Super Duper Fun Gun - creatureguts.june.weblum

Orion Guimond tires for no man or thing. His light-switch-style energy system has no cool down or warm up time. He’s full on until he’s not on and that’s how this month’s weblum was made. Full on. Oh my god (thank you double rainbow guy). I have on multiple occasions peeled Orion up from my kitchen floor after a HEAVY night of partying. Dude just goes until there is no more going. He pushed all of us to  make this month’s weblum something unique. And I think we got some pretty amazing sounds captured this time.

Orion approached me back in January when I was still figuring out the framework for the creatureguts project. He asked to book June , five months in advance, so that he could have enough time for his bandmate Sarrah Verdier (The Hand That Bleeds) and Gordon F Cady (Party Killer) to mess around with some loose song structures while he was trying to find the crassest dirty-hip-hop lyrics he could to accompany. When they came to me they had some real solid, but simple ideas, and I had some preconcieved notions of what the thing would sound like, but none of us knew that what would happen when we put all this junk down. It really turned into something all its own. They asked Melissa Greene to come in for extra vocals and we spliced and diced the whole thing up for a week.

I really wouldn’t call it hip-hop, even though that’s sort of how we initialized the whole thing. I mean, it’s got aspects of that; there is some rapping, but it’s not really machismo, chest pumpin shit; and there is a back beat sometimes, but it’s all live drum and bass tracks. Gutter Rap, Trash Hop, Shock Hop, Toilet Talk, Drug Hop, Mang’sta, Rub’n'Face, Spit. Spit. I like Spit. This music is Spit. Spit Hop. Spit-hop. What do you do when you don’t want this shit in your mouth no more? Spit. That’s what happened this month. It was in our heads.
