Im Not Saying...

...that blonds with big glasses is a bad look. Well actually I am. It's hot girl weather outside today and all I'm seeing outside the shop is girls who look like they're fresh off of sorority row. Oh sure a ruffle skirt and polo shirt combo here and there don't hurt anyone and I'm fully prepared to eat my words if some banging girl comes into the shop rocking such clothing well but Carytown on the weekends might as well just be called West End/ Southside lite which means that popular clothing styles and the offenders will go together as well as crying and masturbation (those go together you jackasses). Of course there are exceptions to the rule and I'll take what I can get, but I'm tired of looking at Nikes and I am tired of expensive bleach and highlight jobs and big glasses. I would even be fine if the cop glasses came back into style, it would be a welcome enough change from glasses as big as your face. It was a nice oddity when you'd see one in ten girls wearing them, but now of course like most things its completely blown out. Now excuse my rant, I'm going to ride my fixed gear to the store for a 12'er of Tecate.

Sorry I couldn't get an adequate picture to illustrate my claim. Two reasons for this:

1. I don't care enough to go outside and try.
2. An image of its kind would reach critical mass and once captured on my digital memory card it would cause a chain reaction, not unlike "Little Boy" or "Fat Man" that would destroy Carytown if not all of Richmond.

Good Day.

The Machine

Remember kids it's not all fun and games out there in Blogland. Its hard trying to come up with something clever to say all the time and sometimes you just want to re-post things that you've seen somewhere else that maybe everyone hasn't seen yet. Today is one of those days, I would like to present one of the best youtube videos I have ever seen. Apparently it's from a Japanese television show. I came across this testament to the human mind on Hiroshi Fujiwara's blog this morning. Wait till you have the time to watch the whole thing, it's amazing.

HAPPY BELATED EASTER FROM CIVILIZE!

Went home to Virginia Beach this weekend for easter and my sister and my nephew were making easter cookies. Naturally, I joined in.

Sure I Stole It...

Danzig waxes poetic on literature. Man I'm so clever it hurts. Kids you now have your summer reading list, I want a 10 page paper detailing what you've learned and how it can be applied to everyday situations to make the world a better place. Due July seventh 2007.

This Weekend...

Be on the look out in Richmond for roving gangs of biker and mopeds. This weekend is, I believe, the fourth annual Slaughterama held by the cutthroats and Hell's Satan's "Fend for Yourself" rally. Hopefully in the coming days Ill have some pictures to post of some of the festivities.

Sweetest Video

Best rap song/ video I've heard/ seen all year! Soooooooo Sick. Don't tell your friends.

SALUTATIONS...

Here's a nice group of people that we heard about today. Their site is called TRENDMILL. Check them out. They were nice enough to post a link off of their main page to our site. Hats off to them.

So Whats Going On With You?

Not much here.

P.S. the new Hamburger Eyes Podcast is really good.

CIVILIZE LOOKBOOK NOW UP!

Update

I'm so stoked on this video. I actually have a copy of this on cd. I'm pretty sure J. Mascis was playing drums for them at the time. Pretty sick.

Its Hot In There

Typical

Ahhh Richmond in the spring time. The short month and a half before the humidity rises to upwards of 100% and the temperature follows suit. I've been spending all day trying to keep myself from taking any more benadryl AND keep the door of the shop open so I can enjoy this wonderful weather while I blast Charles Bronson, Descendants, blah blah I like old hardcore, probably to the chagrin of our neighbors. I wish I had brought my bike up to Richmond today.

let's say grace...

let's give thanks to all of our humble friends that have been helping us out.

Soft Ball

I'm all for The 300 and for Gerard Butler getting the popularity he so deserves (who didnt cry at the end of Timeline?). But A REMAKE OF ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK?!?!?! Thats fucking bullshit. The early John Carpenter films are classics and should never be remade. They're perfect as they are. That's like remaking Hairspray and casting some closet case like Travolta to take Divines place, oh...

TED TALKS

No, not Ted Theodore Logan, the OTHER TED, SILLY!!!
