Sometimes at home I like to listen to the preloaded music channels. When listening to the classic rock channel, this gem came on:

Aged Spooky Tooth today (note orange jumpsuit and keytar):
More golden nuggets of corn for The Shit Mix Three…
Scott Walker’s new album “Bish Bosch” comes out December 3, 2012. The first video preview off of it is very disturbing, beautiful, and leaves you with a complete “WTF” feeling.
Personally, I think he’s cracked up entirely! Can’t say I’m complaining about it, though. This video is a good 10 minutes of interesting video… the song is just crazy.
Great interview here.
Music that had to be made… and QUICKLY (as usual, the speed of creativity being a major ingredient to the Hozpitality formula). (Yes, that is dangerously tan Justin Bieber flipping off Mitt Romney… Thank you!)
This release is so small, we have placed the tracks below for instant streaming.
Track 1 – Romney Plan(0:38)
Lyrics:
Now if you live in America, you know this next song,
Tap it, tap it in thats a zinger,
And tell me how to poke it on Tuesday,
Dang no one’s happy.
Special shout out to Nu Shooz.
Track 2 – Passyunk Sweat Lodge(2:05)
Just passin the mic around. An urban native American feel.
Track 3 – CeMeGo MsNeebo Alchemist Let It Flow(Tatooine)(3:11)
A rap song… with teeth. Blow for blow with Alchemist and MsNeebo (and robot voice thing).
Track 4 – I Have No Idea(1:23)
Passin the mic around again. Featuring Bitchin Bob as beat box extraordinaire.

Dabbling around with Ableton Live and the Korg MicroKey 37.
Whole lotta nonsense!
CHOB = Chad and Bob.
I had this idea, which came from the first track on this album, to create more music that sounds like the following:
Bob and I have many years of exposure to this type of music and thoroughly enjoy it as a unique and special artform. We wanted to make some music that didn’t start from or required a rhythm section. To be honest, there are a few drum tracks on this album, but they were intentionally moved to the back of the mix to make room for the sonic palette on display for these tracks. There is no mistaking the quality of the sounds in the musical toys/instruments we use, and we wanted to have fun putting these on display a little more.
So there are no vocals/lyrics, and there’s not a lot of “hot driving dance beats”. This is more of an exploration of the sonic “colour” in our heads and our devices. The first track, “Egyptian Forward”, was the inspiration to start this journey. To make a bookend, a portion of “Egyptian Forward” was segmented and shortened. The left channel of this track was reversed while the right side moves in a forward direction, hence the title “Egyptian Crossing”. (I personally loved the original track so much I thought it sounded good backwards too!)
Never enough credit goes to Bitchin Bob for editing genius, insight/perspective, and laughs o’plenty. I swear we both learn more about the tools of this trade every time we do this stuff. Learning has never been so much fun!

BIG NEWS! Hozpitality fans have a reason to live. The follow up to Hozpitality’s 5th album Toddler Sized Shark Cage is coming SOON! REMAIN CALM!
Happy Birthday Bryan Ferry. You consumed my youth…now you consume my middle age…
Wonder if his 67 year old ass can still pull this off:
Politics pissin you off? The rape and pillage of the weak and suffering? Cant take it? Don’t know what to do?
Play this song REALLY LOUD until you laugh your ass off. Play it REALLY loud and see if you can piss anyone off with it!
Somehow it makes me feel better…
One of my heroes…
This was a collaborative effort, which is the cornerstone of Hozpitality, to incorporate new creative techniques with a few new gadgets. Technology is a wonderful thing, great (and somewhat silly) minds make technology better. Once again, a lovingly slapped together assemblage of “heightened musical vignettes”.
The creative process involved in this album caused laughter to tears. Enjoy!
