Dirty Wordz With Shane Hollands

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

Sheldon 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.

If this all seems like a fix of goodness to you, you’ll have to keep yer ears to the tarmac and check out what a beautiful snak bag o’ trax i got in papa’s gotta gotta get some bag an squzz yer squeezeballs southside of the page for today’s hottest Dirty Wordz…

Sometimes from Chaos comes beauty, and last weeks show was nothing if not chaotic, with mad technology glitching like a a CD skipping on high speed, and herein lies the rub folks.. I am so fricken over Cd’s and the issues they carry and the frustration didn’t get much larger than last week when half my tracks just wouldn’t play. I totally contemplated giving up the ghost and flicking my show entirely, luckily i was abused left, right and central for even suggesting it so that just ain’t gonna happen jack.
but something had to change, so in the spirit of change i invested in another usb device and spent a fair amount of time listening to what has become one of my favourite broadcasts The Bob Dylan Theme Time Hour for inspiration…
well I’ve completely restructured my shows format.
I’m not saying much, If you want the new dope show you’ll have to listen to…

Ok so I’m starting to sound like a dyslexia challenged Tourette’s crack baby in my blogs yup.. killa set killa set f$#kn killa set and maybe I’m the boy that cried woofer a bit too much but hella what a stupendous eye candy set of what could only be described as word-porn without the shagging, I have wrought for your ear titillation this week. Mad tracks so weird and wild you’ll double take your double takes.
I’m gonna kick it all of with the sublime master of degradation Mr Billy Burroughs with his timeless classic reading from the seminal (no pun intended, really) book ‘Junkie’ 103rd Street Boys, after that nugget it slips squarely into solid word-action with everyone from NZ’s own Darcy Clay and the inimitable Apirana Taylor to the latest in the Canadian word scene with a few classics (they don’t get more classic than Ken Nordine) to the sublime Dystopia & Sugarbeat. If that’s not good enough reason to tune-in web-on and word-out you just have to check Jeff Buckley reading Edger Allen Poe’s ‘Ulalume’.
After that if you’re in stone’s throw of Auckland best you pop into Poetry Live tonight to see the ‘Resurrection Night’ with yours truly playing the part of Charles Bukowski… not to be missed.
