The Dirty Wordz Show # 38 • Blog & Playlist
Well, Kid, as Tom Waits said “Sometimes life throws you a Curveball, Kid“, the rumours are true, unfortunately Life has been thrown a flip ball at me and I can’t make any commitments after Nov 1st so Tuesday 27th October is gonna be the very last Dirty Wordz Show with your host Shane Hollands (at least for an incalculable time). It’s a shame, I have been pretty much enjoying my wild exploits & explorations into the wierd and very strange universe of Dirty Wordz, the guests, the dangerous mash-ups and even (kinda) the constant wrestle with the deamon that dwells inside the Fleet Computer. I hate to do it peeps but as Johnny Cash said, “There aint a god-damn thing I can do about it”.
Thank you all the people that have made the Dirty Wordz Show a journey into beauty.
I figure that gives me about 9 shows left so my mission is going to make my last shows as bizzare and twisted beautiful statements of intent as I can.
I intend to break boundries and I tell you now that I will.
This week, thanks to suggestion by my good friend Xrys Burgess I’ve decided to do a mini feature on Shel Silverstein & also b.dolan
Sheld
on Alan “Shel” Silverstein (September 25, 1930–May 10, 1999) was American poet, singer songwriter, cartoonist, screenwriter & author. He sometimes styled himself as Uncle Shelby, especially for his early children’s books.
Silverstein confirmed that he never studied the poetry of others and therefore developed his own quirky style: laid-back and conversational, occasionally employing profanity and slang.
Another cat you all should be looking at is b.dolan.
B. Dolan is an activist ,performance artist,slam poet based inProvinc, Rhode Island, USA B. Dolan’s art is often incredibly genre-defying; though his work bares a clear hip-hop influence. He’s been doing a lot of work with another Dirty Wordz favourite Sage Francis and they are both members of The Strange Famous Records Crew. Check out their website here & grab the free download of “House of Bees vol. 1,” a collection of songs released for free and mixed by SFR’s own Buddy Peace.
