The TV’s Last Show

3 07 2008

Took these videos a few years ago. Someone gave me that huge rear projection TV and when it died we took it out to Chris D’Andrea’s parents house in BFE Ohio and demolished it. Nicky made a few homemade bombout of CO2 cartridges and gunpowder that did considerable damage. The TV’s last breath was squeezed out when 10 or so of us lined up, all strapped, and loaded about 150 bullets into it. Check out Darius in the background.

Then, like middle schoolers, we burned it.

Before all that happened, Nick Copeland tried to kick a ball through the screen and was horribly, horribly unsuccessful.

Check the nutmeg at the end.





Band of Horses - Live @ Glastonbury 2008

3 07 2008

Here is a clip of Band of Horses performing Older at Glastonbury. This track will be featured on their upcoming album. Thanks to Critical Acclaim for the video.

Both of the Band of Horses albums (Cease To Begin and Everything All The Time) have been in heavy rotation rotation here at The Grip headquarters. You might even go as far as saying they are “On The Hook.” They played a set at Glastonbury 2008 and I was lucky enough to find a copy of the MP3.

Cam’ron - Let The Beat Build Freestyle

2 07 2008

How nice of Cam’ron to give us something current. He drops a freestyle out of nowhere over Wayne’s Let The Beat Build. I’m hoping this is the start of something good. A new Cam’ron album would really make my summer complete.

Ice Cube - Do Ya Thang

2 07 2008

I love this old West Coast sound. One of my favorite ad-libs of all time was Cube yellin “WE BE CLUBBIN!” all over the Player’s Club soundtrack. This is a rough cut from his new video. I’m feeling his flow on this one.

12 Year Old Football Phenom

2 07 2008

This kid is a beast. People are comparing him to Reggie Bush and Barry Sanders ALREADY! This stuff was filmed last year so he’s probably around 13 years old now. All those kids on that field are crazy good. Kind of reminds me of a young Rob McMillen.





Tyson Gay Runs 100m in 9.68 sec!!!

2 07 2008

Tyson Gay just set the land speed record for a human being. Sadly, he was not given the world record because the wind was blowing too hard. I don’t really think the wind should have anything to do with a decision like that. Have you ever seen someone call back a hole-in-one in golf because the wind helped the ball? Get out of here and let that man enjoy the fact that he is the fastest human on the planet. The U.S. Olympic track and field team bills itself as “the hardest team to make” because of the depth of the fields and a pressure-filled format that gives Summer Games berths to the trials’ top three finishers in each event. At least he made the 2008 U.S. Olympic team!

Where the Hell is Matt?

1 07 2008

Matthew Harding spent 14 months visiting 42 different countries to make this video. This guy is an awesome party dancer. Sometimes people don’t understand what it takes to be a good party dancer. You just need some  energy and a few key moves and you’re set. You don’t have to be a contestant on America’s Best Dance Crew to party. Anyways, I don’t know where the guy got the money for this project but it’s definitely pretty cool.





Hamster Ball For Humans

1 07 2008

This is called the Buzzball. I don’t really want to go into how it works because it’s a pretty useless invention. I am pretty sure I would throw up all over that ball within 5 minutes of driving it around. I might reconsider riding it if Captain America went along for the ride.
