hey fellers this is couch au john now. feel old yet?

over the years, i filed the serial numbers off couch au john and they evolved into their own lil OC that i love with all my heart let me tell you all about them

They're an any pronouns baddie (they/she/he) named Jerico - as a kid they went by Ricky but now they go by Jeri. Still a sprinter, still a college student, still a gross gremlin and love of my life. They're also nonbinary genderqueer transfemme 2 spirit, being mixed race indigenous - however due to Tragic Backstory reasons they're a foster kid and not super in touch with their indigenous culture & history

at 12 they were adopted by their gay foster dads , Daniel n Henri, and live with them and Booker (affectionately called Booger or Boog), Dan's nephew

their story is kind of a coming of age one where they were like, thought they were gay until they meet and fall in love with Sean, who is a trans man that cracks their lil egg open and helps them realize and affirm their gender while helping them recover from trauma. Sean is from ireland originally but moved to the states with his mom Some Time Ago. He's trans and short and super cute and they meet at a party where they really hit it off! Sean is bi but has only dated women (ex lesbiannnnn)

yes he is also just rdr sean rebrand but he's great and i love him and they';re perfect for each other and they live happily ever after and also they have an ugly nerd boyfriend named Kiran the endeddd

(Kiran is Kieran but he's desi and appalachian and autistic and i love him too the end)

Episode 168 : No Sudden Moves

"I was a seventies baby, raised in the eighties..."

- Scarface

An appropriate quote for this month's episode, in which we keep a constant speed all the way through - an unbroken chain in the low-80s BPM range! A little rugged, a little smooth, some old and some new, and hopefully something for each of you 🙂

Remember, you can always see a list of my next few upcoming streams and gigs @ events.airadam.com!

Playlist/Notes

Lupe Fiasco ft. Jay-Z : Pressure

The show starts back in 2006, with a selection from Lupe Fiasco's debut "Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor", produced by Prolyfic. He came out strong on this album, representing Chicago in fine style, a city that historically hadn't been as regarded as some when it came to Hip-Hop. Being able to get Jay-Z in for a feature on your debut, even back then, was a sign that you were to be taken seriously, and Lupe has definitely justified that in retrospect.

Marco Polo : Pirate Hookers

The modern move towards independent digital releases on platforms like Bandcamp means it's easier than ever to get hold of gems like "MP On The MP ; The Beat Tape Vol. 2" - at one time they just wouldn't have come out at all, or maybe got a limited run of hard copies. It's hard to describe this track, but the quieter sections make me think of the back streets in a French detective movie, while the louder parts are much more bombastic. If you like hearing instrumentals breathe without vocalists, support releases like this and let the artists know!

Dan Greenpeace & Diamond D : Nowhere To Run To

This release was an incredibly pleasant surprise - I had no idea it was coming out until just before release, when Greenpeace posted about it on Instagram. I've had the pleasure of knowing Greenpeace since the mid 90s - he was working at a company where I had a summer job, and we bonded over a love of Hip-Hop. He was DJing on the side and was a big influence on my listening, putting me up on artists I might not have heard at the time, and he was the absolute first person I remember talking about independent Hip-Hop in the sense of the early Rawkus releases and things like that. I even remember him having the idea of a column in Hip-Hop Connection called "Independents' Day", which came to fruition some time before another well-known magazine "borrowed" that title for their column and ran with it! Anyway, around the time we met, Diamond D's first LP would not long since have been out, so it's amazing to see him producing a track for an artist that we would both have been looking up to from afar all those years ago. Chunky, dark, menacing, the beat is a suitably threatening setting for Diamond's bars, and when one of the most storied producers in Hip-Hop history allows you to produce him, you know you're doing something. Salute!

The Away Team : Steppin On Toes

A nice bit of rugged aggro with Khrysis on the boards and Sean Boog on the mic as The Away Team, a North Carolina crew that came out as part of the Justus League collective. This is on their second LP, 2007's "Training Day", which has some really solid tracks and is definitely worth a listen. While 9th Wonder was the most prominent producer from Justus League, Khrysis was putting out heat round the same period and has continued to work to the present day, with beats for everyone from Busta Rhymes to Rapsody.

Slim Thug : No No No

One of two straight tracks from Southern legends, we go to the nawf of Houston for a killer from last year's "BIGslim" (which it seems, is the name he plans to go by in the future) album. It of course features Slim's distinctive relaxed yet straightahead flow, as well as a Mr. Lee beat with some nice contrast - rapid, dead-on hi-hats alongside a main drum pattern that gets there when it gets there!

Scarface : Safe

The first full track on "The Fix" and a personal favourite from Scarface's long and storied catalogue, this is a raw record that explicitly talks about the contents of your safe while implicitly talking about the lack of safety in the street life. China Black is on production, and the pitch-bending bassline is a perfect menacing undertone.

Damu The Fudgemunk : Last Ole - 2005

It's been a while since we visited the 2008 "Spare Time" album from Washington DC's Damu, full of gritty, unapologetically sample-based beats, so why not do so as this particular beat turns eighteen? My goodness, it doesn't seem like quite that long ago...

Your Old Droog : The Groundhog

He pops up, says what he has to say eloquently, and then disappears again. On this new-ish single, Brooklyn's Your Old Droog clearly remembers the borough of a different era, before all the gentrification that make the area look as it does now - and as he points out, makes some new arrivals look at those who already lived there as the outsiders. The wisftul instrumental by Znakomi is a perfect musical accompaniment to the sentiment.

Hit-Boy & The Alchemist : Slipping Into Darkness

I can't think of another track quite like this brand new release. Not only does it change beat partway through, but each beat has a different producer. Not only that, but each producer also rhymes on the track. Finally, each producer is spitting over the other's beat. Hit-Boy, on Alchemist's beat, definitely had a lot to get off his chest - I don't know how the other producers he mentions in his verse will react to it!

Groove Armada ft. Jeru The Damaja : Suntoucher

This track is over twenty years old, but it's new to me! The opening cut from the "Goodbye Country (Hello Nightclub)" album, it's got a super-long instrumental intro before the vocals properly come in, courtesy of the East New York representative Jeru The Damaja. The main beat is based around a classic soul sample, which I believe is cleared, so I can tell you about it - the excellent "Something For Nothing" by MFSB.

Neneh Cherry : Manchild

A childhood favourite! I've loved this track since it was a radio hit as a single drawn from Neneh's debut "Raw Like Sushi" album back in 1989. She came out raw indeed, with the B-Girl vibes from day one, which you can hear popping up on this track on the short rap verses. This was apparently the first song Neneh sat down and wrote, and she smashes it out of the park - all kinds of chord changes running through it, and a melancholy feel to the lyrics, talking to a man who needs to grow up and fix up a little to get where he needs to be.

Marco Polo : Straight Spittin 4.5

I didn't originally intend to play two Marco Polo beats this episode, but it just flowed that way while browsing through tracks when I was standing at the turntables; don't be mad when you hear quality like this! Those drums are booming and banging over this MPC workout from his edition of the Fat Beats "Baker's Dozen" series, each an instrumental album from one producer.

Heavy D & The Boyz : Yes Y'all

Some boom-bap head-nod flavour from the late Heavy D's 1993 "Blue Funk" album. If you're steeped in the music of that era, you'll recognise the piano sample and usage as identical to that on Gang Starr's "92 Interlude" from the "Daily Operation" LP - DJ Premier tells the story much better than I ever could on an episode of his "So Wassup?" YouTube series, so I'll direct you over there!

Statik Selektah, Nas, Joey Bada$$, and Gary Clark Jr. : Keep It Moving

Statik has been one of the producers continuing to carry the flag for modern, soulful Hip-Hop, respecting the traditions and refining the approach. This was a personal favourite from the 2020 album "The Balancing Act", and while everyone on the mic does their thing...this is a Nas cut as far as I'm concerned :)

Tall Black Guy Productions : Black II Soul

You pretty much can't lose if you're sampling the legendary track this one is based on - or maybe more accurately, you shouldn't touch it if you don't know what you're doing! Fortunately, the man TBG can flip pretty much anything and then enhance it with his warm, soulful musical vibes. One of the many excellent flips/remixes/homages in his catalogue, it's one you should definitely add to your collection, especially for the sunnier days.

Children of Zeus ft. Akemi Fox : Balance

One of the best groups to come out in I don't know how long, Manchester's own Children of Zeus continue to stack up wins! This was the title track from their second full LP (but don't forget "The Story So Far..." and "The Winter Tape", and was highlighted by having the only guest appearance on the whole album, fellow Manchester vocalist Akemi Fox. If you've not yet heard the album, line it up for a listen today - you won't be disappointed!

Deckwrecka : Rough Winds

Another beneficiary of my big vinyl digitisation project, this is a track - well, a whole record, to be honest - that disappeared into the depths of my collection through no fault of its own. Taken from the 1998 "Deckwrecka 4" EP, this is a piece that sounds more gentle and refined than its title, or even the name of the artist, would suggest.

Lindsey Webster ft. Norman Brown : Free To Be Me

While Lindsey Webster is an artist I stumbled on some time ago, this particular track from 2018's "Love Inside" LP is one I think I heard on Twitch - H3 or Big Stove might have played it. A breezy bit of modern jazz featuring the skills of guitar boss Norman Brown, it might not be something that would ordinarily pass your ears but I thought it was a nice uplifting track to end the episode with!

Please remember to support the artists you like! The purpose of putting the podcast out and providing the full tracklist is to try and give some light, so do use the songs on each episode as a starting point to search out more material. If you have Spotify in your country it's a great way to explore, but otherwise there's always Youtube and the like. Seeing your favourite artists live is the best way to put money in their pockets, and buy the vinyl/CDs/downloads of the stuff you like the most!

Consider this a companion piece to last August’s Stan “The Guitar” Man compilation, as this other west coast guitar-playing Stan was also helping many rappers get their points across in the 90′s. For years I thought the 2 Stans were the same person! But this is rap where there can be 2 Havoc & prodeje’s so we have no choice but to double stan.

Rap credits are murky but below is a bonus 8-pack of songs where the G-Man gets a mix/engineer credit although he probably played on some of these records as well.

REFLECTIONS

As many of us have fallen further into the ruts of Spotify, it’s worth noting that the most exciting rap projects of 2019 weren’t available on streaming services: the enigmatic leaks and snippets of Playboi Carti and the incessant string of YouTube-only bangers from the wildly prolific Sada Baby (who also dropped two solid mixtapes and a killer album).

My favorite rappers of the year were rising star turned chart-topper Roddy Ricch and gritty, Flint powerhouse Rio Da Yung OG. Roddy took Album Of The Year with PFMFBA (even though his best track “Ballin” wasn’t on the album) and Rio released at least five solid mixtapes along with dozens of unfailingly-outstanding features.

Duke Deuce’s gloriously rowdy “Yeh” was my favorite rap song. DaBaby seems to be the biggest rapper out and I enjoy his music, but none of his songs made the cut (although he has great appearances on “Cash Shit” and “Under The Sun”). The biggest surprise of the year was having two solid J. Cole features on the list, although I still don’t respect him since he ruined “Planez” (among other things).

I moved to Milwaukee in early 2019 and realized that I’ve been sleeping on some serious talent. From the straight-up Milwaukee slap of Spanish Rice to the polished-up slap of Lil Chicken’s latest release Billy. But 54 Baby Trey transcends the slap and I could see him having a promising career once he finally drops an album or mixtape. (Meanwhile download my unofficial 54 Baby ‘The Mixtape’ here.)

While on the topic of Wisconsin rap, I have to shout out Nathen Peni’s “Iceberg,” which is Green Bay’s greatest rap song since C.W.A.’s “Where The Hell Is Neenah.” Hoping he comes up with a better rap name in 2020, though.

Matthew Tkachuk #7

*This was supposed to be inspired by a song requested a couple of months ago but it totally took a different turn when I started writing it. This is just as good and as cute, though. I hope you enjoy! <3*

Word count: 812

The first time your eyes laid on Matthew Tkachuk, fists were flying, not sparks. He had a big bruise forming on his cheek, his knuckles white from his fingers being curled so tight, and his wild curls almost matted on his sweaty forehead. He was seven years old.

That was the day you fell in love with him. Probably. Or maybe you were just attracted to him because the St. Louis jersey he refused to take off had such beautiful colors.

Not that the red of Calgary doesn’t suit him because it does, really.

It’s just that, sometimes it’s nice to think about the time when you had Matthew Tkachuk all to yourself. Before Mitch Marner and the London Knights happened, and especially before Sean Monahan, Johnny Gaudreau, and the rest of the Calgary Flames took him even farther from you.

Gosh, you can still remember his draft night and how your eyes were glued to the television, just waiting for his name to be called. Of course there was a delay in the telecast and you had already received a text from him saying he was darfted sixth overall even before Pierre-Luc Dubois was called on TV. Of course.

That was the night you realized you had to let go of him. He wasn’t just Matty of next door anymore, he was going to be Matthew Tkachuk, the NHL player.

It’s been years since then but he’s still as loveable and, if you’re lucky (or unlucky, whichever way you see it), you can still see a big bruise forming on his cheek… just like all those years ago.

Just like the bruise he has on his face right now. Gosh.

“What’s up, boogs?” he asked, plopping next to you, his heavy arm automatically draping around your shoulder.

You rolled your eyes at him. The NHL might take the boy out of St. Louis, but they can’t take St. Louis out of the boy – you will always be boogs to him. Booger, really. A nickname he started to call you more than eleven years ago when he caught you with snot dripping from your nose.

“Enjoying yourself?” he asked, his nose nuzzling your neck.

“Hmm,” you smiled, looking at him, “this is nice,” you said, resting your head on his shoulder.

“Yeah?” he sighed, “you looked like you were plotting a murder,” he chuckled, “you’re just sitting here with that look on your face.”

You frowned, “what look?”

He lightly kissed your forehead, “the one you get when I don’t shower after training.”

OH.

“I was just thinking how when you got drafted, I didn’t want to share you with the world,” you laughed.

“Ha,” he snorted, “the world? No, never. My mom, though, for sure,” he looked you in the eye, “but not the world.”

You gently traced the black eye he was sporting, “the first time I saw you, you had a bruise on your face, you know.”

He winked, “it was the purple on my face that got you, huh?”

“Nah,” you shook your head, “it was the double chin and the Dennis the Menace attitude.”

“Ohhh,” he nodded, “so you like bad boys?” he asked, his eyebrows quirking, turning until he had his legs over your lap, effectively trapping you, “you like this bad boy?” he grinned, kissing your chin, “yeah?”

Cupping his face, you leaned a little and kissed him gingerly, “I like this bad boy very much.”

“Even with the black eye?”

“Oh, especially with the black eye,” you giggled, “it adds character.”

Matthew tried to move the swollen part of his face before wincing, “should I get a black eye every game?”

You poked his side, “do you want me to give you one every day?”

He paused, as if he was thinking about it, “I’d rather you don’t. I like my face like this.”

Nodding, you shifted until you were the one straddling him, his back against the arm of the couch, “I like your face too, Matty,” you sobered, “I’ve liked your face for more than ten years now.”

He looked smug, “stalker.”

You huffed, “says the guy who climbed my window when he was twelve years old.”

“Only because you had my Play Station!!” he said defensively.

“Hmm,” you teased, “if you say so.”

Matt stretched until he was lying on the couch and you were lying on top of him. Softly, he cradled your head against his chest, his arms giving you a big bear hug.

“For the record,” he whispered, his hand stroking the small of your back, “this bruise-faced bad boy is really glad you went to that peewee game.”

Kissing his chest, you answered, “for the record,” you smiled, “this snot-faced good girl is glad she went too.”
