HIGHLIGHTS

Being a Knick fan is really hard again. I thought we could get another descent season out of these guys.

That said, I have to look to the rest of the NBA and root for the real New Yorkers.






I'm pretty sure Lebron is from New York right?



And just a couple days later...



It's been a tough week for Paul.

NEW TUNE

I don't know anything about this band other than they are good, are from Athens and someone plays a 12 string guitar. Trip on the Flash animation video. That's all I got. It's been a slow internet month.

NO THEME

WANT IT

I've gone downtown twice to find this thing (went to all 3 Modells mind you) and couldn't find it. The struggle...






If you see it, contact me immediately.

Ty figured he'd jump into my Halloween costume.

MUSIC JOURNALISM

What's with every new band I find out about on the internet, being from Australia this last month or so?

Anybody?


First it was Bleeding Knees Club, then The Creases and now these guys.







Now, I know Australia is a fucking entire country and all....



...but have I ever listened to a band from Australia before? I can't think of one off the top of my head so lets go with "No." So what gives all of a sudden?

NU TEWNS

Coffee shop alert!

WISHLIST

I saw these in a Rick Ross video and thought "I want those."

Then I found out they were Reeboks. How expensive could they be?

Then I saw them in the window in a store on Fulton, found out they're retros of Shawn Kemps old shoe and they cost $140. Guess I'll stick with Mom taking me to the Vans outlet.

HIGHLIGHTS

GO KYRIE! GO KYRIE! GO! GO! GO KYRIE!

;)

These hunky Australian pop duo's can really make a boy feel a certain way.

AFTERNOON TUNES

Been listening to this band Priests all day, They're from Washington DC. They got the singer from Chain and the Gang. Wanna check it out?








They're playin a house show in New Brunswick on Friday. Anybody wanna come with me?

Wondering what else is going on in DC? Young Gleesh is pretty cool. He's on GBE and is a fucking dinosaur on that label. (he's 23)



Ya know while we're at it, I'll break down to you real quick whats been going on in Cincinnati.

Here's Vacation (were a pop punk band 3 years ago. The kind that go "WHOOOAAAA OHHHHH OHHHHHH" all the time) and Tweens, respectively.

REDEMPTION

Deerhunter decided to not be a shitty band anymore. It's nice to see they're still down with dudes in dresses though, after it cemented their internet fame almost 10 years ago.

HIGHLIGHTS

NATE ROBINSON!!!

TRIPPIN

BIG LAUGHS IN DELAWARE!!!

YOUNGSTERS

These young Australian hunks have a couple good songs.

They have an amazing work ethic too apparently. After working all summer at the mall they flew to New York to record their album with the guy who produced Solonge's EP and launched their own clothing line. 30 dollar t-shirts and 5 panel hats if you were wondering.

Anyways, I figure... when did Wavves come out? 5 yearsish ago? These guys must have been 13 then and that seems like a really long time ago to them. Pretty sure Wavves are their favorite band.

Imagine being 13 and hearing these guys. You'd be stoked.

NOW THAT'S BANANAS

We've been told The Neighbors are going to be in Bananas Magazine which is distributed by Burgers Records. I'm not holding my breath though. If it's true I'll post something about it soon. If it's not here's one of the photos they took for it.

MTV

HUGE OVERSIGHT

I should've known about these guys. I didn't though.

MTV

You can skip to 2:12 on this next one.

SING IT PHIL

BE THERE

WOW!!!

What a way to propel the Knicks and Nets rivalry to the next level.

SK8

X Games started doing this Real Street contest where pros send in 1 minute long video parts to get judged rather than doing regular runs at a skate park. I think this format is really cool. I might be the only person over 18 who watched all the submissions but I rounded it down to my 2 favorites for you.

MTV

MTV

I bet it's just one guy putting all the bondage gear in rap videos lately.

FAMOUS DUDES CAN DO WHATEVER

CHICKS!!!!

ORIGINAL SONG BONUS!!!!

HAHAHAHAHA

AN UPDATE

Been about a month since the last time I've put something on here. It's been a slow month for me as well as the internet.

I saw the new Oh Sees video.





Girls who are not clearly lesbians not only skate these days but win contests with lines.

(Still think she's gay though.)





My man Earl got 6th man of the year.

I also decided I want a Chalk Line Buffalo Bills jacket.

I think that might be it.


I'm gonna put up a new song in a couple days..... so that's a thing I guess.

MORE RAP VIDEOS

MTV

Rich Boy!!!! It's been a while.



 If we were in person I wouldn't say this, but here we go.... This beat is hot. I can't really take Drake seriously talking about being deprived when he became kind of famous before he could drive. Meek Mill had to wait until he was 23. COULD YOU IMAGINE?! Our boy had to suffer for 8 more years!

 

Weird bondage vibe here. Sexy mutants also. I don't really get it.

"I'm on good kush and alcohol." I'm glad he didn't elaborate on the quality of the booze so I can relate.



BBQ at a Beauty Pageant? Maxwell! We need to hang out!

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST

I spent a lot of time on the Upper West Side as a child and have just been watching all my favorite places over there close the last 10 years.

Big Nick's might be the next. The landlord wants to raise their rent by $20,000. Not kidding. It just makes me wonder how much longer can Caesar's Palace hold on?







I gotta get some buds together to get some burgers and some cherry cokes, one last time.

JAMIN

French babe meets Australian producer and make beautiful music together. The songs aren't bad either! HEYAYY!




Shouldn't we just cut the chase and give them both a million dollars?

ST8 BEAST

These shoe ads totally worked on me.





"OUT MY WAY!"



The otter big dunk of the week.

MTV

Sometimes I get worried about being in bands and getting older and looking weird. Sometimes I'm not though.




Wait a minute! Anthony's got a new band!



I think it took me about 6 years to like this song.


It took me about 6 seconds to like this one though. They are Canadian!



Too bad, huh?

OLD AND NEW

 These are a couple songs I was working on about 4 or 5 years ago.

They were recorded to tape and I didn't the patience to put a bunch of tracks on it because it would take for ever.

I can't wait to harass some poor kid in 30 years, "In my day you had to rewind the tape like an animal. It would take you like 4 tries just to get it cued correctly and If you blew the take you'd have to do it all over again."








Here's a new one. I'd say the effort was the same, but computers let you indulge every stupid idea you have with relative ease.

MTV

I really like this next one but I never caught the guys name.



The chorus is plain nasty.



BONUS:

There's this Big Boi song that totally blows but the Kelly Roland hook rules.

I'm stoked on this edit.




XTRA BONUS:

Got some teeth pulled...

SNEAK PEAK

JR Smith graphic. He said he's cool with it.

SNEAK PEAK

SICK

I've been sort of over skateboarding for awhile now but this clip totally just got me stoked to go skate. Good thing I caught it on a 50 degree day.



 I also cannot believe no one came up with this before.

Btw, 300th post!

Just checked out what's for sale on craigslist's electronics section.
