4 way off genre but awesome covers of metal songs (and one shitty one)
-Enter Sandman, easy listening smooooth jazz style. With original vocals and concert footage.
(Hang in there 'til the vocals kick in)
-Rad chicks doin an acoustic danzig cover
(Devil Plaything)
-Reggae style Detroit Rock City. Suprisingly well done. Also with original vocals and concert footage.
-8 bit raining blood. Slayer VS nintendo.
-Sabbatum (not to be confused with fucking awesome power metal band Sabaton), a band that has a whole album of Black Sabbath covers played on medieval instruments and sung in Latin. It sucks.
Johnny Cash doing Danzig, and yes I know he covered "hurt" from NIN also but they suck so fuck them. He owns that shit now.
Tune in next week for awesome metal covers of way not metal songs.
*UPDATE-
ACDC old school jazz style "She Shook Me All Night Long"
War Pigs, by the flaming lips and cat power
Flaming Lips (ft. Cat Power) - War pigs

Thrashin Thursday Vol. 3
-Videos are starting to come in for the second annual Skate and Create and so far, it looks like its gonna be a doozy. First up is DVS with their submission, titled/themed "Wood". Truly dazzling.
If you have never heard of this series, I strongly recommend that you youtube "skate and create" and work your way through all of the entries from last years contest. It is one of the best things to happen to skateboarding since viva la bam went off the air.
-Crutchskate. If it were up to me, this would be called a cripflip to boardslide. Respect.
-Some next level dorkskating, courtesy of shred dudes Halldor and Eiki's collab blog
An excellent blog that also brought back some memories by digging up this gem
-One of the better installments of an excellent new series of new lakai commercials. Hilarious. Check out "Floating Camera" also.
-Skatebird. Sure why not.
-Thrasher mag was ripped by infamous rippers Urban Outfitters.
The OG thrasher one is on the top. But you already knew that right? A for effort guys. For more UO douchbaggery check out urban counterfeiters
-The year was 1978. 80's hair metal was about to rip out of the womb where it had been incubating in small clusters since the mid 70s. Dokken, Ratt, Whitesnake and probably a few more bands with ümlats and double consonants were born. Maiden had just recorded their first demo. Crüe was rising in popularity faster then the drug, swimming pool and vomit induced body count of their musical predicessors. And in Bloody olde England, people were fuckin' riding skateboards.
-On that note, I present the Skatar-
-Mullen still skates? Who knew. No offense but does anyone care?
And last but not least, check out the "Ollie Buster". Jump to around 1:34 to see how much this thing rules. And by rules, I mean sucks more shit then a metaphore for sucking shit that I can't even come up with.

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."
2 more reasons to mock hipsters-
Hipster Runoff(Pretty much the authoritative hipster blog from what I can tell)

Look at this fucking hipster
Also if you have never seen this, do it now. Chances are if you are reading this blog, you either know these dudes or are one.

Great Moments in Drug Smuggling
"Mexico's navy has seized more than a ton of cocaine stuffed inside frozen sharks, as drug gangs under military pressure go to greater lengths to conceal narcotics bound for the United States."
Frozen Sharks. They were literally smuggling over a TON of Mexico's finest inside FROZEN SHARKS. When I was a wee lad I would perform various cryogenics experiments, using slugs, various insects, worms, and whatever else was readily accessible in or around my backyard and would fit into the freezer. The only thing that ever really survived were the wasps, and I eventually figured out through trial and error that after about 15-20 mins in the freezer, I would end up with a formerly savage and ferocious yellow jacket at my complete and total mercy for approximately 5 minutes, after which it would groggily begin twitching and then take flight and try to stab me in the eye. Turns out wasps do not give a good god damn about science.I had an unlimited supply of subjects, as our back porch had a severe infestation. My experimentations included occasionally tying floss around the abdomens and holding the string as they slowly awoke to realize that they had become my little captives. Holding a piece of floss tied around an angry P.O.W. wasp set on kill with nothing to lose is a great way to spend an evening. I taught myself how to remove the stingers and incapacitate the jaw while the wasps were still unconscious, the final product being an adorable harmless, domesticated pet wasp. Turns out they make great pets and are excellent for traumatizing my brother. The relevance of all this to Encyclopedia Jones and the Case of the Mexican Frozen Shark Smugglers, is this hypothetical scenario. Say, these sharks had not been previously killed, and were instead sedated and hastily stuffed to the gills with excessive amounts of high grade narcotics and then flash frozen and loaded on the ship. Say the refrigeration unit failed, during a storm, or because of faulty wiring or whatever else. The Sharks start to thaw. They groggily awake and start flopping about a bit. Then, they realize that they have been packed with more cocaine then five peak era Motley Crue's combined. Fuck snakes on a plane, this is STRUNG THE FUCK OUT MEXICAN SHARKS ON A BOAT.

Questionable Ideas, Part 1
Who knew crest spinbrushes could skate, in addition to making awesome prison style tattoo guns? I wanna party with this toothbrush.
And first and foremost, Iron Maiden cares about dental hygine. Eddie says "Brush your teeth kids!"
What's cooler then fingerboarding? digital fingerboarding.
That actually looks like it kind of rules.
Love biking, more then just a friend and want the world to know?
Red Bull's snowscrapers ain't got nothin on these.
Surfs up
Oh, didn't you hear about the oakley X lego collab?
Fear and Loathing, the home game!
Yo dawg, I heard you like skateboard trucks, so I put trucks in your trucks so you can skate while you skate
Gwar wheels
Fuck 20 inch rims, I want these motherfuckers.
or these
And he still manages to get the grab. Good form.
Tarantula trucks. Yep.
Chinstrap beard not included.

A questionable variation on a familiar theme
Introducing "streetboarding".
I am going to withold judgement on this until travis rice takes it to the megaramp. If this is what it takes for a double cork on a skateboard to happen, so be it.

Loopity Loop
Throughout history, humans have wanted to make shit go around loops. But fuck history man, lets live in the now. Technology has allowed us to send shit around loops that our ancient ancestors could have only dreamed of in their wildest dinosaur meat induced food comas. Lets take a deeper look into this fascinating and retarded chapter of mankind.
The first time it was introduced to the mainstream, (rollercoasters, matchbox cars and twisty straws aside) was probably when bob burnquist started fucking around with one back when bam still had street cred and the x games were a joke. Bob did it first, he did it switch, he took the top off, he did it by pumping a full pipe,
he did it in on the sun, blah blah blah whatever. So basically, nose manny'ing it and doing it in a hand stand aside, its played to death as far as skateboarding is concerned. But has the rest of the world been sitting idly aside, living vicariously through Bob? Fuck no. Errr'bodys tryin to git sum.
minibike
I've been informed this was actually somewhere just outside of govy, but no conformation.
Sketchy backyard rollercoaster
car
Another car
waterslide (bogus)
Techdeck
Jumprope
That's probably enough for now. Other loops of interest that I couldn't track down include: Some dudes made a huge snow loop in an old straightjacket movie and someone looped it (Jeff Anderson maybe?) and then it collapsed on someone and they got pretty jacked up. I saw a video of a kid almost making it all the way around on a swing set but getting jacked up. Homer did one on a tricycle in the simpsons, I seen a froot booter do one I think, etc whatever. Fuck loops.
Things people still need to do with loopity loops: Run around one, rollerskates, razor scooter, pogo stick, make a loop that is just a rail and do it on soap shoes while being on fire and drinking mountain dew, etc.
How to sell your soul for fun and profit
Tony Hawk has not one but two "bigspin" rollercoasters opening across the country. Also a "Tony Hawk's Halfpipe Waterslide" is already open.
Rollercoasters are the new video games apparently. Oh wait, he also has THIS coming out.

No word on whether it will be Skate 2 compatible. Regardless of how much it may or may not suck, it can't be worse then that piece of shit Shawn White wii game. Make monaymonay Make monay MoNAY

This will make your heart explode.
Over 13 red bulls worth of caffeine in 2 ounces. Literally pure liquid caffeine. It's only a matter of time before some young entrepreneur discovers this and makes a killing selling vials of this on the playground during 6th grade recess. Or before I start doing that.
**UPDATE-
Never one to be outdone, Red Bull Cola was found to contain trace amounts of cocaine. BEST PUBLICITY EVER. Your move purecaf. Coming soon, "Red Bull Energy Nose Powder"
Too strung out from snorting lines of dried up redbull cola to shut your jittery bloodshot energy eyes? Introducing "Drank:The Anti Energy Drink."
Slow your roll indeed.
*EDIT-"Health Canada issued a warning about Hardcore Energize Bullet liquid energy drink... The reason for the recall was because one vial was found to have been subject to tampering, Health Canada said...A utility knife blade was found in one vial of each product, the FDA said."
