I was turned onto Thunderheist when Brodie (Huw’s Furry Loverboy) dropped me a few tracks… I love sexy-mess-quasi-ghetto-chic MC/songtresses and Isis is that girl. Isis may be the Thunder, but the Heist is DJ GrahamZilla who steals the ground from under your feet with his sweet electro grooves. Thunderheist’s debut self title drops like right fucking now, so go get it [cd, mp3, vinyl]
I know that dogs may be great to cuddle up with, but cats are a hell of a
lot softer. And if you manage to snag a codependant kitteh, you’ll have all
the feline snugglin you could ever ask for. #snap
If you come to Club Marcella, and I take your video whilst you be pole dancing, its either:
My favorite pants company evar, Bonobos, just put out a little promo video explaining where pants came from and why their pants rule. You should totally watch the whole thing (in HD, duh); at the end is a coupon code for a discount on your first sweet pair.
There is a new DIY platform in town, and its a MUTT. I first read about the MUTT last year, but didn’t give it a whole lot of thought until my buddy Yosiell sent me a photo of his Monster Hunter custom (read on). The MUTT consists of a simple boxy design, made of PVC, and looks rather like a squatty dog with no face.
I think the new platform is bombass. There is so much potential for creation and you aren’t limited to an existing form that you have to work around (like the Munny, Dunny, or BUD, etc.)…
MUTT – what separates MUTT from the rest is that
MUTT is designed specially for toy customizers
and artists. this is not another blank D.I.Y. version
of a production toy… this is a 3D canvas just
waiting for accessories/sculpt/paint/and
anything else you can throw at it!
And accesories! The MUTT has over a dozen attachments available, and instead of hunting around for blind boxes with the parts you need, you can purchase ears, arms, noses, sunglasses, and more right from the MUTTstore.
If the standard MUTT isn’t right for you, then you can buy a bank… whats cooler than a custom toy to hold your custom toy fund savings? And if that isn’t what you’re looking for, the Monster Hunter will cure all your ills…
"Old Man Winter" by Yosiell Lorenzo (Project Detonate)
The above awesomeness was created by my buddy Yosiell from Project Detonate. The Monster Hunter is a variation of the MUTT, stuffed and mounted on a PVC plaque… Not many designer toys that you can hang on the wall; this is the perfect DIY for designers and collectors without a lot of shelf space.
Old Man Winter was created as part of a show for Planet Comic Con in Kansas City Saturday March 28th and Sunday March 29th. Other artists doing Monster Hunters (these are the premiere custom designs) are Tyler (who owns the MUTT platform), Monster Decay, Matt Sharp, and Trenton. Monster Hunter will ship on the 28th of March, and you can order one now from the MUTTstore for $29.99.
Everyone should definitely check out Project Detonate. Yosiell is priming to blow up as a killar customizer; he already does amazing paintings its only natural he move to toys… He was recently featured in ToyCyte’s CustoMonday with a set of Yeti Dunny’s and there are only 3 left… get one for $50. Its soo worth it.
Every now and again this HBdJ alum pops up at the downtown stop. I’m sure
he’s gay; I’ve caught his timid glances once or twice. And his shoes, that I
unfortunately didn’t get in the frame, are quite queerly scalloped. But I
won’t talk to him… I’m afraid that any high pitched noises that are bound
to emanate from his lips will surely spoil his appeal. Its the shoes, that’s
how you tell a sassy bottom. #snap
The scrollwheel skid to a stop on this one as I was browsing through the Uncrate feed. I have this perseverant (say: per-seh-ver-ent) phrase of late and its “I’ll punch you in your face.” Mostly, I say (and do) it to my cat Skylar, but I’ve been slipping it out as a term of endearment when talking to John.
Printed on American Apparel Sustainable Edition shirts, and put sold by Little Paper Planes, “Haymaker” puts me in a punchy mood. I wanna wrastle…

The Bloody Beetroots are my superheroes of Electro. Add a little Steve Aoki, some slow-mo HD cinematography, and a whole bunch of hipsters… have a good time.
Andy looks tough (maybe), but put him in the spotlight and he’ll giggle. Not
often I get to see him up in a ladder, so I #snap whenever I get a chance.

Fucked Up is the name of one of the most incredible Hardcore band rocking everywhere these days. I don’t listen to a ton of hardcore, but I know one thing: front man Damian Abraham AKA “Pink Eye”, is a woofy, scary (in a hot way) heterobear.
I’ve been compiling information about a new classification of straight men called heterobears… essentially the fat and furry version of the metrosexual. Heterobears don’t have to have fashion sense or be feminist, though a lot of them like to color match, or at least try. I’ll save the actual description for its own post, but one key part of being a heterobear is that you have to be tagged by a gay bear to be one. Until then, a heterobear may never realize his own hotness on his own, and is just a tubby straight dude. There’s a lot more to this, but lets get back to Damian.
Damian is a seriously oggleable piece of beef, and he makes it real easy to see. He has a habit of stripping down, mooning the crowd, and exposing his “mangina” in the middle of his shows… I won’t post a pic of his mangina (cause its creepy) but I bet you get the picture. I’ve read a bunch of interviews about him, and you wouldn’t believe that this forehead cutting, screaming, crowd surfing rocker took up Gender Studies in school. He’s seriously smart and I dig his style…
Speaking of style, he’s a big fan of Mishka, and the boys at the Bloglin managed to get him for five questions. You should definitely read it, and pay attention to question 4:
4. You’re known for getting near naked or completely naked during your live sets… is it a purely confrontational aspect of the performance or are you making a statement?
I think it is more of a comfort thing. I take off my shirt because I get hot. I’m 300 pounds and when I’m moving around under those lights I get heated like a motherfucker. For years I was ashamed of my body: like I would leave my shirt on during sex ashamed. But at one show in Texas, I got so hot that I couldn’t bear it and I took off my shirt. After the show, a friend of mine (who is a “bear” ) told me how great I looked without my shirt and that was all the push I needed. I guess now there is an element of statement to it, like: be proud of who you are no matter what you look like, but that was secondary. The moons and “mangina” stuff is a part of performance. Shoving my balls between my legs is not comfortable in the least.
There you have it. According to my new theory, Damian is an official heterobear for owning his bearlike qualities, and he has real bear friends. He’s from Toronto, of course he has bear friends… If you like Hardcore or wanna take a dip on the wild side, go pick up “The Chemistry of Common Life.”
