fire, water, air and dirt / fukkin magnets / how do they work?

Two Faygos procured in Harper Woods
And sorry I could not spray you with both
And be one Juggalo, long I stood
And shook up one as much as I could
To better soak with Red Pop your clothes

Then shook the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Then a pelican took to the air
His fucking pouch, my cell phone's in there
Last time I'll toss fish in Frisco Bay

And two bitches that morning I furiously laid
With faces painted white upon black
Oh, I sprayed Faygo on the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if she should ever come back

Fucking magnets, I say with a sigh
I don't want to talk to no scientist
Two Faygos procured in Harper Woods
I shook the one labeled Rock & Rye
And that has made all the difference.

god damn

good work all around. these should be published imo.

outstanding

nobody heard him, the pelican
but still he lay moaning
i ate from a juggalo in frisco bay
and not a fish but a cellphone

poor bird, he always loved fukkin magnets
and now he's dead
it must have been the faygo his heart gave way
they said.

oh no no no, it was faygo always
(still the pelican lay moaning)
i ate from juggaloes all my life
and not a fish but a cellphone

guitar solo almost as good as final placement

Philip Larkinsane Clown Posse

I saw the best minds of my juggalo nation blown by magnets, starving hysterical naked,
dragging themselves through the faygo cans at dawn looking for an angry fix,
jester-painted hipsters toking for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night,
who poverty and tatters and hollow-eyed and high sat up smoking in the supernatural darkness of their parents' basements festering 'neath suburbs of Detroit contemplating Mushroomhead

lol, i thought the same thing!

Will there be a line-by-line poll for this song? I think it deserves one. I'd vote for the thing about the bird eating his cell phone.

Doctor Casino just dropped a truth bomb -- this needs to happen

I was going to but this song is too lyrically dense to organize into a poll

hang on

Are you a believer in mira-POLLs? Do you notice and recognize mira-POLLs?

In Frisco Bay did Violent J
A pelican attempt to feed
Where Alph, the Faygo river ran
through shit that shocked the eyelids of man
Down to a clownless sea

lj I commend you for that windhover version

Pelican wants cellphone!

hey forks, watch this whole thing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfisddCgtsg

and give us the highlight reel

Things that need to be mentioned on this thread:

--The recent Juggalo episode of Law and Order
--The Juggalo episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force

wkiw icp in that interview, shame they are actually icp.

Come away, o Jugglo, to the water,
With the pelican hand in hand,
For the world's more full of Faygo, bitch,
Than you can understand.

insane clown poesy

HEROES

real q is which producer is going to step up and do a decent balearic edit of the instrumental outro to this song? could see prins thomas playing it out maybe.

man that interview is actually really solid & appears to be somebody in icp's crew surreptitiously taping bashir interviewing them - they're really awesomely forthright - pretty inspiring tbh

^i've always said this. they are smart, down-to-earth guys who totally understand their place in the world.

i kind of want to interview them myself, but i don't know how the pitch would go. Like call psychopathic and be like "do you want to talk about the fact that hipsters are deconstructing you all day?"

as usual you're shoehorning the word "hipster" in where it's kind of unnecessary, but i don't think it'd be that hard a sell, to want to talk to them about how the outside world views them. plus, i mean, you don't put on clown makeup and then get mad when people laugh at you.

as usual you're confusing "fun" with "requires an actual news peg"

the line about what you'd say when calling their label made it seem like you were talking about how to justify the interview to the interviewees, not to an editor.

i would love to see other examples of me making that same mistake regarding fun and news pegs though.

ie, the outside world has been kind of joking about ICP so years, but now theres a ILX/BC0/hip1noin/VLV/Williamsb0ard-etc. (ie, the Das Racist audience) deconstructing their every move and occasionally showing up that the Gathering to take pictures

omfg this thread

And then my heart with pleasure fills,
to recognize these mirakills.

poor bird, he always loved fukkin magnets

oh Violent J we love you come back

the fuckin' toves
Did gyre and gimble in this bitch.

XI
He rode over Connecticut
In a glass coach.
Once, a fear pierced him,
In that he mistook
The shadow of his equipage
For juggalos.

Forgive me
it was delicious
maybe you could get it out
using some sort of magnet?

To lead you to an overwhelming question …
Fucking magnets, how do they work?

And fuck you bitch-ass faggots, juggalo for life

I saw the best minds of my juggalo nation blown by magnets

just in tears...

noz has had some good defenses of the juggalo phenom

that's kind of like saying "hipsters go to Will Ferrell movies, therefore Will Ferrell is a hipster phenomenon"

having read through several of the long icp/juggalo related threads i'm still rly unsure what to make of them

beyond 'the fact' of their transitory meme life there's obviously something there, but it seems like they've bequeathed a culture that thrives without them? like if icp vanished the thing would go on somehow, and some other business would organize, or the juggalos wd self organize rhizomatically

on the contrary, i think they're a cottage industry unto themselves in part BECAUSE they're smart businessmen and know how to merchandise and service their fans. they're like the new Kiss, makeup and all.

and btw i don't really think what they do is that remarkable or unusual, once you look past how crazy the whole ICP thing is. i mean, 311 have a similarly enduring cult and huge annual events, etc., the refugees of the '90s that have survived in this way are always kind of surprising and often horribly uncool.

http://www.campbisco.net/

sure xp, and one of the rationalizations the icp could use is that if they didn't run the show someone else would

in this sense icp could be avatars of ameriolative capitalism, like anthony giddens or something

it wouldn't just disappear without icp, they're probably getting terrible abuse on juggalo boards right now for the miracles vid/song anyway

ameliorative (lol

this doesn't seem to be just a 90s nostalgia thing, the 2009 'gathering' apparently had more people than ever before

and give us the highlight reel

"That's hardcore wrestling."
"That derives from Japan, that's been around forever, we didn't make that up."
"You can take a baseball bat, wrapped in duct tape, rolled in thumbtacks, and spanked across somebody's naked scrotum, know what I'm sayin'? We could go on and on."

LOL 5 minutes in it becomes clear the next room is blasting Beyonce

So awesome. At 9 minutes in Bashir reads an example of one of their 'romance' lyrics and starts laughing, and then everyone starts laughing, and he is told by a man wearing clown make up "See, you're laughing, how can you take this shit seriously?"

by mentioning that someone whose mainstream profile peaked in the 90s has enjoyed a devoted following since then i was in no way attributing that to "90s nostalgia" fwiw

They are really pretty down to earth guys who just see their art in the same vein as the lowest-common-denominator entertainment they love (wrestling, horror movies, etc.).

"There are plenty of great, hidden, underlying messages that take years to decipher."

no that's right xp, and of course the nostalgia audience will often increase with time in any case, but the juggalo thing evidently both endures with older gens and speaks to kids with no cultural memory/assocations with that time

not sure i'd liken it to people following 311 or whatever, they may be as numerous but not as committed in most instances, and 311 is more anachronistically nineties whereas the juggalo thing sort of seems to exist outside of normal pop cultural time now?

oh god bashir is such a tool in this interview

I see hatchetman stickers and ICP shirts on enough cars and people that I never really bat an eyelash, but the other day I saw a huge 311 sticker in the back window of a car and did a huge double take, like the fact that someone was still manufacturing giant window-size 311 stickers is just crazy. I didn't know they were still around.
