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).

The One Who Got Away (Part 6): PLOT TWIST

Quick Translation: This confirms that German citizenship will not be opposed, if within two years it can be verified that the aforementioned person no longer possesses citizenship for Trinidad and Tobago e   and/or has fulfilled the requirements for the loss of this citizenship and that nothing has happened in the meantime, which would forbid naturalization.  I almost forgot what it felt like to receive a industrial size dose of 100% homegrown German bureaucratic pedantry. Luckily, the German authorities will never leave you too long without a fix. You can count on that. As you can see from the picture above (and from my previous posts), Trinidad and Tobago e  had only been mentioned once in passing up until now, when I finalized my application and paid the fee. Mr. S: Your mother was naturalized in the U.S. after you were born? Me: Yes, but she never applied for Trinidadian citizenship for me, which would have had to have been done by my 18th birthday.  Mr. S: Ok. (Ac

The One Who Got Away (Part 5)

Pro tip: Don't estimate the amount of time it will take to review your citizenship application based on the amount of time it took to get the results of your citizenship test. So far, this has been the area of the German-side of the process that ran a little closer to my bureaucratic expectations, namely, if an official expresses a length of time -- e.g. 3-6 months -- things will start moving closer to the six month mark than the three month mark. Getting down to the wire, I was (and still am) slightly concerned that this would drag on and I would have to renew my U.S. passport first, since it's getting kinda close to the point where it's only valid for six months. This would have cost me 1.) more money 2.) plus a trip to a consulate that actually does shit for U.S. citizens 3.) money and time off work for a trip to Bremen, Berlin, or Frankfurt. As luck would have it, I finally received notification that the Germans are letting me in! The full term is that they are
