Death Grips, Flesh Tips

The second portion of the title is an allusion to a penis.
Penis.

With the rampant over-saturation of music these days, the market seems to be very cluttered. In the face of this, it's refreshing to see such a small, DIY group of hardcore artists reach such a level of success. I don't know when Death Grips became a "thing" to the populace, but they're still relatively new to me, and I've been enjoying the excitement of their music. They've tapped into some sonic elements that make one feel amped (so to speak), doing so with such spontaneous ease is a rare treat.
I've watched a couple interviews wherein they praise their interest in the visual arts, and their work so far has reflected such inclination. They also speak of being very introverted, which shows, and I appreciate that equally as much.
In a world of perceived meaning, deliberate metaphor and expected depth, it's amazing to be able to take a break and listen to such an accelerated form of minimalist music.

Those familiar with me know that I enjoy the bizarre, depraved and twisted, and I've been collecting works lately that reflect these irrational obsessions. This is mostly in the form of books by Hunter S. Thompson and Chuck Palahniuk (as mentioned previously, I'm sure, because I'm like a broken record of self-indulgence). There are few things I like more, one of them being unimaginable (and perhaps imaginable) horrors in the same written/directed form. Talking about movies, folks, try to keep up. Though, I guess I make it difficult on purpose. Sort of a "weeding out the weak" scenario. You have to EARN your key into my consciousness. Earn it with blowjobs.
Mental fellatio.

"Flesh tips" is the best thing I've heard all day for real.

My love for cartoons like Home Movies and Aqua Teen has invaded the reality in which I live, and I've come up with a little game in order to cultivate this. You can try it at home, it works especially when you're privy to a conversation that's either boring, awful, or has nothing to do with you.
Say you have a favourite television show or movie, or if you have several, choose one that you know the dialogue from best. As well, you'll want to have a good grasp of the personalities that most of the characters adopt, and the atmosphere that the show created (more on this later).
Now that you've done this, while in the midst of the conversation or scenario in question, try to imagine those involved as if they were characters on/in whatever you've chosen. Not as pre-established roles, but their own, only implanted within this setting (for instance, if you really like Squidbillies, think of those conversing as trailer-trash cartoon squids in whatever awful town Squidbillies is set in). Things will automatically be funnier, especially if they have the capacity to be taken out of context. My friends specifically say a lot of nonsensical things, and if I imagine them to be within the universe of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, it tends to fir perfectly and becomes much better, no matter what the subject.
It's a great exercise for your imagination, and an excellent way to entertain yourself in the absence of any sufficient stimuli.
I find that everything is hilarious if someone like Master Shake is saying it. Though, that may be because he's a fucking milkshake with a pink straw and gloves.
That's a gamble I'm willing to take!

Out.
