Electric Tuesday: Wallpaper. – “I Got Soul, I’m So Wasted”
Tuesday, November 10th, 2009 at 4:20 pm | By: Radical Russ
Welcome to our new music lineup on the Daily Toker Tunes. Today and every Tuesday is now designated as “Electric Tuesday”. By “electric”, I mean today’s popular synth-based music, so on Tuesdays I’ll be bringing you the best podsafe dance, house, electronica, and New Age music me and our volunteer music editors can find.
Coming up for the rest of your week you’ll hear “Irie Wednesday”, “Groovin’ Thursday”, and “Rockin’ Friday”. If you are a musician or band that would like your 420-friendly tune played on the Daily Toker Tunes, just send me an email at stash@norml.org
When you’re scanning the intertubes for good podsafe music, a name like “Doodoo Face” is going to make you take a second look. “Doodoo Face” is the album from Wallpaper., the alter ego of Eric Frederic, a producer based in Oakland, California. According to reports, Eric was neck-deep in a series of isolated studio all-nighters when the song “Doodoo Face” pushed him into the beyond. Boxed in by layers of percussive funk, dark synthesizer blurt and crushing bass, Frederic lost himself inside of Ricky Reed, the character he’d long ago conceived as Wallpaper.’s frontman. He gave in to Ricky’s rampant narcissism, love for party and supreme indifference, and as a result, discovered the guiding duality behind Doodoo Face, the album: There’s sadness inside all that celebration. A little madness too.
Today’s tune from the album “Doodoo Face” is called “I Got Soul, I’m So Wasted” and it reminds me of days long ago dancing at the clubs when a drug or two would make me the greatest dancer on the floor, an opinion with which no one outside of my wasted mind would agree.
