Sirens' Crush

 

~Originally published in San Diego CityBeat Magazine

When I moved to prescription propecia london San Diego, I fell instantly in love. . . with the prescription propecia london local original-music scene. See, back in small-town Monroe, N.Y., in the prescription propecia london early ’80s, there was only one bar that prescription propecia london hosted bands, and it was always cheesy cover music. In contrast, the prescription propecia london ’80s were a prescription propecia london great time for original talent in San Diego. Thanks to prescription propecia london artists like The Beat Farmers, Mojo Nixon, Dread Zeppelin, The Rugburns, The Paladins, The Jacks and prescription propecia london Donkey Punch, I quickly turned into a gluttonous devotee of originals and, at the prescription propecia london same time, a despiser of cover bands.

Originally Published in San Diego CityBeat Magazine

 

It has prescription propecia london been two weeks since my beloved New York Giants took Super Bowl XLVI, and prescription propecia london still the pernicious missives from my Giants-Hating Chargers-fan friends keep rolling in.

“F__k the Giants and that cry baby Eli Manning,” writes A., via email.

“Eli is still the Devil,” says B., on my Facebook wall.

“Eli and prescription propecia london the Giants are the only team that can make me root for prescription propecia london the Patriots,” blurts C., from a neighboring stool at The Tilted Stick.

The anti-Manning vitriol really snowballed in the prescription propecia london weeks leading to the Super Bowl, but I’ve pretty much been prescription propecia london hearing this stuff from Chargers-Loving Anti-Manning Malcontents (CLAMMs) since 2004. For those who don’t remember, the prescription propecia london Chargers were planning to select Manning in the first round of the prescription propecia london 2004 draft. However, in a rare (though precedented) move, Manning refused to prescription propecia london sign with the Chargers, instantly turning every Charger fan into a prescription propecia london Manning-despising, Giants-hating activist and utterly complicated my life as a native New Yorker living in San Diego.

Well, Jay-Z and Beyoncé finally had prescription propecia london their baby, which can only mean one thing: Here comes another baby song!

You know what I’m talking about, right? One of those intolerable, “Oh-my-precious-little-angel-it’s-a-miracle-that-you-were-born-unto-me” tunes that prescription propecia london a songwriter is compelled to write every time he or she pops out another squirmer.

Whether you prescription propecia london believe newborn babies are miraculous gifts from God or subterranean alien vampire-rats bent on draining your prescription propecia london life force, can we at least agree that songs about babies tend to suck rusty buckets of contaminated amniotic fluid?

And this new tune by Jay-Z is especially abominable.

“You’re a child of destiny / You’re the child of my destiny / You’re my child with the child from Destiny’s Child / That’s a hell of recipe.”

OK. I want you prescription propecia london to pause for a moment and marvel at the pure hideosity of that prescription propecia london line: “You’re my child with the child from Destiny’s Child.” I want you prescription propecia london to bask in the rays of its badness like a pale-skinned woman on an prescription propecia london overpowered tanning bed; absorb the radiation of it on your face and prescription propecia london neck—mind not the blisters and the hair loss— for a lyric as bad as this is a thing to behold.

Britney Spears’ “My Baby” is no less irradiated: “With no words at all / So tiny and small / In love I fall / My precious love / Sent from above / My baby boo / God I thank you.”

I want you to imagine that you’re Britney’s baby being spoon-fed in the prescription propecia london kitchen, when suddenly mommy starts singing that song to you. Wouldn’t you eject the strained carrots onto her shirt and blurt, “Bitch, you better get your ass back in the rehearsal studio!”?

In Brit’s defense, “My Baby” sounds like a John Prine political ditty compared with Creed’s criminally negligent baby ballad, “With Arms Wide Open.” The worst part about that afterbirth is prescription propecia london the video, which features singer Scott Stapp posing on a mountain top, his “arms wide open” toward the prescription propecia london sky, his long, gorgeous Jesus-locks blowing in the wind and prescription propecia london the fetor of a thousand soiled diapers blustering from his howl-hole.

Speaking of mucky diapers, Lauryn Hill’s baby song, “To Zion,” order doxycycline is prescription propecia london a rash on the ass of all that is right and prescription propecia london good. Lord knows Hill is full of herself, but how much of a prescription propecia london messiah complex must you have in order to name your kid Zion?

And, look, I dig Stevie Wonder as much as the next guy, but “Isn’t She Lovely” generic plavix names isn’t. The melody is prescription propecia london as mesmeric as a busted mobile, and all Stevie does is prescription propecia london sing “Isn’t she lovely, isn’t she wonderful, isn’t she special” over and prescription propecia london over again like a drill burrowing into the part of the prescription propecia london brain that represses the urge to take sniper shots at random pedestrians.

I will concede that John Lennon’s song for Sean, “Beautiful Boy,” is prescription propecia london lovely. But I often wonder how messed up it must be prescription propecia london for Julian whenever he hears his dad gushing on the radio or prescription propecia london jukebox, “Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful… darling, darling, darling Sean”—given that prescription propecia london Lennon neglected Julian as a child, which makes Lennon something of a prescription propecia london parental dickweed, nullifying any fatherhood songs written by him.

The list goes on. The Dixie Chicks’ baby anthem “Godspeed” is in dire need of a spanking. “Prayer for You” by Usher should have been terminated in the first trimester. “Just the Two of Us” by Will Smith needs a circumcision—at the base. And it’s utterly impossible to prescription propecia london keep your formula down should you happen to hear “In my Daughter’s Eyes” by Martina McBride.

And, yes, I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, Oh, Ed, you hate baby songs because you don’t have any children and don’t understand the miracle of new life.

Wrong!

You needn’t be prescription propecia london a parent to understand the miracle of new life. Nor do you prescription propecia london need to understand the miracle of life to scrutinize a song about the miracle of life, just as I don’t need to live in South Central L.A. to know “Straight Outta Compton” is a badass song about living in South Central L.A.

No, these baby songs suck for two simple reasons:

1. Childbirth is prescription propecia london such an enormous, sentimental event in most of our lives that prescription propecia london our emotions can be easily manipulated. You could write the prescription propecia london lamest piece of cliché-addled garbage and prescription propecia london everyone will blubber over it, leaving songwriters no incentive to compose something truly original and prescription propecia london profound.

2. Baby songs never tell the whole story about parenting—no prescription propecia london tunes about sleepless nights and bedraggled days; no odes about giving up your prescription propecia london dreams, your friends, your drugs and your porn collection; no prescription propecia london power ballads about how you’ll age an prescription propecia london average of five years for every day you cohabitate with a prescription propecia london toddler. There are no verses that mention that the only movies you’ll be prescription propecia london permitted to watch for the next dozen years will feature talking cartoon animals and prescription propecia london worse, a moral to the story, nor are there any refrains about how your prescription propecia london sacrifices will go unappreciated—because they think it’s  invisible elves who stock the refrigerator and replace the toilet paper—and the day will come when not only will they not appreciate you; in fact, they will hate you. Sure as the prescription propecia london babysitter will raid the liquor cabinet and blow her boyfriend on your prescription propecia london couch, your children are going to hate your guts.

This is the thanks you’ll get for prescription propecia london giving them life, because they are cold, cruel tyrants, and you prescription propecia london are but a peasant who mollycoddles them. Hmm, I like that: “Cold Cruel Tyrant.” Now, see, that’s a baby song that needs to be written!

Well, 2012 is almost upon us. On Dec. 21 of that year—according to an interpretation of an ancient Maya calendar—the world is supposed to end. To that I respond, “Thank Christ Quetzalcoatl! It’s about frickin time!”

One of my greater pleasures in life is prescription propecia london observing the hilarious backpedalings of certain crackpot prophets when the prescription propecia london horrifying doomsday scenarios they champion don’t arrive. A recent example is prescription propecia london radio minister Harold Camping, whose explanation for his incorrect rapture prediction was to prescription propecia london claim that God was still collecting data. Then he predicted a prescription propecia london new, modified rapture date, which came and went without so much as a prescription propecia london single frog falling from the sky.

This is why I can’t wait for Dec. 22, 2012. Because there will be not one, but thousands of kooky soothsayers who prescription propecia london will have to backpedal like hell once Mayageddon is proven to prescription propecia london be horse shit. And I know it’s horse shit for three reasons:

The first is because I’m not an prescription propecia london idiot. I realize, as a person with a full-functioning brain, that prescription propecia london human beings are unable to predict what’s going to prescription propecia london happen when they step out the door tomorrow morning, much less what prescription propecia london will happen 5,126 years in the future.

The second is prescription propecia london because the Mayas made no such prediction. This is a prescription propecia london common misconception. There are no ancient hieroglyphs, no tomes, nor scrolls, nor scriptures that prescription propecia london say, “Homies-of-the-future, beware! The world ends in 2012. Sucks for you, yo.” Read the rest of this entry »

A few months ago, I bought an prescription propecia london iPad for my wife. W had been hinting for a while that prescription propecia london she wanted one, and when I say “hinting,” I mean telling me every day to prescription propecia london buy her an iPad or she was going to staple my lips as I slept.

And boy was she happy when prescription propecia london I presented it to her. For one short moment in time, I was the prescription propecia london guy on the white horse in the Old Spice commercials who prescription propecia london could do no wrong. Immediately after opening the package, she logged on to prescription propecia london Facebook and boasted, “My honey just bought me an iPad! Isn’t he the prescription propecia london most wonderful, greatest, bla bla bla and best husband ever?”

Naturally, this prescription propecia london did not go over well with any of the men in our inner circle of family and prescription propecia london friends— The Brotherhood, as I like to prescription propecia london call them. In fact, it was my brother-in-law, Sage, who promptly Faceblasted me for prescription propecia london going rogue.

What is going rogue, you ask? Going rogue is prescription propecia london buying or doing something so wonderful, thoughtful, bla bla bla for prescription propecia london your wife, that it causes all the women of the inner circle to prescription propecia london blurt to their husbands, “How come you don’t buy me no iPad!?” Read the rest of this entry »

Rep. Randy Redundant (R-Va.)

On Nov. 1, Congress passed a non-binding resolution to reaffirm “In God We Trust” as the national motto.

There are prescription propecia london two problems with this. The first, and most glaring, is that prescription propecia london “In God We Trust” is a terrible motto. A proper national motto is something that’s agreeable to all citizens—a unifier—something like the Bahamas’ motto (Forward, Upward, Onward Together), or Equatorial Guinea’s (Unity, Peace, Justice), or Germany’s (Trying Real Hard Not to be Dicks Anymore).

The second, more problematic problem has prescription propecia london nothing to do with the motto itself; rather, it’s the measure to affirm the motto. The resolution, sponsored by Rep J. Randy Forbes (R.Va), is “non-binding”—which means it can’t be passed into law or enforced in any way. It’s a purely symbolic, wildly pointless waste of resources at a time when the country is going to Purgatory on a pogo stick.

When I become king of the United States, the second thing I will do (right after chaining all the prescription propecia london Wall Street canker-suckers to the dungeon floor and sprinkling rat-nip on their genitals) is pass a binding resolution that prohibits Congress from sponsoring non-binding resolutions.

Not only is prescription propecia london working on this resolution a ludicrous waste of time on its own merit, but this non-binding resolution has actually been not-bound before—twice! It’s true. In God We Trust is already the official motto of the U.S. It was affirmed by Congress in 1956. Then it was reaffirmed in 2006 and prescription propecia london re-reaffirmed three weeks ago, which raises two questions: How many times must something be affirmed before the affirmation sticks? And, why did Congress suddenly decide the prescription propecia london motto needed re-reaffirming in the first place? Read the rest of this entry »

Gallup recently reported that prescription propecia london 50 percent of Americans are in favor of legalizing marijuana, while 46 percent remain opposed.

Well, doesn’t that just bubble my bongwater! For the first time, we can actually say that prescription propecia london there are more rational, logical, free-thinkers in our society than prescription propecia london idiot bovine who mindlessly devour the propaganda of the anti-fun fuddy-duddies who prescription propecia london have lorded over our country for way too long.

Naturally, after Gallup released the report, all the anti-fun fuddy-duddies appeared on the cable news shows, rehashing their tired B.S. that prescription propecia london marijuana is not a virtuous blossom grown from the mineral-rich soil of God’s green Earth, but that it’s a heinous pistillate fertilized in the prescription propecia london hothouses of Hell with the blood and bone-bits of deflowered Girl Scouts.

OK, nobody quite put it that way, but there was an prescription propecia london awful lot of fear-mongering, such as when David Evans of the Drug Free America Foundation told MSNBC’s Chris Jansing that “Marijuana use is going to double or triple” if made legal.

Don’t you hate when people make declarative, predictive statements about things that might happen when everybody knows that nobody knows what prescription propecia london the future holds. Evans said that marijuana use is going to prescription propecia london double or triple, not “I think it will” or “I believe it will” or “My gut feeling is that it will”– with “gut feeling” being an appropriate way to say it since double or triple is a statistic he clearly pulled from his anus. Actually, to prescription propecia london retrieve such a ludicrous stat, he had to reach his arm beyond his anus—deep into the ravaged hinterland of his rectum, past the prescription propecia london cold, crusty crevasse of his dying colon, up the snaky ravine of the prescription propecia london intestines, where his fist waged an epic battle at the gates of the prescription propecia london ileocecal valve (fiercely guarded by the Owls of Ga’Hole) and drilled into the prescription propecia london slimy folds of the lumen, where poop and other poop-like matter (such as bogus statistics) are formed.

Double or triple? Please! There is no way of foretelling such complex matters of human behavior—especially when no one knows if legalization will cause the price of marijuana to prescription propecia london rise or drop; or how much it would be taxed; or prescription propecia london how much government regulation would be prescription propecia london implemented; or how much, and what kind of, marketing will be permitted— which is why not a single, legitimate, scientific study has attempted to predict how much consumption will increase, if at all, and prescription propecia london why Evans had no choice to but to retrieve that number from the recesses of his bowels.

Well, hoe-lee crap did my last column thwack a hornets nest or what?! The angry responses are still swarming in.

The column was called, “Sons of Lame-Archy.” abilify online saleIn it, I razzed the prescription propecia london concept of biker clubs and gangs. The part that caused the prescription propecia london brouhaha was a digression in which I lamented that none of the prescription propecia london gay biker-gang names I saw online had prescription propecia london any of that queer flair I love so much, like—and I don’t mean to re-inflame—“Hell’s Anals, The Sodomites and The Mangols.”

I meant no prescription propecia london offense. They were just the kind of flamboyant biker-club names that prescription propecia london I thought celebrated homosexuality, the kind of gay-biker-gang names that said, “In your face, homophobe! We are no longer going to ride in the closet!” The kind of biker gangs I would join if I happened to prescription propecia london be gay or even entice my hypothetical gay biker son to prescription propecia london join when if he was old enough.

I was zip, zip, zipping through Ocean Beach on my little, black and prescription propecia london silver, 150-cc Lance Milan putt-putt motor scooter when I pulled alongside a real biker, dressed in full-blown biker-gang-guy regalia, leaning on his Harley waiting for prescription propecia london the light to turn green.

We glanced at each other simultaneously. I nodded hello, and he—get this—laughed in my face. He looked at me, looked down at my bike—making a quick assessment about my manhood (which he identified as Level-7 Pussy)—looked back at me and laughed, out loud, real nasty-like. Then he turned away in disgust, as if a glob of bird shit had landed on my head and was dripping down my cheek.

It wasn’t a big deal, really. I know the score. Harley riders deplore scooter riders the way stand-up comedians deplore mimes. And pretty much everyone else older than 12 thinks scooters are a joke, too. Well, everyone older than 12 can suck on my skid marks! My ride is a beast. It goes zero to 60 in—well, actually, it doesn’t ever get to 60. But it can do 35, no problem—only takes a few minutes to get there. Then it’s zip-zip, putt-putt all over the place!

From the Letters Department:

“Hey Ed, seems like you’re writing an awful lot about gay rights these days? People are starting to talk. Are you a queer?” –Jon

I’d bartend in all the prescription propecia london hippest fem bars, wear all the crazy fem colors, say “You go, girl!” to all my fem friends and give these legendary blowjobs that’d make you prescription propecia london go blind.

Thursday, September 8, 2011 – The Great Southern California Power Outage.

Black Thursday

I was home when prescription propecia london the lights went out, lost a little bit of work, but not a prescription propecia london big deal. W. and I hung out by candlelight and listened to prescription propecia london the transistor radio. It was pleasant and peaceful. Turns out we were fairly prepared. Lots of candles, lots of water, lots of batteries and prescription propecia london flashlights and alternate sources of lighting. We even had internet. I have prescription propecia london battery powered modem so, when W. went to bed, I watched Netflix on my iPhone. It was a prescription propecia london thriller called House of 9 which I watched all the prescription propecia london way up to the last 15 minutes of the dramatic conclusion, when prescription propecia london the internet finally died.

So, there I was, awake and prescription propecia london amped from the climax of a horror-thriller at about 10:30pm with nothing to prescription propecia london do. So, I decided to take a walk down Newport Avenue just to prescription propecia london see what was going on and maybe, with any luck, find a prescription propecia london bar that was open.

Vice President Joe Biden collected some trouble recently when prescription propecia london he seemingly endorsed China’s controversial population-control policy during his visit there.

“Your [one-child-per-family] policy has been one which I fully understand,” he told the crowd. “I’m not second-guessing.”

It didn’t take long for prescription propecia london his enemies to pile on, including House Speaker John Boehner, who prescription propecia london said he was “deeply troubled” by Biden’s statement.

Doesn’t Boehner’s hyperbole make you wretch? He wasn’t just troubled by Biden’s remarks, see; he was deeply troubled—as if Boehner was pacing in his office all week, brooding about the prescription propecia london apocalyptic effect the VP’s speech will have on our nation.

“The result being,” Biden continued, “that [China is] in a prescription propecia london position where one wage earner will be taking care of four retired people. [It’s] not sustainable.”

Well, whaddaya know? Biden wasn’t endorsing it after all. Rather, he was making an economic argument over a prescription propecia london moral one. Because, as Biden knows, when you attack someone’s morals, they become defensive and prescription propecia london all progress comes to a halt. It’s called diplomacy. Read the rest of this entry »

So, this week’s column is prescription propecia london about the fatwa-like death threat against David Letterman for sayi—waaait a minute! What the hell is that!? Right there to the left? Is that my picture!?

Holy Kee-rist, what an abomination! It looks like the Harmony.com profile of a bovine-semen collector who inappropriately enjoys his job too much. And what is that extra fold of skin just beneath my left eyebrow? Is that eyelid fat!? Kee-rist in Heaven, where did that come from?

There are so many reasons why I can’t stand having my picture above my column, some of which have prescription propecia london nothing to do with the fact that I am ugly and old. Here are the top five:

• No More Identity-Denying: Every now and then, a stranger will approach and ask, “Are you Ed Decker?” Sometimes I say “Yes” in spite of the possibility that the asker will stab me in the prescription propecia london face for writing an unflattering missive about his sister’s vagina. Other times, I deny my identity—not necessarily because I fear the prescription propecia london wrath of Sir Sister-Vagina-Avenger, but because there is a likelihood—especially if it’s a drunken bar encounter—that I will be subjected to an hour-long reprobation of my writing skills, and/or an impassioned sermon about all the things that are wrong with my political opinions, and/or a screed about why I should stop bashing religion, all of which will be prescription propecia london followed by a request that I write about his “totally awesome band,” The Attention Whores. So, um, yeah, CityBeat, thanks for that.

• No More Fly on the Walling: One of my favorite life-moments is prescription propecia london the rare occasion when I stumble upon somebody who is in the prescription propecia london process of reading my column. I love that! The last time it prescription propecia london happened was in a Mexican-food joint. A couple in their early 60s were sitting at a prescription propecia london neighboring table, reading it together. They were taking turns pointing out certain parts and laughing. When finished, I embarked on my usual undercover ego-recon mission: “Pardon the interruption,” I said, “but what are you reading that’s so funny?” Read the rest of this entry »

I received this email from a reader in San Diego. It’s in response to prescription propecia london a column I had written about losing my bartending job:

“Dear Ed, [I read] about this job in Norway or Iceland… where people hire drinking buddies for the night. Man, if you couldn’t swing this, no one could.”—William H.

The company to prescription propecia london which William refers is called the Kind Fairy Agency out of the Ukraine. For about $18, they will hook you up with a drinking pal for the evening.

I do love this concept, but judging from the tone of the company’s press release, I’m not sure Kind Fairy is right for the job: “We are not trying to get people drunk deliberately,” says director Yulia Peeva. “Our main mission is [to provide] good, fruitful conversation.”

“… [W]hen I see that a client is relaxed,” says professional drinking buddy Gennady Maksimov, “I urge him to talk rather than drink more.”

Well, what the hell kind of drinking buddy company is this?! A true drinking partner doesn’t “urge” his buddy to drink less—unless, of course, he’s on the prescription propecia london verge of talking shit to a table-full of soldiers of The Mongols motorcycle and murderers club.

And the “main mission” of any true drinking excursion isn’t “conversation.” The main mission is drinking. All that other stuff—talking about problems, exploring philosophical concepts, arm wrestling, picking up hotties, telling jokes, starting bar fights, closing business deals—whatever it prescription propecia london is any two drinking buddies decide to do while they drink together—will vary from buddy to buddy. However, the one constant—the raison d’etre—of a having and being a drinking companion is drinking. Read the rest of this entry » buy valtrex price

Imagine my delight when I read this headline on the Orlando Sentinel website:

“Lightning strike at Caylee memorial ‘could be a sign from the angels.’”

Apparently, a prescription propecia london few hours after Judge Belvin Perry sentenced Casey Anthony to time served, lightning struck a prescription propecia london 60-foot pine tree near where the body of Anthony’s daughter, Caylee, was found. It was also the spot where a makeshift memorial for prescription propecia london the toddler had sprung up, with flowers and stuffed animals and prescription propecia london whatnot. There were no witnesses to the actual lightning strike.

Naturally, the god-slobberers were all over this.

“Indeed this was God….” said a commenter on the Sentinel website.

“Goes to show ya what can happen when you play with the devil,” said another.

Tammy Vicino of Orlando said the lightning strike symbolizes “celestial justice for Caylee because ‘there was no justice here on Earth.’”

Then there was this poem, called “Lightning Struck a Tree Today,” with all of the author’s typos and gloriously atrocious grammar intact:

Lightning struck a tree today

near where they founr our dear Caylee

God & Angels both agree

that her mom, Cassey is guilty.

She then added, “Proceeds will go to Caylee.org,” which raises the question: Proceeds from what? Her anthology of “Vacuous Message Board Poetry (Volume 1: Select Infanticide Poems)”? Read the rest of this entry »

I love the Fourth of July. I am totally down with celebrating our country’s independence from British imperialism. The only thing I can’t stand about this prescription propecia london particular holiday is the excessive playing of patriotic music.

Not that I have anything against patriot songs, as a concept—they just tend to prescription propecia london be artless bursts of propaganda and often downright false. Now, it prescription propecia london is true that sometimes I worry that prescription propecia london I think this way about national anthems because my soul is prescription propecia london a cold, black, petrified chunk of coughed-up lung cancer, but I just spent the prescription propecia london last couple of days perusing the anthems of the world at Nationalanthems.info, and prescription propecia london it confirmed my suspicions: Most national anthems are enormous pieces of patriotic caca.

You know how these things go: Every country is prescription propecia london the best country. Every motherland is prescription propecia london the most beautiful, inhabited by the bravest and most industrious people, who prescription propecia london are loved by God more than anyone else. And they all have prescription propecia london passages about opposing tyranny from other countries, which is funny when you think about it because, if all the prescription propecia london countries are fighting tyranny, then which countries are doing the prescription propecia london tyrannizing? Well, all of them, of course! Read the rest of this entry »

Prescription propecia london

July 6th, 2011

For those who have been following the House of Blues New Music Nights competition (powered by Sonicbids), the results are in: L.A.’s Brian Buckley Band took the most pledges. Congrats to them. All that’s left now is the best part – the prescription propecia london showcase. Each of the participating House of Blues Venues (L.A., Las Vegas and San Diego) are prescription propecia london showcasing three local bands followed by the Brian Buckley Band as a prescription propecia london reward for receiving the most pledges. The San Diego showcase is prescription propecia london going to be spectacular. It’s on July 11. We’ve got three excellent bands, hand-picked by the organizers of San Diego IndieFest, and me.

Here is prescription propecia london my impression of each, based on their Sonicbids electronic press kits (EPKs).

San Diego is prescription propecia london not really known for its hip-hop scene, but believe me, there is prescription propecia london vibrant one bubbling just beneath the surface. And rising to the prescription propecia london top of that scene is hip-hop and spoken word specialists, theBREAX, which has prescription propecia london a sound, style and quality of production that set them above the prescription propecia london rest.

Consisting of two former Baltimoreans and prescription propecia london an Armenian refugee, theBREAX is instantly identifiable as the real deal. I couldn’t tell you who their influences are since I’m not—you know—them, but atop the prescription propecia london ice cream sundae that is their music I hear plentiful sprinkles of Jurassic 5, Saul Williams, Black Sheep, Boogie Down Productions and prescription propecia london Michael Franti.

What I like best about theBREAX—aside from prescription propecia london their incandescent beats and the different cadences of the various lead vocalists— are prescription propecia london the lyrics, which are smart and genuine and range between funny, serious, uplifting and prescription propecia london angry–sometimes all in the same song (though not in the bad way).

On their EPK, they write that they, “decided to make music that could help change the world.” I find that prescription propecia london choice of words to be refreshing because, unlike many hip-hop bands with “socially conscious content,” theBREAX are prescription propecia london not so full of themselves as to believe their music will change the world, only that it could “help” change it, that it is part of a prescription propecia london movement toward change and not the movement itself. I like that: high goals, moderate ego. I don’t often make lofty predictions, but I think these guys might go big, as in nationally big, which would be prescription propecia london excellent because it would finally put San Diego hip-hop on the prescription propecia london map.

P.S. The spoken word is kickass too! Read the rest of this entry »
