"Charlie Rose" by Samuel Beckett

This is Perfect.

now you know i'm ready

"I'm Ready" is one of the standout tracks on Accelerator, a later-period album by sleaze rock geniuses Royal Trux. After having forgotten about it for many years, this tune returned to my brain around 4am last night as I lay cruelly awake. RTX was a epiphanic experience for me as a lad, esp "Twin Infinitives," which sounds like 40s European musique concrete filtered through 60s UK blues-rock and fired out of the asshole of an 80s American noise wasteland, outrageous/brilliant as any free jazz salvo. If you haven't jammed RTX in a while, take this opportunity to play "I'm Ready" or any other of their compositions, as their entire discography is CWR.

Juicy J - Hoes in this House

Regardless of how you feel about hoes, it is generally considered good form to signal to others when they are nearby. When others are informed, a group response can be devised. Possible responses include: flee, approach them with caution moving in a collective formation, or every man for himself. The presence of hoes can be indicated through statements like "I'm sorry, but are those some hoes over there, by the humidor?" or "Your Honor, I hate to interrupt, but I couldn't help notice there are in fact some hoes here." Sometimes it is enough to simply state in a calm, yet authoritative tone, "there's some hoes in this house!" Others will take this as a sign that if they see the hoes, they should point them out.

If you are shy and don't wish to voice the presence of hoes yourself, you can instead wait until others are finished playing music, and insert this cassette tape, recorded by Juicy J aka Juicy (Juice Manne) Jay of Three Six Mafia. The classic b-more club anthem slowed down to a codeine crawl should do the trick. As a means to communicate subtlely to others nearby the presence of low-hanging fruit, or simply as a mega-awesome rap jam, "Hoes in this House" is completely worth revisiting.

Bonus: at the end, Juicy J indicates that, despite rumors to the contrary, Three Six Mafia are not satanic.
