CORRECTION

This record is actually kind of whatever.

I just got so excited about this song I got a little carried away.

TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES

Check out my teeth.

GET THIS

1966 garage band from San Jose!

WHAT?

Beware of the bootleg merch that's out there. Not cool guys. Actually it's really cool.

WHOA

THE END OF SEASON 2 IS SUCH A CLIFF HANGER!!!!

TUNES

I heard this song drunk at a bar and now I'm 100% into it.



J. Cole can't really rap, but I love the melodies in this song.



Pretty sure it's only a matter of hours before Ty buys this 12 inch on ebay



"You must be losing your mind."



Gonna have to back this one too.

LOOK

The 7’7″ Manute Bol, the 5’3″ Muggsy Bogues played for the 1987 Washington Bullets.

LOOK

Palace is a new Euro skateboard company that's been doing everything right, so far.

Check this clip. They're shooting on vhs, having some weird but not too weird shit going on, skating New York, Waka and that Keith Nut song from the old Zoo video on the soundtrack. They also kind of got their own thing going on, which is really rare.

TUNE

NEW STUFF

The Neighbors covered a stones song. The song is from the prime of their career in 2002.

LOOK

200th Post!



Found this in the depths of my computer. It's from Bike Kill like 5 years ago.

Time is crazy, huh?

Also I just found out about Anthony's Photoblog.

My man is duel blogging and has some artistic shit going on in the other one.

GOOD

I've been jamming this Arthur Russell compilation Ross gave me a lot recently.



If this song was out in Artie's day, things might have turned out differently.

LOOK

New youtube obsession.

LOOK

It's Dom chillin with Waka Flocka!

LOOK

J. Cole kind of ruins this song but the other 3 minutes are perfect.



Speaking of music videos. I was watching the video for Memory Tapes' "Offers". And There's this building in the background in part of it that blows my mind.



Like what the fuck is that thing?

LOOK

I watched Dick Tracy last night. I'm really into Little Face.

LOOK

Have you seen my new favorite youtube channel?

PREMIRE

Half a song from the first Neighbors show.

NICE

This band Greatest Hits edited a bunch of clips of Baywatch together for their video.

Kind of no big deal. I'll probably get really hyped on it next summer though.

WHAT?

Yo Lakai! Fuck are you doing discontinuing the Howard Select?



I'd like to support a company that's 100% skater owned and distributed but fuck bro, all your other shoes are ugly or have giant logos on them. I'm too old to have huge fucking logos on my shit. Jesus!

SERIOUS

This guy is dead serious.

LOOK

Tyrus Thomas got married a few weeks ago.





Did you see the wedding cake?



NOT KIDDING!!!

NICE

I think I'm the only person over 21 that likes this band. Cool video regardless.

PREMIRE

WHAT?

Remind you of someone?

CLASSIC

NICE

Have you heard Damage Brain? They're a punk band from Florida. You know they're good because their longest song is 1 minute and 4 seconds long.

NEW STUFF

The Neighbors did an Elton John cover.



Saturday Night's Alright!

GOOD

You can't really fuck with these guys. They're too good!







Shirley Goodman, almost 20 years later, would record one of the goodest records ever.



Check out the record cover where cartoon Shirley is shaming the fuck out of Nixon.




Shame Shame Shame became really popular and was #12 on the Billboard charts.

Could her and her friend Sylvia make another hit? Well they tried. They had this idea where if they slowed down their hit song and changed the lyrics, no one would notice and it would be just as big.



Sylvia (Who helped write and produce Shame Shame Shame and unfortunately that other song too) was also in pretty much the same type of band that Shirley was in 20 years before.

Instead of being called Shirley and Lee they were called Mickey and Sylvia. They had this super hit...



I wonder if they have the same birthday.

[By the way, note the awesome juggalo art in the last video.]

REVIEW

This show is pretty good guys.

MORE TO COME

from the neighbors. Blast it.

WANT IT

About a week ago, I was at Alligator Lounge enjoying my free pizza with a couple friends. I was keeping my eye on both their TVs, switching my attention between Broken Arrow and a Cutlery Corner Info-thon. That is, until Cutlery Corner really stole the show. Do you see this thing?



IT'S A FUCKING NINJA MEDALLION WITH IT'S OWN FUCKING KNIFE YOU COULD CUT SOMEONES THROAT WITH!!!!

After a short deliberation I was ready to buy this thing. I figured I would drop 10 bucks on it. Sort of disappointed I found out it wasn't sold individually and you had to buy a whole set of necklace knives to get it.



Then I found out you get 5 for $20 bucks!!!

I'd get my necklace AND I'd have Mothers Day covered for the next 4 years.

Unfortunately though, this story has a sad ending. Because I didn't realize how technology can bring so many people with such remarkable taste together, I waited 5 days to order it and it's sold out. A tough blow to not just me, but to my friends as well. Who will never get to know the joy of seeing me threaten them with a 3 inch long knife at 2am, most likely outside of Minor Arcana.

WHAT?

“I hope that one day I get to come back home because I do live in this area, I still consider this my area, I still consider myself a Knick. Hopefully one day I’ll be brought back here.”



The Knicks should offer Ewing a $500,000 to sit on the bench and be assistant coach(Which I think he's doing for the Magic right now.) Last season they payed Jared Jeffries $250,000 to get two rebounds a game. I'd rather Patrick be there and say things like "Be tall, strong and really athletic like I was. That'll get us a win."




Or not.

CLASSIC

The album of the year came out today. You don't want to be the last person wondering what that "LANE CHANGIN, CHAIN SWINGIN" song is coming out of everybody's car on Franklin Avenue, so you better get it.

PHASE ALERT

Skeeter Davis was from Kentucky. She was in a Country Group called the Davis Sisters. After a car crash killed her singing partner she tried to keep the group going but went solo a few years later. She turned down the country element, went pop and had a dozen hits or so. Lots of songs about heartbreak, the summertime, and heartbreak during the summertime.

If you're going to be in a car with me with in the next month you best believe I'm gonna have a Skeeter mix CD on me.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW...

...with the Black Lips.




Matt: My neighbor knows those Oddfuture kids and they totally use twitter to get laid all the time. You guys are pretty successful, are you guys getting twitter buns?

Cole: Not really. We have groupies but they just show up to our shows.

Matt: You think it's more of a young rapper thing and rockers can't get it on on twitter?

Cole: I don't know. We're doing alright, but they sell a lot more records than we do.

WHAT?

When's Mike going to start carrying these at Park Deli? If kids in Junior High had jobs he'd make a killing.

WHOA

Everybody's gotta get tiny chat! Partyin and stayin in!

LOOK

Twin Sister's cool.

GOOD OLD DAYS

Check out my High School hardcore band if you want. Dan and I called ourselves POWERBOMB. Kind of a joke about how sometimes suburban hardcore guys try to be all tough and just end up acting like jocks that don't get laid. Kind of not though either.

We didn't play shows or anything. We just drank Pepsi at my Mom's house and tried to keep it down the best we could.

Things started off pretty straight foward...


...but then we got weird really fast.

BREAKING NEWS

Did you know John O is totally fucking rich? Here's the proof!



That's a shot of his Dad's backyard! WHAT!?

A couple weeks ago I felt bad for not giving him money for his Ez-Pass. These days, not so much.

LOOK

New music videos produced by Nissan!

GOOD OLD DAYS

Danny on the Williamsburg waterfront, about a few hundred feet from where I would later see Gucci Mane preform. I'm guessing this was 5 years ago.

MORE SKATEBOARDING

I watched all the X Games Real Street videos so you don't have to. Here's my 3 favorites.







Silias has already been dropped from the running but Rieder and Westgate are in the final four.

CLASSIC

LOOK

I haven't liked a skateboarding clip this much since a few hours ago when I saw Antihero put out new Chris Pfanner footage.

.

LOOK

So what are you guys doing next weekend? If you want... I was gonna go planking if you want to come?





It's really hard not to repost every video on Worldstar.

LOOK

Ty and I finally got around to putting a quick clip together of our trip to LA. I broke my camera during the second day. Bummer.

LOOK

You see this crazy shit they got in Arizona? It's fucking Jurassic sand stone carved by the wind over the last 190 MILLION years.





You need to get a permit to go here from the Bureau of Land Management, and they only let in 20 people a day. The first 10 are for people who applied 4 months in advance and the other 10, are for people who get there day of. Obviously more than 10 people apply for either and people are chosen through a lottery. Which I'm sure to an extent, must mean they use a "Who's going to give me 50 bucks?" system.

However, because the world is totally fucking nuts they have one in Australia too that is way more lax on tourism. Probably because it's only 27 million years old. Yawn.

NICE

Tight Spots first show. July 4th 2011.

THE BAND



THE FANS

LOOK

You'd think Hillary would have some tranny footage. Am I right?

LINK

After David Banner's Play video I wondered when would video girls just have to be butt naked. We'll Gucci and Waka dare to take the first step...

Gucci Mane – I Think I Love Her Remix [Uncut] [In Strip Club Performance] (w/ Wale, Dj Drama, Waka Flocka and More)

NICE

Wale, of No Hands fame has a new mixtape out. By 'new' I mean I just found out about it because it came out in March.
I probably won't really listen to it but look at the cover.

CLASSIC

Ross told me that the band that did Wild Thing has other songs.

CLASSIC

I got a new favorite skater.



Pat McGee from San Diego. She was The National Champion for women skateboarders in 1965.

NICE

Have you seen the Trees coverage in the new Spin magazine?

REVIEW

Ty lent this to me the other day.



This movie is totally good. Emilio Estavez is a race car driver about to die in a horrible accident. Then my man Mick Jagger...



...transports him 18 years into the future just before his death, but only to have his mind erased! After that a lot of crazy, really entertaining shit happens.

WHAT?

Kev turned me on to this.

CLASSIC

These are some bro songs of yesteryears.

Total jams made by friends that no one is still interested in but me.



Cinnomon Sugar by NJ Honeybees (Nick, Dave and Alex)
