SF Myspace Secret Show Tomorrow

Brand New and special guests @ Bottom of the Hill on April 1st. Doors open at 7pm. It's free and all ages. Bottom of the Hill is a pretty small venue, so you'll probably have to stand in line for hours if you wanna get in. WARNING: You'll probably have to battle hundreds of little kids to get into this shit.

Huf Set Skate Seshy

Nothing much to blog about today, so kick back and enjoy this skate clip of SF mogul Huffy Huf man himself.

Rock The Bells Presale Info

Presale is on right now! Go to ticketmaster and search for Rock The Bells. Pre-sale password is: GUERILLA. If you're smart, you'll figure out how to read this invisible password.

Dailymotion vs. YouTube

I finally signed up for a Dailymotion account and it seems pretty dope so far. I can't seem to figure out how to add my fuckin Blogger account to my account in Dailymotion though. It won't accept my Blogger username and password for some reason. Post a comment if you have any tips on linking a Blogger account to a Dailymotion account. I think it has something to do with the old and new Blogger account styles. I tried using both username / password combos, and both didn't work. bleh. Now it won't even let me paste the code into this stupid blog. Back to the GooTube...

Rock The Bells Full Lineup Announced

Can you say holy shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite?!? dope dope dope. I think Rock the Bells has trumped Coachella's Sunday lineup. Tickets on sale this Sat. at 10am.

It's Time To Party

I've been MIA from the SF party scene for a while now, but it's time to come out of the woodworks this Friday night. You should too! Let's all party together. My homies Brown Majic and Suite have put together a shindig at the one and only Poleng Lounge going down this Friday night. It's $5 before 11pm and $10 afters. So come early especially if you wanna catch Ya Boy JP's DJ set! haha that dude is hilarious.

Clean Up Your PC

Sorry, for missing a post again yesterday. I had my first real personal training sesh yesterday after work and my personal trainer kicked my ass! After that, I didn't have the energy to do anything except stare at the ceiling. Anyways, on to today's post....

You clean your room every room/house once in a while, right? So why not clean your PC every once in a while too? Keep that buggah running in tip top shape. Yadadamean? CCleaner is an awesome free tool that can make cleaning your PC fast and easy. You can download it at www.ccleaner.com.

At The End Of A Gun

ohhhhhhhhhh I love me some good ol Hot Water Music...



Chuck Ragan (ex-HWM singer/guitarist) has a new live album dropping on May 8th on Side One Dummy. He also just finished recording a full length studio album which will be dropping in the fall on Side One Dummy. What's up with Side One Dummy picking up all the punk scene leftovers from the past decade? Chuck Ragan (he counts cause he was in HWM), MXPX, Piebald, etc. I'm surprised Lifetime's new full length didn't drop on Side One Dummy. I referred to those bands as "punk scene leftovers" because all of those bands once had their shine in the now defunct punk scene. Well, the scene doesn't seem to exist anymore. If it does, it's a whole different ball game now. Technology is definitely what killed the scene as I know it. I'm not complaining. Just sayin. D.I.Y. brah!

I Can Stop Watching The AI Now

Hot damn, I was way friggin off this year. Kdens Steph Eds. Kdens American Idol. Catch you on the flipside.

On another note, tickets for Bjork at Shoreline Amphitheatre go on sale this Sat. @ 10am. If I find out about a presale, I'll post the info tomorrow.

Wack Wack Wack Wack Wack

Am I the only one that thinks Blake Lewis is wiggity wiggity wack? I thought his rendition of The Zombies' "Time of the Season" was the epitome of wackness. But for some reason the judges ate that shit up.


Melinda hasn't even hit the stage yet, but I'm gonna say that either baldy or the Evanescence chick is going home tomorrow. Vanilla Blake's time will be up soon, but not yet.

From Kailua To Hollywood

National Product a.k.a NP is finally making some moves in the biz. yadadamean? I remember seeing these frikkas at backyard BBQs in Kaneohe, HI like 10 years ago. NP has a new album coming out this summer and they just released a video for Sean's Song via YouTube. Reminds me a little of Aphasia's "Flatline" which was featured in the blockbuster film War of the Worlds.

SXSW Is The Only Party

First of all, sorry for no blog post yesterday. I took a road trip to Lake Tahoe for a snowboarding sesh. Nobody reads this thing on the weekend anyways.

People who've never been to SXSW don't understand how fuckin awesome it is. I'm kicking myself right now for not attending this year. Even though none of my homies couldn't afford to go, I shoulda just gone solo. Next year it's on no matter what! Here's some clips from this year's SXSW madness:

I Love Punk Rock

I learned a lot about life from growing up on punk rock. I embraced a lot of the ideologies, but I also laughed at a lot of it. Anyways, I still love the music even though I'm getting fuckin old. I found a band called Black President today on myspace. Pretty good 90s esque punk band featuring members of Bad Religion, Unwritten Law, and Goldfinger. I used to really like all 3 of those bands when I was in high school. haha yeah go ahead and laugh at me. I laugh at myself for liking those bands. I actually still really like Bad Religion though. As for the others... ah not really. You can check out some of their songs here:

Black President myspace

There's a midnight showing going down tommorow night at the IMAX in San Francisco. Check Fandango for midnight showings going down in your area. This is going to be a perfect opportunity for me to experience the IMAX for the first time. That's if I can get a friggen ticket with a decent seat!

After SNL, you can watch some 30 Rock episodes online at http://www.nbc.com/Video/rewind/. Make it a kick back, relax, and spend no money night.

Hallelujah Hollaback It's Friday!

The best day of the week to screw the workout session and indulge in some beer and food! So get your friends together and get happy with a happy hour sesh. I recommend Sushi Rock's happy hour. It's from 3:30-6:30 at all locations in SF. 50% off all drinks and 25% off all appetizers. Get the Asahi Black if you're looking for an instant smile. It's only a buck seventy five during happy hour!

There was a 4.2 earthquake about an hour ago that shook my bed for a quick minute while I got my weekly fix of Survivor. Shit went down in the East Bay. More info here.
