Kid Cudi

I've been rocking this 123Klan mix for a bit now and love their mix of the Kid Cudi of Day N Nite, so here's the video of the original. So Rad.

Debbie Duz Donuts

I still have my t-shirt!!!

Art Deco Masterpiece

After over seventy years languishing in a box the R 7 has been restored to its former glory. Although the motorcycle, manufactured in 1934, was only ever a prototype and never went into production it is one of the most important, innovative and visually stunning motorcycles ever produced. Simply brilliant!

good read about the failed Tropicana redesign

count me as one who likes the original design, the new one looks to "hospitally" I know that's not a word, but the new design looks too lab like, too sterile.

Places people want to live

of course we know what number 1 is! but jeez, don't move here!

Guitar Hero mispelling

no way!

Cthulhu

I'm a big fan of H.P.Lovecraft's Cthulhu and this mask is awesome!!!!

this one is pretty dope

Rarest Record in Scotland

About 250 demo 45s of the record were pressed in 1965. However, Wilson, who wrote several of The Supremes’ songs, became a producer and all but a handful of the singles were destroyed. A third copy belongs to Tim Brown, a record dealer in Lancashire, but it is warped and coffee stained.

Daft Punk and the Charleston

this is exactly what I needed on a Friday morning!

From Inside

Wow, looks like the Dark Tower - Stand kinda stuff this one is on my list to watch. Check the trailer.

Joaquin Phoenix on Dave

I like his new "character"

Pics from Evan Hecox Andenken show last Friday

good times had by all - Evan kicked it out in the new Andenken space, check out the giant woodcut of the cars in Mexico City.....so badass. And the huge paintings of faces were very nice too. If you get the chance get down and see them in person, worth your trip down to 30th and Larimer. Epic.

Fantastic Industrial Photography from Japan

so very cool lots of steel buildings at night. Here in Denver we have an industrial part of town with some oil and gas refineries to the North known as Commerce City, but it's no where near as big as this. It's one of my favorite places to ride my Vespa.

more on the death of print

Newsweek is planning a redesign and some shifts in content to fashion an opinionated take on events, aimed at a much smaller, and wealthier, readership. FTA - "Thirteen months ago, Newsweek lowered its rate base, the circulation promised to advertisers, to 2.6 million from 3.1 million, and Mr. Ascheim said that would drop to 1.9 million in July, and to 1.5 million next January."

this illustrates exactly how the new Pepsi logo makes me feel

ha! ha! ha!

Tito Puente on Sesame Street

Fuck Your Heroes is here, the Idealist is also worth looking at, really great stuff.

Xeni from BoingBoing interviews Glen E. Friedman

so good, Friedman probably my fave photographer of all time gets interviewed. Don't miss the end where he talks about the cover he shot of the Circle Jerks classic "Golden Shower of Hits". And if you don't own his book "Fuck You Heroes" you should pick it up.

I love the Make Up and I'm rocking some right now, I sure don't get enough of these guys ever. And Michelle on bass is just so rad. Hugs and Kisses Michelle!

Obama inherits White House record collection

On January 13th, 1981, the LPs — each in a sleeve with a presidential seal — were presented to Jimmy Carter at a White House ceremony. But the collection — placed in a hallway near the third-floor listening room, complete with a sound system — didn't remain upstairs long. When Ronald Reagan took office that year, the LPs were moved to the basement. Depending on the source, the reason was Nancy Reagan's distaste for shelves of vinyl, or the edgy choices themselves. A spokesman for Obama said it was too early to comment on whether the president would revive the library.

Abandoned Theater

fantastic photos inside an abandoned Chicago Theater via Coudal.

the Good Life

I saw a good flick last night, called "the Good Life" it's about loner who works at a gas station and a movie theater and it's got Harry Dean Stanton and Zooey Deschanel and Donal Logue. Good, weird, depressing, happy, good stuff.

lost record collection

Great article in the Stranger, and man I feel you brother. FTA:"If anything, my obsession with record collecting has only intensified following this catastrophe. It's as if I need to be physically immersed not only in the sounds, but also in the vessels from which they emanate. I crave the totems that announce to my visitors (and the world) that my taste is impeccable. Sorry, but your thousands of MP3s on your hard drive can't compete with an entire room jammed floor to ceiling with wax."

Top Ten records of 2008

well I used to listen to a lot more music than I do now, but here's what I think are my 10 faves for the year of 2008 - in no order:

Hot Chip - Made in the Dark (killer packaging on the vinyl, embossed copper printed cover)

Slim Cessna's Auto Club - Cipher (more great packaging, cover art by the fabulous Heather Reynolds with the back cover lettering done by another former Hooligan Jon Killough)

The Sword - Gods of the Earth (if you like Black Sabbath as much as I do, this one is a must)

RJD2 - Magnificent City Instrumentals (much better than last year's "Third Hand" this one gets back to the sounds I like of RJD2. This one I'm having trouble tracking down on vinyl - holler if you got a hook)

AC/DC - Black Ice (yeah, you know what it sounds like)

Girl Talk - Feed the Animals (this is my official Saturday morning clean the house album, great pumped up stuff)

Nick Cave - Dig!!! Lazarus Dig!!! (another one that you can imagine what it sounds like, still kicking against the pricks)

Bauhaus - Go Away White (this one blew me away, not nostalgic but really sounds like they've evolved and progressed as if they'd still been doing this all these years. Packaging is killer too - white printing on white cover, white vinyl, and a sticker included!)

Dungen - 4 (whoa, I don't even know what to say about this.....it's so kick ass in a kind of Ennio Morricone soundtrack-y kinda thing meets Tortoise and bathed in LSD pschedelia sung in Swedish)

Misfits - 12 Hits From Hell (not 2008 by any stretch, recorded in August of 1980, these 12 tracks were supposed to be released as an album, but ended up being cut up into a couple singles, Bobby Steele was being thrown out of the band and Doyle was replacing him - this recording uses both Doyle's as well as Steele's guitar work so it's the only recordings where the Misfits are a 5 piece and it has a distinct sound. Caroline Records was in talks with Danzig and Jerry Only about releasing this in 2001 but they couldn't get everyone to agree so it got scrapped. Of course the tapes got leaked and someone pressed vinyl with the Caroline Artwork and liner notes, I paid 20 bucks for the vinyl and am stoked to hear my high school years again.)

more and more reports on the reforming of the Stone Roses

I guess I'll believe it when I see it.....

Grindin - skate shoe history
