FUN LOVIN' CRIMINALS - "COME FIND YOURSELF"

The Fun Lovin' Criminals are an American alternative rap / alternative rock group from New York City. Their musical style is eclectic, covering such styles as hip hop, rock, blues and jazz. Their songs often deal with city/urban life, often explicitly New York City, covering such issues as organized crime, drugs, violence, poverty and politics. Their debut album, Come Find Yourself, was released in 1995 by Capitol Records and while it was a commercial flop in the US, it sold very well internationally, reaching #7 in the UK album charts. But they are probably best known for the band's biggest hit single to date, "Scooby Snacks", reaching #12 in the US, which features samples from films by Quentin Tarantino, interspersed with rap verses and a sung, anthemic, chorus. The album is very New York-centric, including tracks about the L-train (Bombin' The L), and Mafia crimelord John Gotti (King Of New York), with many smaller references in other songs.

This album is the perfect soundtrack to a hot summers day, sitting under an umbrella or on the front/back porch, sipping down an ice cold Palmed Arnold* from a mason jar for that old time back woods feelin' or cruising the strip in your drop top. Crank it, kick back and soak in the rays, the waves and the good 'ole days

*A Palmed Arnold© (aka Rosie Palm's Victim©...aka A Five Finger Fuck©)

Ingredients:

1/4 of Lemon Vodka
1/4 of Lemonade
1/2 of Iced tea

...serve with lots of ice. Preferably use Lemon flavored vodka for that extra lemony zest, but this mixture is also great for covering the taste of extremely cheap vodka, and/or any other spirits you deem worthy. Enjoy!
