An insane freestyle recently left on Ballzack‘s voicemail by Lil’ Daddy of the Straight Shot Boys. He gets cooking around 00:35. B-R-R-R-ACK !!

It’s Not The Heat, It’s The Humanity. The story goes that the band was coming up with this song in their practice space when the Italian guy from next door comes rushing in and says, ” This tune you are playing, it is the devil’s riff !! ” Done and done.

King Louie " " Chinese Crawfish " cover

Chinese Crawfish. I get a lot of love for this record, and the truth is I didn’t have to do very much. We put Louie’s ” drum kit ” ( the snare is an Ace Hardware bucket, the kick has a big cowbell bolted on it ) in my kitchen, and his ” P.A. ” ( an old Muzak-brand tube amp going through a plastic Radio Shack bullhorn ) in a closet, and the songs just started pouring out of him. Everything you hear here is live, 1 take ( okay, ” I’m 13 ” has a Casio SK-1 overdub ), and the entire album took a couple of 2-hour sessions to record – Louie had an ” interesting ” life at the time, I couldn’t pin him down for longer than that . This one’s on vinyl and CD from Goner Records.

Ballzack " " Yeah Indeed " cover

Yeah Indeed. I guess 20 years ago Ballzack would’ve been a ” rapper ” and I would’ve been a ” producer ” and we would’ve ” made beats ” … but these being modern times and he being the odd talent that he is, we did this. I borowed half-busted old synths, learned how to do MIDI, and sampled warped records I found in Hurricane Katrina mud.

The Action Is Go. A perennial favorite, and I continue to hear these songs in unexpected places, which is nice.

Gimme More. a homemade Digi-001 affair, strictly ” bounce-to-disc “.  Basic tracks recorded at Grant Curry’s house, everything else done in my living room.
