It was my paint now its "his" paint.

It's a tough day when you get "D-Bo'ed" by your own son.

Last Resort

My buddy Jaime hipped me to Last Resort a while ago and I've had this cd in my car ever since. My knowledge of Oi! is pretty limited, but the subculture has been something I've been reading about in my free time for the last few years mainly due to its parallels with reggae and the fact that the originators of the Oi and Skinhead youth movements were some of the first groups to embrace reggae and immigrant Jamaicans in the UK.



Wikipedia defines: Oi!

"The general ideology of the original Oi! movement was a rough sort of quasi-socialist working class populism. Lyrical topics included unemployment, workers' rights, harassment by police and other authorities, and oppression by the government. Oi! songs also covered less-political topics such as street violence, football, sex and alcohol. Although Oi! has come to be considered mainly a skinhead-oriented genre, the first Oi! bands were mostly comprised of punk rockers and people who fit neither the skinhead nor punk label."

All that being said just download the record even if you're not a fan of oi or street punk and see if you like it.

Frightening Coffin

Flying Coffin doesn't really need the press at this point, but I have to tip my hat once again to Jason and FC for this sneaky little tee and hat set that just popped up.

Last year I posted up the Halloween tee they did and now FC has decided to make it an annual tradition and has even raised the bar with a New Era no less.

I am going to predict a one day sell out on this one so get your mouse and alarm clock ready for Oct 1st when these both go on sale on the site and at other fine retailers.

News of The Weird

"The Nebraska legislature's new "safe haven" law for unwanted babies, like other states' laws, allows them to be dropped off anonymously at hospitals to discourage abortions (and neglect by unfit parents). However, unlike other states' laws, Nebraska's applies not just to infants, but "minors," because, said Sen. Tom White, "All children deserve our protection." In September, the first two non-infants were abandoned, as exasperated parents gave up on rebellious sons aged 11 and 15, and critics say the law could apply to those up to age 19." [Lincoln Journal Star, 9-15-08]

Ed* The moral here kids is that if you're acting up and don't want to get with the program you will get your ass dropped off at the hospital no questions asked style.


P.S My friend Angela actually knows the red-haired kid from "Problem Child" and says dude has a pony tail with shaved sides and has a wicked sword collection. Real talk.

Superjail!

Just when you thought Aqua Teen, Venture Bros, and Metalocalypse were the best shows on Adult Swim along comes Superjail!.

This show will ruin anything you currently watch as far as cartoons go. The best way I can describe it is to imagine smoking dust while taking shots of Nyquil and listening to Slayer.

I am officially going on record here and saying this will be the best show of the year.

Peep it while it is still up for view.

They lifted the idea from someone else apparently, but it's still amazing.

Another one of my all time favorite album covers. Read the little phrases.



This looks like a high school senior year photo from Selassie High.



Right?

Ante Up

"Ante Up" as dictated by Lil Fame


"Take minks off! Take things off!
Take chains off! Take rings off!
Bracelets is yapped, Fame came off!
(Ante Up!) Everything off!
Fool what you want? We stiflin them fools
Fool what you want? Your life or your jewels?
The rules, (back em down) next thing, (clap em down)
Respect mine we Brooklyn bound, (bound! now, (now!)"

Tee Eye

The rap game is sort of redeeming itself lately for me. For a while I was seeking out 80's hardcore albums and hard to find 80's dancehall singles because I was so bored of rap.

People are beginning to make actual albums worth listening to again and on a major level no less.

First the Jeezy album came out (download it if you have your doubts) and now T.I drops "Paper Trail" and it is just as good maybe even a bit better.

This one plays more like "King" than anything else and I think that is good thing. He mixes in the heaters, singles, and "emotional thug" type songs through out and it makes it feel like an actual album versus just a collection of radio singles.

One listen to "Swagga Like Us" featuring Jay-Z, Kanye West, and Weezy will shut up any bitter hip-hop fan, period.

Get it before big brother pulls the link.

Bat Eating Frog

Monday morning is already off to a good start. I get a photo everyday from National Geographic in my inbox and they usually are of the generic feel goodery type, but then this little slice of heaven showed up this morning.

Estevan Oriol

I don't care what the Pubs says the chicks in Estevan Oriol's photos give me a boner.

I will not hear otherwise.
