Russia’s 9/11 Memorial Gift to the USA: Tear of Grief
10-story high sculpture given to the US by the Russian government. Located at the Peninsula at Bayonne Harbor as a memorial to those that died in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The large polished titanium teardrop to represent the tears in Moscow shed for the 9/11 victims. A constant flowing of water which causes the sculpture to appear to weep.

I Wanna Know Where The Gold At!
I can’t believe I forgot to post this until now. This is perhaps the greatest St. Patrick’s Day YouTube video out there.
We have the original video (which is good) and the remix (which is gold).

St. Patrick’s Day Dart Tournament Today @ Grimers

WARNING: this picture was taken two weeks ago. Wes Keyes hit three clutch bulls eyes to beat Paul in a match that will be remembered forever.
Grimers Adult Recreation Facilities is hosting their first annual 2009 St. Patrick’s Day Dart Tournament. We will be playing singles and doubles tournaments. I’m pretty sure Pat is already drinking but most of us are heading over there around 5. Bring some drinks and some darts if you have them.
OJ Da Juiceman – Washing Powder Video
Some rappers look hilarious when you see them without a hat on. OJ looks like a chameleon to me. I will never, ever grow tired of watching people play with stacks in their videos. Half the time you can tell they are fake but the stacks in here look legit.
Shouts to TSS for the video.

I still use MS paint.

Man Climbs 50ft Cross, Gets Naked, Poops On It

Dude is definitely going to hell.
“An unidentified naked man sits atop a cross on the West Bethel Presbyterian Church in Los Angeles as fire paramedics and police try to talk him down for seven hours.
From 8 a.m. to around 3:15 p.m. yesterday, an unidentified nude twentysomething man, reported to be suicidal, sat 50 feet in the air atop the cross at West Bethel Presbyterian Church on La Brea Ave. between Wilshire and Olympic. He finally came down after a seven hour confrontation with the fire and police departments (including SWAT), who had placed an air cushion on the ground in case he fell and a ladder for him to climb down on, which he used.
A witness told KTLA that the man told her he was “protesting against Christianity.” He apparently climbed up clothed, but stripped and threw his clothes down. His only request during the standoff was a towel to wipe his hands clean after wiping his waste on the cross. An officer told the TV station that one of the crimes he would be arrested for was defacing a church, which is a felony.”

Empire of the Sun – Walking on a Dream (Treasure Fingers Remix)

This song kind of has a Hercules and the Love Affair sound to it. Loving this right now.

Claude Lelouch’s Rendezvous
“On an August morning in 1978, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted a gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Ferrari 275 GTB and had a friend, a professional Formula 1 racer, drive at breakneck speed through the heart of Paris. No streets were closed, for Lelouch was unable to obtain a permit.”
Hooligans Never Surrender
Brand new video from Don Diablo. Might be the hardest dance song I’ve ever heard. Listen at 2:15 and prove me wrong.
The video was criticized on its violent character by the media long before the official release, after a set video had leaked on the internet. Don Diablo responded on the criticism as presumptuous. Don: ”I think this video gives a good representation of what goes on in my head when I am asleep, it’s like a drug free LSD trip for pros.”
MORRISEY + HOMAGE
Spotted @ The Weedsteeler Blog.
This is from an interview he did with Filter Magazine. Apparently he wore the shirt for the whole spread.
Congrats to the Homage crew. Hard work pays off!

Patrick Ewing Can Still Dunk
I really would like to see a video of him trying to dunk. His knees were so bad for the last 5 years of his career I can’t imagine how unstable they are now.
Mugshots of Arrested Phish Fans Released, Many Surprising Faces
SIKE. Just as I suspected.
A bunch of dirty hippies.
I can picture the cops working the 10 mile stretch of highway, pulling over every dready they see.
There are a ton of them up on Thesmokinggun.com.






Better Than Ice Cream, Vol. 16 by Wes K.

It’s important to rotate your music, the old stuff gets lost as the new replaces it. It’s not that you want to forget it, there’s just so much good music. I’m very guilty of this, every so often I go through my iTunes and pull out things I haven’t listened to in a while. I came across Kings Of Convenience the other day and forgot how much I really dig their sound, and wondered what they’ve been up to. Kings consists of Erlend Øye and Eirik Glambek Bøe of Bergen, Norway (you know my thoughts on Norwegians). Ill feelings aside, Kings don’t really do much together anymore but there is talk of a new album/tour in the works.
Erlend Øye is living in Berlin working on a side project The Whitest Boy Alive. They put out their first album Dreams in 2006 and have followed that with Rules being released this month. Everything Erlend has put out is great, The Kings albums are good and The Whitest Boy Alive’s two releases are f-ing addictive. Rules has been the soundtrack for my week, seriously infectious beats and Erlands voice is so mellow. As far as shows go, I wouldn’t look for anything state side in quite a while. Check out their myspace profiles and websites for info, albums and stuff. You wont be able to get Rules from Amazon till the end of this month but it’s available through the bands label www.bubblesforsale.com if you happen to know German! (just kidding, theres an English text option) I wonder what something with them and Wale would sound like?
By the way, trying to pick only two songs for this was very hard.

The Homewrecker
A fifteen inch deep-fried hot dog topped with jalapeños, habanero chili sauce, coleslaw, diced tomatoes and a mound of cheese.
I take this one personally because I do not have the ability to turn down a good chilidog, and this thing looks like it could feed a family of 4.
