I learned just recently that Tobacco produced a DVD for Fucked Up Friends. It’s times like these that I wonder, if I was buying discs instead of mp3’s would I have known sooner? Where was this information hiding?

Regardless, I found the whole thing on Vimeo - click here. Get ready for ninjas, dildos, Teddy Ruxpin, and a good helping of Richard Simmons.

In a recent interview, Tom Fec, the man behind the mask behind Tobacco (and Black Moth Super Rainbow) takes a moment to explore his obsession for eighties work out tapes. Since after watching the FuF video you are probably asking similar questions, here’s the article and that includes a link to a track from Tobacco’s latest, Maniac Meat. You can hear more of Maniac Meat by searching our web site or tuning in in these next few weeks.

Tobacco is on the anticon. lable.

Our friend Voidstarrunner and his friends ITSOVERTURE are playing at Fontana’s in the city tomorrow night. Bound to be awesome.

info: http://www.voidstarrunner.com/

Our Top 10 of 2009 lists will be up soon as well as, perhaps, a review of Gogol Bordello I wrote for thecore.fm. peace in 2010!

Awesome.

.

!!!!!!!!!!!!Our show is now 8-10p on Sundays!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’ve been so busy migrating all our antiquated systems to brand new pica-sized servers, and Jaye has been working hard at grad school. But the show must go on! I have a lot of work tidying and updating up our page here, and as a sign of good faith. Here is a video of an awesome song.

p.s. I have an idea for a new look for the site, I’ll be working on that with some free time!

I hope everyone’s havin a groovy summer! We sure are, and we’re so busy in the city with shows and events, so I hope you follow us on Twitter, where we do most of our concert announcements and updates. It’s electroph baby!

I also hope you got to check out Chuck Brown at Battery Park. That man and his big band are awesome. He had is family up there with him, and probably the best part - next to the non-stop swingin melodies backed by breakbeat funk - was his grandson, freestyling! The kid must be 9 years old and a frikin natural. He seemed unsure of when or what to start with when given the mic, but I think it was a hustle because he went full force. Everyone was dancing, some more than others. Picture it: average to small-sized middle-aged man, bushy frizzed out gray ponytail tamed back by a long flowing pink bandana, black t-shirt and tight black jeans like a roadie for Squeeze, tie-die socks and black sandals, displaying the most fancy footwork I’ve seen since… ever. Dancing wide circles, swinging his hips, twisting them and his ankles while hopping on the beat, with the most serious, unmoving stare. SO excellent.
I thought Mr. Brown mistakenly addressed us like we were in DC, but apparently some of his DC fans came up to see him. They are dedicated. And he loved them, but not without mentioning NYC is “open 24-7″, making me feel like I was in a Wawa commercial filmed by Spike Jonze/Adam Spiegel.

Twittering. What’s it all about? I’m not sure, but I’ll let you in on a little secret… I just did. @electroph

From Droppin Science Fiction… Notice the voodoo between our new skin and the female-in-space scenes. Wild!! They look beautiful together. And I think they borrowed a set from Astronaut Jones.

[video:vimeo:3478299]

The Mighty Underdogs are Gift of Gab (from Blackalicious and featured in N.A.S.A.’s Spirit of Apollo), Lateef The Truthspeaker (from Latyrx) and produced by Headnodic (of Crown City Rockers) on the Definitive Jux label. You can catch other songs from Droppin Science Fiction on Show 21 and Show 24.
