vodka 666

First bottled on the 06.06.06 and is 66.6%

...Fuck, that's far too much effort just to make a slightly alternative vodka.

Not much more I say about it though that needs saying other than; its cheap, strong and "cool"

ConnectingFlight

So connectingflight are one of those bands that are fucking awesome and catchy and you have no idea whatsoever why they aren't way bigger in the music industry than they are right now! Sort of an indie/post hardcore mix but with an electronic edge which is a fucking potent mix! Three awesome guitarists add up to lift this sound above a lot of other bands making them fucking loud live!

Currently promoting newest EP which contains the single 'Fix' which was recorded by the legendary chris sheldon who has produced bands such as Reuben and Biffy Clyro so it's gonna be pretty fucking awesome.

Fix Ep release March 30th from only £3.99 - Details available via the blog on connctingflight's MySpace

For the sale of a BMX:

"This is a max wicked sick BMX. It's a Reliance Boomerang and it's done heaps of maximum extreme stunts. I have mostly done stunts on this bike since forever. Once I did a boom gnarly stunt trick on it and a girl got pregnant just by watching my extremeness to the maxxxx. Some details about sickmax BMX: Comes with everything you see including: TOPS AS SUSPENSION REAR FORKS!! 2 x wheels 1 x seat I will even thrown my sick BMXing name for FREE - Wicked Styx. Has minor surface rust on handlebars and front forks (easily removed). More rust on rear forks (as shown in pics). Tyres hold air but are pretty old.

The Lonely Island

Woah! Free boat ride for 3! Now who shall I take? Keith aaaaaaaand....T pain.



You can't stop me motherfucker 'cause I'm on a boat.

The Lonely Island are a band formed via Saturday Night Live in the USA (I think) and are absolutely fucking hilarious. Although somehow whilst been so funny they're also actually pretty fucking brilliant! It's all clever along with the humour. Love it.

Check out The Lonely Island.

Sex Panther

Illegal in nine countrys.
Made out of real panther.
Formidable scent.
Stings the nostrils...in a good way.
Works 60% of the time...every time.




Smells like a used diaper filled with indian food.
Smells like a turd covered in burnt hair.
Smells like bigfoot's dick.

Hit that shit up.

The Inbetweeners

Awesome! New series of The Inbetweeners starts in a week. Fucking love this! One of the best comedys on T.V. definately.

I just saw the advert for it and Neil is actually the fucking funniest person ever:

"What's your first choice?"
"Air plane driver"
"And that is?"
"Someone who drives airplanes!"
"You mean a pilot."
"...Do I?"

If you ain't seen it before it's a show about 4 losers; Will, Simon, Jay and Neil who are in sixth form and pretty much just get pissed, follow birds about and the rest...normal stuff but in a proper awkward way. Get on it. The Inbetweeners.

iDaft

Everyone loves Daft Punk (don't lie, you do). If you're here you've probably got a keyboard (don't lie, you do). Everyone loves HarderBetterFasterStronger by Daft Punk (fuck off lying).

iDaft

Fuck yeah! Use your keyboard to control samples of the vocals from that song. Go on, be a bastard and annoy fuck out of everyone using your keyboard while simultaneously sounding like a fucking badass.

Swoon

When it comes to graff I've always loved wheat pastes; I don't know what it is about them, they're much less risk but the detail the artists put in them is great. Secondly, I've always loved girl graffers, so...

Swoon

Swoon is awesome! A girl from new york who does fucking sick paste ups! Just normal people doing normal shit; riding bikes, sitting off, buying food...and that's why they're awesome.

Plus she's been going for six years and still ain't been caught; that's gotta mean something good.

Check out Swoon

Crystal City Clothing

This stuff is shit hot! I'm proper feeling this right now! Run by Johnny and Amy Whitney so that can be nothing but good. At the moment it seems mostly mens shit, hoodies and t-shirts and what not (The Laser Rain hoody is fucking sick) but have also started doing custom hand made items. No idea how much delivery to the UK is (or even if they deliver) so I'll update as soon as I stop being poor and get the money to order.

This City

Here's a band to check out. Seems like they're a proper love them or hate them type of band (I love them). Sound like a mix between at the drive in and Bloc Party with a bit of a pop twist but with Johnny Whitney from the Blood Brothers singing in a bit of a toned down way. This City.

They tour like bastards so its easy to catch them somewhere and they're fucking good guys! Plus they all have brilliant tattoos.

Check out We Move. Good tune.

Chester French

Who knew it? They're not just that band with the dickhead singer who married Peaches Geldof...They're actually pretty good.



However, I am not a fan of that bow tie.

Check out Chester French

Spirytus Monopolowy

Every once in a while the internet throws up something so fucking awesome that its hard to believe...

THIS

Yeah, a page full of the fucking best vodkas around (including 42 below (ordered)) is pretty cool...but even cooler is Spirytus Monopolowy (find it, they're in alphabetical order).

Ninety fucking Five percent Volume!
Surely that must be illegal.

Blek Le Rat

"Every time I think I've painted something slightly original, I find out that Blek Le Rat has done it as well. Only twenty years earlier..." (Banksy)

Blek is one of the coolest motherfuckers ever. Who needs Banksy when Blek has already done everything 20 years before him and is French? (Being French instantly makes him a cool motherfucker)

Not that I don't like Banksy, who doesn't? But Blek has the cool factor! Whilst Banksy was legging it round train stations painting the cars and pretending he invented stenciling, Blek was in fucking paris kicking ass since '81. No contest I reckon.

Check out Blek Le Rat
