John Rambo Trailer - Holy F'n Shit!!!
This might be the most bad ass movie trailer I have ever seen in my entire life. I am so excited to see this movie after watching this. You just don't see gore like that in major film releases these days - fucking amazing.
You're Killing Me Gmail
Gmail...we need to have a little talk. You see, I rely on you every day to conduct my business. Without you I'm cut off from all that makes me money. So when you completely stop working it really does a number on me. Gmail, I don't want to leave you but your really making it hard to stick around. Twice in the past two weeks you've stopped working for me. Why? You're supposed to the best of the best. I need you to start performing for me again. I can't sit here all day with nothing to do and then have to play catch up tomorrow when you come back. Gmail...please get your shit together - you're starting to worry me.

High On Noise
Lots of stupid bands make stupid claims that their stupid music will get you off. But according to this report some noise can actually get you high...man. Kids all over the country are buying CD's on the internet that are supposed to get you stoned. Each track is supposed to have a different effect - weed, mushrooms, acid, etc. The CD costs $20 and comes unmarked, which I assume make it seem dangerous. Have kids gotten this fucking dumb? I guess it's good in a way - listening to "Heroin" is better then shooting heroin I suppose.
DWID (Integrity) = HolyTerror.com
Dwid, frontman for the legendary Integrity, is giving away downloads at his website every day. I downloaded the .zip packet that he has up today and it's a bunch of noise MP3's. Not a song to be found - I'm not sure what the point of it is. But Dwid is known for being a bit insane so I'm sure no mere mortal will ever quite figure that out.

Shindig 5/17
Last night I met up some of my people at 20 Warren Street for Shindig. Normally the cover for Shindig is $12-$15 but tonight the whole thing was sponsored by Going.com so it was free for all. Initially we thought their would be about 400-500 RSVPs but we were way off. By yesterday afternoon the list was at 1,025! When you consider the venue only holds about 250 people that's kinda scary.
Anyway, I got to Shindig around 8:30 but the doors weren't open yet. I hung around outside and talked to a few people I knew. About half an hour later the doors opened and the line formed to get in. I decided to stay outside because the room was in a basement and I was waiting for calls. Around 9:30 or so friends arrived and we headed down into the dungeon.
My first thoughts about the place were that it was smaller then I expected and that it was fucking hot in there. But the stage set up was really nice and the bands sounded good. The bar was wedged in a corner and there was a huge line to get a drink. One thing I miss about the other spots is you used to be able to pump your own beer but now you gotta get it from the bar dude.
Overall though everything was really awesome. The heat was brutal but it added to the party in many ways. Like for example the scantily clad females and the creepy naked old dude. Yeah, that's right - there was a dude in his 50's, or so, walking around completely ass naked except for shoes and socks. It was fucking hilarious, he was on the dance floor all night doing his thing.
It's been awhile since I've been to a Shindig and I have to say I forgot how awesome these parties are. I had so much fucking fun last night. I met a ton of cool people and ran into a lot of old friends. So next time you see a flyer about Shindig you better fucking be there.

Brooklyn Ski Club Super Blog (Writers?)
So I've been strapped for time and Ski Club is hurting because of it. Here's what I want to do, make Ski Club huge. To do that I need regular contributors with varied tastes in music and entertainment. All I ask is that you can contribute 1-6 posts per week and I also ask you don't suck. If you read the blog regularly you may have noticed that professional writing is frowned upon here. I want it to sound like you're talking to someone - there's enough blogs out there that read like fucking college term papers.
So send me an email and tell me about yourself and some bands you like. Also tell me about a few bands that aren't huge yet but you think should be. If you have writing samples on line then send me links.

Pretty Ricky Push It Contest = WTF?!?!?!
I can't even begin to try and figure out what this is all about. The hip-hop/R&B group Pretty Ricky have a contest on YouTube which encourages people to create their own air fucking videos. If that's not odd enough it seems like most participants decided to do this in teams.
These fucking videos are god damn creepy and you should proceed with caution.
I guess I just don't get hip-hop anymore - things sure have changed since the days of Biggie, Pac, and Wu-Tang. Is this shit even hip-hop? Sounds like some R. Kelly shit to me.

Mountain Goats Played @ Soundfix Last Night
Last night John Darnielle, of the Mountain Goats, played a free show at Soundfix in Williamsburg. This was the first show at Soundfix since they renovated the joint. I got to the show around 9:30 and when I turned the corner there was a huge crowd outside. The windows were down and you could hear pretty well from the street, where most of the crowd was.
I didn't actually make it inside and I'm kind of happy about that. From what I hear the place was a fucking sauna. Outside it was nice and cool and the sound coming out of the back window was pretty good. At some point a damn ice cream truck parked at the corner and had the ice cream music blasting. This was funny because five minutes before I was joking about that happening. Eventually somebody told the guy to turn the fucking music off.
The cops did a few drive-bys but never hassled anyone, which was a surprise considering the crowd was literally standing in the street. The show was awesome despite several screw-ups during songs. At one point John stopped mid song and yelled "Fuck, I fucking fucked up the 3rd verse... Badly!" And then went right back into the song. Honestly shit like that actually adds to the charm of a small show like this.
Like I said I didn't make it inside but I found some shots on Flickr that should suffice.

Trent Reznor Before NIN...
Back in the day Trent was in a band called the Exotic Birds. They were very Flock Of Seagulls-esque. I have a feeling some of you already know this but you may have not seen this video. Trent was also in the bands The Innocent and Option 30.
