| FREE DOWNLOAD - American Pride - 2008 "American Pride" reveals a diverse range of stolen music samples spanning hard rock, soul, and soft rock. The cunning lyrics revolve around the subjects of murdering enemies, loving life, the vacuousness of blogging, alcoholism, and enemy murder. "American Pride" is a poignant portrait of a country swinging with sultans while in dire straights. { Parental Advisory - Explicit Lyrics } 1. American Pride 2. Self Taught Taxidermy 3. Ride My Sunshine 4. I Don’t Read Your Blog 5. Two Glass Eyes 6. Death of the Party 7. Life Guidance II 8. Delicious Ambition 9. Dying in a Nightmare 10. Human Leather 11. Old Man Rumple Minze REVIEW: "... I have to give J. Rhodes and Scotty Boombox credit: Nobody delivers comical, controversy-baiting, sample-delic party jams with more conviction. At least their music demands some sort of reaction, which is more than most bands can muster these days. Their latest, American Pride, blends soul samples, unison rap-singing and mechanized beats into a strange but welcoming pastiche that channels everything from Beck to Paula Abdul to Gil Mantera's Party Dream" - Chris Deville, Columbus Alive, 10/22/08 |

FREE DOWNLOAD - Pepperoni
Lovers - 2007 Pepperoni Lovers is a self-produced journey featuring sample-based party music dipping into the realms of soul, disco, calypso, and progressive rock with lyrical content that explores the themes of profligacious excess, existential realism, and personal healing through high-living. Self help music for the self hater in all of us. { Parental Advisory - Explicit Lyrics } 1. Stay Away from Gangs and Drugs 2. Trick Rhetoric 3. Biker Woman Recipe 4. Quit Freaking Out 5. Let It Rip 6. S my D 7. Good Girls Don’t Do That 8. Big Daddy Kane 9. Don’t Die Tonight 10. Extreme Ball Pressure 11. Pepperoni Lovers 12. Is This Your Wife? 13. Summer Snow 14. A Diamond is for Never REVIEW: "Everything that Columbus' Ocean Ghosts have released has been one big ol' party-time, hip-hop cruise through groovy, hilarious waters. But the group's new CD, Pepperoni Lovers, casts a large shadow over all of their previous work. Biker Woman Recipe, Is This Your Wife, Good Girls Don't Do That and Big Daddy Kane (named no doubt for one of Ocean Ghosts' prime influences) -- this is a grade-A pizza pie." - The Columbus Dispatch 3/29/07 |

DOWNLOAD - Stars & Stripes Forever - 2006 Stars and Stripes Forever incorporates soul, disco, hip-hop, and funk soundscapes with purposeful turntablism and interrogating lyrics about socio-political rhetoric and partying hardcore to the maximum limit ever. { Parental Advisory - Explicit Lyrics } 1. White People Blacked Out 2. Out of the Night 3. King Cobra and Box Wine 4. Where's My Brother? 5. Atomic Bukkake 6. Bill Goodman's Gun + Knife Show 7. Life Guidance 8. Beating Bush 9. American Patrol 10. Hitchcock 11. Party Trauma 12. Death Medication 13. Yellow Cocaine 14. Recommended Dosage 15. Magic Jackson 16. Stars and Stripes Forever REVIEW: "...a sometimes crude, sometimes lewd tribute to this nation and a citizen's right to make a complete mockery of it... Lyrics discuss nuclear war, God and President Bush alongside sex and getting piss drunk. The result is a passive-aggressive critique that uses hedonism as a subversive force... a fascinating, blurry-eyed stare straight back at a country that can seem confusing and unfamiliar... The record works as a critique of American weirdness because the songs are largely a celebration of it..."- read the full article here by the Alive's John Ross 6/29/06 |
