flavor country.

alright, i meant to post this sooner…but didn’t. again, eternal thanks to the Operator for helping Canned Fruit not redirect people to other random ad sites. here we go:

coming up from florida we passed through the land of cheap smokes…the Carolinas…

tired of hearing this and this on the radio we stumbled on this gem of a song from Ludacris:

How Low Can You Go

my question is: Rokhausen, when did you start producing for the Luder? Read the rest of this entry »

oh shit!

is anyone else visiting Canned Fruit and getting relocated to other sites?

snap! i gotta get help on this.

will post later, i have a lot i wanted to say before i noticed this…

mr. president? mr. kool-aid?

so i thought i would throw up a post here while we’re on the road but i don’t have any more live stuff to put up yet. i noticed the recorder i’ve been using has some digital clicks so…i don’t know what i’m going to do about that, but i figured i would talk about things that have happened on the road…

first off, did you know mr. kool-aid is from nebraska? oh yeah! it’s true! so if you had any doubts about whether nebraska was cooler than kansas…now you know.. nebraska also has more trees.

i learned today that in northeastern colorado there’s farms where they grow tires. no shit.

also, i hear Las Vegas is all up in arms because the president used it as an example of foolish spending yesterday during a speech in New Hampshire. who gives a fuck? it isn’t going to hurt Vegas tourism. why isn’t anyone concerned about this little soundbite from the same speech: that’s how i roll. come on, should our president really be saying things like “that’s how i roll”? (thanks, npr for the soundbite!

i kind of don’t really want to write more now, but i will mention that the show at basement 414 was the most fun we’ve had along the way. everyone was great, but highlights were Dental Work, Xrin Arms, and marlo.

anyway, i guess that’s about all i have for you now. i need to work on some of the recordings i’ve made…soon i’ll have stuff up from Childe Bride, Decapitated Hed, Xrin Arms, Dental Work, and some more of marlo’s stuff of course.

until then, enjoy these awesome Kool-Aid commercials (i like the first one):

kool-aid commercial

Kool-Aid commercial

oh, and this has nothing to do with anything. i got this sample from MST3K a while ago, and have been meaning to put it up in case someone wanted it…i think it was Crow T. Robot: i’m mixing my album, leave me alone

it was a fun show. i didn’t put it together til about an hour before we had to start broadcasting but i think it was a good set, a little lowkey maybe. i guess maybe i should’ve done a “top things canned fruit played way too often in 2010″ or “stuff i got super into this year” show but i didn’t think of it til i had the set together. oh well. i think that stuff is represented here anyway…8bit…cdr…scotch egg…suntra…etc.

stay tuned, who knows what we’ll get into next year…maybe i’ll get back to doing setlists with links and mp3s…
