Nicki Hunter Photo Of The Day: The Susquehanna River

Nicki Hunter is a friend of mine hailing from Centeral PA. Her talents behind the camera are beyond what I would called talented and sit on the edge of total brilliance. This photo of the mighty Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania to me sums up the vastness of our home state. No traffic, no ice cream vendors fighting on a hot Philly sidewalk. This simple photograph of Nature's mirror reflecting its beauty in the form of an amazing skyline littered with clouds instead of cars makes me happy that no matter where I may move to that Pennsylvania is home. 
Nicki may not shred a BMX but she is down with the two wheels and is one talented female. Cheers Miss Hunter for the photo of the day.
Her puppy Kevin is also one rad puppy. Happy Friday!

Im featured in a Deathstar Clothing Ad/Pool Session/ Record of the day

Design By John Decaprio and photo by Angie Marino. Shot at T-1. Im riding a pool tomorrow with Garret Byrnes, George H., and Johnny D. which should be a treat.
The pool is a wee bit square but I already have some lines figured out in my head. Fishing in the AM, Pool session, back in time for a nice 8am-12am shift at work. Put in my notice at work that Im moving to Austin on October 23rd. Very excited. Can't wait to spend the first half of the weekend in Jersey chilling with old friends, and shredding.
Pool sharks on the hunt!
Sick guys!
Here is an old Deathstar Edit for your eyes from 2007.

No this isn't the Berrics so there is no first try Friday, but there is a new feature called, "Fuck Off Fridays." Which is more or less a positive subject matter with a hefty negative name. So Im going to compare a mixture of two different films,videos, and records. Only to compare them to my personal life and maybe open your ears, eyes, and mind to broaden your horizons of music,art,videography, and film. So Happy Friday.
a: If your a fan of ISIS-Panopticon, I highly suggest that you check out Neurosis- Times Of Grace these two records reek of heaviness mixed with pure emotions that are fitting for any mood, happy, or wanting to eat a loaded shotgun. Beautiful heavy stuff.

b. If your into the misadventures of Lane Meyer and love Better Off Dead.... Im sure everyone had that one female in High School who you were head over heals for but no matter what you tried you were made a fool of. Lane makes one of the biggest shockers at the end of an 80's romantic comedy by choosing the right women instead of the materialistic evil women who broke his heart to begin with. Most of us men can relate to rejection, fuck I've dealt with it my whole life. Better Off Dead is my bible to my failures with women and the off the wall ideas to get them back into your arms with a loving face.



 Then there is really no reason that One Crazy Summer shouldn't be on your top five 1980's love stories of all time lists! Pure classic a bald Jeremy Piven still playing an Ari Gold type chode, but his baldness isn't what you should watch this film for. Sure it has laughs, and Bobcat in a Godzilla costume. But its heart and soul is about a boy looking for love and finding it in a very unlikely place. Avoiding the teases of his "Island" enemy and winning over the girl of his dreams and well making her not homeless after "The Killer Dolphin With Rabies" spoils the big 80's style boat race at the end. Im not very lucky with getting involved with ladies who love me back, but if they dig these films and understand why you know every line to Van Halen-Everybody Wants Some...Don't let her go! Enjoy

So break out the VHS tape, call over your lady friend, crack open a brew and have yourself a real date.
Throw on some Hot Water Music and remember when life was just a tad more rad.
Cheers.

Movie Review Of The Month: Lost In Translation AKA :I Miss What Love Feels Like? One Of The Greatest Human Emotions Is An Empty Void/Scerbo Appreciation

I FUCKING LOVE YOU! Scarlett Johansson, so here is my review of Lost In Translation both the film and soundtrack so read on, and keep your shred boner in your pants!

I actually shed a tear during these scene, pussy or not any man with any soul and love in their bones understands this scene.
                                                                             <3
Its a damn shame that Bill Murray was cheated out of an Oscar for his performance in, "Lost In Translation." Coming from someone as unlucky with love like myself it touched me in a way (n/h) that John Cussack hasn't touched since, "Better Off Dead."
Instead of the classic dork getting the chick in the end, "L.I.T" gives you the honest truth. Its best to share a number of moments with a stranger and mistaken them for loving moments which fuck me, they may as well be. But this is all opinion coming from a Male point of view. Some people may say that Murray's character is a horrid father and a cheater. Where as in my angle of the film he is lonely and disconnected with the once love of his youth. Now surrounded in a new and wonderful city he finds himself hanging around and enjoying his time around a very pretty lady with perfect characteristic that as much as he wants, he knows that it is wrong and for lack of better words keeps his dick in his pants.
What I wouldn't give to make out with Scarlett Johansson in this film. Some might see her as a sneaky whorish type character. But to me she is the backbone to Bill Murray's lust and happiness after years of misery. She acts as that girl that every single male wishes he would run into in any social setting, Tokyo or North Philly. So show some respect when you happen to ever be around a women you really dig, don't just go straight for the pants as most of us do. Just to throw this guy secret out there a very seasoned vet of the vagina told me back when I was still a virgin thinking I'd lose my V-Card to the actually girl you love in high school. What a bunch of bullshit, the chick I lost my virginity to fucked me, then my homie Mike, then my best friend Tom. ALL BEHIND HER REAL BOYFRIENDS BACK! Thankfully I didn't even kiss the tramp. But back to the topic at hand which is ,"Lost In Translation" amazing choice for soundtrack, "My Bloody Valentine" is always a treat and brings on the heartache.


Death In Vegas, have a haunting track also on the soundtrack ,"Girls" which sounds like it should be in the latest Lakai Skateboarding Video. 


Great tune, hell the whole soundtrack even "Sebastien Tellier" does a bang up job with his track, "Fantino" which reminds me of every time a girl brings butterflies or gooseflesh to my mortal form and brings a realistic smile to my beaten face. Riddled with failures of lost loves, friends long gone, and ages of heartache.


I maybe Twenty Six physically but my heart never seemed to grow up. Maybe once or twice but I can't really explain to you aside from maybe the loss of a family member what it is like to have a lonely heart when it comes to the loss of someone dear to you and their precious company.
Even a laugh or the breeze in Philadelphia on a nice Autumn day brings back memories of times lost, and faces once cared for. But we all grow up I suppose, lets hope we never grow out of Sofia Carmina Coppola's classic film of love in a city of mystery and the disconnection of daily life known as, "Lost In Translation."
Which as my first official non BMX review I give a fucking A+! You need to watch this film, either single, or with a loved one. Hell this would be a great date movie if women were into me and my tastes. Cheers!
I also found these older photos if your bored and feel like looking at me if your a cute lady :) , being rad then get pumped!
                                                     I always liked Fremont Clothing.

Scerbo is the best.

Blog of the day. Go explore your local hood, and pizza joint kids. Fuck a Twitter!
Brilliant edit.

Castevet-The Echo & Light / Red Bull Ride & Seek

Fans of Hot Water Music, Small Brown Bike, and other good tunes in that vein rejoice! This is not the Black Metal, "Castevet" but this record reeks of the Midwest and amazing music. Thats all I can really say as this record came to me at a time in my life where I really wanted to hear something this honest.
Im only posting this Red Balls video because my homie Navaz had something to do with it and the line up is super sick. I wish I could find the second Red Bull Mean Streets Contest.

Early Morning Dose Of Auditory Hatred And Hopelessness


Cursed is the soundtrack of the end of days. Filled with massive riffs full of Canadian hate and overly an negative image based on the failures of our disgusting race known as humans. We are not left off the hook on Cursed second release called in an odd twist of fate.. "II". But if you happen to be a fan of super pissed,raw,angry,crusty, hardcore, punk, metal, all things awesome in music but done write its time to put down your From Ashes Rise or His Hero Is Gone record for a minute and give your ears a chance to rub one off to Cursed second LP.
 
This is the one Baptist.

I can feel it in the air.
The late night infomercial that's going to save your life.
The warden's call in the eleventh hour.
And it's easy to say but it's hard to remember
That praise is for suckers and death is forever.
Under your nose but just over your head.
Martyr meets maker in ten shades of red.
These are your twelve steps.
Take them on your knees.
Show them at the door and they'll let you in free.
These are your twelve steps.
Take them on your knees.
Show them the blood and you get in for free.
Under your nose but just over your head.
Martyr meets maker in ten shades of red.
And I've got a one track mind.
And you know it's gonna get me tried.
I've got a one track mind.
And one of these days it's gonna get me baptized.
I've got a one track mind (and you know...)
Line twenty six: admits to martyr envy.
And it's true - I wanted it to be my head staring up at you.
Seeing what the eyes still see for ten seconds more.
Hot from the floor.
And ready to serve.
This is your head on a canvas looking my way.
And the kitchen's going to need the plate back.
Take them down to the river and drown them now while you have the chance.
While their young necks fit in your hands.
But save the souls 'cause you never know, never know where they're gonna land.
They grow like weeds when you let them.
Yeah.
You lost your head to a pretty face, Baptist.

August 2nd, 2011 Album Of The Day: Defeated Sanity-Chapters Of Repugnance

Defeated Sanity pretty much sum up everything that a brutal death metal record should be in my opinion. Starting with what sounds like, Cannibal Corpse- Meat Hook Sodomy it breaks out from the standard mold of brutality and while it may not set new ground. Defeated Sanity sure as fuck make some of the heaviest riffs in the past ten years to hit your speakers from a new Death Metal act.
Very heavy tunes, that are sure to make your hair grow. The guitar sweeps on Introitus are very infectious and leave you wanting more. Which arrives in the form of a hacksaw to the skull in the form of, "Consumed By Repugnance". Sick vocals, great drumming add to the already brutal mix and find themselves perfecting in a way that few bands can pull off. By making songs of a brutal nature over three minutes not be repeating themselves but leaving you headbanging and wanting more. Highly suggested for fans of heavy tunes!
