Songs don't get much better than this.
It is almost as good as the movie itself.

Once again, Supra is gettin' it done, my goodness.



Supra welcome the latest installment to their series of Steve Aoki signature items with the release of Aoki’s “Wildlife” Strapped sneaker. The kicks boast a stand-out Wildlife full-print upper combined with black/white/red accents on the popular Strapped model. In addition to the drop, Supra look to celebrate the launch with an exclusive party on August 18th at Factory 413 in Los Angeles. The event will feature DJing by Benji Madden and Laser Beam with an appearance from Steve Aoki himself.

I'm slowly developing a taste (again) in my tenth grade metal, ha.
Anyways, AA's album drops September 15th, don't hesitate to pick
it up, band is whatsuppp. Get on this, now.

I finally saw this movie, and quite frankly, it was hilarious.
Makes me sooo happy.

Lucas Puig vs. Greg Lutzka ;)

Kevin Romar @Louie Lopez

This might be my new favorite artist, most deff.
His new album, "A City With No Seasons" is up for
free download on his MySpace.

Gnarliest mini ramp rippage ever, hands down.

Ohh man, Chris Brown can rap?
Apparently, because he just killed
Wayne's and Drake's flow. Rock City fairs
pretty damn well as well. Download this now!

Uhh, is it weird I've been doing this since I
was like four? Brazil knows what's up.

Hmmm, one of the best remixes I've ever
heard, get on this right now.

So, admittedly I did not like this guy,
but how could you not?
Hmmm, maybe Machida?

Hmmm, still deciding on this band.

One of the most influential albums of my generation.
This song is arguably the best song on the album.

Always makes for a fun Saturday night.

Are these not thee sickest hats?
Want one so bad, buy me one yeah?









Taking a playful concept to the design table, Los Angeles-based hat purveyors Hall of Fame unveil their latest collection of New Era fitteds. Their “Size” lineup is pretty self-explanatory, featuring raised embroidery with the respective hat size on the front panel. Each is featured in their own two-tone color range, with sizes 7 1/4 – 7 3/4 available. All the peanut heads or big domers are unfortunately out of luck. A release is scheduled for this Saturday, August 7th.

lols, the berrics are way too funny.
theberrics.com

Song is so damn catchy.
and super gay, sorry..

It's been soooo long since I've been to a show,

anyone else down?

Is it gay that I want to see this movie?
lol, haha, anyways, I'm down with it.

How I wish I could be this.

MTV Realities will never get better than this.
I live off of these.
Set your DVR's.






Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory Season 2 will be premiering August 27th as confirmed by "Drama". Get ready to gear up, the Fantasy Factory also has brand new additions. There is a "Bobby Light" manikin in Rob's office also Rob has "bigger than life sized" Wild Grinders in his office. Under corpo, Rob has built a new area, just a basic room with a flat screen TV, videos games and entertainment. Not much can be said about this place, the only thing left to say is Season 2! (source: MTV)

This song is sooo hot, except it definitely takes
a page straight out of Eazy-E's book.
On this right now.

Bert Wooten | The Berrics

The boys from Manchester Orchestra never cease to amaze me.
These performances are whatsuppp.

"Everything To Nothing"

Wow, every song I hear coming off of the Blueprint III
is completely epic. Kanye & Rhianna feature in the song
as well. All over this right now.

...I mean, really?

The trip was a complete success: Beach, Skating, US Open, Bon Fires, Friends.
One of the better days in recent memory.
Pictures from the day.

Song is sooo sick, the album dropped today, expect big things.

This joint is ill.

Mystery Skateboards has been putting down their "Dream Spot" online series for a while now. The concept is pretty simple. Each Mystery rider is given free range to create their ideal skate spot from scratch, within the confines of the Blackbox TF. So far it's been interesting to see what each guy's come up with. The newest rider to score a Dream Spot clip is none other than Mystery Am on the rise, Windsor James. Sip your morning cup, dunk a little of that croissant in there and imagine what it would be like to have Jamie Thomas as a boss. (Source: www.blog.ccs.com)

Movie looks so good,
who wants to see it?

Wow, I remember finding this band in a small
Christian store in Texas, seeing them in an epic
set at Warped Tour, and listening to their albums
religiously. This is indeed a sad time.



"Blood Sucker, Pt. II"

To hype the upcoming release of the P Rod III, Nike has

Feel good song to the max.

Saadiq's video premier Let's Take A Walk pays some heavy
homage to the sixties. All about this.

If you own an iPhone or an iPod Touch, you have a free
coffee coming your way. I learned today that if you
download the Barnes & Noble application, and show it
at a B&N Starbucks, they will give you a brewed coffee,
hot or cold. Hmmm, all over this.

Doin' Work, Welter Weight UFC Champion

Doin' Work

The side project of Vampire Weekend keyboardist, Rostam Batmanglij,
and Ra Ra Riot lead singer Wes Miles finally released on July 7th.
It is a rad mixture of R&B and synth-pop, super excited to listen.

All about these, buy me a pair?


With various previews popping up more often, we get a closer look into the Valley Lo, one of the many designs to come out of the Ransom by adidas camp. The sneakers, which are slated for a Spring 2010 release, feature a ripstop upper combined with a variety of versatile colorways, including this red color concoction. Stay tuned as we’ll surely see other looks from the collection in the coming weeks.

Stars July 12th, all over this.

Don't be a hater, it's gonna be rad.

This woman is the first woman to defeat the balls
on the show Wipeout (the BBC version)
it's actually hilarious.

Kick ass bro!

The 2009 2nd Annual Maloof Money Cup is being held at the Orange
County Fairgrouns. Seriously thee greatest skate comp in the world,
this July 10th-11th.

Video is sick, song is sick.

was found shot to death, a sad, sad day for the NFL.
Rest in peace.

This band is epic, and the way they filmed
this is even more epic.

I want ALL of this, and also to be like Evren Ozan

I know these aren't all that new, but is it me, or is
Andy Hull dippin' on the edge of untouchable status...
I think so.

"I Can Feel A Hot One"


"My Friend Marcus"


"I've Got Friends"


"100 Dollars"

These are soooo rad, greens.



Nike SB unveil their 2009 July releases. At the top of the order is a new colorway of the relatively recently debuted Stefan Janoski pro-model as it comes in a light tan/khaki colorway. The clean, simple vulcanized shoe is joined by Nike SB’s staples of Dunks and Blazers as well as a Bruin and a Zoom Tre A.D. Look for these at your local Nike SB skate shop.

Just purchased one of these badboys yesterday...
Hands down, best purchase of my life.

Why am I just hearing this now? AHH, so sick.
Thank you Pandora for this.

Favorite Death Cab song.

What I would give to be an amazing skater.

This place is soooo bomb. Tried one of their new Steampots today and
my mouth was syked. Haha, but only the one in
Newport Beach, all the other ones are fake.

All day today at Huntington Beach, get stoked!

Song is hard.

If this isn't beach weather, I don't know what is.

The man who kept the world spotless via infomercials is
dead at 50, such a sad day.

Finally, I hate Auto-Tune. Well it's a love/hate relationship, but primarily hate.
Here's what HB had to say, Hov reinforces his latest declaration with his return to screen,
when recently he announced the “Death of Autotune,” a track which was coincidentally,
produced by Kanye West himself. Officially launching on June 28th, here is the official trailer. Check it out.

Album is so killer.

Jeremy Piven, need I say more? August 14th, 2009

Out of all of the movies coming out in the near future, I am most excited for this one, looks sooooo good.
Drops into theatres August 14th, 2009.

So the Scrubs finale was some time ago, but Ted's version of Hey Ya is by far the greatest
acoustic rendition of any mainstream rap/hip hop/r&b song to date, kudos.
If anyone has a straight mp3 version of this song, get it to me...please!

Guess they wanted to take things in a new direction, lol.

Today Michael Jackson died at the young age of 50 years old. A sad, sad day for music.

I totally miss smoking hookah every night of my life with my friends, it always brings about really
good conversation and just plain good times. I think I'm gonna get a new one.

Movie looks good, thats it, nothing else, just plain good. Can't wait to see it.

lol

Previous to their bands launching off into indie-superstardom, Rostam Batmanglij of Vampire Weekend and
Wesley Miles of Ra Ra Riot had recorded material together in 2005. Well now that material is surfacing in the
form of an album. They call themselves Discovery and the music sounds jittery and synthetic, with lots of handclaps,
high-hats, high pitches (Spinner). The album is simply titled "LP"
The album drops July 7th, sure to be a goodie.

God, I want this. I call greens when it comes out.




Smartphone makers HTC introduce their third Android-based phone, entitled the HTC Hero. The touchscreen-infused device continues the momentum of Google’s Android operating system with a few added features, including: a 3.2-inch display, GPS, digital compass, 5-megapixel auto focus camera and expandable MicroSD memory. The HTC Hero will also have an anti-fingerprint coating on the screen for smudge resistance and a Teflon coating on the exterior. Aside from those small details, the Hero will also become the first Android phone to support Adobe Flash, integrating the upcoming Flash Player 10. Other features include Twitter feeds, weather data, email/calendar widgets and a universal search functionality that looks through emails, contact list and other information.

The HTC Hero looks to make itself available in Europe this July and Asia later in the Summer. North American will see a release in the latter part of 2009, although price points have not be confirmed.

How come I have never seen this? Haha, Zach is once again, utterly hilarious.

I'm so bummed they're not coming to scenic Southern California :(
but if you live by any of these locations, you should be sure NOT to miss them.
They are also playing with Cage the Elephant.

Completely diggin' on this song. Anyways, gonna pick up the album Far, just dropped today.

This is slowly becoming my favorite album ever. It completely outdoes RAGC's first album which is a
piece of art by itself. If you still do not know who Andy Hull is, do yourself a favor and go to
ww w.myspace.com/manchesterorchestra or www.myspace.com/rightawaygreatcaptain

This movie is either going to be ultra cheesy to the max, or way to bomb to understand. Haha, either way I am going
to see it, anyone else down? Drops this summer.

Ha, yeah I saw it, so what. I almost saw Sandra Bullock naked, total highlight of the movie, lawl.
Don't see this movie.

So, I am actually NOT to excited for this movie...
however, I do think it's gonna be pretty rad.
I actually have a bet with my bud Jordan, that
it will open larger than The Dark Knight, I'm sure
I'll lose that one, ha. Anyways, lemme know how it is so I
can decide wether or not to see this thing.

So I know it will be the trend to hit Vegas big now
that the movie The Hangover has been released (and after it
being absolutely hilarious) but since I only live about two and a half
hours away from Vegas, I would really like to make this a reality...
anyone want to hit Vegas with me? Hahaha

This is a brilliant song. I just found this band with Jordan's blogspot blunder,
and I'm actually disappointed I didn't know about that sooner. I guess better
late than never, huh? Anyways, legit song, watch & listen.

I can't get over this man...
is that gay? But seriously, Andy is throwin' it down 24/7.
Quite the inspiration.

June 21st is officially Go Skateboarding Day and I spent it
all working for Baker's Burgers :(
Anyways, there is still quite a bit of light left,
go skate, and so will I.

Totally forgot about this album.
It's completely off kilter and way beyond words.
DRUNK LIKE BIBLE TIMES
