New posts and contributors coming soon, y'all. Hold tight for my lazy ass to get everything done.
I've been MIA getting readjusted to living back in Brooklyn, but I think it's time to resurrect this zombie of a site. Weather is getting warmer, and there are more shows coming around NYC to liven my love of music back up.
I've gotten a lot of great submissions that I was planning to review and post by now, but with my moving back to Brooklyn from Florida next week... I just don't have the time. I've been spending time packing and reorganizing my belongings, along with working and spending as much time as possible with friends and family. But I wanted to get something up here to hold y'all over until everything is settled, so here's a couple of playlists in the meantime:

Black Sheep - The Choice Is Yours (Revisited)
Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth - They Reminisce Over You
De La Soul - Buddy
The Pharcyde - Passin' Me By
Chubb Rock - Treat 'Em Right
JJ Fad - Supersonic
Warren G - Regulate
Digable Planets - Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat)
Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock - It Takes Two
Will Smith - The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air
Latyrx - Lady Don't Tek No
Ol' Dirty Bastard - Shimmy Shimmy Ya

Engineers - Clean Coloured Wire
Ride - Cool Your Boots
South Ambulance - Kinky Love
Mojave 3 - Starlight, No. 1
Resplandor - Breathe
I know I once again flaked on posting, but I've had a cold for the past couple of weeks that just doesn't know when to leave. Kind of like the creepy, wasted guy at the afterparty who can't seem to catch a hint. I'm feeling quite well today, so I took advantage of the better health and spent pretty much this entire day catching up on email and snail mail submissions. And to make up for my delay, today's post is going to be a massive one.

Fuck. Really sorry guys. I meant to update, but I've been busy with the holidays. Family and friends are pretty time consuming. Well, now I'm up in NYC for a very short time, and just in case you're interested... I'm doing a guest set tonight at Happy Ending in the Lower East Side.

I'm in the world of Mickey Mouse with family this week, and I (yet again) head back up to NYC on Christmas Day... so I haven't had time to get a post together for this week. Check back next week if it strikes your fancy pants.
I try to post up a holiday mix each year, but since my mixer is broken and I've been a little ill... I asked funny guy Joey Kern to step in and grace us with his cherished holiday classics instead. You might recognize him as the "He's already pulled over" guy from Super Troopers, one of the victims of Cabin Fever, or as the shirtless "Shirts Jokum" in The Sasquatch Dumpling Gang. He's also in the upcoming indie comedy Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Undead (with Devon Aoki, Jeremy Sisto and even Karate Kid Ralph Macchio), amongst others.

Ah Christmas. It's that time of year that comes... well... this time every year. I mean, you can always rely on it, unless you're Jewish. Sorry Jews. But I think we can all gather around the mistletoe with these songs. Some take me back to my childhood, and others take me back to five minutes ago when I found them on iTunes. But they all make me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Some of these songs were also from a holiday mix I made a few years ago called "Merry F'n Xmas." My mom didn't like that title at all. Oh well.
Merry F'n Xmas to you all!
Bing Crosby - Happy Holiday (Beef Wellington Remix)
A little twist to the well known.
Bobby Helms - Jingle Bell Rock
Just a classic.
Ella Fitzgerald - Santa Claus Got Stuck In My Chimney
I never heard this as a lad because I'm not sure it's appropriate for kids. "Stuck in her chimney!?" I think we can all guess what she's really talking about. Do I have to spell it out? Ok! Her V-A-G-I-N-A.
The Kinks - Father Christmas
Who says you can't be badass around the holidayz? See? I'm trying it with putting a "z" at the end of Holiday. Feels good.
Bing Crosby - Mele Kalikimaka
I'd like to spend Christmas in Hawaii, just because now I know how to speak the language.
Robert Earl Keen - Merry Christmas From The Family
This humorous Christmas song so is so much better than "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer."
Elvis Presley - Blue Christmas
It's not Christmas without a really depressing song from Elvis. Thanks, King!
Gene Autry - Here Comes Santa Claus (Down Santa Claus Lane)
I like how he say "Santy" Claus.
Berlin Symphony Orchestra - Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy (Red Baron Remix)
I wonder if they've done a ballet to this version? I'd see that.
That's it. Go get drunk on the 'nog and tell your Aunt Wendy what you really think of her gift.

So I might have more flakes than Kellogg's, but here's another attempt on a comeback for WNR. I fell pretty hard off the musical wagon after coming to the horrific realization that some spam bots were screwing our site and inboxes in every orifice. I'm now in the process of cleaning up our neglected home and repairing the cracks in the walls to make it all spiffy and easy to maintain again (read as: I've got to wipe out the old inbox and establish a new address for submissions). So, if you've sent anything in via email in the past few months, I'm sorry. Your submissions have most likely been deleted at this time. I just honestly don't have the time to scan through a thousand penis and beastiality emails to find your MP3s. Besides, I don't even have a penis... and that's NOT how you ride a horse. But if you have sent a CD in, I will be going through them this week for reviews. The new submission email address will also be posted up shortly.
