Eric Copeland: Fun Dink Death
The main man from Black Dice is droppin’ that solo shit. And it’s bangin’. Prepare your ears and eyes.
President Ventura: 2012
The world’s gonna end anyway right, why not elect the last guy you’d think of: Jesse Ventura. I know it seems crazy, but hear him out:
Mayor and I stumbled across the first of these videos and thought it was so awesome, we watched all his talk show appearances on YouTube. This man is a genius. He agrees with me on everything. And he’s been a Mayor, a Governor, and a Navy Seal. And with his pro wrestling experience, he’d know how to handle those jabronies in Washington. And After we got on our V kick, we discovered that dude had a new book out and was hittin’ the talk show circuit just two days before we discovered how rad he was. Peep:
Check out the rest of the Larry King interview (highly recommended) here. And if ya see some dude campaigning for Ventura 2012 out on the street, stop by and say hi to me.

Dead Serials: Playtime with Pedro
My film collective has a new short. It’s a magical adventure through the mind of a child. Starring me as a child and Mayor Prankster as Pedro, of South of the Border NC/SC border tourist trap fame. What sort of crazy things will happen when my keychain racist mascot comes to life and decides to be my friend? Watch and find out.
Babe Rainbow: Shave
Now that’s a band name I can really get behind. And it’s got one spooky cool video packed with a couple of babes (I dunno if they’re the band or just eye candy) exploring the woods, a cave, and perhaps their minds. I get a strong vibe that these ladies might be tripping their balls off. And it doesn’t look like it’s a pleasant journey. The song’s pretty good too, though it’s a little derivative of Fever Ray sans vocals.
Eleven &the Falcons: The Belles Of London
Oy. New Falcons vid, mates. They at it again. This go around, &the Falcons joined up with Dead Serials to produce this video for the tantalizingly tantalizing song “The Belles Of London” of their alpha EP release, Psychic Toothpaste/Ocean Ghost 7″ (avail. 4 FREE from KillerPOP Records). If you love graveyards and geese, you’ll fuckin’ love this ghost punk dirge.
Asheville Inspiration
I’ve been AWOL awhile. But I gotta good reason. I moved out of New York, that stinky shithole, and relocated to Asheville, NC with my collective-mates. To some it may seem like a downgrade, but the while the time I spent in New York was personally productive, I felt very limited in terms of creating something new within the community. With a little Electric Kool-Aid inspiration, and thoughts of a peaceful mountain town to disrupt with my sensibilities, I’ve come to this quirky little section of the Smokies to attempt to finally create a music/art community not just for myself and my friends, but for other like-minded individuals in the area. Ali and I have found a great house that Mayor will be joining us in soon, and we hope to turn it into a studio/recording/performance space for all our music and films, as well as those in the community. I’ll keep you posted as things progress, but for now I have to focus on getting a job. Know of any? In the meantime, here’s some new inspiration:
Wizarding World Of Harry Potter: First Look At The New Theme Park
Here’s the first photo released of the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter, opening this spring at Islands of Adventure in Orlando, FL. I can’t wait to make a roadtrip back home to go check this out. Read the press release at /film for more info.
