Jack White Produces Insane Clown Posse (and Mozart)

From the PR (Nasty Little Man)

“In the grand tradition of peanut butter meeting Iggy’s chest or Bing Crosby getting down with David Bowie, Third Man Records is ecstatic to present the latest in a long-line of unexpected musical pairings…Insane Clown Posse and Mozart.Back in ’82, ahem, 1782, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote a piece that’s been left out of the spotlight ever since. The title of the piece is “Leck Mich Im Arsch” or literally translated to English as “Lick me in the arse.” Understandably this piece has figuratively been swept under the rug. So who better to give this piece it’s due respect than the wildly successful, much misunderstood, and divisiveSouthwest Detroit rappers Insane Clown Posse? 

With fellow Southwest Detroit-born Jack White at the production helm and musical backing by Nashville’s very own Jeff the Brotherhood, this 2011 version of “Leck Mich Im Arsch” marries Mozart’s melody (and lyrics sung in operaticGerman) with ICP’s poignant lyrical addition in English and Jeff the B’s monster-riffs, letting the whole thing tie together in the most beautiful of ways.

 

The b-side “Mountain Girl” finds Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope telling tall tales about a shotgun wedding, meth problems and moonshine…all pretty common-fare for a twangy country song birthed in Nashville.

 

The 7″ single and iTunes digital download of “Leck Mich Im Arsch” will be available for sale on September 13th. One-hundred Tri-color versions of the single will be available from the Third Man Rolling Record Store at the MI Fest in Brooklyn, Michigan on September 17th and another 50 Tri-colors will be randomly inserted into mail orders dispatched by Third Man Records.”

No time to re-write this, but noteworthy none the less. Kudos to Dana West and her Nasty Little team :)

Vita Smarta Water Runnin’ Tingz

I was invited to this Vitamin Water and Smart Water workout challenge thinking I’d get to watch a brief exercise demo and be rewarded in Vitamin Water swag.  But oh no, I had to work for my swag.  Work it GOOD.  The team at Track Fitness, a boutique health club in Forest Hill, lead us through a gruelling hour long set of intervals using a combination of treadmills and those girly light weights that are more suitable for playing fetch with your dog.  I’m all for exercise but it’s been a while since I’ve done anything in the aerobics department.

The stunt was part of a campaign for Vitamin Water 10, their new low calorie drink that has, as the name would suggest, just 10 calories.  I’m not a huge fan of the subtly flavoured, subtly supplemented vitamin “punch”. In fact, I’m much more likely to reach for a Gatorade G2 since the electrolytes have more redeeming qualities, but i do like that they are using stevia as a sweetener rather than aspartame or something artificial.
