pretty much myspace for models. smoking hot bitches. let the perv out sesh begin.

So check it, after being up at Burney Falls for like 4 amazing lake and drinking filled days, we cruised down to Chico to kick it with Jahann or Johan or how ever he spells it. What I’m about to talk about will be more for those of you in Florida as I would imagine most everyone right around here knows what I am talking about. I’m talking about The Expendables. I knew my buddy works for them and has told me how legit their shit is but when I was there on Saturday night and saw them for the first time… Well it turns out he wasn’t lying, they are legit. Check them out, it’s like a Reggae-Party-Punk sound that allowes them to have songs that rock a mosh pit and songs that are hella chill. It was rad to see what looked to be about 1000 people knowing every word to every song they sang. So if you are in Florida or somewhere else and don’t know them, you better ask somebody and check them out (they are going on tour starting next month).

After the show the streets of Chico were absolutely jam packed with students and non partying like crazy, hit a few house parties and a few bars and a few games of beer pong later it was a 5 am affair that included a drive through visit in a cab. All in all a good F’ing time….

I’m kind of into photography. And although there a bunch of famous photographers that I like, photo communities like flickr have some really great people to watch. This graphic designer, J Trav, from Atlanta had a pretty cool photo set called Daily Persona. Kind of like the popular what’s in your bag phenomena photos, the daily persona photo’s are single portraits of his friends and a photo of what they carry around at all times in a single diptych. J trav has some ultra hip design-y friends but he also has pictures of his dad and grandma to mix it up. Kind of a cool study check it out.

We are always current on our events and the new stuff that we cover but I am going to switch it up a little and go back in time. I want to give some love back to the original players in the 4 major hip hop elements. First person I would like to cover is Martha Cooper. Some of you may have heard of her, but most of you probably haven’t. She is one of the first people ever to gain access to photograph the emerging street scene in New York. Her focus was on a few new trends catching on in the city amongst kids. She soon realized that her findings were all related as well. The 4 elements of hip hop were coming together for the first time.

I really appreciate all that Martha Cooper has done for the game, and even better she has the underground mentality. She explains how she enjoys photographing what’s the new thing that no one has caught onto yet, but once everyone blows it up she loses interest. Just goes to show you that anyone can be an underground head at heart. Check the video out. Let me know what you think.

I will include a few more installments on the elements of hip hop through out the week so stay aware…..

this shit looks dope. there are a million books, magazines, and on-line publications that have documented the rise and phenomenon that is skateboard graphics and art. it is no secret (unless you live in a fuckin cave) that the skateboard culture has bred and fostered some of the most prolific artists and modern art movements we are seeing in today’s society. everyone from the most prolific graffiti writers, top fashion and art directors to countless fine artists have been majorly influenced by skateboard graphics. but where did this shit come from? i mean, go ahead, read a book on it…figure it out, or you can watch sk8face. I am stoked for this movie, in my opinion it is going to do what just for kicks did to the sneaker culture, hype the fuck out of it. the movie is still in production and the creators are going through a re-branding of the website before they launch the movie. so for now, some screen shots of the movie and the trailer will have to suffice.

Unfortunately I can’t embed the actual trailer so…CLICK HERE FOR THE TRAILER, see below for photos.

stay up on yo game sucka!
