Silversun Pickups- Swoon

"want to burn skin and brand what once was mine
but the red views keep ripping the divide
if i go everywhere you want me to go
how will i know you'll still follow "

So I'm officially in love with the new Silversun Pickups' album Swoon...(I also enjoy the wheatpaste artist of the same name)

Seriously, its been growing on me..... but I am a huge fan of albums you can put on and listen to start to finish, like before all music was digital and you would actually buy a CD (remember those?)..... This is one of those CD's...... Someting about nerdy rock with a tinge of epicness.... I dig it..... You should too if you like that sorta stuff.....

some tracks worth listening to include: Growning Old Is Getting Old, Its Nice To Know You Work Alone (my fav) Panic Switch, and Sort Of..... But its all genius to me...

Black And White

This is Heidi Slimane (well actually these are photos she takes)

You may have seen some of her work on various blogs.... and I thought I would share a few of my favorites......















Once again, I need to get me a good DSLR.. I miss taking pictures to well, put on my blog..... and trying to convince a girl to let you shoot her Suicide girls application photos with a point and shoot camera, just doesn't work, all the time.......... ALSO... to whoever stole my old Canon Rebel, You know SB is too small of a town, to not have me run into you... Hopefully you were smart enough to sell that shit on ebay....

Housing Project

Here is an event in Santa Barbara that actually looks interesting.. The homie RICKS posted this and most likely worth checking out....

Sometimes you need a little help from your friends.....

From the good folks @ Guess Her Muff

Feeling:

If you know/lurk my blog, you know how I doo...

Here is a run down of some good looking clothes that I either want/ordered/or am selling my body to afford...

















As you can see there is quite a few pieces from the Mishka summer collection.... You can check out the summer 2009 lookbook here..

And I usually never do this, but for the ladies or if I had a GF to spoil.... here is a run down of some hot girls shoes and some leggings, that I think are pretty dope:

Really Dude??

So I have been a fan of Mariah Carey since her heartbreaker days..... She was my dream woman/celeb crush for the better part of my early youth.... These days, not so much, but I still admire her singing voice..... Why she married a chump like Nick Cannon, I will never understand... but frankly I could care less..... I'm sure you may have read about Nick's beef with eminem... I don't care about that either....

I saw the above photo on the Robust Flavor blog, and I got a glimmer of hope that one day I might make some of those childhood fantasies come true.... I'll tell you why....

Everyone knows you NEVER EVER get your wife/girlfriend/baby mammas name tattooed on you ANYWHERE.... I have heard this countless time from tattoo artist and recipients alike..... Its almost like a relationship death wish..... Johnny Depp had Winona forever tatted on him... are they still together??? Do you remember Donna from Cheech and Chongs Nice Dreams?? Homegirl had a list of all the past ex's on her belly and most of them were crossed out.... I grew up watching Nice dreams too....Definitely one of my top 5 favorite movies.....



My point is, Nick what are you gonna do when Mariah realizes you are a man-boy and dumps your ass??? Its gonna be fun to try to cover that ugly shit up....Oh and the script/old English letters are SO gangster..... Good job dude!

I would never ever tattoo a name on my body other than my mothers name or my daughter/son's name when/if I have one....

GWC- Richard Kern

Hello Boys and Girls...... Hope everyone had some fun on the 3 day weekend.......Its good to get a day off..... and to eat some BBQ/get sunburned/drunk....

Richard Kern has one hell of a day job......(I seriously need to get another good DSLR) I first became familiar with his name after the series of T-shirts he did for Mishka.. Still pissed I didnt order one..... anyways The lookbook has some good info about him, and some hot models wearing the t-shirts from the series.... As I dug a little deeper, I found out that he is and underground legend.... Here is some Mishka bloglin quoted info:

" Kern explored a deep interest in the aesthetics of extreme sex, violence and perversion. Often referred to as one of the fathers of Cinema of Transgression, Kern’s genius behind the lens led to further work with artists like Sonic Youth, King Missile and Marilyn Manson.

In the 1990s, Kern’s focus turned almost exclusively to still photography revolving around glamour, bondage and fetish models. He has since published 9 books of his unique photography including New York City Girls and is a regular contributor to a variety of international publications. Most recently, he also stars in Shot by Kern, a VBS. TV series for VICE Magazine that accompanies him on shoots at his Manhattan Studio."

And for the sake of boobies to start off your workweek, here is a little video (NSFW) of him in action.......

Just Do You

Thought I would share this little post by Kid Cudi I found it to pretty motivational... and I'm a firm believer in what he says about being yourself, expressing yourself and not giving a fuck about what people think about you..... Some of the best advice I have ever gotten was from my good homie DJ Inti, he told me back in the day "just do you" and I have lived by that ever since.......

"I REPRESENT EVERYTHING THAT IS GOOD AND DECENT IN THE WORLD, IAM THE VOICE OF A WHOLE NEW GENERATION OF YOUTH WHO WANT TO JUST BE WHO THEY ARE. YOUNGINS WHO WANT TO ACHIEVE GREAT THINGS, AND WHO ARE MISUNDERSTOOD. KIDS WITH DREAMS. KIDS WHO THE LAST THING THEY WANNA DO IS HARM ANOTHER HUMAN BEING BUT AT THE SAME TIME STAND UP FOR WHAT THEY BELIEVE IN PICKIN AND CHOOSIN THEIR BATTLES. I BRING HOPE TO THE UNDERDOGS AND FRUSTRATION TO THE HATERS. IAM A MESSENGER FROM GOD, HE WANTS ME TO SACRIFICE MYSELF AND PUT MY ISSUES OUT THERE SO OTHERS CAN LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES AND IGNORANCE. AT THE END OF THE DAY THERE IS ONLY FAITH, AND IM THE NEW POSTER BOY FOR CHANGE, POSITIVE ENERGY, PEACE AND LOVE. IAM NOT A PERFECT MAN, HOWEVER MY MISSION IS TO BETTER MYSELF THROUGH SONG, ULTIMATELY FINDING INNER PEACE AND WALKING A MORE POSITIVE PATH. IAM YOUR HERO, WHEN YOU ARE WEAK I WILL SPEAK TO YOU, WHEN IAM WEAK U SHALL SPEAK TO ME….THE ARTIST AND FAN BOND IS ESTABLISHED NOW. WE NEED EACH OTHER, I NEED YOU ALL MORE THAN YOU NEED ME. I WILL BE HERE FOREVER EVEN IF IM NOT HERE IN THE PHYSICAL, MY WORDS WILL GUIDE AND HOPEFULLY INSPIRE A MOVEMENT OF PEACE AND LOVE ACROSS THE WORLD…IM NOT HIP HOPS NEXT BIG THING, IM NOT THE BEST NEW ARTIST, IM NOT ONE OF THE LEADERS OF THE NEW COOL OR WHATEVER OTHER LABEL U CAN GIVE ME, IAM JUS PLAIN OL “IMPORTANT”. IAM INCOMPARABLE TO ANYONE, SO CUT THE SHIT. I STAND OUTSIDE THE BUBBLE LAUGHIN AT THOSE INSIDE IT AT THE SAME TIME PRAYIN THEY WAKE UP AND JOIN THE REAL….IAM HOPE, AND LIKE LEBRON’S RISE TO HEROIC FEATS, U ARE ALL WITNESSES. YOUVE WATCH ME GROW FROM A KID FROM CLEVELAND OHIO WITH THIS COOL SONG THAT ONLY A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE BELIEVED IN, THAT EVERYONE WROTE OFF AS A ONE HIT WONDER, TO BEIN ONE OF THE MOST TALKED ABOUT ARTISTS THIS YEAR AND LAST…YOU CAN REMAIN STANDOFFISH IF YOU WANT, BUT THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING. U KNOW CUDI, BUT YOUR LISTENING TO SCOTT. IM HERE, AND MY VOICE WILL LIVE ON FOREVER. YOU HAVNT SEEN, OR HEARD ANYTHING YET. AND LIKE I SAID LAST YEAR, I AINT PLAYIN NOMORE

MY MUSIC IS:
ONE SMALL STEP FOR ME, ONE GIANT LEAP FOR ALL WEIRDKIND.

MOONMAN
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO HEAVEN AT NIGHT?

MY DEFINITION OF WEIRD: ANYBODY WHO IS A LEADER AND FOLLOWS THEIR HEART"

Craigslist

This is funny.... and might almost be a sweet thing to say/do to your victim/crush, if you were not robbing her.....
