A2G: Can you tell us a few of your heroes and influences?
When you walk through the mean streets of New York, perhaps you’ve seen some glamorous street art on your travels. Faces from an era gone by line the streets, but who do those faces belong to? What do the letters next to the faces mean? OCMC is short for Oh Captain My Captain. As you read on, find out more about OCMC. Oh yeah!

According2G: Tell us about your background. How long have you been doing street art? How did you get started?
Oh Captain My Captain: I’ve been doing street art for a few years now. Basically, most of my free time was spent skateboarding bowls/pools. I had a bad accident falling in a bowl which left me with a brain injury and some lost memory. Doctors told me I couldn’t skate for 6 months, as no one knew if I were to fall how it would affect my memory at that point. I always liked pop art so while I was recouping I started getting more into it. I couldn’t afford to buy it but thought I would just make my own. I loved Warhol and I wound up learning to silkscreen from one of Andy’s silkscreen printers. Then I was off and running…
The streets of Los Angeles have never been the same since Bankrupt Slut emerged on the scene. Stickers and wheat-pastes in all sizes, shapes and colors are everywhere! Bankrupt Slut is making an ambitious leap from the streets to the stage with a kick-ass rock album that’s not for you – it’s for your daughter. Bankrupt Slut’s debut album “Too Slutty For Love” is out now and you’re going to love this collection of rock songs whose subject matter ranges from sex to suicide and of course – graffiti! This album is surely to be the sexiest record on the streets, so get ready to rock out with your cock out – BS style.
Their debut video for “Boom (MF)” was just released and you can see it by clicking play.
Below see my commentary on each track as I listen to the record for the first time.
“Fuck Your Face” – The album starts off with a rocker! The song talks about – well, it’s pretty obvious from the title. Favorite lyric “I know what to do. I’m gonna fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck you!” I cannot wait to sing this aloud as I walk down the streets of New York! The album is officially worth it, just for that, according2g.
“Graffiti (Saved My Life)” – Kicking off with the sound of a spray paint can, this rockin’ song features the trademark catch phrase of Bankrupt Slut, “Get up, stay up.” The song deals with some of the reasons to do graffiti – whether for sport or just to see your name way up. You won’t find me arguing with that logic.
“All the Girls” – This is a fun party song that is about Bankrupt Slut’s love of girls. They love girls of all nationalities, shapes, sizes and fetishes.
“Even Fat People (Fall in Love)” – This song slows things down a little bit. The verses are stories of fat people falling in love. Favorite lyric – “The bigger the cushion, the better the pushin’.”
“Boom (MF)” – Featuring rapped lyrics, the chorus “Boom motherfucker, that had to hurt” is a medium paced rocker that is sure to be a crowd pleaser.
“Panty Dropper” – A catchy track that has lyrics like “put your panties to your knees because I aim to please.” There’s a guest rap vocal Trisha Rey, who asserts “I put the ‘screw’ in ‘screw me.’”
“Dancin on My Sk8board” – A slower rock track that is all about having fun and having no cares in the world, especially when dancing on your sk8board.
“Friend Just Means (Ain’t Fucked You Over Yet)” – This song is a mid-tempo rocker about a narc who sold his friends out. It’s an anthem for all of us who thought we could trust certain people only to find out they didn’t have our backs at all.
“Scars” – Don’t be fooled in thinking this record is all about girls, drugs, graffiti and sex. This song is about surviving a suicide attempt and having the scars to prove it.
“Just A Friend (Blah Blah Blah)” a loose rock cover of Biz Markie’s 1990’s rap classic “Just A Friend.”
“Best Things in Life” – A slower rock track that is about enjoying the sun and appreciating the best things in life – which are free.
“Princess” – An acoustic track presumably, a love song dedicated to the love of Bankrupt Slut’s life.
“Fingers Through Your Hair” – The album closes with another acoustic track. This song is a contemplative track about missing opportunities.
The album is available exclusively for only $10 (plus shipping) on Melrose and Fairfax’ official webstore. This is an album you need to have and that’s no BS!
Desire Obtain Cherish "I Can't Wait" acyrlic on printed canvas
One of the things that turns me on about street art is the skill it takes to paint the town red (sometimes literally) while the rest of the world is sleeping. Another thing that I enjoy are the clever jabs at society that street artists take in hopes of bringing social awareness to new levels. It’s very rare to sucessfully pull off these two things, but Los Angeles based street artist Desire Obtain Cherish not only does it but is at the top of the street art movement as a result of his great art. Like any masterful artist, DOC does not just do one thing. He’s also involved in a dubstep project called Obtain. You can hear some of his music and even download some free tracks too! Desire Obtain Cherish’s first solo show is showing at Lab Art in Los Angeles (through September 14, 2011), so do not miss it under any circumstance. Desire Obtain Cherish was kind enough to answer a few questions for all of us and without any further delay, the DOC is in!

According2G: How did you get involved with street art?
Desire Obtain Cherish: A street artist named BAMP asked me to go out pasting with him one night. I was deep into making music at the time and thought, sure I’ll go paste some stuff to support my dubstep project called OBTAIN. I had been toying with DESIRE OBTAIN CHERISH for sometime. Mainly thinking about the ridiculous nature of our society and how we consume.
Desire Obtain Cherish 'Type 2', edition of 3, syringes filled with acrylic, in plastic tray, framed.
A2G: Where did the name Desire Obtain Cherish come from?
DOC: The 3 words together derived from what I consider to be our natural cycle of self will. Originally it was Desire Obtain Covet. But I felt no one would understand the word ‘Covet,’ so I kept it simple. We Desire. We Obtain. We Cherish. Very often we Destroy. Only to start it all over again. The word Destroy seemed a bit negative, so I left it with Desire Obtain Cherish.
