"Love Rollercoaster"

To say the Ohio Players are one of the greatest funk bands of all time kind of falls short of the mark. The Ohio Players are, quite simply, one of the greatest bands of all time. The Dayton R&B outfit got their start in 1959 as the Ohio Untouchables and their leader Robert Ward was like a funk version of Jim Morrison--brilliant but unpredictable, Ward would walk offstage mid-gig and never come back. He was punk long before there was punk and he was a wild card for sure, but charisma can carry you pretty far in art. But, to be fair, it can't always carry you over the line and the Untouchables started swapping out personnel, Ward included, and they rebranded in the late '60s as the Ohio Players. A false start found them skidding to a halt in 1970, but then, things started to gel. A furious blend of funk and soul, The Ohio Players started racking up hits like Love Rollercoaster, Fire and Who'd She Coo? Albums like Skin Tight, Honey and Contradiction remain indisputable classics and the band is still at it, currently in the studio cooking something up. As for James Diamond Williams, he joined the band around '74 and he quickly asserted himself as one of the very best behind the kit. A muscular player with swagger and swing, Williams is one of those guys who makes it look easy--and if someone is great enough to make something difficult look easy, you can be assured it isn't.

Keeping the throwbacks rolling… this one goes back to 2014 at Contrive in Akron, opening for the legend Titonton. I’m pretty sure this was one of the first times I played a House set in front of a room full of true heads, and remember having a serious case of imposter syndrome while doing it.

Huge shout out to Mark Roscoe for having me out, and also to Darrell Stout for his constant push for me to become a House Gangster.

The holidays are exhausting, snow is exhausting, poor exhaust ratio is exhausting... even when you have access to full sound, this time of year can beat you down. Imagine if you DIDN'T? Imagine if you had to shovel all this snow and Cleveland's own HOMOSTUPIDS only left you about a voicemail's worth of stuff to listen to?

Episode 214 - Homostupids

When employees hear “employee benefits,” they might think of healthcare, perks, wellness programs, PTO, 401(k) plans or disability coverage. But when HR professionals hear “employee benefits,” they’re likely thinking about cost management, compensation strategies, open enrollment, and—most importantly—compliance. Compliance is a cornerstone of today’s insurance landscape. With that in mind, let’s dive into your December 2025 breakdown of Compliance in Motion.

Side Affects Episode 157 | Compliance in Minutes - December 2025

i love u

prod. // mixed by: newport motel

richer to richer
stronger than gold 
you wear the skin
i play the folds 
everything’s painless
void of despair
shake off the slumber 
trace my ribs as they bare

come chase it back like it’s nothing
i wanted nothing but trouble 
with you
come stall me back make me wait
i’ll keep it pushing for days 
cuz you make me
feel like a person when the light shelves me to peace 

oh sweet victoria, i’ll come up clean
till then it’s mirrored in the void 
when drowning in delusion  
come batter to confusion  
would it be a stretch to say you’re annoyed?

you want guitar? why don’t you 
why don’t you cut my strings?
girl come, split your fingers through the hole
wrapped around 
i’ll write scratch up your name into the floor 

don’t have my head on right i gotta find it, love
i let the teeth sink in, don’t let it eat me up


babe, let’s go a little bit deeper
oh a little further 
there’s a deeper shade of pity 
what’s worth, to go and hurt her? 
is it just another reason?
just a new contusion  
come and ship me to a shrink 
watch the phone, late nights in ruin 

is it crippling through the ground
pushing through the floor 
and if it’s chipping at the paint would she cast away for sure? 

the moment’s fleeting, and it’s flailing  
oh god if i could only go back 
dull away the feeling in my head oh dearest prozac 

tell me what you decide? 
is a heart worth sharing with the lycanthrope
you know
down the barrel stared the kaleidoscope 
her eyes

ribs
