Friends and Partners

So it looks like there might be a chance to get our song “7 Evil Exes” on the DVD to Scott Pilgrim VS. The World. It's not quite getting it in the movie, but would sure count as “achieving the original goal”. I really can't believe how well the contest went and can't believe Edgar Wright actually responded.

So now there's a contest called “Indie Rock VS. The World” that is a battle of the bands (in honor of Scott Pilgrim) to (among other things) get the song on the DVD.

So go to http://www.indierockvstheworld.sonicbids.com/BandDetails.aspx?b=14752&n=Former%20Fat%20Boys and vote. You have to enter an email address and click a confirmation in your email to make your vote count. I'm really sorry. Hard Corey and I HATTTTE having people vote for us in contests, but I really want to make this happen.

Please tweet and Facebook the shit out of this contest. If you want a short, simple link to pass around just use http://pilgrim.formerfatboys.com. It's easy to remember and share.

The contest runs through May 28th and you can vote once a day. If you do that...well...I...thank you.

FOR THE NEXT SEVENTEEN DAYS or until APRIL SEVENTEENTH DO THE FOLLOWING!

Simply paste the following into Twitter and tweet it as many times as you want/can (each tweet is one entry and the more entries the better chance you have at prizes):

INFORMATIONAL VIDEO EXPLAINING THE CONTEST:



LYRICS:
Umm...apparently there's been some requests for lyrics to the song we tried to get on the soundtrack to Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.

Here they are.

its crazy this girl's got me wrapped around her little finger
she's skating through my dreams, but i can't say i've ever seen her
she's got an attitude, she's got a fantastic butt
but i'm playing with knives, so i just may get cut
cuz these are the details of my precious little life
as i try to find a way to make it all work out right
its like its all been paused and she just pushed the start
i can take on Ganon now, her potion refilled all my hearts
all these evil exes and no exits to run to
the old 1, 2 its only forward can't go back no control z to undo
cuz i got a crazy ex who's slightly underage, filled with rage
obsessed with my sex bob-omb on and off the stage
and what i lack in confidence, i make up in spazz
and when of flying array of demonic hipster chicks attacks
i'll just reflect their blast, send it back
cuz i'm that smooth
i guess i can't lose
i'll fight these bad dudes

cuz she's got 7, 7, 7
evil ex boyfriends
and they're coming and i'm running
and i'm trying to defend
her honor and her life
cuz i've never lost a fight
and I ain't gon start tonight
they'll drop hard when i hook right

cuz she's got 7, 7, 7
evil ex boyfriends
and they're villians, super villians
so this just might be the end
so i grab on to her hand
jam out with my band
it may look like i'm losing but
that's all part of the plan

this must be punishment for my seven deadly sins
that i committed cuz a little envy's doing me in
like i'm samson, she's delilah, i get a new haircut i die cuz
that's my weakness and this week is not my week cuz i am sleepless
between, lisa, envy, knives, kim, ramona, and winifred
and 7 evil exes i'm worried my destruction is iminient
i need lives unlimited, cuz i need wins not useless points
with no bus fare, a long walk home unless i score me some coins
cuz i just wanna say i love you like i'm mario she's peach
but i'm feeling like a toadstool just staring at my feet
and i keep getting letters spelling my impending doom
but i just throw em in the trash cuz i am about to go boom on her

7, 7, 7
evil ex boyfriends
and they're coming and i'm running
and i'm trying to defend
her honor and her life
cuz i've never lost a fight
and I ain't gon start tonight
they'll drop hard when i hook right

cuz she's got 7, 7, 7
evil ex boyfriends
and they're villians, super villians
so this just might be the end
so i grab on to her hand
jam out with my band
it may look like i'm losing but
that's all part of the plan

its like i'm embattled in an epic quarrell
its like i'm jonathan strange but there's 7 mr. norrells
its like playing contra without 30 lives, i'mm a die
mission impossible and i'm tom cruise now, not 95
i can't win, there's an ex girlfriend now i can't hit a chick
where do you punch e m, can't kick her ass, can't punch her tits shit
if only i could find it, on this subspace road, a cheet code
for something from the gilded house of flying burritos, mmm burritos
i'll use my bass guitar to whoop that vegan's ass
manipulating sound waves like the boys and crash
and i'll take down that famous actor and score his autograph
and if she lets me grab her boobs i'll have the last laugh on her

7, 7, 7
evil ex boyfriends
and they're coming and i'm running
and i'm trying to defend
her honor and her life
cuz i've never lost a fight
and I ain't gon start tonight
they'll drop hard when i hook right

cuz she's got 7, 7, 7
evil ex boyfriends
and they're villians, super villians
so this just might be the end
so i grab on to her hand
jam out with my band
it may look like i'm losing but
that's all part of the plan

Enjoy.

State of the Union time motherfuckers.

I apologize for failing to get an album out in 2009 (other than my phony baloney ringtone album Roostledoodledoo) Things are going to change. Hard Corey has been hard at work on the new album for a few months here, but I'm not sure you can expect it very soon. There's also a second album that he's planning to work on after the first is finished.

However, while you wait for those, I'm going to be busting out mixtapes like crazy. I've just been sitting on too much awesome shit for too long. So I'm going to record another album on my own and put that out in addition to a mixtape called “Download A Car” (www.downloadacar.com).

Stuff like this will be on www.downloadacar.com:


One Republic Featuring Former Fat Boys - Secrets (Radio Remix) - The funniest bloopers are right here

Anyway, I promise this will be a year of crazy shit.

New remix next week and new music video in 2 weeks!

Sort of...or the brilliance of MC Lars, k.flay, and YTCracker who happen to shine so brightly that we look good for just being apart of it.

Whatever the case, be it our own brilliance or the brilliance of the other artists on “We Have Arrived” a track I was lucky enough to score a guest spot on, PunkNews.com was digging it. Someone just forwarded me the review of MC Lars's This Gigantic Robot Kills in which PunkNews.com raves about the album and our track saying:

We Have Arrived” brings k.flay, YTCracker and the Former Fat Boys together for a proclamation of the success of nerds and nerdcore, and is likely one of the best rap tracks that will appear this year, playing off the abilities of the individual artists in a showcase of talent.

You can read the whole review right...here: http://www.punknews.org/review/8148

Today I want you to keep the following in mind: “God grant me the serenity to kick some motherfucking ass today & karate chop the shit out of anyone slowing down my train of awesome.”

Back to your regularly scheduled handjobs.

I have a lot of news for you today. To kick things off, there's a boatload of new Former Fat Boys tracks and videos headed your way. First things first you have to check out and buy the new MC Lars album This Gigantic Robot Kills and tell your friends about it in real life, Facebook, MySpace, and Twitteronia. Head on over to his MySpace to hear some tracks, but just to put things in perspective the album is fantastic and includes guests like The Aquabats, YTCracker, WEIRD AL YANKOVIC, Simple Plan, Nerf Herder, The Donnas, Cobra Starship, AND FORMER FAT BOYS. We're on the track “We've Arrived” with YTCracker, K. Flay, and Lars doing some bragging and whatnot. If you're still on the fence, head on over to YouTube! and watch the video for the song “Guitar Hero Hero” which is probably one of the funnest music videos I've seen in awhile.

Lars has been really cool to us and has helped with two new songs for our upcoming record “The Legend of Hard Corey” which Corey and I are currently putting the final touches. We're hoping for a late Spring release followed by some shows and then at the end of summer we're planning to release “Party In My Basement” which will hopefully change your lives.

Right now though, I am announcing the release of the first (probably only) Former Fat Boys ringtone album entitled “Roostledoodledoo”.

Check out the cover here:


Roostledoodledoo was inspired by my sense that ringtones were the generally the most insipid awful things I've ever heard AND that a lot of rap music shares those characteristics. I was...err...inspired by the last Kanye West album a lot. Some T-Pain too. So I made what Kanye would call ART and what resulted was the 99 track opus that is Roostledoodledoo. It should be out mid-March or early April, but until then please enjoy the first single SPACEDINOSAUR.

Lastly, I did a new remix of Kelly Clarkson's new single My Live Would Suck Without You and created a sort of hybrid video from other people's YouTube! covers. I think it's pretty fun, have a look here:


As always, thanks for your support and stay tuned for an insane 2009. I'm not screwing around from saying my carpal tunnel is out of control from mixing so many songs and editing so much video.

Here's the deal. Last year in a desperate attempt to get a new Former Fat Boys Christmas tune released I rushed the production of the music video for “Keep the Change”. It was the first video we shot in HD, and there were production issues. So the video has been re-issued and is now on YouTube! in Widescreen HD. Also, the MP3 download link can be found in the YouTube! video info....it's free! Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and if you celebrate another holiday...HAVE A GREAT ONE OF THOSE!

Check it out! We shot it on location at the house from Home Alone. Also, you can download the MP3 right there at YouTube! for free, so go! You can also see how we destroyed my bookcase and house while attempting to toboggan down the stairs as a delete scene at the end of the music video. We made it look successful in the actual video, but it...err...wasn't.

So, we've made a bunch more remixes and the MP3's will be up shortly, but until then check them out on YouTube! and if you like them, post them on your MySpace or Facebook's. Enjoy!
