HMMM

I always wondered how short people see me.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

This Christmas, my Mom is making sure my foot game is right going into 2011!

NO WAY

Dr. Dre is doing the unthinkable and is actually putting out that album he's been talking about for 11 years. Here's the single. Guess what it's about!

DON'T HATE

When some midget figured out all he had to do for money was lip sync into his Mac book, raise his eye brows and put it on Youtube, he was stoked. Then 50 cent figured it would be a good way to promote himself and stopped by his place for an hour. You will never hear me hate on 50 ever again.

NEWS

Max Fish is closing at the end of January. Landlords love to raise the rent. Me from 2009 is bummed.

REVIEW

Margo took me to a bar that's totally sick. It's called The International. It's on 1st Ave between St. Marks and 7th St. A shot of Evan Williams and a Genesee for 4 dollars. The shots are huge too! When you get one you're all like 'Wow, is that bartender still pouring that thing?'

WHAT?

I was searching for Electric Light Orchestra's 'Turn to Stone' with Soulseek and these are the matches I got. Oh, internet.

MOVIE REVIEW

I saw this movie recently. It was really good!

NICE

Apparently Wavves sells grinders at their merch table.

They seem pretty legit too.

HEY YOU'RE COOL

Twin Sister is one of my favorite bands from New York! They just made a video for my favorite song of theirs.

If you're weary of watching skate videos, I understand. This isn't a trick video though, it's the story of Pro Skater, Antwuan Dixon. It's entertaining!

I mentioned Big Freedia before, but here is more evidence of how good he is.



He's playing 10/22 at South Paw in Park Slope. I'll see you there.

ROAD TRIP

There's a yard sale that's 675 miles long. It's been starting on August 5th every year for 23 years. Dekalb Visions and Unique sort of seem like no big deal now.

Do you remember that Simpsons episode where Bart has lizards and they start eating all the pigeons and everyone gets stoked? And then...

Skinner: Well, I was wrong; the lizards are a godsend.
Lisa: But isn't that a bit short-sighted? What happens when we're overrun by
lizards?
Skinner: No problem. We simply release wave after wave of Chinese needle snakes.
They'll wipe out the lizards.
Lisa: But aren't the snakes even worse?
Skinner: Yes, but we're prepared for that. We've lined up a fabulous type of
gorilla that thrives on snake meat.
Lisa: But then we're stuck with gorillas!
Skinner: No, that's the beautiful part. When wintertime rolls around, the
gorillas simply freeze to death.

Apparently a real version of this is happening in Brooklyn. Check this out from the NY POST.


'In a bizarre attempt to outwit Mother Nature, city officials introduced beady-eyed opossums in Brooklyn years ago to scarf down rats running amok in the borough, according to local officials.

Surprise: Operation opossum didn't work.

Not only do wily rats continue to thrive, but the opossums have become their own epidemic, with bands of the conniving creatures sauntering through yards, plundering garbage cans and noshing on fruit trees.

They've even taken up golf, with two sightings of the whiskered marsupials at the Dyker Heights municipal course in the past week, local officials said.


OPOSSUM
Marsupial marauder.
"They are everywhere," said Theresa Scavo, chairwoman for Community Board 15, which represents Sheepshead Bay and surrounding south Brooklyn neighborhoods.

"Didn't any of those brain surgeons realize that the opossums were going to multiply?"

A city Sanitation spokeswoman said they were not involved with the Brooklyn opossum drop, and the Health Department didn't have any record of it. But Scavo and two city councilmen said city officials spoke about the effort at a 2007 Brooklyn forum.

"City brought possums in to take care of rats," read Community Board 15 notes from the meeting.

The opossums were set free in local parks and underneath the Coney Island boardwalk, with the theory being they would die off once the rats were gobbled up, said Councilman Domenic Recchia (D-Brooklyn).

Instead, the critters have been populating, spreading to Park Slope and Manhattan'

TOO HOT

When ever Lil Wayne and Drake get together they make a hit. In this song Lil Wayne starts his verse with "Ooh shit! Mother fucker, god damn!" You can't really fuck with that. I'm also really into when he goes "Ewwww! That's nasty." It's like he surprised him self with how gross he can be. I also like the "Hey Weezey you're going to jail, but we're gonna release this as a single in 6 months so we need to get some footage of you for the video." aspect of this.

WHAT A STEAL!

Look what's for sale on craigslist!

WANT 'EM

If you see these somewhere get them for me. I'll pay you back. An 11.5 please.

FUCK YOU!

Yo MTV! WHAT IS THE FUCKING DEAL?

This is down right irresponsible if you ask me.

CLASSIC

I wanted to start a classics section here, but I didn't know what to kick off with. After the West Indies Parade, I realized what I needed to do.

I WAS THERE

Last Sunday, I went to see a show at the Williamsburg water front. This is how it went:

3:00pm Dominique Young Unique plays for 60 people and is amazing.

3:30pm - 5:00pm During this time Tyler shows up and we're just really bored for a while. Then we leave, so Tyler gets a burger at Pops and I practice power slides on North 8th Steet and get really close to doing one right.

5:30pm Big Freedia Plays and BLOWS MY FUCKING MIND. Didn't know anything about this guy, but he's fucking amazing. A real entertainer. Dude has a microphone and two back up dancers(one of which is a guy who is almost as gay as him.)and just rapped about ASS for 20 minutes. It was the best thing I'd ever seen. Watch this glorified commericial for him!



6:00pm More boring shit happens. Then Nikki shows up and Tyler trys to buy a beer. Oh what's that? You can't buy beer after 6? Really?

6:30pm Tim Harrington comes on stage for 5 minutes and was pretty entertaining.

6:45pm Dougie Fresh sucks. Can't lose my spot for Gucci though.

7:00pm GUCCI FUCKING MANE!!! HOLY FUCK IT'S HIM! IT'S REALLY FUCKING HIM!

7:05pm HOLY FUCK! HE'S PLAYING LEMONADE! THIS IS THE BEST!

7:15pm I realize I'd gone parasailing 2 days ago and am now watching Gucci Mane. My life is awesome.

7:25 Gucci plugs his album and leaves before his 6th song is even over. I guess you get what you pay for.

EXCUSE ME...

I've been playing guitar a bit more than usual the last couple of months, and was thinking about selling my mediocre practice amp, and buying another mediocre but slightly better practice amp. I could probably get $150 for the one I have now, and saw an amp that looked nice cheap amp. Figured it'd be $200. A tube amp, 5 watts, two 8 inch speakers. Look here it is...



Then after doing a google search I found out this thing costs $800!!!!

Keep in mind this thing is less than 2 feet tall and could never ever ever ever ever be used to play any type of show. Ever!

I tried to find a reason why someone would ever pay so much money for this fucking thing and the only reason I could find in the discription is that it's "hand wired" and "a small, easy-to-carry amp that sounds huge when recorded."

Who the fuck is falling for this?

STOLEN

The dude from Wavves totally steals Ty's classic sunglasses move!

DEWEY BEACH ALL DAY

More to come!

WEIRDOS

HEY! YOU'RE COOL!

Flo Fox is a Photographer from New York City. I read about her in New York Magazine. She did most of her work in the 70's and 80's and then multiple sclerosis set in...

It's hard to find her photos online. She has a website but it looks like a geocities site from 1999, which would be fine but it doesn't have too much content. Even some of the photos on the site are grainy scans. She also has a youtube account (her user name is flofox69, so you know still has a sense of humor) where she's set up slide shows. Also, on her youtube account she has bootleged her appearance in the Joan Rivers documentry. By this, I don't mean she was given a personal copy of the movie on dvd and used computer software to get the clip of herself on to the internet. I mean she was in the theater and taped it off the screen!

Just to elaborate on this woman's fame, she's photographed herself for Playboy, Penthouse, published books, and has had art shows all over the world. She even has pictures in The Brooklyn Museum's permanent collection.

YUCK!

I saw someone wearing these a couple days ago! Can you believe it?

Next time they remake Batman they should make sure to include that the Joker is the king of the juggalos.

I also really want to see this:



BTW, ICP is a 10 million dollar a year industry.

R.I.P.

This phone served me very well for 2 years. It's been fun. I liked it so much, my Mom had to buy another one. The new one is a different color though. The descision was highly influenced by the Jeezy song posted earlier.

I really like this band called Tennis. They play really short shoe gaze (is that chill wave?) songs and live in Denver. They're even coming to Cake Shop in a couple weeks! I might be in Delaware with Tyler so I may have to miss out.

NOT GAY?

Guys, Alicia Keys isn't gay! Someone told me she was years ago, and I never bothered to dispute it. Why would you make up some shit like that? That's not all though...



I thought you were gay until a second ago and now I just found out you're getting married to Swizz fucking Beats? WOW! I love Alicia and that dude gets under my fucking skin so I got bummed for some reason.

Five minutes ago this whole thing would've been unthinkable

What's Happening?

In 1965 Rick Dees became an eagle scout. 11 years later he'd write and record a song called Disco Duck and sell 6 million copies of it. Hoping lightning would strike twice, Dis Gorilla was made and with his new fortune built a ridiculous set for an appearance on The Brady Bunch Variety hour.

PRICK

What's with professional athletes doing things that they think are good for them, even if I don't agree? Am I right?

If you put together Wade, Bosh, and James' points per game average you're looking at 80 points just between the three of em.

Sky Ferreira, at 17 she's already had an MTV music video where she gets dry humped in a bra and worked with DJ Skeet Skeet. She's turning 18 in a few weeks and I'd like to wonder where her career is going, but more than likely I'll never hear of her again.

Speaking of people trying to get a piece of the Miley Cyrus market Lil Wayne just put this one out.



On some hyocritical shit, I'm really into La Roux right now.

SHARKS HAVE SKIN MADE OF TEETH?



If you look at a sharks skin under a microscope or something it shows that they are even scarier than you thought. It also apparently helps them swim really fast and helps keep barnacles and other gross stuff away. The Navy, and NASA are trying to figure out how to copy it in metal form too.

YOO!

Hung out with my friend Ted for a little bit this after noon. I was happy to see him but I was like "Yo, what the fuck is going on with your feet?"



Ted, we got to do something about this.
