The Good Times answers the question, “Is it possible to get high after listening to a CD?” with a deep “Yep” and a long exhale of putrid marijuana smoke. While his music has been downloaded off the Internet by fellow rappers and po the ads since January, Aug. 28 marked the release of The Good Times. The first single, “Because 1 Got High” is also featured on the Jay and Silent Boh Strike Back Soundtrack and is the #1 most requested song at top radio sta tions in New York. Los Angeles. Denver and Norfolk. The album was created in three weeks, with Afroman. aka Joseph Foreman, singing, playing and co-producing with Tim Ramenofsky. This Mississippi native began rapping at eight and sold his tapes among his friends in school. He eventually was kicked out of jun ior high after selling a rap song Ik* wrote about one of his teachers and her small breasts. Afroman’s raps can be consid ered more upbeat than thuggish and are accompanied by music that sounds like beats taken One plea s.mt aspect 1 straight out of children’s songs. album is die sound of ab 1 This album, however is ntrth- cun s, getting hreh and • ing listeners would put thetr kid messing aro und wiih rear brothers or sisters to bed with. equipment the\ were speci.

The Jay and Silent Boh Strike Back Soundtrack is an enhanced CD that includes trailers of all director Kevin Smith's funniest films, such as Clerks, Mallrats and Chasing Amy, as well as clips from his current film. The CD contains 27 tracks, 13 of which are short clips of Jay and Silent Bob’s funniest moments. The first song on the soundtrack. Stroke 9\s “Kick Some Ass,” has the same drive as their first hit, “Little Black Backpack.” Dave Pirner follows with “Tube of Wonderf ul." which gives listeners an image of Jay and Silent Bob sitting cross-legged meditating or taking hits off a bong. Newcomer Mini bar provides a coffeehouse rock-like track to the soundtrack with smooth vocals in “Choked Up." Adding a song that has been a classic since 1968 is never a bad idea, especially if it is Steppenwolf's "Magic Carpet Ride." Bon Jovi’s “Bad Medicine” from 1988 sounds identical to the band’s 1980s rock anthems. "This is Love” from PJ Harvey’s latest album Stories from the City. Stories from the Sea has questionable lyrics like “I can’t believe life’s so complex, when I just want to sit here and watch you undress." However, PJ Harvey can get away with it.
