Julian Izaguirre: Street Killaz 3...

So, here's a dewd that I just love to have around when I skate, even if I'm skating with other people this kid shows up, he just makes it moar funner.
It's great to see soemone in the younger [new] generation wanting to skate because of the pure enjoyment of skating, having fun and killing it at the saem time.

I love that he gets pissed at his friends when they give lame excuses to not skate on a beautiful dei.

He just loves to skate, always smiling, has the charge & barge mentality, and down to skate with anybody.

If you ever come to Chicago and have the opportunity to skate with him, you are guaranteed to have fun, laughs, and a great session.

His chest piece can be a bit intimidating, but that smile just opens the doors.

Julian rides for Character Skateboards, Born & Hated and Modest skateshop in Forest Park, IL.

As of the end of this post I am currently listening to "Got Me On The Line" by Ratt on Pandora from the album "Invasion Of Privacy" released in 1985.

Antagon - Bird Brain...

So, I've been addicted to this track lately. It's from the compilation "Psytraveller vol.2" a 45 track (3 Disc) compilation CD released by Psytraveller.net, please go czech them out if you're into this track, or just curious.
You can also find a link to Psytraveller via the "Psychedelic Traveller" banner link, if you scroll down, on the right side of this page. (underneath mai Amazon wishlist)

I love listening to it while commuting back home from work on the train.

Night Of The Living Rednecks...

So, I came across that truck that Jello Biafra talked about in the song "The Night Of The Living Rednecks" off of the album "Give Me Convenience Or Give Me Death" released in 1987 on Alternative Tentacles.
Lyrics...
WIKI...

Jeff Foxworthy: Rave Whore...

So, I think Jeff Foxworthy would prolly gain a wider audience if he embraced underground culture as much as he did 5th graders.

As of the end of this post I am listening to "Surf Mars" by Rip Van Hippy from the album "Waking Up Is Hard To Do" (<---MP3's) released in 1997 on Psy-Harmonics records. 

You should czech oat their MySpace and Facebook pages.

Hipster Runoff Podcast...

So, on the way to Weston, WI. we listed to half of two of the three podcasts, I have on mai iPod, of the popular web blog Hipster Runnoff.

The guys had seen, read the site before, but never heard the voice of Carles.

I suggest you educate yourselves as well.

As of the end of this post I am currently listening to "Holy Gasoline" by Zodiac Mindwarp & The Love Reaction from the album "Tattooed Beat Messiah" released in 1988.

~~~ Free DWNLD~~~

[under the album title at the bottom]

NYC Women Topless in Public...

So, dunno if you knew this, but NYC Women Go Topless in Public, Resulting in Self-Acceptance and Stunning Images via Bust Magazine.

Chick, czech it oaaaaaaaaaat.

"New York is a pretty cool place. We all know about the endless supply of renowned museums, and Central Park is like a magical (though overcrowded) forest, but did you know that since 1992 it has been legal for women to be topless in public? Admittedly, it is still rare to actually see a woman brave enough to do so--just because it's legal doesn't mean it's socially acceptable--but on these hot July days it’s getting more and more tempting." - Posted by: Ariana Anderson in Artsy on Jul 18, 2011


As of the end of this post I am currently listening to "Indebted" by Cooter from the "Disasrming Violence" compilation released in 2000.
(Cooter also went by the name of Autopilot Off)

Free Coping...

So, does anyone want soem 2" steel coping? Contact me in the comments

Zombie Musical...

So, I know soem of you prolly like Zombies and soem of you are prolly just hopping on the Zombie trend buggy, but either way I fig'd that you all would prolly be interested to know about a Musical about Zombies in Chicago called, well... Musical of the Living Dead.
I saw this flier last week, thought it was pretty kewl, and got to thinking that maybe I could post a blog about it to see if I could single handedly sell out this show.
If it looks like soemthing you'd be interested in going to, you should czech the website at the bottom of the pic or just click on the link above with the name of the musical.
Not really sure if this would be considered or filed under show tunes, since it's not Broadway.

I don't know if you know who Urban Camper is, but the guy in the bottom corner with the glasses eating an arm looks KNDA like him. He's a world famous photographer who travels the world taking pictures and writing for numerous magazines, like Transworld Quad and Motorcycle Cruiser just to name a few.

As of the end of this post I am currently listening to "Blacklight" by Descendents from the album "Live @ Mississippi Nights" bootlegged in St. Louis, Missouri on March 28th, 1987.
and if you don't have enuff of their stuff...

Today's Time Capsule, Joe Jackson...

So, there used to be this pivotal, influential musician named Joe Jackson who was part of the No Wave of punk rock in the late 70's early 80's. This track came out in 1979 as a single, and on the album of the saem name which has such great tunes on it, that I still listen to it to this dei.
Even back then he was talking about making Skateboards repectable. How rad is that? The dude has been hip to skating since the beginning. His music may not be as punk as, let's say, the Sex Pistols, but punk in the sense of not doing waht's trendy or popular.
If you like the studio version of the video you should watch the Live Version of the song, so much energy in that place that you wish you were there to be a part of it. Thank You Joe.
Now if you'll excuse me, I will be "Steppin' Out"

As of the end of this post I am currentlt listening to "Mexicalli" by Spazztic Blurr from the album "Befo Da Album..." released in 1988 on Earache records.

Wisdom Of Tea #5...

So, mai kite string insight for todei told me that "The Universe is the Stage on which you dance, guided by Your Heart."
I think that holds true just so long as your head doesn't get in the way. Follow your heart, and don't think too much about it.

As of the end of this post I am currently listening to "Initium/Samhain" by Samhain from the album "Initium" released in 1984

I think Metalcakes should make Samhain cakes with tiny little fondant Devil locks on them.

It's pronounced "Sow-een"

Acid Board...

So, I was just on FB and saw this ad chilling in the sidebar. An LED skateboard, can you imagine riding this thing at night or watching soemone else? Talk about seeing trails, bro.
Waht if you and soem bros were sucking on a few sugar cubes riding these around, do you think you would have a good or bad trip?
Do you think the aliens might come down and vibe with you on your chillwaves?

As of the end of his post I am currently listening to "Flotation" by Multiplex from the compilation "Goa-Head vol.4 (disc 1)" released in 1997.

Captcha 1...

So, I'm pretty sure you're familiar with FB (facebook for those unfamiliar) and its security settings when you wanna ad a link to soemones page. They have a kewt little captcha pop-up window with soem random words for you to type in so as to avoid spam or soem ish like that.
Well, I've been collecting the kewl ones that I think are KNDA funny.
The first one I give you is: Been Birthed
I'm sure you can tell, prolly already know that I have been, or else I wouldn't be here brightening your dull mundane dei.

As of the end of this post I am currently listening to "Of The Perfect Kind" by The Field Mice from the album "For Keeps" on Pandora radio. The album was released in 1991.

Wisdom Of Tea #4...

So, as you may know, I drink tea.
The brand: Yogi™
The flavor that this piece of wisdom came off of was Camomile.
Str8 up, NO sugars, NO creams, NO agave nectar.
Just flavor.

Here it is for you:
"Strength does not lie in what you have. It lies in what you can give"

As of the end of this post I am currently listening to "Don't Change" by INXS from the album "Kick It In Excess" recorded live in San Diego, CA. on March 31st, 1988
(Now it says San Diego as the town, and he does yell San Diego at the end of "Guns In The Sky", but in the song above he yells "San Francisco.")
So, either he messed up or the CD company did.
The video link under the words "don't change" says SF two days prior, but it's the same song as on the CD. (people yelling and everything)
That's the only thing wrong with this recording...

WTFrick...

Create custom caps on zazzle.com

So, here they are, the SRC trucker hat. Perfect for those sunny days to keep the sun outta UR eyes when UR trying to sk8, play Frisbee, Disc Golf, Volleyball, or just walking to get an Ice Cream cone with your special soemone.
The best thing is that you get to pick your color of hat, you don't have to buy the black one, you can pick any of the colors offered at checkout.

As of the end of this post I am currently listening to "Untamed Stare" by Zodiac Mindwarp & the Love Reaction from the album "Tattooed Beat Messiah" released in 1988. They toured the United States B in the D (1988) supporting Alice Cooper and Guns N' Roses on dozens of dates.

The Shart Bus...

So, I've heard of special people riding in the Short Bus, but the Shart Bus?
No thanx, I'll pass. That seems a little too special.
I don't think I'm ready for that calibre of speciality.

As of the end of this post I am currently listening to "Sensorium (Original Single Mix)" by Clock DVA from the album "Thirst" released in 1981, and then re-released in 1992 w/bonus tracks...

Only Out For One Thing...

So, have you ever met soemone who only has one thing on their mind?
Whether it's Sex, Skateboarding, Music or even Donuts, there's always soemthing for ewerbody.

As of the end of this post I am currently listening to "Freedom" by The Frogs from the album "Racially Yours" recorded in 2000.

"The Frogs are this fucked up band from Milwaukee that play sugary sweet pop songs that are unafraid to fucking "go there." In fact The Frogs seem to delight in making you uncomfortable or tickled depending on just how tight your ass is...
...The Frogs, while being controversial, are often thought provoking, clever, and profound in their ruminations on race. Can you handle it?" - Cosmic Hearse


"Absolutely amazing songs, much more tightly composed than their improvisational stuff. Lots of psychedelic, folk, and glam influences, and a tripped-out lo-fi vibe throughout. The lyrics are NOT racist at all... you must remember that the Frogs write songs in character, and here they take on issues of racial tension, the history of slavery, and other difficult topics with surprising seriousness. They sing from the perspective of both blacks and whites, and their use of irony is challenging but ultimately very intelligent and complex. It will make you laugh, make you cry, and most of all it will make you think... It's more "Chappelle's Show" than "Amos & Andy," but unfortunately some people aren't willing to give this kind of thing a chance." - Electric To Me Turn
