Dash Snow, July 27, 1981 - July 13, 2009

Legendary NY wildman, outsider artist, photog, party guy extraordinaire, graf writer and all around odd duckling Dash Snow died last week. He was 27.



Excellent article about the bizarre, depraved, decadent life of Dash from New York Magazine HERE

Castaway, shred style

Former obscure swiss big mountain pro Xavier Rosset

spent 300 days completely alone on an equally obscure, remote, uninhabited tropical island. By choice. His only luggage was the clothes he was wearing, a swiss army knife, machete and a video camera (solar powered?). Says Xavier of his only companion on the island, a wee piglit he captured:

"I couldn't eat it because there wasn't enough meat so I took it with me and she stayed with me for three months...She was exactly like a dog. She was a very good friend for me but I didn't talk to her like (Tom Hanks) talked to the volleyball in the movie Castaway." (insert deliverance reference here)

Respect. You sir, are a badass. Documentary coming soon.

"Steve Jobs has never been shy about his use of psychedelics, famously calling his LSD experience "one of the two or three most important things I have done in my life."

Hipster Holiday

Awesome article/analysis of hipster culture

"An artificial appropriation of different styles from different eras, the hipster represents the end of Western civilization – a culture lost in the superficiality of its past and unable to create any new meaning. Not only is it unsustainable, it is suicidal. While previous youth movements have challenged the dysfunction and decadence of their elders, today we have the "hipster" – a youth subculture that mirrors the doomed shallowness of mainstream society."
