Phunk Junkeez
The Phunk Junkeez are an American rap rock band from Phoenix, Arizona that formed in 1991 and have established a strong underground following. The band has toured the U.S. extensively, even making it as far as Japan.
The band plays music fusing a number of different styles, from hardcore punk to trip hop.
Eventually, the band was signed to Trauma Records/Interscope Records and have released six albums over the last 23 years.
The band has had member changes over its 24 years, especially on guitar, but three original members still make up part of the band to this day: Soulman (singer), Jumbo Jim (bass) and DJ Roach (singer and DJ).
History
The Phunk Junkeez founders, Kirk Reznik (a.k.a. "K-Tel Disco") and Joe Valiente ("Soulman"), started performing to prerecorded beats under the name "White Boy Rap," a name Soulman used for solo performances. Later, they performed as an opening act for such artists as MC Hammer and Run-D.M.C. That project turned into "BumRap" in 1987, followed by the "Phunk Junkeez" in 1990. In 1991 the two rappers, Reznik and Valente, joined forces with "Last Laugh" members Todd Mahoney on guitar and Jeff Holmes on bass (Holmes stayed on until 1994 as a production/tour manager). Soon after, Kirk & Joe merged with a local band, "Freak Squad," and later that year brought in DJ Roach Clip from their rap days. The band members included Jumbo Jim (bassist), Mike Kramer (guitarist), and Disco Danny Dynamite (a.k.a. Disco Danny D, Disco Dan, DK Mueller) on drums. The Phunk Junkeez were a massively popular act in the Valley throughout the early 1990s, playing huge, illegal warehouse keggers and routinely drawing more than 1,000 fans into clubs. DJs Soulman and Roach Clip are both natives of Alaska and grew up in the same trailer park, although never met until both had grown up and moved to Arizona.

Stereo (MGK song)
"Stereo" is a song by American hip hop recording artist MGK. The song was released on September 20, 2012 with an accompanying music video, and serves as the first promotional single from his debut studio album Lace Up. The single features vocals from Alex Fitts of The Kickdrums and was produced by Alex Kickdrum.
Background
"Stereo" is one of MGK's older songs, being previously featured on his 2010 mixtape: Lace Up!. It was released on September 20, 2012 with an accompanying music video, on his Vevo account. On his Twitter account, MGK stated that the music video was shot and finished over a year before it was officially released but wanted to wait for his upcoming album's release date to be closer. The track is featured on Lace Up - The Prelude, an EP released exclusively for Sony's Music Unlimited service. Lace Up - The Prelude was released on October 2, 2012.
Music video
The video was released through MGK's Vevo account to YouTube on September 20, 2012, and features a cameo appearance from Alex Fitts. The video, switches between MGK either riding in a custom painted tourbus also occupied by what appears to be prostitutes, or with a girlfriend whose father dislikes him, or rapping in an empty room. The second scenario portrays the songs lyrics; MGK is deeply in love with a girl but her father, a police officer, dislikes him and will go to great lengths to keep them apart. While the first scenario displays shots of MGK running from the police or him and Alex Fitts in the tourbus with all the other girls. The third scenario is shown after MGK is chased away by the police. The first and second scenarios eventually coincide with one another at the end of the video.
Stereo (1969 film)
Stereo is a 1969 Canadian film written, shot, edited and directed by David Cronenberg. It stars Ronald Mlodzik, who also appears in Cronenberg's Crimes of the Future, Shivers and Rabid. It was Cronenberg's first feature-length effort, following his two short films, Transfer and From the Drain. It is a brief feature film, with a running time of a little over one hour. This film is set in 1969.
The film has a 60% 'fresh' rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Summary
The film purports to be part of a "mosaic" of educational resources by the Canadian Academy of Erotic Enquiry. It documents an experiment by the unseen Dr. Luther Stringfellow. A young man (Ronald Mlodzik) in a black cloak is seen arriving at the Academy, where he joins a group of young volunteers who are being endowed with telepathic abilities which they are encouraged to develop through sexual exploration. It is hoped that telepathic groups, bonded in polymorphous sexual relationships, will form a socially stabilising replacement for the "obsolescent family unit". One girl develops a secondary personality in order to cope with her new state of consciousness, which gradually ousts her original personality. As the volunteers' abilities develop, the experimenters find themselves increasingly unable to control the progress of the experiment. They decide to separate the telepaths, which results in two suicides. The final sequence shows the young woman who developed an extra personality wearing the black cloak.
Stereo (Christie Front Drive album)

Hazee
by: Phunk Junkeezthat my grip is slippin' diggin' me in a hole
It's gettin' deeper, over my head, it's overflowin'
and like that river denial it keeps going
On and on for days and days,
spinning like the wheels of a funky DJ,
round and round front to the back
I'm slippin' and trippin' on a diggem smack
High as a kite but don't fly right
I'm gonna sleep all day and stay up all night
I never brag on my bag because that would be
bragadocious
Hazee...I'm seeing yellow
Lazy...I'm feeling mellow
Crazy...Which way will I go
Maybe...I'll kick tomorrow
War on drugs that talk bugs me
I like to get high while my girl hugs me
I'm sittin' in my studio hurtin' no one
when this man comes to my door with a gun
Sayin "Son, you better come with me and pee in a cup
and shut the fuck up or I'll take away your free
Hey don't you geel dumb, here I come with my gun
saying boy you better run"
Hazee...I'm seeing yellow
Lazy...I'm feeling mellow
Crazy...Which way will I go
Maybe...I'll kick tomorrow
I'm feeling psychodelic off the hallucinogenics
After this, I'm gonna have to check myself into a
clinic
for a check up from the neck up
and get a catscan 24/7, I'm always wondering who I am
It goes loop de loop round and round
it goes up and then it comes back down
I'll catch you on the flipside, I hope I don't flop
I got a one-way ticket non-stop
I'll take the cab to the rehab for a 12-step program
They can tell me who I am
Hello my name is Joe and I'm addicted
I mention, I'm mentally sick...
Hazee...I'm seeing yellow
Lazy...I'm feeling mellow
Crazy...Which way will I go
