Nosaj Thing - Producer

For the record, before I begin, producers are my best friends. I'm going to start shining some light on them as well as other artists you should be aware of.

Nosaj Thing is an L.A.-based, Electronica/Experimental/Hip Hop producer on L.A.-based Alpha Pup Records. He is scheduled to drop an LP titled, "Drift," on June 9.

Here he remixes Flying Lotus' (Another producer you should already know about and whose stuff I will post later), "Camel." I've been losing myself in this record for a few days now, and it sort of feels weird doing it by myself; so, please join me. It has a futuristic, tribal vibe. Material like this reminds me that it's not all bad in the world of Urban music and why I love it so.



I also recommend listening to, "Coat of Arms." Now let's get some Auto-Tune on that thing. I kid. I kid.

Domino's Pizza is the ILLest

How to lose your job during a depression (we were in a recession a long time ago) in 3 easy steps (now with more live cultures!):

1. Stick cheese in nose.
2. Fart on salami.
3. Upload to Youtube.

So, the guy farts on the salami and sticks some cheese up his nose. ... I don't see what the big deal is.



I wasn't able to embed the bonus, DVD footage of our protagonist shoving peppers in his nose (in his defense, it was only one nostril), sticking his fingers (again, just one finger) in the "sneeze bread" or gently scrubbing his bare behind (multiple stokes, all UP in the crevice, inexcusable) with a sponge before doing the dishes, and for that I deeply apologize.

Jared from Subway would so not approve. Here's the girl's response to Vice President, Communications at Domino's, Tim McIntyre (via Consumerist).

"I am sorry about all of this! It was all a prank and me nor Michael expected to have this much attention from the videos that were uploaded! No food was ever sent out to any customer. We would never put something like that on you tube if it were real!! It was fake and I wish that everyone knew that!!!! Michael never would do that to any customer, EVER!! I AM SOO SORRY! You see all the time of the pranks that people upload and the pranks need to seem real in order to get a laugh out of people but this prank was very very immature and I am sorry for the embarrasment that I have caused your company!"

They got fired so quickly, the cheese on the sandwich hadn't even melted yet.

And another one. ...


If you don't know about TheOnion, then I'm not going to tell you.
Anybody want to go half on a pie? Better yet, we can save even more just buying a piece of the company.

What's that, Lassie; falling stock prices? That'd be keen.

So, what's for lunch? ... You're fasting? What do you mean?
