These guys rule! i love the schtick with the black and white spider man masks, i love how they are bustin out behind the decks, i love how the crowd is going bananas. Bangers thats where its at. Not sure whats up with the shirtless brohaims in the begining but it is a roomfull of germans losing their minds:)

Swing Kids
God i love these guys and always have. JP looks so young in this video:) not that he has aged horribly or anything it just sort of reminds me of how this video is getting older and older. and how this seemed like a liftime ago and what was going on then. nostalgia of sorts. My favorite song too,disease, i love the disjointed free jazz at the begining and how it tightens up and then they just rage through the rest. plus the dude in the front freaking out is a plus, all other non-freakers were crossing their arms real hard i assure you.
new flavor
So lately im becoming ever more mindful of my obsession with this electro/dance banger music. I really like it ive been listening to this style of music lately non stop. Columbus needs more bangers, i think thats where things need to move too. the decision to spin more early 90's pop rap and british garage is solid. but i think next up should be this aggressive stuff. more bloody beetroots posts for sure here soon. this song is sweet and the video is cool sans cheese font and video stylizations. Aoki is the man

WK Interact
This guys is ill. He is from a small town in the south of france and moved to NYC about 15 years ago and stuck to his graf roots. Totally innovative, capturing motion and movement and interacting with the streets. He is on the cover of this months Juxtapoz with some new sculptures that are very progressive in his own style.
Daddy?
Novel idea right green tea energy drink, all the goodness of green tea but with kick. Ups to lil ms.poopvacuum for this goodie. It tasted like fizzy green tea, woke me up. I think they cut corners by using powdered green tea because it left a residue in my glass. I dont see the correlation with the daddy thing and the green tea thing. The can is a bit confusing, albeit entertaining though. Green color , stars, some graffiti lettering on it and a lion from zion at the bottom. Almost like a nod to the rastas....ahhh i get it, green tea, green can, rastas. All hail Haile Selassie Jah Rastafari.
Sinkane
This is my buddy ahmed, hes a great guy and a hard worker. i met him at the high five we both bartended there. we had some great chats about music etc. he then went on to put out a great album called "color voice" under the moniker "Sinkane" which was an ambient etheral masterpiece and in my opinion the best album of '07. he is putting out another album soon and is getting some good press, he was in spin and this link is to an interview on daytrotter
http://daytrotter.com/lassoed/1486/sinkane-gets-lassod
currently he is on tour with 'of montreal' another great band and he is doing great. im proud of this guy, he is making it happen:)
also he was on letterman recently with "of montreal", great song as well
b:oost
ups to my friend JD for bringing this bad boy back from mexico. its only a 6 ounce can but it was tasty and it woke me up a bit in my cube. i think its designed for kids i.e. smaller hands smaller can. brilliant.
MY SIS
So im so friggin proud of my lil sis. we are best friends and she is a great artist in life and on canvass. she teaches the young about life and how to contribute. and she paints beautiful art that makes me happy and proud to be related to this woman.
peep out the pic, she evolves constantly from post-surreal, to fine lines, to etheral to figurative. great period.
my new fav artist
This guy is the next big thing. complete juxtaposition of graff street art and classical figurative art. brilliant. i cant say enough good things about this cat peep out the shot and check out his site. conorharrington.com
this is stupid but funny
Diesel: SFW XXX from Hansol on Vimeo.
why is porn funny? wieners and coochies make me laugh...and poop jokes...and farts.
this is actually pretty funny and creative as well. my fav is the dude playing the pinball machine called "rear gunner"
My new favorite ad.....WTF?
Zune Paint from Sibling Rivalry on Vimeo.
i normally wouldnt post about an ad but this is really funny and creative. plus having the penchant for low brow art that i have its totally in tune with the stuff im into....not so much the paint out the butt but you get my drift. also the tune is a Digitalism sinichi osawa remix which is pretty cool.
FREEK
Big ups to CCB for Freek. she bought me the "thrill her" sugar free which most of the time the sugar free ones suck but this was pretty good. not too much kick or anything. the can is pretty funny cuz it goes into this whole thing about what kind of freek are you i.e. boob freek, foot freek, hairy pit freek? i dont know if that last one has to do with mosh pits with hairy dudes or hairy armpits in general. i wonder what demographic this is being targeted too....my guess is 15 year olds who are trying to be cool. my advice put the can of freek down and the world of warcraft figurines down, shave your trash stache and go outside.
Bottled Rage
Jesus Mary and Joseph! this stuff is crazy, the red bottle makes it look fairly innocuous but this is the real deal. first off each bottle has 4 servings in it and everyone that i know that has drank it says to follow the instructions and drink what is recommended. well i drank half the bottle then went to go work out and i was a total freak in the gym. i raged on every major muscle group known to man for hours. i even worked out the lesser known muscles like the under used slats, trikes, dorts, flactoids, thromboids and ginikticazoids (the most hebrew of the muscle groups, i work this one out by eating gifelte fish and feeling guilty that i havent called my mother). seriously this stuff is bottled rage, its got everything under the sun in it too and it tastes pretty good. its a bit heavy and a touch syrupy but good none the less. i think a more appropriate label would be a dude eating pit bulls and punchin wanksters....and more exclamation points....and swear words.
the dwarves/the uprising/ Bison bc
Went to the ravari room last thursday and saw a great show. kudos to the booking agent there they are lining up some sweet shows. first off we saw Bison bc from vancouver and they killed it. great set totall doom metal and the dudes seemed solid. they made my ears hurt, i hope they come back, im a fan after that set. next up was the uprising, really nice guys from orange county.they did a good set too they sounded like socal punk meets NYHC in the late 80's early 90's, fun stuff.
then the Dwarves ripped it up, the pit was a sloppy crusty mess with the punks and their full beers sloshing all over the place. they killed it, really fun show. cant wait for baroness,priestess and the sword in the next few months.
bad boy n girl
Wow, these two are marketing genius waiting to happen. I guess making decals for the rear windows of ford f-150's wasnt enough you had to make an energy drink...excuse me "power drink" for the masses. Then follow it up with a bad girl energy drink. if i could start a slow clap i would. i applaud you bad boy/girl for making something that is as creative as watered down red bull (boy) and something slightly berry flavored (girl). to be honest i felt kinda wussy drinking a big pink can of the bad girl stuff. so i made up for it by punching an eagle scout in the mouth.
An albatross at The Summit
So I got to go to the An Albatross show last tuesday at The Summit (i think thats what its called). its a new venue next to cafe bourbon st. ups to nick for getting me in. the venue is pretty cool, they gotta work out some sound issues but ill go there again in the future for other shows. An Albatross is a great band from wilkes-barre and they wailed like always. everytime i see them regardless if they play for 5 people or 500 they completely freak out and give 100%. i got to talk to eddie, the singer, for about an hour and let me tell you that is one solid dude. mad props to the band and good luck on the euro tour.
Raw Dawg
first off ups to CCB for giving me these cans, she is the queen of finding odd ball energy drinks:) OK sweet...so raw dog has another meaning if you dont know what it is then ask me. lets just say if you raw dog it you might need a shot of penicillin in the morning.
this can is funny, a pit bull with a barbell in his mouth and RD bling. this stuff tasted ok sort of like a sports drink with carbonation. i think the target demographic is jugaloos and wanksters. this shit would sell like hotcakes at an ICP concert.
One for NASCAR enthusiasts
Man these things are getting totally generic. This one tasted fine just like the rest of them, sort of medicinal and citrusy. I think a case of this is like 8 bucks. It didnt really do much for me I just maintained. the good thing is that the label is funny and poking fun at nascar. speaking of poking fun. peep out the t-shirt design...busted.
simply cola
This got into my hands at an opurtune moment. I was walking with a co-worker when two little red bull street team kids with their red bull fanny packs i.e. backpacks came walking down the street. we smiled and they gave us a few cans. this isnt a red bull drink that tastes like cola its an all natural cola from red bull. its got a bunch of stuff in it like pine, cardomon, kola nut and tears of the young. its not bad but it tastes like tab or RC cola. so its kinda a throwback to the mid eighties. it would be equivalent to me getting the directors cut dvd of tron or something. yay red bull finally taking that leap into 1984. i really wanted the street team kids backpacks so i could wear it to work looking like a misplaced japanese 8th grader....junior high mustache and all
good ol ohio hurricane
So we went up to Clintonville for a BBQ during the storm and watched the burb get destroyed. of course after several beers we thought the wise thing to do was to go for a walk in the middle of the storm and take pics while avoiding falling trees and animals and stuff. then there was a guy dressed up like a fish....sweet. he was getting his picture taken for an album cover for his friends band. so i jumped in and got a few pics. i think im sitting on his spawning sac.
i felt bad for this dude over on piedmont ave. he was driving home and a tree uprooted and nailed him while he was driving....crazy. hes ok he walked home and left his truck you know under a tree for safe keeping.
CRUNK!!!
SKEET SKEET SKEET MOFOS! Crunk is the shizz, its tastes pretty good (but gets old fast) and its got ashwaganda in it. Ashwagandha is reported to have anti-carcinogenic effects in animal and cell cultures by decreasing the expression of nuclear factor-kappaB, suppressing intercellular tumor necrosis factor, and potentiating apoptotic signalling in cancerous cell lines. I know Lil. John really researched his product before putting it out on the market and im proud of him for that. He is keeping Crunk alive and well by feeding the mind and the body of all those in the Crunk community. I think Ashwaganda is sanskrit for boner jams or something. Hell to be honest if lil john was peddling hemorrhoid cushions id be buying them.
Riot Control
Crimony this beast is huge, i think its like 4 servings per can. Its supposed to be apple but anytime and energy drink picks a flavor it sort of just tastes like said flavor and robitusin. The can is cool with the concert scene. I'm showing the side of the can with the devil horns cuz they rule. i dont plan on drinking another one but i will use it for crowd control during the next campus riots. shake this baby up and let her fly into a crowd of unsuspecting students. watch them wail and moan with shards of the can buried into their asses. I think the UN calls this can the "Peacekeeper"
Mas lucha
Look at these two gems geared at latinos. The first one is packed with the power of clams. I didnt know that latinos had a thing for clam juice. As scary as this drink sounds it wasnt bad. It just tasted like tomato juice, i wouldnt drink this on a regular basis but i would make some bloody marys out of it. The can is sweet with the bolts and the mexican wrestlers on the corners. The next one is the Everlast Latino explosion tropical. Again im confused for a few reasons. First off everlast makes energy drinks? I thought they made boxing and athletic gear, jesus everyone and I mean everyone is making energy drinks. I'm sure that Enron will make an energy drink that tastes like corporate crime or BP will make one that tastes like 4$ a gallon. Yes I said tastes like 4$ a gallon. The weather channel will make a tropical storm Ike drink etc etc etc. anyhoo back to everlast. it tasted fine just like hawaiian punch and thats about it. Im keeping my eyes open for other latino energy drinks. I think it would be cool if they did a virgin mary drink or a low-rider drink....any takers?
classic jolt vs. new jolt
Ah yes many of you remember the classic jolt cola. extra sugar with twice the caffeine. well now they have expanded their empire to include the energy drink market. first off these cans are huge they are the 40's of energy drinks. i think they are 3 servings per can and they come with warnings too. they taste ok, no too medicinal. but a weird side effect is that they blow you out. so if you are constipated drink a can and youll be stamping out a turd in no time. you'll have a nice loose bowel movement, or LBM as we call it in the industry. this drink will most definitly get one going in the tumbler.
The Freedom fightin drink
Yes! Finally someone made a patriotic energy drink phew! I was getting worried that the energy drink market was neglecting the patriotic, god fearing, meat eating, gun shootin demographic. to be honest this stuff actually tastes good. hell i slammed half the can put on my carhart outfit and cammo hat went out and shot myself a deer and a border jumper. god i could feel the freedom running through my veins. i almost enlisted.....almost. i love freedom have i mentioned that? i might finish off the other half of the can go home slap my wife and kick my dog. the other good thing about this beverage is that it opened up my awareness to bald eagles. apparently there arent many left, i better stop shooting them and eating them. ill move on to spotted owl or snow tigers instead.
180
weeeeeeee! this can has the lable right side up and then upside down on the other side! weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
my collection
Ive been asked to put up a pick of my collection. most of these have been drank by me while some by others. It doesnt look like much but i have 97 cans in my collection right now. The pic doesnt include my new collection of coffee energy drinks. ive had 4 different brands and several different flavors, 10 cans total. All of them have been great so far...relatively speaking.
monkeys are funny
This can is pretty cool, its an old timey looking elixir/tonic/snake oil/ cure all can. i like the kitsch design, then again i like kitsch in general. the cola tastes like cola and the elixir tastes like redbull. the best part is the monkey at the bottom of the can that starts off like a tired gentleman monkey, then he drinks it then he starts a howling....then throwing his poop would be my guess.
Bawls
Bawls....what else can i say. The names says it all. Unleash the power of Bawls. Feel the power of Bawls in your mouth. Bawls energy drink, youll have to wear a cod piece while drinking this one. i can go on and on. the bottle is cool, its a pop off. the drink is ok, ive had several types and my fav. is the cola. the first time i had bawls it gave me gas, the second time i had bawls i had a few new chest hairs.
Why do all engery juice drinks suck
Next up is ACE. kudos on the can design a total nod to pinup girls and WWII air fighters. the cans are slick the girls are hot but the drinks suck. the regular energy drink tastes pretty canned, no pun intended, and isnt anything to write home about then they also have the juice engergy drink.
Again the can is pretty rad but this one really sucks. why is it so hard to make a juice energy drink. this will start my poop storm of a continual rant about how bad energy juice drinks are. they are all a blend of juices, like apple, orange, lemon, grapfruit,tangerine, pear, shame, badger, e.coli and of course polio. seriously stick to one juice, oh i dont know say a popular one with the kids these days seems to be orange add some vitamins, caffeine and all the other E-drink B.S. and call it a day. they have a third can, see below, havent had it yet but i dont have high hopes due to the fact that most lo-carb/sugar e-drinks taste like a chemistry final. If i find this one i still plan on buying just because itll complete the set and the can is cool.
One for the Pride parade
O.k. back to energy drinks. Ahhh tab the classic retro cola now buying into the energry drink market. Well this one is actually tasty, sort of a light berry flavor. I think this is one of the few energy drinks that actually tastes good and most people would enjoy. Seeing as 90% of these drinks taste like butts.
The only problem with this one is that while drinking it and holding this pink rocket in my hand I feel like I should be wearing a fanny pack and punching dudes in the cock with my mouth.
Some pics i like and other things
this is a great movie documenting the hardcore punk scene in the u.s. It focuses on a few cities one of them being DC whose scene i love and grew up listening too. this movie is great even if you arent into punk, it shows a good objective view on the scene back in the day...which was a wednesday...sorry i had to:)
speaking of the DC scene I recently learned that my wife was friends with weef (john weifenbach) the singer of void! sweet, she saw him in the documentary being a spazz on stage and says "hey that looks like my old friend weef from DC". well we checked into it and it sure was. peep out the spazz below
here is a pic from the movie american hardcore that i like and also one of my fav. skate and punk photographers glen e. feidman. people always remember him for his skate and pics from shows and that great border he has on a lot of his shots but he also is a good scenic photographer in general, i.e. the clouds pic....i like clouds they make me happy. word to your motha go outside and look up. sort of like stopping to smell the roses.
this is gross but funny
this vid is super stupid and funny at the same time. something about dogs humping makes me laugh every time....i guess really anything humping makes me laugh. make sure to watch the whole thing its got oscar buzz written all over it.
I think this one is for strippers
I found this gem at the sunoco on parsons by marion village. Check out that winning can, lips n mango...thats what I call wednesday nights. Ya these guys make blunt rolls too and now they have decided to branch out into the world of energy drinks. Up next on their agenda a childrens non-profit perhaps? It tasted ok kinda like redbull and fake mango juice put together. I bet it would make for a tasty mixer tho. I think i saw one of the strippers at the bachelor party I went to this weekend drinking one of these. I could tell they were strippers because they smelled like cocoa butter and GED's
The liquid experience
I found this one in my local drive through that i frequent in German Village. Jimmy Hendrix the liquid experience named after his album of course. Not bad tasting, sort of a light berry didnt really wake me up or anything but pleasant none the less. The Can is pretty cool looking in a non threatening psychedelic sort of way. I did set my guitar on fire after drinking it though...weird. Apparently this drink is getting people upset because jimmy has been dead for 35 years but they are using his image to market energy drinks. Strange, no one said anything about the hendrix vodka they are selling....hmmmmmm.
Amor y Lucha
I was excited to get this can. A friend of mine gave it to me and I was ready to rip into it. Caballo Negro i.e. Black Horse, all I said when I got it was "yes".
Look at it, it's got the mexican flag on it with a stallion surrounded by barbed wire ready to kick ass and take names. I pop this bad boy open took a swig and said "WTF!". This stuff is so gross, it tastes like an energy drink made in the sewers of mexico. I drank about a quarter of the can and dumped the rest. The stuff is a light brown color and smells bad and tastes even worse. The secret ingredients are "una de gato" translation "cats nail" which is an antioxidant. The other ingredient "horny goat weed" translation "horny goat weed" which is a sexual stimulant. Sweet, nothing beats getting a boner with a caffeine buzz.
The zen of steve
This one made me laugh my ass off. OK so Steven Seagal has an energry drink and its called Lightning Bolt. It comes in two flavors "Asian Experience" not sure what flavor this is and "Cherry Charge" self explanitory. I like the can and its nod to chi and how Steven's mug is at the bottom of the can. he looks sort of swarthy or maybe he just sat on his keys or something. The only one of these ive tried is the asian experience and it tasted like brown. It was not asian nor an expierence at all, i didnt even finish the can...gross. The secret ingredient is asian cordyceps which sounds like a made up muscle group. As in...
Zan:"hey man you grunt when you get your swell on?"
Chazz:"totally brah, especially on tuesdays when i wail on my cordyceps"
Zan:"sweet, get in the zone brah"
