J. Phlip can do no wrong. The only chickadee in the dirtybird coop dropped big booty bass bombin’ ”Barbary Coast” today to the delight of, well, anyone diagnosed with continuous arterial palpitations. ”Bootyberg” has got more kicks than a Foot Locker. More bounce than a kangaroo’s pouch-full of bump. Enough chunk funk in the trunk to blow the treads off an M1 Abrams. The sleaze oozing out of this entire release is all the more apt when you account that it’s named after the gold-rush era red-light district in San Fran (aka dirtybird HQ). Ol’ Ben Lloyd’s take on the glory days of the Barbary Coast in 1876 is probably the best way to describe every sub-smooshin’ cut on this EP.

“The Barbary Coast is the haunt of the low and the vile of every kind. The petty thief, the house burglar, the tramp, the whoremonger, lewd women, cutthroats, murderers, all are found here. Dance-halls and concert-saloons, where blear-eyed men and faded women drink vile liquor, smoke offensive tobacco, engage in vulgar conduct, sing obscene songs and say and do everything to heap upon themselves more degradation, are numerous. Low gambling houses, thronged with riot-loving rowdies, in all stages of intoxication, are there. Opium dens, where heathen Chinese and God-forsaken men and women are sprawled in miscellaneous confusion, disgustingly drowsy or completely overcome, are there. Licentiousness, debauchery, pollution, loathsome disease, insanity from dissipation, misery, poverty, wealth, profanity, blasphemy, and death, are there. And Hell, yawning to receive the putrid mass, is there also.”

B. E. Lloyd. Lights and Shades Of San Fransisco. 1876
