Maybe a month or three ago, I posted a set of stems creatively titled "Indie Glitch Hop 100 bpm" to our shared Google Drive. We have a lot of these little stem sets which, someday, may aspire to be real songs. Sadly, so few are given the chance, because we have ADHD, or I do. I have ADHD, and everyone else has jobs. I think. Anyway.
Beefy hit me up about two weeks ago, saying he wanted to turn this particular stem set into a real boy, but he wanted a vocal hook to write verses for. Pleased our resident rap titan had looked kindly on my little beat, I eagerly obliged, improvising two vocal hooks, only one of which Ty, in his stellar wisdom, deemed "the good one;" and the other was thrown out. Curious? It was just me singing "Guy is going shopping" ad nauseum for measures at a time. The other became the song's opening, though "Guy is Going Shopping" remained the song's working title.
Brilliant horn work--sampled--was added by Tanner and then embellished by Ty with brass synths, turning the whole thing funky, and funk guitars, of course, had to follow suit.
And that's how we produced a hyperbolic tribute to a celebrity chef.
Stay tuned for big things during our May pledge drive, beginning tomorrow!
hass avocado
Blue cheese, gritz
That what goes on your grocery list
Wanna live forever? Be Nosferatu
Otherwise be mindful about what you put inside you..
Bland food got you screaming like a kaiju
Perhaps you should bump the kinda flavor I do
California you could bump into a starlet
None of which are shining half a bright as Johnny Garlic
Got that bleach in the beard, got the spikes in his hair
Add some goofy shit to a beer, It's like I'm already here
Put me on the air, and then I win it
Set shop in Times Square like oh no he didn't
It's like the called in the senate, man I was ordered to quit it
But not before I sent some food reviewers floating Chappaquiddick
But can't your life in the deep fry
Wind down, have a little bit of me time
Getting bananas with the groceries gang
Let me tell you how the list is made
Rise with the daylight
Steel-cut oats
Waltz to work on a tightrope rope
Live near my office--49th floor
Window to window; not the door
Blood of a tiger
Dragon’s flames
That’s the stuff pumping through your veins
Double-dark matter
Golden flake
Hold up, y'all, it’s my cupcake break
When this guy roll out to the club
Young ladies pour bottles, show love
But when this guy rolls out to the Winco
Shut down the streets get it ready for the freakshow
Double bagging Mongolian peas
2 for 1ing these coconut leaves
Full steam believing in my dreams
While ya living in the freezer to feed these poor things
Passing over soft spots, produce like a top boss
Roaming like a sasquatch, fellas be like oh gosh
And when you thought all was lost
Here come that DONKEY Sauce
Get the garlic, make it roasted
Worcestershire, add in mustard
Add that salt and pepper till it plays for days
And a whole bunch of muthafuckin mayonnaise
Matter destroyer
Hypercube
Universal healthcare
Railgun tube
Grand Unified Theory
Buncha ‘ludes
That’s the stuff that I’m purchasing, dudes
All of the water
All the land
Guy Fieri
Hey, what a man
Flavor town nation
Flavor world
That’s what I’m calling groceries, girl
“G” “U” Y” “F” “I” “E” “R” “I”
Live forever
Never die

Couldn't have made "BURNER" without the Nerdcore genre this man started. Love this O.G.'s exasperated take on the modern internet, and hope he hasn't given it up entirely! Laurence Warner
Beefy is back! This record bangs even harder than Part 1. Beefy is an artist I will buy music from without hesitation. He's a bad ass and kills it every damn time. If you like killer raps, a good sense of humor and awesome songs then this record is for you. GO GET IT NOW. Matt aka Stormageddon
