Redbarn Bully Sticks are quality bully stick chews for dogs, produced carefully with high standards.Redbarn bulls are free range and fed a natural, healthy grass diet. In the Redbarn Processing Plant, strict quality control standards are enforced to insure your dog receives a high grade treat that he'll love!
The muscles are slow roasted in their own juices, bringing out all its natural flavoring. While your dog chews, the sticks become chewy which helps clean teeth and provide hours of enjoyment. This chew measures approximately 5" in length.
Monitor your pet while feeding natural treats. This is a consumable, fully digestible treat however, intestinal blockage may occur if ingested in large pieces. Always provide a fresh supply of drinking water for your pet. Feed as a treat.

Great long lasting chew by Nansee from Ontario, Canada12/23/2013
I now have 2 Bichons and a Standard poodle puppy. Bought 3 bully stix a while back and the girls just love them. They chewed their own and then switched ... like having a new chew. Just ordered the box of 50, that should keep them happy for a little while.

I had only given my dog rawhide in the past but decided to give these Bully Sticks a try....glad I did. She went crazy over them!!

Smelly by Shadow from Miami, FL11/21/2013
After reading the reviews i decided to take a chance and order this bully stick. However, you should know that it has a VERY strong smell. So strong that my kitchen and my dog smelled like it for a while. It is not a pleasant smell.

Bully sticks by Barneymc from Ramona, CA06/13/2014
My puppy loves his Bully Sticks. He munches for hours, working out his puppy teeth. An older dog that visited for a few days ate one quickly, but the puppy has been chewing on the same one for a few weeks.
good by pennywise from Hawaii03/23/2014
Keeps smaller dog chewing for a while. Takes a short time for the GSD to chew....however, makes them both happy canines. Also helps with cleaning their teeth. These are special treats given after dinner. A bit expensive.

Great price for a product my dogs love. The 5" size is just right. And they arrived in almost no time.

Dogs love this! by JC from St. Louis, MO08/08/2014
Our dogs love these Bully Sticks and beg for one every night. I like them because it satisfies their need to chew and keeps them occupied for a while. I switched from raw hide to these because raw hide can harm your pet; these do not.
Must have these by captain zap from Seattle, WA01/03/2014
We really like having these, as it keeps our dogs busy chewing for a longer time. The price is about the best I've found out there and they seem to be very good quality!
Little Fellas by Sissy from South Carolina04/17/2013
I ordered these for my daughters 2 puppies because they love them so much. They will chew on one for days and days. I have ordered several times from Entirely Pets, but was a little disturbed by the way my items were packaged this last time. The Bully Sticks, instead of being in a box as shown, and I ordered 50 of them, were just thrown loose in the bottom of the shipping box.

Redbarn 9" Bully sticks by Gabbygirl from California11/29/2013
Our golden & boxer both love these. I have now graduated to a larger 12" size since they go thru the sticks so quickly. I can't keep these away from the. Also, there is really not a bad odor as other bully sticks I've gotten for our two babies. I highly recommend these.
Great Treat by Steph from los angeles, ca05/30/2013
My Boxer loves, loves these bully sticks. She cannot get enough of it. I need to watch her as she chews/gnaws towards the end of the stick because she tends to want to swallow the last inch and a half or so. Also, it also has a distinct smell to it.
One of dogs enjoyments by Dog Daddy from Mesa, AZ07/13/2014
Our cockers enjoy the bully sticks and getting the 9 inch sticks, I split the time of chewing. The 9 inch size is a great size I had been buying the 6 inch and found the 9 inch is also kind of a play toy for them.

Red Barn Bullies are THE BEST! by SallyG from Wisconsin- Go Pack!05/31/2013
I'm so happy to find Entirely Pets and it's a big plus that they carry Red Barn Bully sticks. My dogs really love them and the quality is excellent. You can buy these sticks and know they will be substantial and consistent in thickness. They are safe for your dog and they don't smell horrible like some of the other brands. They don't stain the carpet or furniture either, which is nice. So, order these bully sticks and your dog will love you even more! Oh, BTW, great prices and service here at Entirely Pets!

I have been buying Bullly Sticks from our local pet store, because our Sheltie's love them, but the price at the pet store is pretty high. I started searching on the internet for Redbarn, and found EntirelyPets, and am very glad I found them. I am totally satisfied with the price and service from EntirelyPets, and recommend them highly. I am now looking at other products offered by them.
My dogs love these by AngelaCarol from Pennsville, NJ07/31/2013
My dogs love bully sticks and this was a good price. My only complaint is that they gave me one really big thick one and one small thin one. As I have 2 dogs, this would not work, so I had to go get a hacksaw and cut them in two, so that they each got the same sized bully sticks to check. It wouldn't do for one to last a lot longer than the other.

Red Barn Bully Sticks are the best! They last longer and don't splinter. Our Beau knows exactly what time he is supposed to get his 'Chewey'. It saves us to order more at one time. Our last order was for 35 - 12 in bully sticks. Service was great and we received our order in record time. Thanks for the good service!
Longer Lasting by wolverinekas from Austin, TX03/03/2013
I prefer these bully sticks because they last longer than a lot of other brands. I have three big dogs and it takes them at least a half hour to rip through them. I have had others that only lasted a few minutes.
Loves them by Coqui from Long Island, NY03/16/2014

Great Bully Sticks by Kathy from Tempe, Arizona08/18/2014
Our Beau loves his Bully Sticks and is very vocal about getting his nightly Bully. Red Barn Bullies seem to last the longest . Beau is a big Red Doberman and is 120 lbs. This is the most economical way for us to buy Bullies for him to exercise his need to chew. When I buy them individually I pick out the biggest and thickest as they last longer. Sometimes in the multipack there are too many skinny ones. Thanks

Very Popular by Tripod Mom from Vernon Hills, IL07/06/2013
My dog is a powerful chewer and took this stick down in no time. I am sure it lasts longer for most other dogs.
Dogs love it! by Gina from Baltimore, MD01/11/2014
The Bully Stick is loved by every dog. They spend hours on that stick, chewing and working it; although, it is a stinky item once it is moist. Phew! It smells awful... like bad fish..., but the dogs love it of course, (probably because it stink). You know how dogs are (LOL). Good product to keep them busy while outside on the back porch, patio, or basement. Personally I do not like it anywhere else in the house because it stinks so bad. All in all, still a good chew product for dogs of all kinds.

good for thier teeth and thier health by barneythecorgi from New York, NY07/23/2013
My corgi loves bully sticks - but gobbles them down in less than 20 minutes. For the same price I can get him braided chews which can last for a day and are good for him and his corgi teeth. This also wears him out physically as he likes to "work" his chewies.

Great process and price by Opt to adopt from Portland, Oregon07/21/2013
We had been buying Braided Bully sticks from another website for sometime. The price for the exact same thing was considerably higher, and then prices were raised even more. Shipping from that website was more expensive and sometimes took a week to 2 weeks to get what we ordered. Entirely Pets is considerably less expensive and shipping is very fast, and usually free. We are very glad to have found Entirely Pets and really appreciate the selection, pricing and expedient shipping process.

Red Barn Bully Sticks by WD5002/22/2014
My dogs, one at 60 pounds and the other at 6 pounds, love these bully sticks. I get the braided because they last longer. I usually buy 3 boxes at a time to save on shipping. Unfortunately, this time all 3 boxes had skinny braided sticks and all my previous purchases had mostly fat braided sticks, so these are going much fast the way our 60 pound dog goes at them. I wonder if this is what I should expect going forward and they are boxed that way at the manufacturer or if someone is sorting through the boxes to pull out the fat sticks for individual sale. Either way I feel like I received a lot less for my money this time.

Red Barn + Entirely Pets= Happy Dogs! by SallyG from Wisconsin- Go Pack!05/31/2013
I hit a link and found Entirely Pets by accident and I'm so glad I did! I was so happy that they carry Red Barn products! I buy a lot of bully type chews because I believe these are the safest, digestible chew on the market. I've purchased at least eight different brands from Amazon and the Red Barn bullies are by far the best quality. My Corgi and Labradoodle absolutely LOVE them! . Red Barn chews are always substantial and will occupy my big dog for at least half an hour. If your dog is a less-aggressive chewer, like my Corgi, one of these could easily last several days. Although bully sticks last longer than the springs, my dogs love the funny shape of the springs so I get them to shake things up a bit. Red Barn brand chews don't have the offensive "road-kill odor" like some of the off-brands. This is a plus for owners, especially when the dogs take them on the carpet! I was new to Entirely Pets and found their prices very competitive and the shipping was fast! They have the best prices I have found and the brands I trust. Sorry, Amazon, I will be buying from Entirely Pets again!

success! by meloncollie11/26/2012
The rings worked for keeping my monsters pacified. I have a Pom & a Pom-Terrier mix. The Pom has the unfortunate habit of swallowing bully sticks whole, so the rings did the trick. Kept him busy for hours-yay! Well worth the money, and I will buy on a regular basis.
AWESOME by Calpidu05/04/2014
These bully rings are the great. They are "small" but the perfect size for my 60+lb dogs. They are long lasting due to the shape and how they are connected (baked together, I think) at the seam. You can't beat the entirely pets price either!

My dogs (big and small) both love these bones. They are natural so I feel good about giving them to them. They also don't splinter or fall apart. The dogs love the filling and continue to chew the bone when the filling is gone.
Redbarn Naturals by Pat05/09/2013
These are really big bones and my dog is a ferocious chewer so I thought these would be good for him, but he can't seem to bite them. They are hard and he did enjoy the filling as much as he could get, but then he gave up, so I just gave them to the Humane Society.

Favorite Treat by HS08/28/2013
Talk about a favorite treat for my hellions! They love these!
Yummy Low Calorie Treat by Lowen's Mom from Reading, PA09/10/2013
I was really pleased with this product. My dachshund has a mouth condition called CUPS, Canine Ulcerative Periodental Stomatitis. It is of great importance that his teeth and mouth be kept free of tarter and bacteria. I found this bone to help with the tarter on his teeth without the mess and clumps of rawhide bones. My dachshund is a vigorous chewer and this bone is holding his attention and holding up under his chewing. The treat inside isn't easy to get to so there have been hours of him trying to get to the treat all the while his teeth are getting cleaned on this bone. Will be buying more.
Great natural bone by RileyandJoJo'sMOM11/14/2013
My dogs love this bone! I have a hound mix and a min pin. Both spend hours chewing on the bone and continue to chew it after the filling is gone! The bone doesn't splinter or break apart and keeps the dogs entertained.

very best dog bones anywhere for your babies by aunt charley from Whitney, Texas03/21/2013
I have tried all bones available anywhere. My babies loves these the most. They last forever and the flavors and smells must be addicting. My babies lick and chew on these until they can't lick or chew another time. My babies even take them to bed with them and to every room in the house where they go. As they change rooms and areas, they take their bones with them.

A treat made in the USA by Bruiser's Mom from Maine12/20/2013
My daughter's dog loves these bones and when all the filling is gone, she refills them with peanut butter and freezes them for a long lasting treat.
Dog loves them by Tripod Mom from Vernon Hills, IL06/22/2013
My dog is totally excited when he sees me grab one of these for him. He can devour them pretty quickly. I had ordered the small size and was surprised at the difference in sizes I received. Some of them looked like they belonged in the large size category. Of course the dog had no complaints about the larger ones. I do wish the filling was a little healther for him but as an occasional treat it is not terrible.

Great for chewers by Ocean city girl from Nj07/17/2013
I love these bones. Even when the filling is gone my dog loves to chew them. There is never a worry that the bone will splinter or break. She is a big dog who has chewed through a chain link fence in the past but these bones are indestructible . They help keep her teeth clean which is an added bonus.
Peanut butter filled bones.. great treat by Michelle09/20/2013

My dogs love this and their teeth too! by Donna from Lake Worth, fl01/14/2014
This is a great product. It keeps my dogs happy and their teeth clean. I can refill the inside with goodies after they have cleaned it out. The bone last a long time. They will chew on it and it and it gets smaller then you throw it away. Love it!
Wonderful treat by Michele from Fort Wayne, IN03/31/2013
My dogs love these bones! They are so content to just gnaw on them and clean the peanut butter filling out of the middle. I love the Redbarn Filled Bones because they are an American product and I feel safe giving them to my dogs.

Terrific Snouts by Linda from Springfield IL09/06/2014
Wow. The pork snouts were a huge hit. Not too soft - not too hard - just right for my senior dogs to enjoy. You can't go wrong with these.
Pig snouts by natalie from MN05/16/2013
Our dogs loved these. What a treat for them. They lasted quite a long time too. Well worth the money. I'm planning on buying more. Thanks!

sullivanjo by sullivanjo from CLARKS MILLS PA08/06/2013
I have gotten two orders of redbarn pork snouts. I think they are every bit as good as Merritts pig souts and alot less expensive. Same size and my dog loves them. I received them just soon after I ordered them. I will keep on buying from entirely Pets Good products at a fair price. THANK YOU JO ANN
My Dogs LOVE These!!! by sassy11/12/2013
I was worried when I found out that the Redbarn Pork Snouts were on backorder when I placed my Entirely Pets order. And greatly relieved when they were back in stock in just a short amount of time as each of my dogs just love them. My oldest little girl - 15 yrs - acts like a puppy when she gets one and carries it around with her until it's finished. It does a great job keeping my dog's teeth clean for which I'm grateful.
SNOUTS by CECE from Missouri11/24/2013
Disappointed by Mom2 from Matthews NC04/07/2014
Our dog has loved snouts in the past but for some reason or the would not eat these. Her cousins, who search the house for where she has hid her snacks and will eat anything, turned up their noses and walked away. Not sure what the problem was/is.

A little smaller than expected and the knots on the end were too easy to swallow once they were chewed off. The dogs love the bully sticks, so I'll stick to the regular or curly sticks.

Great buy by Brie from Arlington, VA04/07/2014
My dog is a def bone-chewer. This is her favorite by far! Even though she's chewed on it for hours, she's barely been able to make a mark on the bone. The one draw-back is the size. She's a 38lbs dog and I should have ordered a larger size for her. Wish the dimensions were listed.

Sometimes cats are overweight. This is usually due to their habit of eating, or their strong weakness. Unlike in RealLife, castration (owners often need to encourage neutered toms to exercise and play) is very rarely the cause for this. Fat cats are usually PluckyComicRelief characters, though the occasional fat cat with an important role does come along some times. If there's a CrazyCatLady around who actually hoards cats, expect at least one of them to be obese.
Most of the time, fat cats are not [[CatsAreMean mean]], [[RightHandCat a common pet for villains]], or [[CatsAreSuperior consider themselves to be better than humans]]. Usually, the fat cat is a common domestic cat, but fat cats of any cat species can count.
Often prone to CatUpATree. Most definitely TruthInTelevision. Not to be confused with [[CorruptCorporateExecutive those other kinds]] [[NouveauRiche of fat cat]].

A 4-foot-tall brass statue reported stolen from the Lincoln Children's Museum has been found nearby.
The statue, titled "Glory," was found by a staff member and volunteer in bushes that border the museum and Centennial Mall. Museum officials say they believe it was taken between last Thursday afternoon and early Sunday evening.
The statue is of a boy grasping flags in each hand and was fashioned by artist Jane Rankin. Officials estimated the statue is worth about $7,000 but is considered a "priceless" piece of art by the museum staff.
The statue had been damaged in a previous incident but didn't sustain any new damage during its absence.

Band members April Aliermo and Dan Lee are two-thirds of DAPS, a respected T.O. label that's released Odonis Odonis, Moon King and Hooded Fang side-projects Hut and Phèdre. April, meanwhile, founded a creative playschool (substitute teachers include Maylee Todd and Henri Fabergé) where kids play musical instruments, sometimes on DAPS releases. That sense of community is undetectable on Gravez, a typically self-absorbed record that, like predecessor Tosta Mista, was apparently recorded in the kind of damp garage you'd need "the knack" to open the entrance to. Where Tosta Mista was essentially disposable, Gravez (which clocks in at 30 minutes, seven beyond its predecessor) is disposably essential. There's a vulnerability to broodier songs like "Genes," where you get the sense that the yappiness found elsewhere signals not apathy or spiritual vacancy but desperation to escape a burdened consciousness. With this in mind, the band's distinctive pep becomes peppier somehow, as highlights "Wasteland," "Never Minding" and "Ode to Subterrania" feature trilled vocals and hectic, fidgety guitars to chase away the melancholy. For those under the impression Hooded Fang subscribe to a right-note-right-time, throwaway pop formula, Gravez offers something meatier to chew on.(Daps) GET IT!

I am looking to make a partial mash, 5 gallon batch (3 gallon boil volume) with kind of a bland ale as a base, with steeped ginger and lemon flavors.
What would be a good, neutral ale recipe (I don't have beer smith or other conversion software)?
I would really like to use my wyeast 3726 farmhouse ale (though I won't be fermenting at a high temp)
If am adding lemon rind and ginger, would I do that during the boil or while in fermentation?
I found a cream ale recipe that will work for my brewing set up. I want to add the lemon and ginger flavors, but advice on when I should add the ginger and lemon rind would be helpful.
First of all less is more when it comes to ginger and citrus. If you have not ever brewed with lemon only shave, and I mean shave the yellow off the rind. Do not get any of the white. I have used ginger before. You will be surprised how little you need. If this is a recipe you plan on brewing again I would start out on the light side then add more next time if you need. I add at the end of the boil. You really only need to steep them so after the boil let it set 30 min as you would with 0 min hop addition.
3726 would be great. When anyone brings up this strain they always say it conks out. I dont think this is true. It just takes time to finish. Throw in some wheat malt and give it some nice carbonation to bring out the citrus. Just my $.02. Brew on!
Thank you for the suggestion about the ginger piece; I was planning on using an oz or two of ginger root cut into slices. Think that is too much?
When I made my ginger peach wheat I believe I only used 0.5 to 1.0 oz of ginger per 5 gal batch. Ginger is potent.
Look at some of the recipes here that have ginger or lemon/orange zest. See what was working.

Product: CERA Wireless Portable Speaker Set
Price: $199.99
Rating: Recommend*
Sometimes I get crazy excited about the problem solving promise of a product. This was the case with Tego Audio's CERA wireless portable speaker and specifically, the set of three CERAs which could be daisy chained together to create an entertainment center of sorts. But while the CERA has some obvious upsides, including a 360 degree sound chamber and a simple user interface, it didn't quite live up to my dream.

Drowning in Paper? What to Keep, What to Toss, What to Digitize
Apartment Therapy's Home Remedies
Paper is the bane of my existence — and probably yours, too. In preparing for tax season, I recently digitized a box of old receipts but also ended up clearing out a filing cabinet full of statements, warranties, and other papers that have sat forgotten for years, but looked like they could be important. When it comes to paper clutter, what should you keep and what's safe to toss?
DIY Your Own Perfect Phone: Project Ara
With new phones coming out constantly, but often with only minor changes from one year to the next, smartphones would seem like a great choice to be modular. However, being able to simply snap on a new camera, or a faster chip, seems like an unachievable dream due to the small size of the devices... but is it really all that impossible? Project Ara does not seem to think so.

A professor at the United States Merchant Marine Academy in New York who faced dismissal for joking about the Colorado movie theater shootings has been suspended for 45 days instead.
Gregory F. Sullivan was showing students a documentary when he said: "If someone with orange hair appears in the corner of the room, run for the exit."
Colorado shooting suspect James Holmes has dyed bright orange hair.
The professor had just turned down the lights when he made the remark.
The father of one of his students was among the 12 people killed in the July 20 shooting.
The New York Times reports Long Island school said the decision to suspend Sullivan was made after careful review of all information.
Sullivan has apologized for the remark.

Originally written on 5thRound.com | Last updated 11/17/14
To the surprise of nobody, featherweight Leonard Garcia (pictured) has been released from the UFC. In a somewhat surprising move, Bart Palaszewski has also been issued his walking papers. Both 145-pounders confirmed their unemployment status via Twitter. The UFC does not report fighter firings. However, Garcia and Palaszewski's profiles have been deleted from UFC.com. UFC president Dana White more than insinuated Garcia would be cut after dropping his fifth consecutive scrap in a lopsided unanimous decision defeat to Cody McKenzie at UFC 159. Since taking a highly controversial split decision win over Nam Phan in his UFC debut, "Bad Boy" has been downright bad. The UFC typically severs ties with fighters after embarking on three-fight skids, though given Garcia's gunslinger style, he was granted a reprieve. And then shockingly another one. Garcia owns a 15-11-1 professional record. Palaszewski stakes claim to an extensive 36-17 pro mark. He has lost four of his past five bouts under Zuffa's watch, including his current three-fight skid.

Usher - OMG
Artist: Usher
Featuring: will.i.am
Producer: will.i.am
Album: Raymond vs. Raymond
Avg Rating: 3.5 ( 135 votes )
Before we listen to Usher's new single OMG let's take a moment to recognize that nothing less than the fate of text-related singles hangs in the balance. LOL Smiley Face was a travesty, but Ludacris recently revived the genre with his superb Sexting, so the way I see it, if OMG's a hit it'll inspire a new wave of text-related tracks, and if it flops, that's pretty much the end of that. Personally, I just can't make up my mind. will.i.am's beat (and guest verse) is catchy enough to stick in your head without becoming aggravating, and while this is far from the best use of Usher's vocal talents, at the very least he manages to turn the track into an entertaining musical ride. I'm definitely going to need a second opinion on this one. So Booth, is OMG a hit? Choose wisely, nothing less than the fate of text-related singles rests in your capable hands. OMG is the latest single off Usher's long-awaited Raymond vs. Raymond album, due out March 30.

South African man living in Cumbria wins battle to stay in UK
Last updated at 12:01, Tuesday, 24 June 2014
An English-speaking South African man who was threatened with deportation because officials didn't acknowledge he spoke the language has won his battle to stay in the UK.
Donovan Tapping, from Penrith, has been granted the right to stay in the country after a 13-day "hell" in which he was told he would have to return to his native country – despite having lived in the UK for 10 years.
The Home Office refused 36-year-old Mr Tapping permission to stay in the UK because they said he had not taken an English exam – despite it being his main language.
Donovan, who works at the Frank Bird poultry factory in Langwathby, and his wife Shelley fought to have the decision reversed since hearing the news last month.
Donovan said: "I was ecstatic that my life can get back on track and back to normal. I have now gone back to work and can get on with my life. There was a lot of stress as you didn't know what was going to happen."
Now Donovan, who married Shelley last September, will take part in a citizenship ceremony in the near future to affirm his new status. He also wants to apply for a British passport.
Shelley said: "We couldn't be happier, we can spend our married life together rather than being separated. Now we have so much to look forward to.
"When we got the news there was a whole range of emotions. You didn't know whether to cry or jump for joy, everything was very mixed. We are very relieved and over the moon that he's here to stay."
Shelley hopes that she and her husband never have to go through a similar ordeal again.
"It was hell. The whole thing was so stressful, emotional and we suffered financially because he wasn't able to work. Life was on hold.
"It doesn't feel like it even happened as it was such a blur. I never want to have to go through something like that again, but I would do it in a heartbeat if it meant Donovan could stay here."
The couple feel that they have not only won their own battle, but may have helped improve the situation for other families in a similar position.
Donovan had to fill in a new form for his second application with the misleading questions that caused him problems the first time around removed.
"Hopefully our campaigning over the 13 days has changed it for other families. We wanted to make a difference and make people more aware of the problems. Since we told our story, more and more have been popping up so hopefully we did some good."
The story of Donovan's woes received a mass of support with people clamouring in their hundreds to sign online petitions, back Facebook campaigns and take to the streets to ensure justice was done.
"I can't thank family and friends enough for what they have done. Me and Donovan can never repay for them for their support. The amount of support from people we don't even know has been overwhelming, hopefully we made a difference."
A Home Office spokesman confirmed Donovan had been granted a reprieve.

Music from this release
- Filastine: Colony Collapse [ft. Nova]
Dubstep may have conquered the world, but at what cost? It began as a London-centric exploration of bass, but like most victims of globalization, any local identity has been slowly bled out to make it palatable to a worldwide audience. That focus on visceral and universal low-end thrills may have made for some good dumb pop tunes, but it also strips away the vital stamp that comes from an invested audience with ties to a community. This blanding in the name of branding isn't specific to dubstep, of course. It's just that baile funk and reggaeton and soca and all the other idiosyncratic community-based tweaks to beats-and-bass never impacted heartland America enough to be so ruthlessly exploited. Not that this has stopped many underground beatheads from plundering them, sometimes with honorable intentions and sometimes not.
One thing that makes Filastine's Loot so good is that it presents a vision of worldwide bass culture that acknowledges both the importance of context and the problematic and positive ways global connectivity changes things by bringing far-flung sounds together. It's not an academic record. Filastine understands the visceral impact of this stuff, even as the overall mood of Loot can get pretty laid-back. But it's clear he's thought hard about how to both honor and mutate music that's not necessarily "his." It's the inverse of Diplo's context-free mash of whatever regional sounds have currently caught his ear, those squeaky clean thrill rides around a spotless global amusement park. Loot is more like the everyone's-an-immigrant visions of city life that cyberpunk once presented, outsiders and insiders thrown together, an ongoing experiment in technology and tradition finding new ways to inhabit the same space, glittering and futuristic but with plenty of ineradicable human grit, learning, ingenuity.
Like those polyglot sci-fi visions of culture-mixing, and maybe like the better parts of our own world now, Loot doesn't smooth away those rough and personalized edges from individual cultures into a palatable mush of clichés that'll go down as easy in Dubai as Dubuque. Instead, Filastine revels in the edges, the way some blur together and some never will, as evidence of the jigsaw quality of modern living, urban and otherwise. In any big city, all this stuff does exist in one space, pockets of fierce traditionalism and a technology-enabled feeling of placelessness, different worlds webbed together as much by wires as one-on-one interaction.
Loot also feels like the work of someone who's actually traveled to, rather than simply dropped in and downloaded from, what writer/musician Matt "Woebot" Ingram has called the "shanty house" circuit, groups of producers and players far outside of the Western entertainment industry, who mix the traditional sounds of their region with the seemingly post-geographic dance sounds that swept the planet after rave and hip-hop culture went viral. One tune here is a mix of wildly shuffling electronic rhythms that you can't peg to one location and (possibly) processed brass instruments that sound as much like mournful Ethiopian jazz as the nagging synth-oompah hooks from reggaeton. Filastine calls it "Shanty Tones", with what you have to assume is equal parts respect and knowing cheekiness. Because like Filastine, those "shanty house" artists share both an intense interest in localism and the same access to worldwide grooves we all enjoy through our very telephones these days.
And so while you can hardly call Loot a dubstep record, it plays throughout with dubstep's form and sonics, whether it's "Colony Collapse" looking back to the grim caverns of bass of the original Forward>> crew or "Skirmish" losing itself in the current vogue for video game madness. It's also not a "Jamaican record" or a "Middle Eastern record" or a "Latin American record," though it bears influences from visits to (or infatuations with) sounds from those wildly varied and impossible-to-sum-up regions. Filastine knows the long, sad string melody on "Sidi Bouzid" is beautiful enough to be played straight, as tribute to the country where he first heard such music or homage to those who taught it to him. But maybe that would simply be flexing his learning, rather than staying true to Loot's overall project. So soon enough he introduces a gurgling, lurching computer groove into this analog and ancient-sounding tune, and it's the third invented world he creates out of these two distinct sounds that takes "Sidi Bouzid" somewhere unexpected, and maybe more gripping than either would have been on their own.
Filastine has clearly taken the time to learn what makes his sources tick rather than slapping awkward "ethnic" samples over bought-by-the-yard grooves. But he's never so reverent that he refuses to inject any of his own personality into the mix, which I take to be a drummer's a sensitivity to making looped rhythms dance in off-kilter ways, the mark of someone who knows his way around a physical kit but also grew up in a world reshaped by rap, dancehall, et al. Maybe I'm wrong to single out one element of this equally borrowed and invented brew as the "personal" one, but there's a recurring hip-hop bump that acts as anchor on Loot, one that lopes more like Jay Dee than baps like NYC. It's a beat that might be the audible American contribution to this cross-cultural mix-and-mash.
But it's still the mix, rather than the personal stamp, that drives Loot. It's a mix that's political in the low-key and non-dogmatic way of someone open to new experience in a world ever-hostile to difference. Someone less interested in colonizing "exotic" sounds for profit as simply sharing what's moved him, making no claims of ownership on a unique culture while acknowledging that in 2012 everyone has the opportunity to draw on sounds from just about every corner of the planet. Everything is jumbled into a glorious whole that somehow finds room for parts that were never designed to fit together. And if these dozens of inputs seem both disorienting and natural when they come together, it might just be that, in Loot's vision of the world, where international connection is not just possible but impossible to ignore, all this musical information crush feels hospitable rather than chaotic because that's just how we live now.
