			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><img src="http://ugsmag.com/wp-content/uploads/bdolan01.jpg" alt="B. Dolan Interview" title="B. Dolan Interview" width="640" height="640" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8663" /></div>

[MP3: View post to listen]</p>
<div class="intro">I caught up with Strange Famous signee, B. Dolan to talk about his new album <em>Fallen House, Sunken City</em>. The sometimes dark and intense songs on this album have more thought put into them than some whole albums. <em>Fallen House, Sunken City</em> is one of those dope albums that make’s you want to question everything around you. </div>
<p><strong>How intense was it moving to New York and having to struggle so much in the early days?</strong></p>
<p>It was very dramatic&#8230; haha. I originally moved to NY on the pretense of going to school out there, but in retrospect that was never really the plan. I&#8217;d given up on school somewhere around 7th grade. So when I started performing at the Nuyorican and was met with some immediate success, that was all the validation I needed. I let my family know that I was quitting school, which touched off a crazy shit storm. There was a long period where most of them refused to speak to me, or would call and threaten me and shit.</p>
<p>So the decision to pursue my career as a performer basically deaded all family relationships at that point, and I&#8217;d made the decision to drop out of school and had no place to live. I was basically living on friend&#8217;s couches that winter, crashing with girls and sleeping in subway stations and sometimes on trains. So, it was a long winter until I finally scored a job as a doorman on Park Avenue.</p>
<p>That job allowed me to buy my first drum machine and laptop, which I kept at a friends house, and then after I had those things I found an apartment. I was young and I felt invincible and like my feet were finally on the path though. It was hard but it didn&#8217;t phase me too much.</p>
<p><strong>Is it easier today than it was in those early stages of your career?</strong></p>
<p>Not really. It&#8217;s just hard in different ways. Some things have gotten easier. Parts of the process I&#8217;ve gained a very good mastery of in the past decade. But other hard things have come along to fill in the gaps. Hard work rewarded with harder work. It&#8217;s always taken a sick amount of effort and an unhealthy amount of ambition and focus&#8230; and maybe when it stops being hard you should quit. It&#8217;s easier to heat my apartment now. Harder finding time to stay there and enjoy it.</p>
<p><strong>Do you find it kind of ironic that you dropped out of school when so much of what you do is informing and educating people?</strong></p>
<p>Yeah. It certainly seems ironic when I&#8217;m asked to perform or lecture at Universities, and in general the educating role that I end up taking on a lot of the time. I&#8217;ve always loved the process of education though&#8230; the actual relationship between a good teacher and a good student, and the process of people learning from each other. I&#8217;m into that. In some ways I function like a career student, and I credit that with getting me to where I am today. I&#8217;ve really never stopped learning, or being hungry to learn, or been satisfied with a certain base of knowledge or &#8216;expertise&#8217;. I&#8217;m constantly seeking out new shit that I don&#8217;t know about, and trying to absorb and understand it&#8230; so, I appreciate learning. However, I became really disenchanted with educational institutions from a young age. I was always a kid that was aware of death, due to some things that happened when I was young. I always knew about the concept of death and that I would die&#8230; which obviously made me a very weird kid. Haha. But I can remember being in 3rd or 4th grade and thinking &#8220;why am I doing good in this school? So I can get into a better school. Why do good there? So I can get into a good college. Why? Get a good job? Why? Work until I die.&#8221; something about the whole industrialized learning process that they put you through in school&#8230; I saw through that shit at a young age and stopped trusting it. Then later I learned that it&#8217;s true that the department of labor is actually responsible for setting the standards for the department of education. So the purpose of school isn&#8217;t to help you actualize yourself as a human being, in this country. Their purpose is just to produce the desired traits in the next generation of workers. And I guess I instinctually resisted that shit. So, that&#8217;s where that kind of seeming contradiction comes from probably. Love learning, hate schools.</p>
<p><strong>You faced a lot of doubters and, as you mentioned, hurt your relationship with your family because of your pursuit of a career in music. How did it feel to quiet your doubters?</strong></p>
<p>Well, the shit with my family is complex. My grandmother and grandfather both immigrated to America with next to nothing, went to work in sweatshops and factories, and established a better life for their kids. My father still works in the same warehouse he worked in my whole life, and my mother was a secretary at a law firm. So, basically I come from a working class family with immigrant values; and my job in the order of things was to do good in school and become a doctor or a lawyer or something. And continue the climb up the social ladder. haha. Until my children&#8217;s children presumably become the first Guinea president. So, when I announced that I was gonna drop out of school, pursue my dream of being a rapper, and probably continue to shovel shit alongside my father in the same warehouse while trying to do so&#8230; I was throwing a big wrench in the works. So, 10 years later they recognize my tenacity even if they don&#8217;t understand what the hell I do. And they see me traveling and making money and shit&#8230; So there&#8217;s a kind of grudging respect. And on my end I had to make a decision years later to just accept them for who they are and be at peace. When you consider neglect and abuse that goes on, family can do worse shit than doubt you. I can get over people doubting me.</p>

<p><strong>The production Alias does on this album really does a good job of setting the mood. How was it working with him throughout this process.</strong></p>
<p>Alias is the shit man. I don&#8217;t know if there&#8217;s a more talented, unsung producer doing it right now. He also happens to be one of the nicest dudes I&#8217;ve ever met, and I consider him a real friend. We developed a kind of trusting friendship relationship early on, and fairly quickly, after doing some shows on Sage&#8217;s &#8216;Death Dance&#8217; tour together&#8230; Which allowed us to be really up front with each other through the whole process&#8230; There was no awkward or uncertain period really. We were both confident that we were fans of the same kind of shit in hip-hop, and that we both understood what kind of album we wanted to make. So from there it was just a process of passing the demos back and forth and working out the songs.</p>
<p><strong>By the way. That shit with the band on &#8220;Border Crossing&#8221; is so fucking ill!</strong></p>
<p>Yeah, &#8220;Border Crossing&#8221; was a special kind of track man. Pulling all of that together was a really incredible and rewarding job. All together that song took about 6 months to complete, from the time I started conceptualizing it and made the demo, to tracking down the What Cheer? Brigade, to working with them on an arrangement and having Alias come down to Providence and record them, make the track, finalize the vocals and writing, etc. There was really a period of despair with that song. Where I felt like &#8216;Fuck man. There is no WAY this song can survive being worked on for this long. This has to suck.&#8217; but miraculously, it doesn&#8217;t suck. That song is a total anomaly in the course of my career. Haha&#8230; usually if you think you stink&#8230;</p>
<div><img src="http://ugsmag.com/wp-content/uploads/thebushwackers.jpg" alt="The Bushwackers" title="The Bushwackers" width="310" class="alignright size-full wp-image-8684" /></div>
<p><strong>You and Sage Francis have great creative chemistry. Any chance we’ll be seeing a B. Dolan, Sage Francis collaboration album?</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s certainly been discussed, though mostly in jest. There&#8217;s no strong concept of how to approach a project like that. I would say the chances are fairly high that it&#8217;ll happen at some point though. We did a run of shows with El-p earlier this year and he kept referring to us as &#8220;The Bushwackaz,&#8221; after that old WWF group. The two bald brothers who used to lick each other&#8217;s heads. So maybe that&#8217;ll be the group name. Plus it has the political double meaning. We can call the lp &#8216;Fuck Bush.&#8217; We&#8217;ll be right on time with that.</p>
<p><strong>Your piece, “<a href="http://www.urb.com/2010/02/23/b-dolan-5-ways-to-bleed-your-customer/">5 Ways to Bleed Your Customer</a>” for urb.com is on some real shit and you’ve got a song called, &#8220;50 Ways to Bleed Your Customer&#8221; on the album that touches on the same issues.  You mentioned how important it is that you educate yourself. How important is informing your listeners of the atrocities we commit against each other and our environment?</strong></p>
<p>Well, for me I feel it&#8217;s important to actually do something in terms of social justice work, instead of just rapping about it. Which is why I created the <a href="http://Knowmore.org">Knowmore.org</a> website along with Sage in 2005. We try to offer that resource to people who hear the political content in our music and are fired up and want to make some positive change in their lives and the lives of others. I never know, really, what impact my music is having on people in that sense. My only frame of reference is personal experience, and I know that I started thinking about politics at a young age, probably due mostly to Chuck D, KRS, and later bands like Rage Against the Machine&#8230; I remember they had an album insert that was just a picture of a pile of books and I started hunting down those books&#8230; But, that just sparked a kind of awareness. </p>
<p>Only after living in NY on September 11th did I actually get active and start doing real work on issues, because the immediacy of these ideas came home to me, and I saw my city become a warzone overnight. So&#8230; you know&#8230; I don&#8217;t know what it takes to turn a comfortable, middle class college student into a soldier for change. Or if rap songs will ever or could have ever had the power to organize working class and poor people single-handedly. If Chuck D, and Bob Dylan, and John Lennon&#8217;s music didn&#8217;t spark a revolution, I&#8217;d have to be feeling myself pretty hard to think that mine had some quality theirs didn&#8217;t. So, when it comes to political art I just try to make things that are honest, and that I have genuine feelings about&#8230; I try to communicate it all in ways that are radical and challenging, without sounding preachy or like I know better than anyone else. It is what it is. Then I go try to balance that with some action in the real world, and some hours of work. </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve lead whole workshops on this topic man. Haha. Your questions are too good. This is a tricky subject. Political art and its usefulness&#8230; It&#8217;s like, I think music can in some cases be an incredibly powerful revolutionary force&#8230; but you can never rely on that happening. Like in South Africa, songs were really important to the whole anti-apartheid movement. They were critical tools. When the men were marching towards you with guns, what kept the line from breaking is that everyone locked arms and sang the same songs. Those songs were real-world weapons. But in other cases, a song is just a song. A Che Guevera t-shirt can be a totally empty symbol, and the kid wearing it thinks the guy on his shirt is named Bob Marley.</p>
<p><strong>If the artist reinforces their songs with actions as you do it makes it more real though. </strong></p>
<p>I hope so, anyway. I hope that message makes it through to people for that reason. It&#8217;s important that the listener and artist not get caught in this pat-me-on-the-back cycle of bullshit. Where we just become spectacles of revolution. I think that happens a lot in the &#8216;underground.&#8217;</p>
<p><strong>There is a theory held by some that the world is controlled by an alien race of shape-shifting lizard-people. While doing research for the song, “Reptilian Agenda” you were warned by one of your sources to, “Think carefully before you start talking publicly about this stuff”. Is “Reptilian Agenda” a challenge to the lizard people to come and get you?</strong></p>
<p>In a word? Yes. Haha.</p>
<p><strong>What’s the energy like at the average B. Dolan show?</strong></p>
<p>Controlled chaos. Unexpected costume changes happen. I say foul things and kick funky rap routines. Do dances. Talk shit. I&#8217;ve gotten into the habit of leaving pauses for people to heckle, and inviting and engaging hecklers a lot. Which thereby makes the crowd more likely to heckle. Kind of on some old Richard Pryor shit. People want to say dumb shit to me so I can pwn them. It&#8217;s familial and ball-busting and rowdy like that. Also, a marching band occasionally appears. I plan to push the crazy vaudeville circus angle more in the future too. If the gods keep granting me superpowers, I will continue to use them for evil.</p>
<p><strong>Anything you want our readers to know? Tour dates? Shout outs?</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://Fallenhouse.com">Fallenhouse.com</a> is the place to order the album. There&#8217;s a lot of cool deals SFR is offering, with lots of extras and posters and signed things and what not. Time is running out for people to grab those. Also, it&#8217;ll be available as a double vinyl lp starting in May, and people can pre-order those now. Assuming people still know what a vinyl record is. I start touring in 6 days. Europe, UK, Ireland, US, and Canada. Almost 70 shows in the next 4 months. Those details are at <a href="http://Fallenhouse.com"><strong>Fallenhouse.com</strong></a>. And <a href="http://Knowmore.org"><strong>Knowmore.org</strong></a> is the place to put your shoulder to the wheel.</p>

<p>Sage Francis&#8217; new album <em>Li(f)e</em> drops May 11 on Anti-/Epitaph Records, followed by a U.S./Canadian tour. Cover art by Shepard Fairey.</p>
<div class="indent"> For the cover of <em>Li(f)e</em> Fairey has employed his distinctive agitprop style to create a suitably provocative image of an unwavering and winged Francis caught in the crosshairs as flames rise beneath him. “I really wanted to get a Shepard Fairey album cover sometime in my career,” Francis explains. “I eventually sent him a picture of me which was taken at my most destitute time when I didn’t have anything and I was crashing on my friend’s floor. I was making music but I had to obscure the way I looked because it didn’t fit in with the way people thought hip-hop was supposed to be. But eventually I just took this really ugly photo of myself in all my mutton chop biker mustache whiteness and made it my logo. And Shepard used that old photograph to make this amazing image for the album’s cover.”</div>

<p><strong>From <a href="http://www.antilabelblog.com/?p=2266">Anti-Records</a>:</strong></p>
<p>Iconoclastic Artist Sage Francis Teams With Unique Songwriters and Musicians on Impassioned Critique of Organized Religion</p>
<p>“You are going around trying to keep people out of hell, and I am going around trying to keep hell out of people.” &#8211; Robert G. Ingersoll (1833–1899)</p>
<p>Anti-Records is excited to announce the impending release of an impassioned new album Li(f)e by celebrated agent-provocateur of hip hop, Sage Francis. An underground star from his years as a battle champion, poet and founder of influential Strange Famous Records, Francis garnered even wider acclaim with his incendiary 2005 release “A Healthy Distrust,” a timely condemnation of corporate greed, war-mongering and American complacency. On his electrifying new album Li(f)e, Francis turns his keen observational skills to a culture of rampant hypocrisy and, in particular, organized religion.</p>
<p>This album is a marked evolution for Francis. His signature wordplay, a dazzling mix of sardonic humor and biting social commentary, is now complimented by a talented band consisting of producer Brian Deck (Modest Mouse, Iron and Wine) and cohorts Jim Becker and Tim Rutili of the acclaimed Chicago outfit Califone. It proves an effective soundtrack for Francis’ riveting lyrical discourse. The record’s title Li(f)e is a deliberate amalgamation of the words life and lie. As Francis says, “What about life is a lie? What we’re told about God is a lie. What we’re told about race, gender roles, beauty, war, food, drugs, sexuality, capitalism, history, the nature of humankind…a gang of lies. I feel it in my gut, I think it in my brain, I write it with my hands and I speak it with my mouth. That’s what makes Li(f)e the general theme of this album.”</p>
<p>To help convey his impassioned message Francis has enlisted a cadre of uniquely talented songwriters. The album begins with a stirring Steinbeck imbued tale of prison break entitled Little Houdini’ with music written by ex Grandaddy frontman turned solo artist Jason Lytle. “We specifically sought out songwriters who had never worked with a rapper,” Francis explains. “And I didn’t want them to write music they thought they should for hip-hop. The music for ‘Little Houdini’ was a long epic instrumental piece Jason had just hanging around which I then worked my story into.” Next up is a rousing and energetic anthem entitled “Three Sheets” with music written by Chris Walla of the band Death Cab for Cutie. Subsequent songs feature compositions by Tim Fite, members of Calexico, DeVotchKa, and Mark Linkous of Sparklehorse &#8211; each interpreted by Francis and the band resulting in an entirely organic and captivating vehicle for Francis’ dramatic narratives.</p>
<p>Li(f)e is a thought provoking and unabashedly original album from an evolving artist with a refreshingly distinctive voice.</p>

<p><strong>Download<em> Sick Of Wasting </em> <a href="http://download.epitaph.com/index.php?file=%5Cweb%5Csickofwasting.zip">right here</a></strong></p>
<p>The 5th installment of Sage&#8217;s &#8220;Sick Of&#8221; mixtape series, <em>Sick Of Wasting</em>, is now up for FREE download and features Buck 65, Buddy Peace, Sleep, B. Dolan, Reanimator and more. A limited edition CD version can also be purchased from <a href="http://www.strangefamousrecords.com">strangefamousrecords.com</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Via Sage Francis&#8217; Blog:</strong></p>
<p>I wasn&#8217;t sure if I would ever release another mix of this sort after the last one, but it&#8217;s been a couple years since my last official album and I&#8217;ve accumulated a large number of &#8220;left over&#8221; tracks that never found their way onto an official album. I also opened up the 4-track vault this year and was able to unearth some solid material that dates back to 1996.</p>
<p>My music career, as most people know it, essentially began with the &#8220;Sick of Waiting&#8221; mixtape in 1999. Now that I&#8217;ve typed that out I&#8217;ve realized that we&#8217;re essentially celebrating the &#8220;Sick of&#8221; mixtape series&#8217; 10th birthday. Hot damn. It seems like just yesterday I was dubbing all the original tapes, cutting and pasting the album covers, writing out the album info on the stickers, and selling them hand-to-hand at shows. Time (f)lies.</p>
<p>The first Sick installment was called &#8220;Sick of Waiting.&#8221; That title was inspired by my frustration in waiting around for something official to pop off. I felt like the iron was hot and I needed to strike whether the labels were willing to scoop me up or not. So I threw together a batch of recordings/demos/freestyles that I had hanging around and I began selling the mix at shows. This was the beginning of Strange Famous Records.</p>
<p>10 years later the label has grown and expanded in significant ways. It has become the home to many of my favorite hiphop artists in the indie scene as well as a constant reminder of how much work it takes to get underground musicians the exposure they deserve.</p>
<p>Like all of the &#8220;Sick of&#8221; mixes, &#8220;Sick of Wasting&#8221; is not just an attempt to showcase my own material. It is also a means to promote all the featured artists involved, most of whom have projects of their own that have been released recently or will be released by the end of the year. Be sure to check for their respective projects.</p>
<p>As this project is a free digital download, we certainly don&#8217;t expect this to be a big money maker. However, the sales for the CD at our online store have gone well so I&#8217;d like to thank everyone who has shown support. For anyone without money to spend on music, the material is there for you to download anyway. We hope you enjoy it.</p>
<p>4 eva &#038; always,</p>
<p>Sage Francis </p>
<p><strong>Track Listing + Description</strong></p>
<p><strong>1. Strange Fame (2009)</strong><br />
This is probably one of the fastest songs I&#8217;ve ever put together. Self-produced, recorded, mixed and mastered in my home studio over the course of 1 day. Due to the obvious sample issue, this is something I could never officially release but I&#8217;ve always wanted to jack this David Bowie song for a Strange Famous anthem.</p>
<p><strong>2. S.A.G.E. Bastard (prod. by Buck 65, 2009)</strong><br />
Buck 65 put together this interlude by chopping up an obscure Blowfly recording.</p>
<p><strong>3. I Trusted You (beat by Buck 65, 2009)</strong><br />
Buck 65 put together the beat. The intro and outro samples are from a televised Andy Kaufman performance. Kurtis SP sent me the &#8220;Sage&#8221; samples. I arranged all the vocal samples which took longer than it probably should have. The sentiment of this song is extended to more than a few people I&#8217;ve had the displeasure of sharing portions of my life with. That&#8217;s all I will say about that.</p>
<p><strong>4. Needle (beat and scratches by Buddy Peace, 2009)</strong><br />
These lyrics have been around for quite a while. I was waiting for an opportunity to use them on an official album but it just never happened. I eventually recorded this song to another beat but wasn&#8217;t too thrilled with the outcome. When I sent it over to Buddy Peace he capped it off with that incredible scratch-sentence outro. And then at some point I sent him the acapella at which point he remixed the whole song and breathed new life into it. The funky sample he uses reminds me a bit of the first KMD record, and the drums definitely kill. I&#8217;ve never performed this song live but I look forward to it.</p>
<p><strong>5. House of Bees (feat. B. Dolan, beat by Buck 65, 2009)</strong><br />
Recorded at B. Dolan&#8217;s studio dungeon, mixed and masted at my home studio. I don&#8217;t want to ruin any magic about this song, so I will keep this explanation short. Buck 65 put together a face smashing, boombap beat and we realized the song had to be about a house of bees. I told B. Dolan the concept of the song and he delivered some shit that made me want to go back and rewrite my verse. I never did end up rewriting my verse, but I think its all for the best. There&#8217;s a unique version of this track with Buddy Peace&#8217;s scratches at <a href="http://www.myspace.com/bernarddolan">myspace.com/bernarddolan</a></p>
<p><strong>6. Jaw of Steel (beat and scratches by Reanimator, 2009)</strong><br />
I fully intended on this song being on an official album, but the way my new material is shaping up it just wouldn&#8217;t fit. This beat was first going to be used on Prolyphic and Reanimator&#8217;s &#8220;The Ugly Truth&#8221; album. When it ended up not being used, I jumped at the opportunity to place some lyrics on it. There were a lot of vinyl snaps in the record that Reanimator sampled and I did my best to eliminate most of them, but in the process I think I may have affected the overall sound quality of the song. Whatever the case, I like the pace and build of this song.</p>
<p><strong>7. If I Go To Hell (demo, 1997)</strong><br />
Originally released as a &#8220;Track of the Week&#8221; on <a href="http://SFRstore.com">SFRstore.com</a>, this song was retrieved from the vault of my 4-track tapes. The sound quality is iffy, the music is jacked from DJ Shadow, but I enjoy the lyrics for the most part. I think this was the beginning of anti-religious sentiment in my songs.</p>
<p><strong>8. Conspiracy to Riot (beat &#038; scratches by Reanimator, 2008)</strong><br />
Reanimator sent me this beat a while back and he labeled it &#8220;militant.&#8221; I kept it around not totally sure of what I should do with it until all the pieces eventually fell into place. Originally released on <a href="http://www.ConspiracyToRiot.com">ConspiracyToRiot.com</a> as a way to raise funds for Jared Paul&#8217;s defense lawyers, this song joins the ranks of my other highly political tracks. Performing this song in MN while having thousands of people put their middle finger up for the police in their state was a gas.</p>
<p><strong>9. Be a Star (beat by Buck 65, 2007)</strong><br />
This song was made during the course of making my Human the Death Dance album but it didn&#8217;t seem to fit very well. Also, the sample clearance would have been a headache. It&#8217;s mainly just an upbeat track that I did for fun. Perfect candidate for a &#8220;Sick of&#8221; release.</p>
<p><strong>10. Sea Legs (feat. B. Dolan &#038; Sleep. Scratches by Buddy Peace.</strong> Additional vocals by Jared Paul and Curtis Plum. Beat by Aupheus, 2009.)<br />
This monster posse-cut was originally released as a free download during the relaunch <a href="http://www.StrangeFamous.com">StrangeFamous.com</a> to celebrate our 2009 roster. Everyone featured on this song recorded their material in their own studio and sent their contributions to me via email. I had to paste it all together and surprisingly it worked. I am a splice master. I&#8217;d love to do a full album like this at some point with all the SFR artists. Not only does B. Dolan completely slay this track, but so does Sleep and this is the first song I&#8217;ve ever done with him. Check for his new album &#8220;Hesitation Wounds&#8221; which drops on June 30th, 2009. You can download his single right now at <a href="http://www.StrangeFamous.com">StrangeFamous.com</a></p>
<p><strong>11. Flashback 96 (home recording, 1996)</strong><br />
The lyrics of this song were originally written in 1993. Since then, I have recorded various versions of the song. The version most people would be familiar with is the &#8220;I Keep Calling&#8221; song, however this stripped down version was retrieved from old 4-track tapes and it&#8217;s got a lot of charm. I&#8217;m also amused by the idea of having flashbacks during a time where it sounds like I&#8217;m still a little kid.</p>
<p><strong>12. Masturbate Your Brain (AOI demo, 1997)</strong><br />
Another &#8220;lost tapes&#8221; discovery, this is a 4-track recording of me with my first band before we hired a live drummer. The rhymes are tightly packed and the accent is quite thick.</p>
<p><strong>13. SFR Pays Dues (feat. B. Dolan &#038; Prolyphic. Scratches by Reanimator. 2008)</strong><br />
Originally made as a promo track for the Paid Dues Festival, this song was recorded on the spot in the SFR studio. Instrumental for this track was taken from the Beatnuts.</p>
<p><strong>14. Pump (beat and scratches by Buddy Peace &#038; Reanimator, 2009)</strong><br />
Boombastic, Mr. Fantastic. This song went through many incarnations before a remix beat collaboration came together between Buddy Peace and Reanimator. That mix of talent is tough to deny. The beat knocks hard and the scratches are ridiculous. Big up yaselves.</p>
<p><strong>15. Revenge of the Ogre (interlude w/ Trinity)</strong><br />
Radio interview snippet between me and SFR forum&#8217;s very own Diane!</p>
<p><strong>16. Who Farted? part 1 (courtesy of XAUL ZAN, 2009)</strong><br />
This is only part 1 because I fully expect more songs to follow up where this one leaves off. While touring with Grand Buffet a few years ago we came up with a rhyme game to figure out who farted. It helped us stay sane during long drives. Xaul Zan decided to take the worst of the worst and make a song about it. He turned a beautiful song by The Knife into something dirty and juvenile. Figures.</p>
