Josh Martinez

Josh Martinez is back from a long, strange trip with Blotto,  his full-length follow up to the underground classic World Famous Sex Buffet. In typical Martinez fashion the album is everything you love and but could never expect.  

Blotto picks up right where any good Sex Buffet would end up: overstimulated, lonely and unsatisfied. Blotto is the heartbreak that leads you through years on a blackout bender. Its  the journey through the fire, the ashes and ghosts of the dream.

The only cure for this bitter hurt is to get as far away as possible from everything you know. Martinez left his home in Canada, on a quest for opportunity, a clean slate and the pursuit of the American Dream. He landed in the endless gray of the Pacific Northwest, starting over with nothing but a penchant for self-destruction and a handful of friends and enemies.

A workaholic in pain, he threw himself fully into the grind. Endless tour schedules on his own and with The Chicharones. Months packed away in studio sessions, multiple album campaigns, building and managing the roster of Camobear Records, navigating deals, broken promises and pivotal relationships lost in the wake. Blotto.

The Josh Martinez you know is a memory, a polaroid in some faded family album. He’s lost his appetite for the buffet, jaded on midriffs and princesses. The man has journeyed through his own deep abyss and returned with vengeful fervor. He’s back to let you know about the journey, the madness, and the sense of humor he found in the deep pit of his own redemption.

Co-produced by legendary director and producer, Stuey Kubrick, and songwriting savant, Sapient, Blotto features guest appearances from Ceschi, Stevie Ross, Sapient and Evil Ebenezer.

Sex Tips – Just the Tip
Juice up ladies, its 2011. We’re talking about wet mouths and satisfied libidos here. I know not many ladies consider the importance of a solid juicing pre-coitus. But the consequences of this failure to get the juice into your life pre-poke, is dry mouths, chafing and furry teeth. I’m talking about putting that dodgy 7/11 hotdog in the old whisker box. I’m talking growlers and slider fish; we’re talking meatball sandwiches and squished mittens here. Its trouser snakes and ham wallets, my peoples. It ain’t Kosher, it ain’t Christmas, and it ain’t free. To quote TLC, I’m talking bout Sex baby.

Martinez – Historian
By training, I’m a Historian. And I do a lot of sex, so I’m the real deal when it comes to being about sex. I’m an expert and let’s leave it at that. Lets look beyond the mere pushing and thrusting and violations that are occurring on the regular in our modern world. Its Valentines Day, peoples. It’s a holiday. So lets get the skinny on where Valentines Day comes from.

Valentine’s Day – The Facts
Before there were cupids and hearts, there were bows & arrows and Harpies & locusts & Jews and Hippies. It was 19 odd 6, and the people were a feared. A plague of lascivious harpies with large breasts, flaxen hair and the power of fire, had provoked unrestrained lust and mass degradation, not to mention fires, in many cities in Greece. No one could get to work, or focus on their daily lives. Burnt naked savages made love in the open fields, while the animals watched and were ashamed.

Flagon Zee Dutch
When St Valentine (aka Valentino the Greasy) came along on a camel from France, he was caked in sweat, with bloody feet and a surly countenance. His first order of business was to quaff his rapacious thirst with a flagon of the coldest ales. At a near-empty local alehouse, the tired lad threw down the gauntlet. “Give me your finest Grog,” he cried. Six Golden Cold ones later, The Valentino was all kinds of fired up. He hit the streets like a bat out of Ozzy’s mouth, chewed up and wet. His quiver of arrows was topped up, and his bowstring was strung taught. It was time to lick a couple of bumba-shots at these Harpy bumba-clots.

Blazing Breezies
Valentino came upon a pack of the Flying Floozies, gossiping and smoking and tormenting the local men. With a steady drunken hand, Big Valiant knocked an arrow, and slayed the Breezies, one at a time, until he blew all these bitches back to Kingdom Come. When the Harpies died, they left behind the treasure they had stolen from the vulnerable Greeks: Chocolates, Roses, iPads, Tickets to the Ballet and very large teddy Bears. Valentino rounded up this hoarded treasure and delivered it to the grateful Greeks, who put him on their collective shoulders and carried him to the Acropolis where we was made to have sex with a Lion, a Tiger and a Bear…Oh my.

Valentino – Traditionalist
Needless to day St Val was torn to bits, and his body parts buried in a heaving pile of maggots and horse dung. The recently freed townspeople were so grateful that they named a Holiday after Valentino. Valentines Day was a day to celebrate the death of the Harpies by giving loving gifts to your special someone. Those who forgot about the Harpies were left to ponder why anyone would care about another person enough to give them an iPad, and were happier for having kept the gifts themselves. The lesson here is that you shouldn’t help anyone slay their beasts, as it’s a cold cruel world and your more likely to end up lonely, drunk and torn to bits by lions, instead of finding true love.

I’m just a historian, and these are the facts.

Whats in a sandwich? Everyone knows that I still steal cheese. I’m not Sorry. Its something we all have to live with. What’s in a sandwich is not just about ingredients or even about what room you leave the sandwich in when you’re done eating a couple of bites of it and want to watch sports in the other room. It’s about a feeling between you and a solid lineup of condiments and spreads, handsome meats, fresh veggies and strong cheeses (I can’t stress enough about needingmultiple cheeses per sandwich and experimenting with the interplaying cheeses: think Cambozola and Melted Mozzarella or a smoked cheese and a brie) and some bread thats gonna be man enough to take on the juicy heat of a Pastrami Reuben, but not log you down for your dance recital.

I’m gonna hip you to a couple of sandwich tricks i messes with to get you up to Sammy Speed.

#1. Every sandwich can serve as a alt-vessel for food destined for the landfill. Waste not, want not. You got last nights stir-fry and a bagel? Slit the jew toast down the middle and pour the stir fry on your two open faced bagel baskets, cover in cheeses (multiple), little bit of Sri Racha sauce, and hit the pound sign on your telephone for 2 minutes. Hot as it gets and your good to go.

#2. Call up Drizzy. If he’s not at home, search the fridge for something ‘Drizzy’. I usually go with a blue cheese/pecan spread from Trader Joe’s, get some man lettuce (kale, spinach), some strong meats (Bourbon Chicken, Country Roast beef) andslap your cat for not being more helpful. From here, you pour yourself a nice tall glass of Rose, light some candles and Take Care. That sandwich is now a pussy magnet.

#3. This tip is the top tip of them all, and should be done first to avoid needing the other tips entirely. Just the tip? Yes. This comes from the bowels of the Camobear Offices, and its more of a lifestyle choice than a sandwich tip, but the advice to me was Fuck Firstthen have your Girl make you a sandwich. Whatever she makes is just better, because you just got laid, and your soooooo hungry. Plus she smells of flowers and woman musk and you will be doing her a favor as she loves to be productive right after a round of O’s.

Good luck on your Sandwich Times!
