Turn My Headphones Up - November 2013

"You got a math problem? She gon' stomp it out."

I've been kinda terrible with posting this month, but I better start getting back into the swing of things. Last Friday was the latest episode of Turn My Headphones Up and as playlists go, it's probably one of my favorite for the year. Well, at least I think the first hour is pretty solid, mix-wise. So that's something, right?

One of my favorite rap people as of late is Chicago's ShowYouSuck. I intended to play a bit more of his stuff on the show, but for some reason it didn't work out. He's got some crazy stuff. Kind of reminds me of a more polished gmcfosho (a mix of weird/funny/nerd stuff, but still a bit too street to categorize as nerdcore). Anyway, ShowYouSuck dropped like 9 mixtapes and EPs in 2013. Even the album covers are interesting.

I also played a couple of tracks from Fatoni & Edgar Wasser's Nocebo album, which has been in heavy rotation for awhile.  It's not so brand new anymore, but it's probably going to stay in heavy rotation a bit longer. At least until the end of the month when NMZS's Der Ekelhafte. It'd be a Christmas miracle (hinthint@youknowwhoyouare.com), if the Antilopen Gang interview could be broadcast by next month. If not, rest assured, you'll hear some tracks from the new album anyway. Pre-orders have been on sale since November 14th. The first 200 pre-orders got a comic book hand-drawn by NMZS. The first 200 pre-orders also sold out in about 2 minutes. But, if you don't want to buy it, you'll still be able to download the album for free on the Antilopen Gang website. Nice, right?

Anyway, the playlist is after the jump (plus links to downloads and such). The show before mine went almost 10 minutes overtime, so the very last song. So if you want to hear that Johnny Polygon track, you can click here.

The Best Taco Bell in Germany

 Last weekend, I crossed off a major item on my bucket list. I went to Taco Bell in Germany. "But Raven, shouldn't you aspire to better, healthier things that have a measurable positive impact on society?" I know that's what you're thinking, but I don't really give a crap... because you are not the boss of me.  I wanted Taco Bell, because it's probably the one thing from back at home that I crave the most. Say what you want about it (again, I don't give a crap), but get at me when you've spent years away from your homeland and are unable to acquire whatever nasty-ass comfort food is available wherever you're from. For me, my nasty-ass comfort food of choice is Taco Bell...with Sonic a close second. However, you can't even find Sonic all over the U.S. and I don't find myself craving burgers and hot dogs all the time (plus, those urges are a lot easier to satisfy than a craving for Mexican or Tex-mex).

...and now a few words about German Rap #1

Hi, I know many of you don't know or care about German-language rap, but I do. And sometimes I want to write about it. Without proper context or introductions or explanations, it might be a little tough to follow it all. However, I'll try to throw in some wikipedia links. If you do listen to/are interested in German-language rap, then here's a chance to read some of my opinions. - Raven (Keeping in mind that I have no kind of statistics to back this up) But I think that Fettes Brot (the German hip-hop trio) is probably the most overall dissed group in the German rap scene. Notice I used the qualifier "group" because the most dissed individual would probably be Eko Fresh (sorry, Frosty ?)-- because, really, that dude has stepped on A LOT of toes in (comparatively) short amount of time. You could maybe make the same case with Die Fantastischen Vier , but it's hard to diss bajillionaires. I mean, ok, it's actually really easy to diss bajillionaires, just ha...

Horden

I went into the kitchen after work the other day to grab myself a bite to eat. Looking over at the window, I saw three or four black dots crawling over the window. Moving in for a closer look, I then saw that the dots were actually ladybugs ( Marienkäfer ). And my heart was like, "Awwww...ladybugs...cute" or whatever. It wasn't long before I noticed that it wasn't merely three or four ladybugs, but a swarm of them congregating in the upper right corner of the window frame. Easily multiple dozens of them. I had forgotten that this happened once the weather dropped. The same thing occurred last fall/winter and it freaked me out. There were just so many of them. In my mind, I immediately thought of my niece Gabi. She's 10 years old now and I really don't know what she likes anymore, but back in the day, whenever she saw a ladybug, she would kind of flip out. Her reaction wasn't fear, but rather like she was almost emotionally overtaken by the sheer beauty of ...
