Just discovered this wonderful gem via the Quantum Mechanix site, based on a design by BSG CG designer, Dustin Adair. Just placed my order for the pre-order. Get in!
In other non-related news, my t-shirt company is coming along slowly but surely. My ecommerce site needs a little more tweaking but i’ve just commissioned a character [...]

My website is complete….finally

Update: So, my ecommerce site is finally done and damn, it’s looking pretty good imo. I shelled out a pretty penny for it but sadly I can’t show it to the world as I don’t have any tees printed up just yet. Yes, i’m being a perfectionist about it but in good time you’ll get [...]

It’s Spring, bitches!

It’s getting warmer outside, the birds are chirping and the sun is finally starting to rear its head after a dismally cold winter. In in the meantime, i’ve been holed up in the house contemplating my future. It boils down to this – i’ve decided i’m going to get off my dead ass and [...]

my new Rooney badger brush

In order to stimulate the economy I decided I needed to order that badger brush i’ve been obsessing about for the past month and a half. I wound up buying the style 1 small Rooney badger brush from classicshaving.com for $55 + shipping. Looks like I lucked out and got the last one too. I [...]

Starbuck’s Fresh Roasted Cylon

Looking for that perfect gift for the ultimate Battlestar Galactica geek? Came across this awesome coffee mug lastnight:

Is it Spring yet?

It would appear that Vadim Music has decided to reissue some highly sought after Serge Gainsbourg classics, namely, the La Horse 7″ and the Mister Freedom 7″. I’m not too excited by the Mister Freedom 45 but the La Horse 7″ is a keeper, mainly because it features arrangements by the wonderful Jean-Claude Vannier. An [...]

New t-shirts!

Lastexittonowhere.com have just revamped their website and added 4 new shirts to their line. I have to admit, I really like the Hans Tournament tee from Enter The Dragon. The downside, he’s raised his prices a little which is kind of infuriating, especially during a recession. Either way, i’ll eventually buy more of his tees [...]

the media vs the economy

The world’s current economic woes are starting to crumble at a time when people should be spending more money. I’m one of the lucky few who has managed to hold onto his job until all of this blows over….if it blows over. With that said, the media does a fairly good job at drumming up [...]

Battlestar Frakkin’ Galactica

BSG is on its final leg and things are continuing to get bleak. Tom Zarek and Felix Gaeta incite a mutiny aboard Galactica and seal their own fates through the barrel of a gun. Poor Felix. At first I hated him for turning on Adama but then you start to realize that he’s human and [...]

Hymn to the Immortal Wind

One of my favorite postrock bands, Mono, is releasing a new album next month called “Hymn To The Immortal Wind” and it’s bound to be great. Apparently it will feature a 28 piece orchestra — this isn’t particularly new for them but i’ve always been fond of orchestral sounds when used properly. Anyway, Temporary Residence [...]

I’m officially a wetshaving noob

I finally broke down and bought myself a swanky safety-razor for my personal grooming needs. In short, I got tired of using shitty disposables and wanted something that would last a lifetime, not to mention give me a precision shave. After weeks of research I decided to buy the Merkur Classic. This is a German [...]

Minotaur Shock!!

Minotaur Shock’s new album, “Amateur Dramatics” finally gets a physical cd release. Unfortunately for you non-’Merkins this is a US release only. Comes with 2 bonus cuts to boot. Buy it here.

music, t-shirts, shoes, etc…

It’s been awhile. I’m notoriously slow when it comes to blogging, partly because I get bored easily and also because blogs tend to get fairly dull, especially when reading inane ramblings of a stranger.
With that said, things couldn’t be better. I still have my job which is always a good thing. In my infinite boredom [...]

President Obama, we salute you!

Yay for change. Ok, so i’m a little slow posting this but it was inevitable. After suffering for the last 8 yrs under Neocon rule I can finally say, thank fuck it’s over. Obama creamed McCain in the general election and then some, now it’s time for him to clean up the mess left behind [...]

more new shoes

Just picked up these bad boys on ebay today for $42 with shipping. Wasn’t a fan at first but the more I looked at them the more I liked them. Get in!!

i’m alive

That’s right, folks, i’m back once again with nothing to say. Well, the missus and I did buy a house recently so I guess that’s something. The upside to having your own house is 1) absolute privacy 2) getting my own “record room” and 3)getting to watch the squirrels and rabbits run around my yard. [...]

I heart Adidas

I love Adidas. Just ordered the ZX 500’s from Endless.com because Zappos were out of my size. They do free overnight shipping too if you’re looking for an alternative.

*CONTAINS BSG SPOILERS*
So, Battlestar Galactica is heating up quite nicely. Just when things get going with the Cylon civil war, they go and kill off Calli. BALLS! Ok, Calli was always a peripheral character on the show but you came to like her the way you come to like any tv character. She had [...]

Can’t Be Funky

Don’t know what compels me to seek out certain albums by certain bands but one such band is the Bush Tetras. I found out about the Bush Tetras after hearing a cover version of Can’t Be Funky by Richard Sen, aka Bronx Dogs, released on Illicit Recordings back in 2002. His is a more dance [...]

Frakking Awesome!!

The first episode is called, “He That Believeth In Me” and continues where the season 3 finale left off. Starbuck has returned from the dead and four of the final five cylons [...]

back from the dead

Don’t know why I bother with a blog. I’m not really a fan of blogs, nor do I enjoy writing about the mundane things going on in my life, which usually amounts to nothing. Guess it passes the time.
So, what have I been doing with my time? Playing Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, that’s [...]

TV….and stuff

I’m a huge Battlestar Galactica fan and have been preparing myself for season 4 which is coming up in a couple of weeks. I just finished season 3 and will probably re-watch Razor again just for the hell of it. So far things are looking good, despite it being the last season before the show [...]

THOR

Here’s another imaginary logo I made from the 80’s classic, Blue Thunder. THOR was the nefarious organization which Frank Murphy (Roy Scheider RIP) later discovered was intending to use Blue Thunder to conduct political assassinations. Of course, the bad guy, played by Malcom McDowell, gets it in the end and Roy Scheider saves the day.  [...]

MRR-ADM revisited

So, it would appear the MRR-ADM 10″ has completely sold out. Of course, I came across a dealer on ebay who bought up 30+ copies and is now selling them for $50 a pop. I hate to get up on my pedestal but this pisses me right off. Not only is this blatant profiteering but [...]

MRR-ADM

I did the unthinkable today and actually paid $25 for the new MRR-ADM 10″ featuring Malcom Catto. I’m sure it’s a great release but the collector in me probably won’t open it when it arrives because 1)my turntables are in storage and 2)it’ll drive up the value. Sad, I know. I’m also irritated because [...]

Flying Fortress

Here’s another tee from my collection that I love. It’s by a company called Flying Fortress and was sold through Rockawaybear.com. The graphic is a parody of the classic Santa Cruz Skateboards “Screaming Hand” graphic that was popular in the 80’s, except this one is called “Screaming Paw”. Rockaway Bear is hit or miss with [...]

Advisory Circle

Ghostbox Records have just released the new Advisory Circle album today called, “Other Channels.” I guess I would call Ghostbox a modern day library music label, with touches of the classic KPM, Chapell and DeWolfe library sound. A couple of my favorites, Belbury Poly & Advisory Circle, create vintage electronics not unlike the BBC Radiophonic [...]

More shoes!

I really need to stop with this compulsive habit I have of buying shoes. This time I broke down and picked up the New Balance M574’s I mentioned earlier. Me rikey.

Grotus

The grunge years have come and gone in the blink of an eye and i’ve transitioned to many styles of music from that time period. Industrial music had taken a hold of me back then and of the many bands to emerge from this genre, the San Francisco band, Grotus, had made its way into [...]

Fergadelic, baby

Woo! Old news but news to me. Looks like Fergadelic-The Graphic Equalizer, finally has his own website for his Tonite brand. I used to follow streetwear religiously for a few years but grew tired of the outrageous prices, derivative graphics and holier-than-thou attitude of wanna-be hipsters. I still like to buy an occasional brand name [...]

TGIF!

It’s Friday and i’m drinking a beer whilst listening to the new Portishead album. It’s different, which is a good thing. I’ll have to listen to it a few more times and let it all soak in. It’ll be interesting to see how the fans react to it, especially since it’s been years since their [...]

This is my puppy. Love him, you slags. Oddly enough, beef jerky makes both of us gassy. I’m still trying to figure out who’s farts smell worse.
