Search - Ringworm :: Lindsay Lohan (Raw)

14mercy is proud to present the sophomore album by all-star band Ringworm. They're back and ready to croon sweet nothings into your ears. The widly successful debut from Ringworm was standard Top 40 Pop, critics said. Sure, it was a guilty pleasure, made you dance, and had you bobbing your head-but was there any real substance? With Lindsay Lohan (Raw), Ringworm put a gun to the head of those same critics and dares them to repeat their previous statements. 14mercy frontman NNMaddox, Todd Zombie, Stagger Lee, Mike Macharyas, Mayumi, (H)aig, and Reverend Jenkins all make appearances on this incredible collection. And for the very first time, 14mercy artist 50 Yen lends his talents to a track. "A Prairie Home Companion" is Asian rap like you've never heard. Sucker MC's call him Sire. Intelligent rap, you say? Believe it. The real gem of this album though comes in "Life-Size." NNMaddox calls it the best song he's ever written. And it's available nowhere else, but on Lindsay Lohan (Raw. You may never hear it on the radio, or see the video on TRL, but rest assured, it's a great song. Wesley Willis fans will love the track "Bobby." Keeping in tradition with Willis' bizarre songwriting, "Bobby" is a complete sonic mess, just like Wesley would have wanted it. Reverend Jenkins: What more can be said about this guy? Hear him sound off on the state of entertainment on "Hollywood Is Burning." This track was written for Lindsay's 19th birthday and read at a ceremoney commemorating the event. Those who loved NNMaddox's Pepper Shaker album will be pleased to hear a higher quality alternate take of the ballad "17." This version is more guitar-driven and retitled "Edge Of Seventeen." And that crazy Mike Macharyas. Mikey, Mikey, Mikey. Sill boy, saying celebrities' names over and over. You do so little, and you do it so well. He repeats the feat on "Lindsay Lohan Vs. Wilmer Valderrama" and "The Plastics." Lohan behold, spooky man Todd Zombie proves he has a softer side by returning for "Get A Clue," a song about an adorable Disney movie released in 2000. Though the film is still in its preliminary stages, Ringworm decided to delve into the topic of the John Lennon assassination and J.D. Salinger's anti-hero Holden Caulfield with "Chapter 27." Sung from the point of the view of Lennon's assassin, "Chapter 27" is a harrowing tale of a disillusioned youth making a name for himself in a demented, but unforgettable way. Don't let MTV, VH1, Rolling Stone, SPIN, Entertainment Weekly, US, People or any of those dull Top 40 Radio stations try to tell you what is art and what is not. Think for yourselves. And remember, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't change a daughter to fodder.
