HANGOVER FRIDAY END 2 END BURNER PLAYLIST: "...All Out of Bubblegum"

Time for another FRIDAY SUPER ANTI-HANGOVER END2END BURNERS PLAYLIST: "We came to blaze faces and chew bubble gum. And we're all out of bubble gum..."

All day I'm playing albums to hype the show tonight when HOSEY will once again shift the airwaves at Otto's Shrunken Head (10pm, y'all).

DOSH

Self-Titled

Starting off with some of my favorite morning music.

DISASTERPEACE

Fez

Keeping the morning vibe going with one of my favorite soundtracks for one of my favorite video games

S U R V I V E

RR7349

Keeping the nerd vibe going with the guys who did the Stranger Things soundtrack. Synth bliss.

ZOMBI

Cosmos

In the same synth-heavy vein, except now we'll add killer bass lines

MADLIB

Shades of Blue

Changing directions now. This is one of my favorite afternoon albums.

MF DOOM

Operation Doomsday

Another classic.

BLACK MOTH SUPER RAINBOW

Cobra Juicy

Always get weirder.

HANGOVER FRIDAY END 2 END BURNER PLAYLIST: "The Apocalypse Will Not Be Televised"

Hey, kids! You know what time it is, don't you? That's right!

There is one rule: only albums that are good front to back. Most of these can be found on the various streaming services.

BLOCKHEAD
Downtown Science

Kicking things off with a personal favorite in the instrumental hip hop category. This is by one of Aesop Rock's main producers.

THIN LIZZY

Live and Dangerous

A master class in live performance. Hat tip to my friend Casey for suggesting this one.

THUNDERCAT

Apocalypse

Super spaced out jazz fusion from one of Flying Lotus's collaborators. Hat tip to friends Dirty and Spence for turning me on to this guy.

MURS

The End of the Beginning

This one takes me right back to my last year living in Hattiesburg. This soundtracked many hours of delivering sandwiches and pizza.

SAVALAS BROTHERS

Tough Guy

Thinking about Hattiesburg days inevitably brought me back to this local classic. I am not exaggerating when I say the albums from this crew had a profound effect on me as a young musician. Literally! I bought their old effects pedals, the computer they produced this on, and equipment to record the earliest Hosey tracks!

I think this is easily one of the two best albums to ever come out of Hattiesburg. And the other one is by the same crew (saving the other for next month's list).

Not on Spotify, but you can stream it at Bandcamp.

TOBACCO

Ultima II Massage

It's 5pm on Friday so the office is quiet and that means I can get a little weird with this last one. This is just straight up acid trip music. Highly recommend.

Hat tip to friend Deb for turning me on to this album.

HANGOVER FRIDAY END2END BURNERS SUPER PREGAME PLAYLIST: "It's Over 9,000!!!"

(Note: Back in December I came into work on a Friday and instead of listening to the news as usual I decided to play music all day and share the list over on the Hosey Facebook page. This particular playlist is from the day of our show at Otto's Shrunken Head on January 13th, 2017.)

Here we go!

These are the rules: Only albums that are good front-to-back. And I'm playing these at work in an office, so they're also albums that won't get you fired (I hope). No Don Cabellero or Melt Banana, no matter how badly I might want to listen to them.

BOARDS OF CANADA
Music Has the Right to Children

Kicking it off very chill today. A classic instrumental. And it has "ROYGBIV" so... [swoon]

R.E.M.

Murmur

Keeping the "chilled out morning" vibe going with one of my favorite albums from one of my absolute favorite singer/songwriters.

THE REPLACEMENTS

Tim

You might hear us cover one of these songs tonight.

PIXIES

Come On Pilgrim

You will definitely hear us cover a song from this one tonight.

DJ SHADOW

Mountain Will Fall

DJ Shadow's new album is a kind of return to form, and it is very good.

AESOP ROCK

The Impossible Kid

I'm going to see this guy next week.

FUGAZI

The Argument

I think Fugazi's last album was their best. Flawless. And I can't imagine anyone else writing a song about housing development and gentrification even half as good as "Cashout."
