Preppy Handbook

A while back our Buddy Josh Madden.. (One down MoFo..) sent me the 1st edition of “The Official Preppy Handbook”…

See how much times have changed or how much they haven’t….  Awesome fodder or resource depending which state of mind or mood your in..  Stereotypical to the T!  A guide to live your life as a prepster…  You can see Ralph Laurens new collection in the book even though it was published in 1980.. See how times change(or how they don’t).

The title says it all “The Official Preppy Handbook”… A handbook for the prepster…

Smashing Pumpkins

Went to the launch party for Guitar Hero.. Apparently Guitar Hero and Rock Band sells so many units that some bands are putting out songs on the games first as a single and some bands are making songs exclusively for these games, wowsers… Point of reference is getting more and more on a tangent.. Kids might grow up one day wanting to cut a song for a video game rather than to play gigs..

With Halloween around the corner The Smashing Pumpkins performed at the Guitar Hero launch party.  They played songs from their new album and they also have a new song in the Guitar Hero game..

It was sad to see Billy the only OG member of smashed pumpkin playing with the new smashing pumpkins..

The Cool Kids on MensStyle.com

The Cool Kids posted as one of the most stylish bands on mensstyle.com

A name like the Cool Kids tempts comeuppance, but Antoine Reed and Evan Ingersoll have enough swagger to make even cynics like us believe. Their sound recalls hip-hop’s golden age (think Eric B. and Rakim or Run-DMC) without merely parroting, and their look does likewise. (Not that we’re recommending anyone try this at home.)

CUT CHEMIST, MIXMASTER MIKE, straight tore it up like no other….Last time I saw Cut Chemist was for the Product Placement (follow up album to Brain Freeze) tour.. These two and a few others out there are more than Dj’s they take DJ’n to an art from.. where they become musicians… They killed it..

So many people came out to support, the place was paced..UFFIE & DIRT NASTY, MARK RONSON, STEVE AOKI, MOMJEANS, DJ VICE, DJ HOMICIDE, DJ SPIDER, JUS SKE, GRAHAM FUNKE, STONEROKK, MARSHALL BARNES, DJ FASHEN & MIKE B, RICK ROSS, JOE HAHN, MELO D, RHETTMATIC and many many others….  It was nice to see the community coming together…
