Friday Jams

First off, I hope everyone has a safe Halloween weekend. Don't eat unwrapped candy from strangers before letting mommy inspect it and shit... you remember the rules. If you see your boy, make sure to give respect in the form of a caucasian. Lemme start your weekend off with even more People Under the Stairs (I know, the blog is real one-dimensional right now). Here's PUTS with The Joyride off the Question in the Form of an Answer LP:

And here's PUTS representing the chill head-nod tip with Plunkin Em off the ...Or Stay Tuned LP:

and off the super rare (only 1000 copies pressed) American Men vol. 1, this is Pulp Fiction ft. Murs:

And although this is a repost, I'll never get sick of The Bomb Combo that only appears on the Best of LP off Om... but I couldn't embed it, so you'll just have to click the link.

Lastly, here's PUTS spittin the positive vibe on Give Love a Chance off Question in the Form of an Answer:

Monday Wake-Up Jawn

Such a great weekend... more on that in a minute, here's People Under the Stairs with Listen off their new album Carried Away:

Got down to south Florida at 3pm on Friday. After dinner with my parents, I went to meet up with Sean. We caught up for a bit and made our way downtown to get a couple drinks. I ran into lots of St. Thomas folks, but it was great seeing Mike. I finally made it home to my parents' house at 5:30 and fell into bed.

I woke up at ten on Saturday and had breakfast with my parents. I scooped Sean up around one, and we made our way to the Clemson v. Miami game with my parents. Great game, and we had great seats to watch Clemson edge by the U in overtime. There were lots of funny stories involving a certain Miami fan who was talking mad yang to me and ended up crying when I "reinvented swagger" on my way out of the section. Afterwards, Sean came to dinner with us, and then he and I went out to a local pub to hang. Once again, I made it home around 5 after Sean and I drove around late night like we used to do in high school... then I flew home Sunday Morning.

New PUTS Album

For those that follow the blog, you already know that I am a big fan of People Under the Stairs. In case you didn't know, their 7th(!) album comes out today, and it's called Carried Away. The nice folks over at fifty-two.five hooked me up with a copy on Friday, and I haven't listened to anything else but Carried Away since I got my hands on it. I've played snippets from the disc for a few friends (Cam, Mel, Rob) and everyone's really feeling it. The CD (and double vinyl next week, if you get down like I get down) come with lots of extras (download codes for ringtones, the Trippin at the Disco video, a live track, and a drinking board game that you play along to the album). Basically, go out to your local record store and cop that shit. If you live in Charleston, be sure to get it from fifty-two.five... you'll need a forklift to pick up your jaw when you hear the last track.

Monday Wake-Up Jawn

So... about ten minutes after I finished posting the last edition of Friday Jams, I went to soulstrut, and DJ Day had just posted the official video for People Under the Stairs' Trippin at the Disco. It's super funny, and a great way to start your week. Peep:

Friday Jams

This week has been all about the laziness. I've been listening to a lot of records lately, tho. Hunter and I are getting are sets ready for Kulture Klash 5 (Nov. 6th and 7th), and you should definitely mark those dates in your calender. We're working on a whole grip of surprises for that show. This show will be unlike any other Bubbleguts show, and we're looking forward to flipping the script for our fans and showing a whole new audience what we do.

Anyway, People Under the Stairs have a new album coming out on Tuesday, and I already have doubles of the advance single; Trippin at the Disco:

Lemme just say right off... that song is my fuckin jam. The snippets from the album that I've heard got my nose open like Woody Allen sneezing on the blow in Annie Hall.

The B-side of the TATD 12" has a DJ Day remix that is even better than Thes One's OG (no youtube post yet). If you don't know about Day, that's one of my heroes on turntables. Kid is stupid creative and inventive with his mixes and blends. Here's one of his first releases; Four Hills:

One of my favorite DJ Day jawns (and although this is a repost, I don't care) is his remix of Nas' It Ain't Hard to Tell. Just listen to it, it doesn't need any hype:

To close things out, here's DJ Day live at Morefire Mondays in Cali:
