Older readers [running gag - Ed.] will remember our beloved Saturday Slugfest™ FoamFeature©, wherein we faced off mismatched musical adversaries in a bloody bareknuckle cagefight! Oboy! Them wus swell times! As it's Saturday
[eh? - Ed.] we're reviving this popliar feature with perhaps the most viscerally explosive battle-o'-th'-beats yet!
Representing all that is perfect and wonderful and beautiful in life, we have Tupac Shakur with his 1995 album
Me Against The World.
And representing the ugly world he was up against, we have dear Geoffrey Burgon's soundtrack to the epic T.V. series about two alpha males forced into a sham homosexual relationship by the pressures of class conformity.
Who will emerge victorious? Will it be 2Pac Against The World, or *cough* Sebastian Against The World? Both albums are included in the deliverable to help you arrive at a just and reasoned decision!
No, really, there's a track on the Brideshead OST called "Sebastian Against The World" I only just noticed. One for the (Jerry) Iron(s)y fans!

I F'ing can't believe you're up. Oh wait, it's me, I shouldn't be. 109 in the day time, 117 this weekend and I'm in the friggin' mountains of norcal, bro. Global Swarming isn't real
DeleteYou're on fire! No wait! It's me!
DeleteHey FiveGuns, if you want to read possibly the greatest novel ever wrote, it's "King Of California" by Jordan Harper. Drugs, violence, more drugs and violence, then everything catches fire. I can loadup in mobi should youse be desirous.
"Drugs, violence, more drugs and violence - Oh My!!!" ― Dorothy Gale
DeleteI've never been one to shy away from drugs, violence, more drugs and more violence ... in Lil Richard voice ... my, my my. Bring it bro!
DeleteI like drugs -- hook me up too bro!
DeleteHere ya go - it really is the most extraordinarily brilliant writing I've read for decades. The Last King Of California, by Jordan Harper (currently working through his œuvre - boy oh boy).

Thanks a mill FT3.
DeleteAnd of course there's erstwhile Blaster Dave Alvin's fine, fine album King of California, for those more of the listening persuasion than of the reading.

DeleteYou mean aparts from the pieces whats we wrote here and these witty comments keepin' the Isle afloat of course!
I'm reminded of a quote from Brideshead:
ReplyDelete“A blow, expected, repeated, falling upon a bruise with no smart or shock of surprise, only a dull and sickening pain and the doubt whether another like it could be borne.” ― Evelyn Waugh
Bearing that in mind.
2Pac is bludgeoned to death by Lord Sebastian Flyte, with a brick hidden inside Aloysius the teddy bear.
2Pac and Sebastian contra mundum
Good Lord!!!!
DeleteThat's the Brideshead Bros for th' win, so far!
Be afeared rightly lad, be very afeared. Genius.
DeleteI know nothing about these two, other than Jeremy Irons is sometime keyboard player in prog supergroup Thotch, that being the case he would have probably had to load his Hammond organ into and out of venues, so I recon he'd be physically fit and he could 'have' Tupak, easily.
ReplyDeleteI was returning to work next door the Y on Spear Street in San Francisco once and low and behold ... John Tesh was getting out of a limo a couple of doors down. I started pouring change into his meter, like I'd been doing up the street while the meter maid was trying to ticket everyone ... I told him how much I loved his music, I don't, didn't, maybe won't except for him playing 'Iron Man' with Dweezle Zappa. He gave me a stack of CDs. LOL. The next week, while he was drunk because otherwise he doesn't do it for anyone, when a valet said, "Mr. DaMaggio, the other silver car", I knew the time was ripe and I got Joe D'Maggio's autograph. I've never sold it. After I'm dead they'll throw my autograph book in the incinerator with no clue of the value of the few things I have kept in my life. Toodles.
DeleteFor those new to this game - this is what you do:

Y'know, pals, scrolling down thru the posts linked above reminds me once again that youse bums don't deserve content of this quality.
DeleteIt may be Saturday on the sweet lotus banks of the Mekong but over here in the coveted 12th position on Newsweek's "Most Popular Place to Vacation in America" in 2021 it's only or already Tuesday depending on which hemisphere your on. Anyways I have to side on the winning side:
DeleteIt's well known that Tupac was a closeted homosexual and that his feud with Big-E was the result of an acrimonious breakup following a torrid love affair. In this cagematch, the Brideheads' Boys lure Tupac into a menage a troi and while they are in the process of forming the Burmese Love Triangle, Dame Cynthia sits on Tupac and smothers him betwixt her not-so-sweet cheeks.
*** correction: my 7 year old niece reminds me that the position is more commonly referred to as the "Rolling Burmese Love Pyramid" since it involves hoisting one of the conjoined participants vertically above the others and then slowly somersaulting the vertical triangle so each participant is hoisted in turn. This requires quick timing from Dame Cynthia to squat at the appropriate interval but no doubt she is up to the task given her athletic prowess honed by endless hours on the croquet and badminton courts.
DeleteAn excellent response from the man many are now calling MrDave! Longtime resident of Slab City, MrDave wears a robe of homespun furball and his National Sport is always performed to minor key music.
DeleteI always gotta stay strapped
ReplyDeleteand I never get to lay back
'cause I always gotta worry 'bout the payback
some buck that I roughed up way back
comin' back after all these years
rat-tat-tat-tat-tat.
That's the way it is.
Hmm. Ambiguous.
