Riley St. Clair: Mickey Avalon

RILEY ST. CLAIR: Mickey Avalon

There are about a million reasons I should not like Mickey Avalon. He is perpetually shirtless, he wears more eyeliner than I do and he has a single called “My Dick.” Oh yeah, and he used to have sex with dudes for money. In spite of the undeniable sleaze-factor, I can’t get his songs out of my head and, well, I rather like him. The embodiment of a rags-to-riches hip-hop fairytale, Avalon has managed to garner the attention of the music press, a bunch of young fans looking to get down and of course,...

How coked out was he when he did this interview? Jesus. Talk about rambling...

Sorry to not read the article, but I just came in to say Jane Fonda is the fifth worst single of the last twelve months.

I seriously had never heard of this guy until last night when I saw an add of him on myspace's main page. I checked it out and noticed it was myspace records that posted the video. Now, I sign on to SG and there he is again...
Someone's forking over big bucks to get this dude some exposure.

I still don't understand why he ever got that spread in BUST's February/March 2007 issue.

I'm a big fan.

you don't even know how much i had to cut out!

*thumbs up* riley

Yeah, reading that made my jaw hurt. Someone needs to slack off the yayo.

Hmm. I talk more than that before I've had my coffee if I'm into the conversation. Would it have been a better interview if he'd been a mute?

Anyway, I first heard him at a small party opening for the Chili Peppers several months ago: he performed there and his CD was in the gift bag, and now it's lodged in my skull. Great shit, that.

Heavy editing aside, this is a swell interview, Riley.

Cheers!

thank you very much!
i hope to be doing more in the future.

he's had quite a life, that one.
he comes across as pretty self-aware, moreso than you might expect.

The first time that I meet his band on the Key Club (on the Plush... 2 years ago) I was thinking to myself... "OK, this dude is really going to make it".

Is not just "be there on the scene"... but don't stop.
He is a good marketing guy. The secret is never stop and play every week if is possible.
He never stop.

ok - i'll keeping it simple

the beats are weak - i have heard better beats on a casio tone
the rhymes are retarded (and not like old school retarded - more like retard retarded - sad!)

is there anything else that matters - next!

Wait, what?

yeah, he used to be a junkie and eventually turned to...well, turning tricks for drug money.

Haha. I liked this article. No idea who this guy is, but I liked this article.

i play jane fonda all the time

Tom and Myspace Records are the "someone".

Are you attempting to force some third-world warlord out of his fortified compound?

Funniest.

Shit.

EVER.

(in this thread, at least.)

Ew....
So glad I've never been high.
