He's gonna make it big, ain't he?

I found Jane Fonda & Waiting To Die off some blog a couple of weeks ago and have almost exclusively listened to them since then. Much as I have tried to love the (leak'd) late summer signifiers that I ultimately just can't get excited about, a to me unknown and entirely obscene white boy rapper steals the thunder I had reserved for Justin. A former male escort, It Is Said solemnly and portentously. A former junkie, Some Continue. That's as far my knowledge goes.

The music is damn catchy and fucking humourous and it gives me an excuse to swear on an online board (which is always a good thing), in fact he seems to be a bastard child of Beck back when he was new and exciting and whoever is a better motherfuckin' rapper than him.

No YSIs (yet?) cos the ones who can find will find.

i just looked this kid up, and was immediately so close to dismissing him outright... i mean, between the fact that his publicity campaign rests heavily on his decadent past and the fact that his audience seemed to be the left-over electroclashers, i was so ready for massive style over substance.

after listening to his songs for the past hour, i've gotta say that i no longer give a shit about style, substance, or anything else. i just want to have some people over and dance 'til i puke. this shit is AWESOME, although i can't guarantee that i won't hate it after a few months if this becomes as much of a hipster houseparty staple as it probably will.
