Hot Stuff

Been wanting to get a new tattoo for a while now that was some sort of play on my dad's tattoos. He had a lot of em and one that I always thought was ridiculous and rad at the same time was "Hot Stuff"... the little devil. WTF? I guess that was the shit back in the day.

So, that's the one I'm doing, BUT I want to do a different version. I want to get a little devil (with a diaper) that is a vintage tattoo drawing style with some of my dad's features: handlebar mustache, tattoos, guns, cigarette and missing front teeth. Like Hot Stuff's fucked up cousin or something. Maybe instead of the pitchfork, he could be holding a shotgun or rifle. This would be Hot Stuff if he was from West Texas and into sex, drugs, hot rods and loud music, but still a baby?

Yeah. That sounds about right.

Roots

Chris Hall is amazing. Reminds me a lot of Dory Tourette (RIP) and that is a GOOD thing. Dory was the greatest.

Check out Chris HERE as Isaiah is helping him record some material.

"Just for the Fun of It"

this doesn't look "fun" to me. this looks like horror of the highest order:

Best Damn Commercial

Anyone who knows me should know that I LOVE this Burger King ad from 1978. Unfortunately, this is about the best video I could find of it. Just play it a few times and watch the glory of public outbursts. I want so badly to march into a Burger King with a gang of children singing this song and marching as hard as we can while holding a bag of shitty-ass burgers.

BTW, I will give Murder King props for at least having a veggie burger on the menu in every store around the country.

Bellers Bellers Bellers

Simply one of the best promos I've seen as of late. Man City have got some really creative forces working for them. Even if you hate Craig Bellamy, you have to admit this is top stuff. In this case, Chris Kay, Head of Marketing for MCFC. Paul Woodward, Editor. David Simpson, Creative Director, Music.

Stevie Wonder Doesn't Drive

Two recent commercials that use... what used to be... credible indie records. Great records that will now forever be tainted.

Really? Is this what we've come to? You sell your song before it's even a few years old? Is this the result of mass downloading for free? Is there nothing sacred to younger artists in this post-post-post-post modern world?

This was the best song of Veckatimest. Too bad. I was shocked to see it.



Spike Jonze using "Wake Up" in "Where the Wild Things Are" was perfect. Really fit with the film and was contributing to something artistic... couldn't The Arcade Fire have just been happy with that? What's worse is that I fucking hate American Football.




While you're at it, go look at Patrick Daughters great music video for "Two Weeks" and then try to forget you ever like the song.

Totally Jam

Can't deny it. The Jam were perfectly named.
