Nerd.



Get awesome.



Seattle style.



This is pretty funny if you think about it. It was simply titled: Candy Trap. This dude bought a Green Beret camo suit so he could scare the living sh*t out of kids. Imagine getting all nervous cause you're about to ring the door bell and the bushes just reach out and grab your ass. So good.

Someone asked me to post my favorite dub album. Granted I can't say that I listen to copious amounts of dub. I prefer dub versions that still use the vocals versus just straight instrumental only dub. It makes the song have that haunting vibe when they delay the vocal parts of the tune.

Also if you listen to a lot of dub you'll notice that sometimes you can hear a really low level track of vocals in the background. Now if you're hitting the chalice too much you might just think you're hearing things, but I think it is actually due to the fact that most Jamaican studios had only 4 tracks to mix with so if you were trying to use just the bass or drums track you could still hear the singer in the background because they were limited on the number of tracks.

Yeah, I'm that much of f*cking reggae nerd. Sad.

Now this pick may seem like a cop out because it's a no brainer for a dub album, but I think it's because it is simply just so good.

Enjoy.

JCVD



I'm am going to put you up on some movie shit right here.

JCVD who I practically thought was God incarnate when I was younger who in reality is a 47 year old washed up action hero slash coke head finally plays himself in a film that in a very clever way both validates how far he's fallen while simultaneously having you cheer for him and view him in a whole new light.

Keep in mind I haven't seen this movie yet, but I'll bet dollars to donuts that this flick is going to be good.

Metallica "Kill 'Em All"



As Hallow's Eve approaches us I thought I'd keep with the metal thing and post up some more face melting shit.

This album dropped when I was all of 3 years old. My older sister probably had it as she had all things metal. My first tape purchased was Guns N' Roses "Appetite For Destruction" mainly because of her influence over my tastes at the time.



This little gem was just a bonus image I found while searching for the album cover. Nice.


This is a pretty rad story about the original title and art work for what would become "Kill 'Em All."

Taken from Wikipedia:
The band initially planned to title the album Metal Up Your Ass, and it would boast a cover featuring a toilet bowl with a hand clutching a dagger emerging from it. However, Megaforce urged them to change it and they agreed, switching to Kill 'Em All. This time the cover featured the shadow of a hand letting go of a bloodied hammer. Cliff Burton is credited with coming up with the name Kill 'Em All (referring to timid record distributors) as a response to the whole situation.



This was the original title and cover that the band submitted.

Amon Amarth



I don't know my dick from my hand when it comes to death metal. I am out of my element as Walter Sobchak would put it.

To be technical they are considered a "melodic death metal" group.

So I will save the b.s for another day.

Here's what I like about this record.

- the cover
- the fact that the band's name translates to "Mt. Doom" a la J.R.R Tolkien's L.O.T.R
- they talk about viking stuff
- it wails ass

That is pretty much all I need.


Track Listing:

1. "Twilight of the Thunder God" (feat. Roope Latvala) − 4:08
2. "Free Will Sacrifice" − 4:08
3. "Guardians of Asgaard" (feat. Lars Göran Petrov) − 4:23
4. "Where Is Your God?" − 3:11
5. "Varyags of Miklagaard" − 4:18
6. "Tattered Banners and Bloody Flags" − 4:30
7. "No Fear for the Setting Sun" − 3:54
8. "The Hero" − 4:04
9. "Live for the Kill" (feat. Apocalyptica) − 4:11
10. "Embrace the Endless Ocean" − 6:44

Bouncing to SD for the weekend to link up with the posse.

Expect a photo splurge of the purest of the pure.

Here is my vacation soundtrack:

Goods Fall/Winter Collection 08



Gotta love look books.

I think when you're friends with the "models" it is harder to take it serious. But thank goodness Goods knows how to design the basics better than most brands.

Well done gents.

Augor MSK "Billboard Liberation Artist"




Interesting video piece on graffiti artist Augor MSK and how companies erect illegal billboards with little to no consequence.

Barrington Levy "Shaolin Temple"



I think I posted up "Moonlight Lover" waaaayy back when which pretty much covers most of these tracks, but this is one of those albums that I rarely tire of.

To my knowledge Henry "Junjo" Lawes was apprenticing under Linval Thompson and started recording a string of Barrington Levy (who was about 15 years old mind you) 45's which would ultimately become "Shaolin Temple". Barrington would go on be one of the biggest names in the dance.

Enjoy.


Track Listing:

Wedding Ring
Moonlight Lover
Bounty Hunter
Skylarking
It’s Not Easy
Looking My Love
Shine Eye Girl
Shaolin Temple
Reggae Music
Collie Weed
Stray Away Girl (Extended Version) *


* I cut the last 3 tunes cause they were just versions and would make it twice as long to download.
