Insofar as the irony of "retro-futurist 80s rebel pop" was too overwhelming to recreate in sound or iconography, the band known as iLL-Literacy has either speciously or insightfully (maybe both) opted for sample-inspired, bass-driven electric gospel funk in the form of their new single, "Gentleman's Kool-Aid." The soymilkbuttasmooth lead track is both a reflection on the warped and often glennbeckianized historical narratives of what it means to be a "gentleman", and perhaps a confession of the fragile ecology of male ego. Let's call it pollution of the Egology, otherwise known as "drinking thine own Kool-Aid."

Oh, man, I feel so OLD! This is some old-school coolness! Reminds me of the times when MTV music videos were strange and inventive and creative! Good job, guys! And She-Hulk giving Professor X a lap-dance? Asian lego guys hitting on white barbies? Awesome! Also, woo-hoo! FIRST POSTER!
