Toro Y Moi is going to be releasing some new songs in September. On the thirteenth of that month he’ll be putting out an EP called Freaking Out. The songs on there have been recorded after his album release Underneath the Pine, which came out earlier this year. The label taking on this endeavour is Carpark.
Freaking Out was also a chapter in the diaries of Ernst Wiegelstein. The following is an excerpt from that chapter: This was a day that had me freaking out. For first I heard of the untimely death of Humbert Double. Oh how the world lost a cultural figure! His book Flowers in Springtime tend to Rise Whereas They Don’t in Winter and his poetry collection Ode to a thirteen-year old Grecian Urn were absolutely astounding, so much so that he won multiple awards for them. He was almost nominated for a Nobel Prize in Literature even, were it not for the hypocrisy and the conformism of the judging panel. They said they could not possibly nominate a person who, and I paraphrase here, Corrupted people’s minds with ill-advise and brought the youth in serious jeopardy with his output between 73-78. Now, to fall over the moral side of his essay How to fondle boys under the age of fifteen while it was so full of poetic lyricism will always be beyond me, and to this day I attest the Nobel Prize’s oversight.
More sad news came when I heard about the awful car crash incident that killed fourteen people. Some idiot drove way too fast and had placed a ramp so he could jump into the shopping crowd with his car. Needless to say this ended in mayhem and the loss of fourteen lives. Further investigation has already cleared the cause of this reckless and dangerous behaviour, as from his DVD collection it was perfectly clear that his love for films with car chases instigated the deaths of these fourteen people. Bullitt, Deathproof, The Fast and the Furious, Vanishing Point, and The Italian Job were amongst loads of films that clearly have corrupted this young man’s mind. Since forever I have been advocating in favour of a ban of these kinds of films as they give an amoral example for the viewer. Also I often have taken a stance in favour of temporary commitment of those who in their collection have too many films with a car chase sequence. For it already indicates that what is foremost on their minds. And the films themselves then feed into this corrupted mindset. It, after all, normalizes this outrageous and dangerous behaviour and numbs the soul, which causes the natural defences one of a sound mind has to deteriorate. This to such an extent that for the viewer of these mad automobile films it becomes a viable option to act in such a manner. The result we see here, but I guess first people should lose their lives before anything is done about this!
