. Ordinarily, I'd look at someone through slit eyes and And then he carefully emphasized the words, “no one anywhere.” Me,” he says with the conviction of a man who just witnessed the landing of a I never heard no one in the entire world, rhyme on beat before

Now: I never heard anyone use the phrase “hip hop” or rhyme on beat before I

These are the only two original albums that the band put out back in the day, along with the assorted 12 inch singles from each. Coz sells CD-Rs of both albums - plus a CD single of Jam On It (also avoid those 90s mixes, it was a bad rerecording of the original track) on his website listed above. The original CDs of JAM ON REVENGE and SPACE IS THE PLACE were Germany pressed and incredibly rare. Relationships between the band and producer were petty bad in fact there's one track on their first album that contains no one in the band at all. I was tremendously confused when I finally found Newcleus on CD - some really bad 90s comps that had a few key tracks and then some unlistenable stuff. Some comps even mix the output of the two. The kids and producer - and I am a bit unclear on this - went on to use the name, and after 1985 there were several releases using the kids or a completely different lineup. The band included some kids, but most of the 'gimmick' consisted of the band members' voices speeded up. I still have the original vinyl too, but it's shot from trying to scratch on a very cheap turntable. So am I the only one with a deep love for this track? He's an awesome guy, very into talking about equipment he used and such - and also unearthed the demo for the track on his website - something I never thought I would hear! I still have the tape they artificially extended the song for what seemed like FOREVER.Įven cooler, now in the internet age I've been able to trade some emails with Ben (Cozmo D) and have discussed the track a bit with him. And it had staying power - I do remember that come New Years Eve 1984, it was the #1 song of the year on Power 99 FM in Philadelphia. There aren't a whole lot of songs that represent a time for me like this one does. I still remember the day my mother bought me the 12" single - I played it end on end, windows open, breeze coming in - I can still smell the air. And then before you knew it, "Jam On It" was everywhere - at least in Bucks County, where I was growing up. I remember being on the playground when a friend of mine played me a piece of "Jam On Revenge", which he had taped off the radio the night before. (No headspinning allowed) I didn't have those skills, so I was the kid who brought in a cheap tape recorder and 12" singles recorded on cheap tapes - which gained me a bit of cred with the breakers. It was the tail end of fifth grade, and when the teachers were feeling generous, they would let us gather outside and play some hip hop while the more agile kids would breakdance. The VH-1 Hip Hop Top 100 thread made me think of this track - my all time favorite hip hop track, and the track that became my soundtrack to the summer of 1984.

On this special America Day weekend edition of Talk So Real my guest is DJ Jester the Filipino Fist - @filipinofist on the socials. His new mix Made in USA slams and we have a lot to say about THINGS. @Spotify https://spoti.fi/3OWQjiJ @ApplePodcasts https://apple.co/3R0cQx1 @Google Podcasts https://bit.ly/3QW4oia Oh man this is big, secure your internet as the whole world wide web gonna feel this one. On this kick off to America Day weekend we are joined in the studio by the one and only DJ Jester the Filipino Fist. His latest mixtape/CD - Made in USA (with DJ Marz on one side, Jester on the other) is out now in them streets and it's the first mixtape in a while that will make you THINK. So many levels to this one, it's both a deft cultural critique AND a jammin ass mix that goes in directions you would never expect. I've been obsessing over dissecting the whole thing for a week now. But it's not just all about the new tape. Jester and I go way back and he is one of my favorite people in the world. On this episode we talk about his early days with Prince Klassen in San Antonio running a scratch school and speaking of San Antonio there is a whole section on Scuba Steve. We also talk about how hip hop in Texas is not and never was limited to what you hear about from Houston, there's loads of layers to this and we try to peel back them all. He is one of the best turntablists (sp?) on the planet and was making viral TikTok videos way before there was even an internet, and cell phones were the size of a brick. When he finally releases his compilation DVD entitled 90's Jestah, the walls of Babylon will come crashing down. DJ Jester may be our only hope. #ATX #AustinTX #Texas #talksoreal #interview #podcast #Jester #DJJester #filipinofist #mikey #DJ #hiphop #4thofJuly #mixtape #July4th #MadeInUSA #people #google #school

SAM!

Spotify Playlist or YouTube Playlist

Sam! Thanks for (hopefully) agreeing to be one of my groomsmen! To celebrate, I made you a lil' playlist of songs from artists we've seen, will see, anddd others from the 90s that made me think of Cait! Enjoy!

Summer Friends — City wide, city wide, city wide (specifically remember handing you the 4Hands beer and you singing this)

You and Me on the Rock — September 9!

Big Parade — Gonna feel like a dummy if it was a different Lumineers song, but your first wedding dance song!

Surprise Yourself — Gotta pay tribute to the one man band of Jack Garratt and his Excel jokes/ridicule?

Sleepyhead — A tribute to Cait loving Passion Pit

The Bk Lounge — Like it or not, the Ferrell siblings listened to a great deal of Dane Cook in the early 2000s...this one's still kinda funny, though? Maybe? Cheese? Pickles?? Extra pickley pickles??

The High Road — If we had Spotify in 2010 I think this would've been Cait's most-played song

Just Another Name — Lifehouse!! I have a long lost memory of Cait and I listening to this and her picking it for a St. Joe's retreat mix CD (a sentence that epitomizes the 2000s catholic high school experience)

Wonderboy — High above the mucky muck, castle made of clouds!! On a real streak of songs for Cait instead of you 😬

Walking in Memphis — But to break the streak, a song not for Cait, but for Kevin Ferrell

U (Man Like) — I think 22, A Million is actually your favorite Bon Iver album, but damn, this one's also a keeper

MMMBop — I don't have a specific memory for this one, but I LOVED me some MMMBop in 1997 and I think Cait was right there with me in that boat

I'll Tumble 4 Ya — *Billy Madison dancing down the staircase*

Are You That Somebody — Cait and I learned Aaliyah's dance to this from a how-to VHS tape. A wonderful time in our lives

Super Rich Kids — I have a vivid memory of you and Cait putting this on during a car ride to a Ferrell family Christmas or something of the sort. And rightfully so because it's a JAM!

Fighting / Background Music — Maybe the Ferrells' favorite comedy clip of the 90s. If not this, then Kerpal prank calling someone about kicking his dog

Love Shack — Cait and Mike's first karaoke duet! (in Cancún with their parents)

Canned Heat — Cait, do you remember watching Napoleon Dynamite in the Waterman basement and having no idea what was happening? And then immediately loving the movie after Napoleon's Canned Heat dance? (another great movie to use this ploy: Little Miss Sunshine)

22 (OVER S∞∞N) — My favorite from your favorite album. I'm seeing him in a few days! (as of this writing; hopefully he was awesome)

Angels — Eric's song, but I love thinking about it and him going for it at your wedding!

Hey I was wondering if you knew the article that Justine spoke about suzi in?!

It was in The Guardian in 2000. Here you go:

Sweet revenge

In the mid 90s, Justine Frischmann and Damon Albarn were the First Couple of Britpop. Then he used a Blur album to rake over their break-up, while she languished in obscurity amid rumours of heroin addiction. Now she's back with a new album, and it's her turn to exorcise her demons.

Caroline Sullivan

Friday March 24, 2000

As Alison Moyet once said, it's hard to write a decent song when you're happy. Rock bands thrive on romantic turmoil in their private lives, without which they would be reduced to padding out lyrics with football scores and the weather.

Thus it was for Blur's Damon Albarn in mid-1998 when he sat down to write what would become the 13 album. His eight-year relationship with Justine Frischmann of the chart-topping Elastica, whom he once described as **"the only person who's ever been completely necessary to me" **had just ended, at her instigation. Pained and humiliated, he decided to exact revenge by exposing their most intimate details to public scrutiny.

The outcome? Embarrassment for Frischmann, a number one album for Blur and a bit of a result for Albarn.

Break-up albums are by definition both embittered and yearning - in the case of Marvin Gaye's vindictive Here, My Dear, they're just plain nasty - but 13 got more up-close and personal than could be considered gentlemanly. Albarn portrayed his former partner as neurotic, even slipping apparent drug references into the single Tender: "Tender is the ghost, the ghost I love the most/Hiding from the sun, waiting for the night to come". Frischmann was the ghost, supposedly, who was on the verge of being consumed by what one music paper euphemistically called "the darkness at the heart of Elastica".

Frischmann's response can be found on a song called The Way I Like It, which appears on Elastica's first album in five years, The Menace (out next month): "Well, I'm living all right and I'm doing okay/Had a lover who was made of sand, and the wind blew him away".

This is unlikely to be her last word on the subject. As she ambivalently begins her first round of interviews since 1996, she's finding that everyone has the same three questions. Why did Elastica nearly sabotage a promising career by taking so long to follow up their million-selling debut? Had Frischmann taken leave of her senses when she walked out on Mr Britpop? And what about the drug rumours?

"One journalist said to me, 'Dahling, I heard you were on heroin - Mahvelous!' " she says with some amusement. "Drugs are around, but I'm not that interested and never have been, although there have been elements of party animal in my band. The rumours are a lot to do with rock'n'roll mythology, where people want to believe you're having a more exciting time than you are."

The only drugs on her person today, as she perches on the edge of an armchair in her publicist's north London living room, are Marlboro Lights. Her other indulgences are two cups of herbal tea and a Cadbury's Flake cupcake, which she nibbles with well-bred pleasure. Her dark eyes are clear, and her long, tanned body is a testament to the virtues of a daily swim in a pool near her Notting Hill home. Only Elastica know whether they really succumbed to heroin and hedonism after their self-titled debut made them more famous than they'd ever expected to be, but if they did, Frischmann, 30, seems little the worse for it.

Given the current predominance of damnable boy bands, the Britpop mid-90s are beginning to seem like a halcyon period for English music. It was a time when the underground went overground, and a self-described "little punk band" like Elastica could sell 80,000 albums in a week.

More than a few loser guitar groups saw Britpop as a licence to print money, but Elastica, led with cool elan by the androgynous Frischmann, were one of its gems. The Blur connection was a marketing godsend (Frischmann and Albarn met on the London indie circuit, she as guitarist in an early line-up of Suede and girlfriend of frontman Brett Anderson, he as a cherubic baggy hopeful), yet the spiky-haired Elastica LP embodied that euphoric time like nothing else.

Frischmann, guitarist Donna Matthews, drummer Justin Welch and bassist Annie Holland were unprepared for the album soaring to number one in its first week. When they signed their record deal, Frischmann, whose great-grandfather was a conductor of the Tsar's orchestra at the Summer Palace in Byelorussia, was five years into an architecture degree at London University. A liberal north London Jewish upbringing - her engineer father built the Oxford Street landmark Centrepoint - had instilled expectations of success, but the reality of being photographed in the supermarket and having her rubbish stolen was a shock. Fiercely independent, she also resented her unsought role as half of Britpop's First Couple.

There was more. Two of Frischmann's musical heroes, The Stranglers and Wire, decided that two Elastica songs were suspiciously similar to two of their own tracks, and won royalties. Meanwhile, there were malicious rumours that Albarn had done much of the work on the record. He hadn't, but he did find Justine's success in America, where she was substantially out-selling Blur, hard to endure.

"It was very hard for him to deal with and he's very confrontational," she says, with the flattering openness of someone who prefers interviews to be more like conversations. She admits she often says too much, but in an era of image control and spin, her honesty makes her a one-off. Not that she's likely to land herself in it too badly - she possesses the intellectual ammunition to look after herself, which must have been instrumental in attracting two of rock's more articulate stars, Albarn and Anderson.

She's been accused of being a professional rock girlfriend, though it was probably they who were lucky to get her. She spent the cab ride over reading the Sylvia Plath letters in Monday's Guardian, and muses on the irony of the poet's subjugating herself to Ted Hughes when she was the more gifted. (Her new boyfriend, by the way, is an unknown photographer, "though that'll probably change, because men seem to get famous when I go out with them".)

"I reacted the way a lot of women do, by being passive," she continues. "He put a lot of pressure on me to give up Elastica. He said, 'You don't want to be in a band, you want to settle down and have kids.' " In so many words? "In so many words. He kept putting on pressure till I started to believe him." She adds bemusedly: "I've met his new girlfriend, and one of the first things she said was that he wanted her to give up travelling with her work to stay home with the baby [Missy, born last autumn]. I'm surprised he's got away with being thought of as a nice person for so long."

After 18 months, during which they did seven American and three Japanese tours, Elastica came off the road to record company demands for an immediate second album. Annie Holland's response was to quit the group, while Donna Matthews became renowned for hard partying on the nocturnal west London scene. They lethargically recorded some demos, but their heart wasn't in it. By 1997, when a second album should have been ready to go, Frischmann and Matthews were barely speaking, and there was nothing useable down on tape.

Holland's replacement, Sheila Chipperfield (of the circus Chipperfields), was deemed not good enough and left by mutual consent. By 1998, their continued lack of productivity was being likened to the Stone Roses' lengthy and ultimately self-destructive holiday between their first and second LPs.

"I didn't think Elastica were going to continue at that point, and we did kinda split up," she says, absently stroking her publicist's cat. Frischmann is a cat person; she's owned a tabby called Benjamin since she was 10. "Unconditional love," she coos. The pet's place in her life is so assured that prospective boyfriends are subjected to his feline scrutiny before she'll go out with them.

On top of everything else, in early 1998 her relationship with Albarn was in trouble. Frischmann retains enough of the indie ethic to detest the phenomenon of celebrity couples, and was dismayed when they became one. "I really hated the tabloid interest, and I went out of my way not to be photographed with him. Only about three pictures of us together exist, I think. In many ways, I think the media interest broke us up, because it made me feel the relationship was quite ugly, and I had to get away from it. There were other factors, too, obviously, because we were together for eight years, and I finally felt it was better the devil you didn't know, really."

Albarn's ego seems to have been severely undermined by having a girlfriend who was nearly as successful as he was, and something of a sex symbol to boot. Despite adopting a resolutely boyish T-shirt-and-jeans uniform, she's thoroughly feminine, a mix that got her voted fifth most fanciable woman in a lesbian magazine.

"I'm completely heterosexual, so I didn't know how to take that. It scares the shit out of me, the idea of being with a girl. I'm glad I've narrowed it down to half the people in the world."

She seems to view Albarn with indulgent exasperation these days, simultaneously praising his intelligence ("The Gallaghers just couldn't compete") and ticking off his flaws. "Damon adores being in the press, and sees all press as good press. He orchestrated that rivalry thing with Oasis. He really wanted kids, and I didn't feel our relationship was stable enough. He was a naughty boy, and he wasn't the right person to have kids with. I had this cathartic moment..."

At which point they split up. Albarn wrote 13 and then met Suzi Winstanley, an artist. "She was pregnant within three months," Justine observes wickedly.

Of the acclaimed 13, she's tactful, describing several songs as "really lovely". She studies her cigarette for a while before adding, "but I'm cynical about selling a record on the back of our relationship". But you're doing the same now. "It's true, but at the time I had no right of reply."

Elastica finally pulled themselves together last year, just as the music industry was about to write them off (their American label had already "very kindly let us go", as she puts it). Holland rejoined, Matthews went to Wales to sort out her life and the band banged out an EP and played the Reading Festival. Things came together quickly after that. They spent the last £10,000 of the recording budget on re-recording a dozen tracks, finishing the album, after years of procrastinating, in six weeks. They've called it The Menace "because that's what it was like to make".

It's dark and resolutely uncommercial - all wrong for 2000's pop-oriented climate. It's unlikely to match the success of the first one, which is fine with them. Call it (though Justine doesn't) their White Album. Its 70s punk aesthetic brings to mind angry girls such as the Slits and the Au Pairs, although the defining mood isn't anger so much as catharsis. None of the songs is specifically about Albarn, she claims. "The dark feeling is due to the sense of isolation, tasting success and getting frightened by it. I was questioning whether I wanted to be in a band any more, and there was no one I could ask for advice. Getting success and everything you ever dreamed about is hard to handle, and makes you question everything."

She's better prepared for success, if it comes again, this time. Already the privacy-preserving barriers are in place. The next interview of the day is with Time Out magazine, which wants a list of her favourite restaurants. "I'm not telling them where I eat," she says reflexively. "I'm gonna lie."

I am looong overdue for a snippet, so I'm dropping a long one to make up for it. I see and appreciate all the tags and love you all so much for nudging me the past couple of weeks to share something. I promise I'm not ignoring you! Just really busy/lazy/preoccupied AF. This snip is from my forthcoming fic (still untitled at the moment) for this year's @onedirectionbigbang, a summertime 90s AU which is a follow-up to I Know You Rider...

Thanks again for the tags @zannithinks @larrysballetslippers @dontworrylouis @ohpleaselarry @stylesthebrave @ladyaj-13 @hershelsue Tagging @lululawrence @parmahamlarrie @thestylinsons @kingsofeverything @jacaranda-bloom @lightwoodsmagic @louandhazaf @crinkle-eyed-boo @adidassquad @larry-hiatus and anyone else who feels like sharing!

✂️Snippet below the cut.✂️

“Hey, I know you’re upset we had to leave early, but look at this weather, huh?” Harry’s mother says, offering a conciliatory smile as she pats his knee, rubbing her thumb in soothing circles. Windshield wipers slap back and forth in time, shucking away the light patter of rain on the glass in a hypnotic rhythm. The hiss of tires driving by on the wet asphalt of the interstate lulls Harry into a daze. He lets his head drop onto the cool glass, resting his forehead on the window. Fixing his gaze on the fog line that passes by in a blur of white paint, it reminds Harry of the white stripes on a certain boy’s beat up black Vans. Apparently, it doesn’t take much for literally anything to remind him of Louis and the week they spent together. “Go ahead and pick something, honey,” Harry’s mom says again as a gentle nudge. Harry reaches under his seat, feeling around for the zippered black nylon Case Logic case they’ve affectionately dubbed ‘the jukebox’ that his mom keeps stocked full of her best road trip tapes. He traces a finger down the line of jewel cases, contemplating his selection. Some are their favorite albums, Stevie Nicks’ Bella Donna, The Big Chill Soundtrack, Paul Simon’s Graceland, others are homemade mix tapes. Hours of careful curation go into each one as she mines her extensive music collection to find songs to suit a particular mood or theme. Then she decorates them. Stickers and Sharpie artwork cover the cassette itself (her signature is a boom box outline using the holes of the tape reels as speakers). Each one has a peculiar name like Radioactive Bubblegum (pop mix), Creamsicles and Slip ‘N Slides (summer mix), Sorcery and Melodrama (divas and musicals). Her personal touches continue with meticulous handwriting and colorful doodles that cover each J-card from corner to corner. If there’s room, she’ll squeeze in a random fact about a band or a quote that suits that mix’s theme. He loves this glimpse into his mother’s creative side and seeing her get swept up in something she’s so passionate about. He gets a sense that not a lot has changed since high school, at least as far as her passion for music is concerned, and sometimes wonders, in another lifetime, if they might’ve been friends. There might be some moms that enjoy flipping casually through the pages of Cosmo or Good Housekeeping, and other boys who steal their older brothers' Playboys. But Harry and his mother Anne aren’t like everyone else. Rolling Stone was their magazine, and he remembers how they both eagerly awaited its arrival every other week in the mailbox. By the time Harry was nine or ten, they were fighting over who got to flip through it first and most nights Harry would read the articles or latest album reviews aloud to her at the kitchen table (instead of doing his homework) as she made them dinner. Music is their shared hobby, and she’s like an encyclopedia of random facts, always peppering them into a casual conversation that Harry absorbs like a sponge. Now that he’s older, he tries to stump Anne with music trivia of his own or tell her about the latest new releases, hoping he might tell her something she doesn’t already know, but that is rarely the case. Either way, she’s always a great sport, playing along and acting surprised when he quizzes her. It’s obvious where his love of music came from, and he’s so thankful that she’s shared it with him. Anne would always try to include his sister Gemma whenever they quizzed each other with music trivia, but she was more interested in her books. He likes that it’s always been their thing. He loves his sister, he really does. They’re very close, as siblings of single parents often are, and have their own things, like their mutual crush on Jordan Catalano, who they both swoon over. They spent their typical Friday night in front of the TV. Mom went to bed right after TGIF ended, then they would stay up way too late, passing a pint of Chubby Hubby back and forth while watching endless reruns of My So-Called Life. But there’s a part of him that’s happy he gets his mother all to himself.
