This Means WAR!

If you are standing, you might want to take a seat. Maybe grab a glass of smooth brandy to help deal with this awesomeness. Today we received word from the one and only, Phil Butane. Now, granted, it's been a little while since we last had an update from Phil, but we always knew him to have his hands in some great projects, generally revolving around his work as a freelance film editor. But his current project? Our minds are officially blown. First, though, let's back up a bit. We met Phil, aka R. Cyn (pronounced 'arson'), back during our own stint as a hamster for Turn of the Century Pictures, a documentary film company located in a most spectacular penthouse suite in SoHo. Phil was the company's trusty editor in residence. Many a long hour we spent shootin' the shit with Phil in his darkened hole of an editing office, and we got to watch him evolve from a rookie editor into a confident, fully armed editor assassin. So when we eventually heard that Phil had left TOTCP to become that freelance editor of his dreams, we weren't surprised. Now, there is no denying that Phil is a talented editor. But it wasn't until he happened to let it slip that he occasionally performed as a hip hop artist, that we discovered Phil was also waving a serious freak flag behind the mic on the regular. Naturally we went to see one of his shows. We then were given a CD of some of his stuff, which we immediately downloaded and repeatedly enjoyed on our iPod. It was clear that Phil's passion, his calling, was in his music. So, when we heard today that Phil still does the editing thing, of course, but is putting most of his energy into his music, again it didn't surprise us. What does surprise us? Not only does Phil have a new album in the works specializing in the juicy, politically-charged content we love, but also a full-blown music video, multiple related websites, a band blog, and has been featured on the "Best of Myspace." You can check out his main website through the "Goldishack Guerrillas" link or go directly to his blog, "Guerrillas Speak", both under 'TCO Required Reading.'
BUT FIRST, ladies and gentlemen, TCO presents to you, the Goldishack Guerrillas performing, "Lazy, Fat, Stupid American, Featuring Rush Limbaugh" for their forthcoming album, "WAR": NOTE: Phil is the fine fellow seated to the right on the couch.
