██
Sage talks about the latest Sick Of... release, and tells ██
the stories behind the songs: ██
██
I wasn't sure if I would ever release another mix of this ██
sort after the last one, but it's been a couple years since ██
my last official album and I've accumulated a large number ██
of "left over" tracks that never found their way onto an ██
official album. I also opened up the 4-track vault this year ██
and was able to unearth some solid material that dates back ██
to 1996. ██
██
My music career, as most people know it, essentially began ██
with the "Sick of Waiting" mixtape in 1999. Now that I've ██
typed that out I've realized that we're essentially ██
celebrating the "Sick of" mixtape series' 10th birthday. Hot ██
damn. It seems like just yesterday I was dubbing all the ██
original tapes, cutting and pasting the album covers, ██
writing out the album info on the stickers, and selling them ██
hand-to-hand at shows. Time (f)lies. ██
██
The first Sick installment was called "Sick of Waiting." ██
That title was inspired by my frustration in waiting around ██
for something official to pop off. I felt like the iron was ██
hot and I needed to strike whether the labels were willing ██
to scoop me up or not. So I threw together a batch of ██
recordings/demos/freestyles that I had hanging around and I ██
began selling the mix at shows. This was the beginning of ██
Strange Famous Records. ██
██
10 years later the label has grown and expanded in ██
significant ways. It has become the home to many of my ██
favorite hiphop artists in the indie scene as well as a ██
constant reminder of how much work it takes to get ██
underground musicians the exposure they deserve. ██
██
Like all of the "Sick of" mixes, "Sick of Wasting" is not ██
just an attempt to showcase my own material. It is also a ██
means to promote all the featured artists involved, most of ██
whom have projects of their own that have been released ██
recently or will be released by the end of the year. Be sure ██
to check for their respective projects. ██
██
As this project is a free digital download, we certainly ██
don't expect this to be a big money maker. However, the ██
sales for the CD at our online store have gone well so I'd ██
like to thank everyone who has shown support. For anyone ██
without money to spend on music, the material is there for ██
you to download anyway. We hope you enjoy it. ██
██
4 eva & always, ██
Sage Francis ██
██
Here's a quick break down and explanation of each track: ██
██
1) Strange Fame (2009) ██
██
This is probably one of the fastest songs I've ever put ██
together. Self-produced, recorded, mixed and mastered in my ██
home studio over the course of 1 day. Due to the obvious ██
sample issue, this is something I could never officially ██
release but I've always wanted to jack this David Bowie song ██
for a Strange Famous anthem. ██
██
2) S.A.G.E. Bastard (prod. by Buck 65, 2009) ██
██
Buck 65 put together this interlude by chopping up an ██
obscure Blowfly recording. ██
██
3) I Trusted You (beat by Buck 65, 2009) ██
██
Buck 65 put together the beat. The intro and outro samples ██
are from a televised Andy Kaufman performance. Kurtis SP ██
sent me the "Sage" samples. I arranged all the vocal samples ██
which took longer than it probably should have. The ██
sentiment of this song is extended to more than a few people ██
I've had the displeasure of sharing portions of my life ██
with. That's all I will say about that. ██
██
4) Needle (beat and scratches by Buddy Peace, 2009) ██
██
These lyrics have been around for quite a while. I was ██
waiting for an opportunity to use them on an official album ██
but it just never happened. I eventually recorded this song ██
to another beat but wasn't too thrilled with the outcome. ██
When I sent it over to Buddy Peace he capped it off with ██
that incredible scratch-sentence outro. And then at some ██
point I sent him the acapella at which point he remixed the ██
whole song and breathed new life into it. The funky sample ██
he uses reminds me a bit of the first KMD record, and the ██
drums definitely kill. I've never performed this song live ██
but I look forward to it. ██
██
5) House of Bees (feat. B. Dolan, beat by Buck 65, 2009) ██
██
Recorded at B. Dolan's studio dungeon, mixed and masted at ██
my home studio. I don't want to ruin any magic about this ██
song, so I will keep this explanation short. Buck 65 put ██
together a face smashing, boombap beat and we realized the ██
song had to be about a house of bees. I told B. Dolan the ██
concept of the song and he delivered some shit that made me ██
want to go back and rewrite my verse. I never did end up ██
rewriting my verse, but I think its all for the best. ██
There's a unique version of this track with Buddy Peace's ██
scratches at www.myspace.com/bernarddolan ██
██
6) Jaw of Steel (beat and scratches by Reanimator, 2009) ██
██
I fully intended on this song being on an official album, ██
but the way my new material is shaping up it just wouldn't ██
fit. This beat was first going to be used on Prolyphic and ██
Reanimator's "The Ugly Truth" album. When it ended up not ██
being used, I jumped at the opportunity to place some lyrics ██
on it. There were a lot of vinyl snaps in the record that ██
Reanimator sampled and I did my best to eliminate most of ██
them, but in the process I think I may have affected the ██
overall sound quality of the song. Whatever the case, I like ██
the pace and build of this song. ██
██
7) If I Go To Hell (demo, 1997) ██
██
Originally released as a "Track of the Week" on ██
SFRstore.com, this song was retrieved from the vault of my ██
4-track tapes. The sound quality is iffy, the music is ██
jacked from DJ Shadow, but I enjoy the lyrics for the most ██
part. I think this was the beginning of anti-religious ██
sentiment in my songs. ██
██
8) Conspiracy to Riot (beat & scratches by Reanimator, 2008) ██
██
Reanimator sent me this beat a while back and he labeled it ██
"militant." I kept it around not totally sure of what I ██
should do with it until all the pieces eventually fell into ██
place. Originally released on www.ConspiracyToRiot.com as a ██
way to raise funds for Jared Paul's defense lawyers, this ██
song joins the ranks of my other highly political tracks. ██
Performing this song in MN while having thousands of people ██
put their middle finger up for the police in their state was ██
a gas. ██
██
9) Be a Star (beat by Buck 65, 2007) ██
██
This song was made during the course of making my Human the ██
Death Dance album but it didn't seem to fit very well. Also, ██
the sample clearance would have been a headache. It's mainly ██
just an upbeat track that I did for fun. Perfect candidate ██
for a "Sick of" release. ██
██
10) Sea Legs (feat. B. Dolan & Sleep. Scratches by Buddy ██
Peace. ██
Additional vocals by Jared Paul and Curtis Plum. Beat by ██
Aupheus, 2009.) ██
██
██
This monster posse-cut was originally released as a free ██
download during the relaunch www.StrangeFamous.com to ██
celebrate our 2009 roster. Everyone featured on this song ██
recorded their material in their own studio and sent their ██
contributions to me via email. I had to paste it all ██
together and surprisingly it worked. I am a splice master. ██
I'd love to do a full album like this at some point with all ██
the SFR artists. Not only does B. Dolan completely slay this ██
track, but so does Sleep and this is the first song I've ██
ever done with him. Check for his new album "Hesitation ██
Wounds" which drops on June 30th, 2009. You can download his ██
single right now at www.StrangeFamous.com ██
██
11) Flashback 96 (home recording, 1996) ██
██
The lyrics of this song were originally written in 1993. ██
Since then, I have recorded various versions of the song. ██
The version most people would be familiar with is the "I ██
Keep Calling" song, however this stripped down version was ██
retrieved from old 4-track tapes and it's got a lot of ██
charm. I'm also amused by the idea of having flashbacks ██
during a time where it sounds like I'm still a little kid. ██
██
12) Masturbate Your Brain (AOI demo, 1997) ██
██
Another "lost tapes" discovery, this is a 4-track recording ██
of me with my first band before we hired a live drummer. The ██
rhymes are tightly packed and the accent is quite thick. ██
██
13) SFR Pays Dues (feat. B. Dolan & Prolyphic. Scratches by ██
Reanimator. 2008) ██
██
Originally made as a promo track for the Paid Dues Festival, ██
this song was recorded on the spot in the SFR studio. ██
Instrumental for this track was taken from the Beatnuts. ██
██
14) Pump (beat and scratches by Buddy Peace & Reanimator, ██
2009) ██
██
Boombastic, Mr. Fantastic. This song went through many ██
incarnations before a remix beat collaboration came together ██
between Buddy Peace and Reanimator. That mix of talent is ██
tough to deny. The beat knocks hard and the scratches are ██
ridiculous. Big up yaselves. ██
██
15) Revenge of the Ogre (interlude w/ Trinity) ██
██
Radio interview snippet between me and SFR forum's very own ██
Diane! ██
██
16) Who Farted? part 1 (courtesy of XAUL ZAN, 2009) ██
██
This is only part 1 because I fully expect more songs to ██
follow up where this one leaves off. While touring with ██
Grand Buffet a few years ago we came up with a rhyme game to ██
figure out who farted. It helped us stay sane during long ██
drives. Xaul Zan decided to take the worst of the worst and ██
make a song about it. He turned a beautiful song by The ██
Knife into something dirty and juvenile. Figures. ██

Sage talks about the latest Sick Of... release, and tells ÛÛ
the stories behind the songs: ÛÛ
ÛÛ
I wasn't sure if I would ever release another mix of this ÛÛ
sort after the last one, but it's been a couple years since ÛÛ
my last official album and I've accumulated a large number ÛÛ
of "left over" tracks that never found their way onto an ÛÛ
official album. I also opened up the 4-track vault this year ÛÛ
and was able to unearth some solid material that dates back ÛÛ
to 1996. ÛÛ
ÛÛ
My music career, as most people know it, essentially began ÛÛ
with the "Sick of Waiting" mixtape in 1999. Now that I've ÛÛ
typed that out I've realized that we're essentially ÛÛ
celebrating the "Sick of" mixtape series' 10th birthday. Hot ÛÛ
damn. It seems like just yesterday I was dubbing all the ÛÛ
original tapes, cutting and pasting the album covers, ÛÛ
writing out the album info on the stickers, and selling them ÛÛ
hand-to-hand at shows. Time (f)lies. ÛÛ
ÛÛ
The first Sick installment was called "Sick of Waiting." ÛÛ
That title was inspired by my frustration in waiting around ÛÛ
for something official to pop off. I felt like the iron was ÛÛ
hot and I needed to strike whether the labels were willing ÛÛ
to scoop me up or not. So I threw together a batch of ÛÛ
recordings/demos/freestyles that I had hanging around and I ÛÛ
began selling the mix at shows. This was the beginning of ÛÛ
Strange Famous Records. ÛÛ
ÛÛ
10 years later the label has grown and expanded in ÛÛ
significant ways. It has become the home to many of my ÛÛ
favorite hiphop artists in the indie scene as well as a ÛÛ
constant reminder of how much work it takes to get ÛÛ
underground musicians the exposure they deserve. ÛÛ
ÛÛ
Like all of the "Sick of" mixes, "Sick of Wasting" is not ÛÛ
just an attempt to showcase my own material. It is also a ÛÛ
means to promote all the featured artists involved, most of ÛÛ
whom have projects of their own that have been released ÛÛ
recently or will be released by the end of the year. Be sure ÛÛ
to check for their respective projects. ÛÛ
ÛÛ
As this project is a free digital download, we certainly ÛÛ
don't expect this to be a big money maker. However, the ÛÛ
sales for the CD at our online store have gone well so I'd ÛÛ
like to thank everyone who has shown support. For anyone ÛÛ
without money to spend on music, the material is there for ÛÛ
you to download anyway. We hope you enjoy it. ÛÛ
ÛÛ
4 eva & always, ÛÛ
Sage Francis ÛÛ
ÛÛ
Here's a quick break down and explanation of each track: ÛÛ
ÛÛ
1) Strange Fame (2009) ÛÛ
ÛÛ
This is probably one of the fastest songs I've ever put ÛÛ
together. Self-produced, recorded, mixed and mastered in my ÛÛ
home studio over the course of 1 day. Due to the obvious ÛÛ
sample issue, this is something I could never officially ÛÛ
release but I've always wanted to jack this David Bowie song ÛÛ
for a Strange Famous anthem. ÛÛ
ÛÛ
2) S.A.G.E. Bastard (prod. by Buck 65, 2009) ÛÛ
ÛÛ
Buck 65 put together this interlude by chopping up an ÛÛ
obscure Blowfly recording. ÛÛ
ÛÛ
3) I Trusted You (beat by Buck 65, 2009) ÛÛ
ÛÛ
Buck 65 put together the beat. The intro and outro samples ÛÛ
are from a televised Andy Kaufman performance. Kurtis SP ÛÛ
sent me the "Sage" samples. I arranged all the vocal samples ÛÛ
which took longer than it probably should have. The ÛÛ
sentiment of this song is extended to more than a few people ÛÛ
I've had the displeasure of sharing portions of my life ÛÛ
with. That's all I will say about that. ÛÛ
ÛÛ
4) Needle (beat and scratches by Buddy Peace, 2009) ÛÛ
ÛÛ
These lyrics have been around for quite a while. I was ÛÛ
waiting for an opportunity to use them on an official album ÛÛ
but it just never happened. I eventually recorded this song ÛÛ
to another beat but wasn't too thrilled with the outcome. ÛÛ
When I sent it over to Buddy Peace he capped it off with ÛÛ
that incredible scratch-sentence outro. And then at some ÛÛ
point I sent him the acapella at which point he remixed the ÛÛ
whole song and breathed new life into it. The funky sample ÛÛ
he uses reminds me a bit of the first KMD record, and the ÛÛ
drums definitely kill. I've never performed this song live ÛÛ
but I look forward to it. ÛÛ
ÛÛ
5) House of Bees (feat. B. Dolan, beat by Buck 65, 2009) ÛÛ
ÛÛ
Recorded at B. Dolan's studio dungeon, mixed and masted at ÛÛ
my home studio. I don't want to ruin any magic about this ÛÛ
song, so I will keep this explanation short. Buck 65 put ÛÛ
together a face smashing, boombap beat and we realized the ÛÛ
song had to be about a house of bees. I told B. Dolan the ÛÛ
concept of the song and he delivered some shit that made me ÛÛ
want to go back and rewrite my verse. I never did end up ÛÛ
rewriting my verse, but I think its all for the best. ÛÛ
There's a unique version of this track with Buddy Peace's ÛÛ
scratches at www.myspace.com/bernarddolan ÛÛ
ÛÛ
6) Jaw of Steel (beat and scratches by Reanimator, 2009) ÛÛ
ÛÛ
I fully intended on this song being on an official album, ÛÛ
but the way my new material is shaping up it just wouldn't ÛÛ
fit. This beat was first going to be used on Prolyphic and ÛÛ
Reanimator's "The Ugly Truth" album. When it ended up not ÛÛ
being used, I jumped at the opportunity to place some lyrics ÛÛ
on it. There were a lot of vinyl snaps in the record that ÛÛ
Reanimator sampled and I did my best to eliminate most of ÛÛ
them, but in the process I think I may have affected the ÛÛ
overall sound quality of the song. Whatever the case, I like ÛÛ
the pace and build of this song. ÛÛ
ÛÛ
7) If I Go To Hell (demo, 1997) ÛÛ
ÛÛ
Originally released as a "Track of the Week" on ÛÛ
SFRstore.com, this song was retrieved from the vault of my ÛÛ
4-track tapes. The sound quality is iffy, the music is ÛÛ
jacked from DJ Shadow, but I enjoy the lyrics for the most ÛÛ
part. I think this was the beginning of anti-religious ÛÛ
sentiment in my songs. ÛÛ
ÛÛ
8) Conspiracy to Riot (beat & scratches by Reanimator, 2008) ÛÛ
ÛÛ
Reanimator sent me this beat a while back and he labeled it ÛÛ
"militant." I kept it around not totally sure of what I ÛÛ
should do with it until all the pieces eventually fell into ÛÛ
place. Originally released on www.ConspiracyToRiot.com as a ÛÛ
way to raise funds for Jared Paul's defense lawyers, this ÛÛ
song joins the ranks of my other highly political tracks. ÛÛ
Performing this song in MN while having thousands of people ÛÛ
put their middle finger up for the police in their state was ÛÛ
a gas. ÛÛ
ÛÛ
9) Be a Star (beat by Buck 65, 2007) ÛÛ
ÛÛ
This song was made during the course of making my Human the ÛÛ
Death Dance album but it didn't seem to fit very well. Also, ÛÛ
the sample clearance would have been a headache. It's mainly ÛÛ
just an upbeat track that I did for fun. Perfect candidate ÛÛ
for a "Sick of" release. ÛÛ
ÛÛ
10) Sea Legs (feat. B. Dolan & Sleep. Scratches by Buddy ÛÛ
Peace. ÛÛ
Additional vocals by Jared Paul and Curtis Plum. Beat by ÛÛ
Aupheus, 2009.) ÛÛ
ÛÛ
ÛÛ
This monster posse-cut was originally released as a free ÛÛ
download during the relaunch www.StrangeFamous.com to ÛÛ
celebrate our 2009 roster. Everyone featured on this song ÛÛ
recorded their material in their own studio and sent their ÛÛ
contributions to me via email. I had to paste it all ÛÛ
together and surprisingly it worked. I am a splice master. ÛÛ
I'd love to do a full album like this at some point with all ÛÛ
the SFR artists. Not only does B. Dolan completely slay this ÛÛ
track, but so does Sleep and this is the first song I've ÛÛ
ever done with him. Check for his new album "Hesitation ÛÛ
Wounds" which drops on June 30th, 2009. You can download his ÛÛ
single right now at www.StrangeFamous.com ÛÛ
ÛÛ
11) Flashback 96 (home recording, 1996) ÛÛ
ÛÛ
The lyrics of this song were originally written in 1993. ÛÛ
Since then, I have recorded various versions of the song. ÛÛ
The version most people would be familiar with is the "I ÛÛ
Keep Calling" song, however this stripped down version was ÛÛ
retrieved from old 4-track tapes and it's got a lot of ÛÛ
charm. I'm also amused by the idea of having flashbacks ÛÛ
during a time where it sounds like I'm still a little kid. ÛÛ
ÛÛ
12) Masturbate Your Brain (AOI demo, 1997) ÛÛ
ÛÛ
Another "lost tapes" discovery, this is a 4-track recording ÛÛ
of me with my first band before we hired a live drummer. The ÛÛ
rhymes are tightly packed and the accent is quite thick. ÛÛ
ÛÛ
13) SFR Pays Dues (feat. B. Dolan & Prolyphic. Scratches by ÛÛ
Reanimator. 2008) ÛÛ
ÛÛ
Originally made as a promo track for the Paid Dues Festival, ÛÛ
this song was recorded on the spot in the SFR studio. ÛÛ
Instrumental for this track was taken from the Beatnuts. ÛÛ
ÛÛ
14) Pump (beat and scratches by Buddy Peace & Reanimator, ÛÛ
2009) ÛÛ
ÛÛ
Boombastic, Mr. Fantastic. This song went through many ÛÛ
incarnations before a remix beat collaboration came together ÛÛ
between Buddy Peace and Reanimator. That mix of talent is ÛÛ
tough to deny. The beat knocks hard and the scratches are ÛÛ
ridiculous. Big up yaselves. ÛÛ
ÛÛ
15) Revenge of the Ogre (interlude w/ Trinity) ÛÛ
ÛÛ
Radio interview snippet between me and SFR forum's very own ÛÛ
Diane! ÛÛ
ÛÛ
16) Who Farted? part 1 (courtesy of XAUL ZAN, 2009) ÛÛ
ÛÛ
This is only part 1 because I fully expect more songs to ÛÛ
follow up where this one leaves off. While touring with ÛÛ
Grand Buffet a few years ago we came up with a rhyme game to ÛÛ
figure out who farted. It helped us stay sane during long ÛÛ
drives. Xaul Zan decided to take the worst of the worst and ÛÛ
make a song about it. He turned a beautiful song by The ÛÛ
Knife into something dirty and juvenile. Figures. ÛÛ
