MAN EATS 23,000 BIG MACS IN 36 YEARS (CNN)

Ditte couldn’t stop raving about this new Megapuss stuff, Devendra’s little side ditty, and I tell ya what…I dig it.  Monster Jams. Here’s their myspace

I’ve got some weird passion for Tesla Coils right now.  I mean, they’ve always been tight but for some reason right now they’re TIIIIIGHT.  Must be all the lazers in my brain. Tesla Downunder is killing as far as hot tesla websites out there right now, I mean I’d say top 3 Tesla Coil fansites goin right now. Definitely on their way to the top. Out of sight.

Oh you thought I was kidding? No, I don’t kid about Tesla Coils. They’re too tight for kidding.

Creation Nation - On the Street 2006

Give this some time. Kiiiiiinda fuuuuunnnyyyyyyy, like if dane cook were actually out of the closet and relatively funny and doing street interviews right? check it at 6:05, ooohhhh boooooyyyyy heeeyyyy everyyyyybooddyyyyyy  (thanks kelly)

Youtube user: Karaokephile has a hit here! holy lord save us from that freakshow. check out his other videos

Dancin in the Dark rehearsals
 

I think babyballs sent this one over…what a poof! take that, jersey!

Another from Ditte, is this old news? pretty cute. think i’m gonna do a subtitling for it. got any funny ideas? let’s make it!

Our favorite rapper/pit bull fighter/theoretician has spoken and the masses are a listenin, lemme tell ya what! This dude’s dead on, whatever he says, I do.  If he were Master P he would make me say “unh” if he were kris kross he’d make me jump.  Read the prophets words here:

Are you following the presidential race?

Not at all.

You’re not? You know there’s a Black guy running, Barack Obama and then there’s Hillary Clinton.

His name is Barack?!

Barack Obama, yeah.

Barack?! Barack. What the f**k is a Barack?! Barack Obama. Where he from, Africa?

Yeah, his dad is from Kenya.

Barack Obama?

Yeah.

What the f**k?! That ain’t no f**kin’ name, yo. That ain’t that ni**a’s name. You can’t be serious. Barack Obama. Get the f**k outta here.

You’re telling me you haven’t heard about him before.

I ain’t really paying much attention.

I mean, it’s pretty big if a Black… 

Wow, Barack! The ni**a’s name is Barack. Barack? Ni**a named Barack Obama. What the f**k, man?! Is he serious? That ain’t his f**kin’ name. Ima tell this ni**a when I see him, “Stop that bullshit. Stop that bullshit” [laughs] “That ain’t your f**kin’ name.” Your momma ain’t name you no damn Barack.

And this reflection on the artist’s life:

What were you doing in between—from the last album to this one, that whole time? What have you been up to?

Life. I been up to that. It’s been crazy. Fuckin’ police keep on fuckin’ raiding my house and shit for nothing. They took all my fuckin’ guns. All they did is take is take my guns. All they fuckin’ do is fuck my house up and take my guns. That’s all they did. Straight robbed me—that’s what they did.

Check out the article at The Daily Dish w Andrew Sullivan

pretty sure this was on the soup. they should make a soup out of this kids brains.  and the kid who made this vid. me likey. from yo gabba gabba and the brain of some stoner

And lastly…Vero I’m terribly sorry but I just have to put this up, it’s too funny to be real.  Slow Mo Vero! Jerkinoff dude! hahahahaha

JellyNYC slipnslides  the highlight of the shows this summer for sure. 

that’s all, get back to work

always with the flyers…flyer flyer flyer flyer flyer. know what i miss? those rasta colored show flyers on telephone poles…

like this, only not the blues brothers and something you’d actually want to see. otis redding or something.  whatever, printed flyers are the bees tits. peter coffin’s got a blank print like this and it’s lovely as all hell, i just cant find an image online right now.  while i was looking for flyer examples i came across this one and i love it:

how good is that right?

Christine asked me to make her a flyer for her bday party and i’m pretty stoked on the results, its in LA so I can’t go but i bet it’ll be fuuuunnnnnnn:

yeah so that’s it. it’s fun.

and on to the actual things happening here in nyc:

WESC is having a great looking party and a killer afterparty

Dewars and Colossal are having this painting party where you drink free dewars and are given paint to mess around with i guess. RSVP at colossalmedia.net/rsvp

this it TRACEs big stagefarm shakedown party. at this new location, the bell house which looks great really, in gowanus. dont be confused. i think it’s 20 bones and im not sure if theres free booze but it promises to be a great party and stockbauer is hosting it, not much more to be said than that.

aaaan tijuana, who are amazingly playing so often for just starting it’s impressive. and these dudes so so glos who we played with at that colt show who look like complete idiots but play great pop songs. this is a great flyer, btw to whomever made it.

party on garth

hhhiiiiiiyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I started the day feelin like doofus toof over there but i’m slowly starting to take on ol cuban billy blanks here.  getting my health back hour by hour.  why’s dude got a tie on anyways?

so here’s something strange:

Ben Kingsley as Ian Mackaye….one big WTF to all of this.  Mean magazine….i dunno. couldn’t he have at least shaved off all that facial hair mishap?

and as for how a real show should go down, this one is it. Last night the Black Lips played HEAVEN in London, my friend Ditte frantically told me this morning all about it, apparently the security were holding down some police state shit and a near riot broke out, but not before the lips scorched the earth with a “this is how it’s supposed to be done” set.  

did anyone see this film? Mister Lonely by Harmony Korine.  Somehow i just missed it, must’ve been in my blind deaf mute period this year.  it looks fantastic and i’ve read some stellar reviews. not to mention the use of that bobby vinton track  let’s rent this piece!

WHOA! somehow i missed this too. oh right, i gotta get cable. This is the daily show’s John McCain profile - the reformed maverick. stunningly they even went after his war experience, welllllll done lads
 

THIS IS IN MY QUEUE!!! hoooo my god.  and if you can’t see it was enjoyed by members who also enjoyed “I accidentally domed your son” master p…i love you.

heeyyyyyy…..can anyone get me some of that other gas? starting a new metal band and….you know…need some help

buh bye

I mentioned this a while back that my tiny trooper Tiffany was traveling from Berlin over to Iceland and biking around the countryside.  And yes….that fits into a metal category, dig it.  here’s some photos from her trip, located on her photoblog Lieblingslauf

\

see totally metal.
