i wish party breaks records like those released by av8 had become a pop-cult reference point instead of stupid old bootlegs. slapping two whole songs together? that is some dull rockist shit compared to the expert merging of hooks from dozens of recent and past anthems. party breaks had a chance when the shoot tha pump compilation was released a few years ago, hitting around the same time as dj kool's "let me clear my throat". it got some press, but it never found any kind of niche, at least on this side of the pond, perhaps solely because dj kool is so annoying. this is a shame because it means no one ever ever ever talks about this kind of record; sometimes i feel like i imagined the whole genre. (is this how indie fans feel about their favourite crummy band?)

when all the hooks and stolen beats fit, like on "franklinz" by the crooklyn clan or "pimp style" from the new best of buds comp, they satisfy my disturbingly short attention span and confirm the feeling that verses should be discarded from music altogether. why does everything else have to be so boring all the fucking time?

(recent lack of posts on spizzazzz due to a) getting bored of songs while literally in the process of writing about them b) going on a group outing to see the new star wars film (which should obviously have been subtitled yoda vs. dracula) c) setting up time-consuming internet radio station d) with the exception of "without me", all the songs on the radio at the moment are awful considering its nearly june and the summer anthems should be breaking out - pull your finger out someone!)
