Please, get some room temperature water in you and your singing voices on and join us in singing this classic birthday song to one of the CXNX founding cat dads!
At Construxnunchux, we are constantly driven to go further, more bizarre, more extreme, more abstract, and any other adjective you have for weird. I think we do a good job contributing to the strange internet collective with our Lobster Lobbyseries, the short-lived The Internet is Hard, and our signature touch on really any project.
There is a place on the internet dubbed "the weird part of [ ]" which is usually resigned for the truly strange, the disturbing, and the unexplained. I am going to brave these toxic waters of the horrid parts of the world wide web (and maybe even deeper) to call to attention to some of the most insane things I have seen with my own two head balls. Let me promise you that this WILL NOT be traditional strange but it will be something transcendent of your imagination.
The Legend: Shaye Saint John was an ex-super model who was hit by a train and/or car (both stories were told) and the injuries to her body caused facial disfiguration, arm and leg amputation. She replaced her lost limbs with mannequin parts to shuffle through her adventures. Shaye lives alone in her trailer, surfing the internet (24/7!), applying Skin Tape (for her condit-shon), and celebrating holidays for the pieces of trash in her neighborhood.
What is really is: She is the creation of the late-comedian Eric Fournier. who was simply a creative genius. Purposefully anonymous, Eric only "filmed" Shaye keeping the aura of mystery surrounding his character.
Why I love it: I admit my sense of humor has always been non-traditional. I love Shaye Saint John. I love the concept, I love the execution, I love the lo-fi, I love the insanity behind it, and I love that there is nothing else that I've seen like it. The Shaye videos are funny and unsettling at the same time. Upon first look it seems like unbridled madness but once you dig into any of the video's you can see how much hardwork, innovation, and creativity goes into creating his phenomenon.
Shaye Saint John was the cliche "before his/her time". This was before the YouTube movement, before viral videos, before creepy pasta, this was a true and pure expression of someone's genius.
There is something strange about summer that makes me want to listen to metal. This Italian group is has really hit a vein with me. As a rule, I don't really like Black or Symphonic Metal at all. There is something contrived about it all. This group blends death, black, symphonic, and tech metal so well I can't help but love this caustic mixture of genres.
This song comes in hard with a harpsichord, then punches you with vocal brutality I haven't heard since Dethklok. Then the song never quits barraging you with multi-layered sonic assaults, guitar solos, choirs, double pedaling ... its great.
As always - from me to you - you can have this song for free HERE. No bullshit. A gift from my electronic fingers to your digital brain. Please enjoy.
Is there a more summer song than 'The Mollusk'? Picture yourself driving alongside the beach, with your windows down and this song cranked on the stereo? Some pretty sweet flute noises to go along with one of the most epic tales of all time!
What a treat this ended up being. DJ Shadow has been quite for 5 years and without any hype drops this album. Not only is this album the DJ Shadow you've come to all know and love, he's enlisted the verbal assassins Run The Jewels for this track. This song gives off a 70's funk vibe highlighted by Killer Mike's razor sharp tongue.
As always you can DOWNLOAD HERE for free. No bullshit.
