All Star Bash via the lens of Larry Chen

2009-07-29T22:49:00.007-04:00

Larry Chen never seizes to amaze me. This dude makes me want to get deeper into photography and finally ditch my point and shoot. Sadly a point and shoot is probably all I will ever know how to operate so I'm just going to continue drooling over his photos instead. Here's a few shots from Ziptied All Star Bash...like East Coast Bash, only slightly less cool...

DJ Premier & Pushim

2009-07-18T07:38:00.004-04:00

I worked 16 hours yesterday and just woke up to go do another round today. This song was playing from my winamp playlist when I woke up. I thought I'd share since it's one of my all time favs.

Female singer/MC from Japan paired with Premier is a beautiful thing...

My favorite track off their newest work for Nike's Original Run series.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BXOFtd9elU

If your not farmiliar with Nike's Original Run series it's basically a series of mixes aimed to help you stay motivated during your workout/run/training etc. They start off slow, buildup, hit the climax and take you back down. Kind of like how a dj should take you through a night at the club. Previous mixes were done by A-Trak, LCD Soundsystem, Cassius, Aesop Rock just to name a few. I'm pretty sure they are all sold exclusively through itunes, so here's the link if you wanna check them out: Nike's Sport Music. Note: itunes will open if clicked.

This week in camera phone pictures

If it wasn't for me being in moving traffic, I would have given this guy a high five..

Went biking again this weekend through the city. I'd say we did a good 30 miles before running out of day light. Had a little to much fun and now my bikes in the shop until next week. Didn't really take any pictures this time for whatever reason...oh yeah...my phone sucks and the battery only lasts 15 minutes, that's why.

Spotted this in the parking lot before we left.

Sunday was epic. Drift day in the a.m. and urban mountain biking in the p.m. Couldn't have asked for a better day.

We assembled in Mt.Washington. Spotted this sweet Fuji.

This roadster had fake M badges and clip on brembo caliper covers..We all had a good laugh.

As you can see, this saw was HUGE!

I've seen this thing rolling around town lately and I could have sworn I had seen a girl driving it...Well I finally caught it parked, so of course I had to bomb it and take some pictures. In the middle of me laying on the ground taking pictures the owner(a girl) walks up on me. I'm all like, "nice fitment" and she goes, "yeah, I think it looks cool". Hello!! Marry me!! But yeah, cool car, she does it better than most dudes.

The future of DJing

2008-10-12T22:09:00.003-04:00

Final Product // ATTIGO TT from Scott Hobbs on Vimeo.

"The ATTIGO TT is a Touch-screen interface designed for DJing with mp3 tracks. The TT allows DJs to see, hear and touch music in a completely new dimension with a visualisation of the music travelling vertically upwards. The waveform of the music can be manipulated similar to a vinyl record on a turntable, with the abilty to ‘scratch’ and along with all the other functions to control the music, this is the most simple and exciting way to mix mp3 songs."

Terry Lee Brown Jr @ Moto

2008-07-26T18:18:00.004-04:00

"For years Terry Lee Brown Jr. has been considered as a member of the international elite of House producers, and like no other, he has developed the subgenre Tech-House. In the USA and England his first two albums became successes of note and the media got a surprise when they found out Mr. Brown is actually a German.

Terry Lee Brown Jr, alias Norman Feller, began DJing in 1989 and soon thereafter released his first tracks on vinyl under various pseudonyms. 1994 was the turning point for Norman when he decided to dedicate himself totally to music In the following year he invented the house-oriented project (alter-ego) Terry Lee Brown Jr. which allowed him to create his own sound. Plastic City, which was at that time still a very young label, offered Terry an outlet for his music and he has stayed true to this label ever since.

After the success of his first 12″ releases came his debut Album Brother For Real in spring of 1996. This release was a true milestone for Tech-House and incorporated elements of Jungle, Trance and Easy Listening. The public response to Brother For Real was gigantic, and not limited to scenesters. Muzik (12/96), England’s most respected dance music magazine chose Brother For Real as one of the top ten albums of 1996 (along with albums from artists like DJ Shadow, Fugees, Underworld and Faithless). Marshall Jefferson, the Chicago House legend, honored Terry in an album review by simply stating “He is God” (Raveline 11/1996).

In fall of 1997 Terry’s second album Chocolate Chords garnered further praise and matched the success of Bother For Real. In America Mixmag chose this second effort as one of the top 5 albums of the year.

Terry Lee Brown Jr. is not only a respected producer, but also a much sought-after DJ. This side of the artist is apparent when one listens to the compilation series Terry’s Cafe 1-5. These mixed CDs once again found resonance in the music press and received rave reviews from Muzik, Urb, XLR8R and other national and international magazines. But the story doesn’t end there. Remixes from TLB Jr. of such artists as Gabrielle (Rise), Nalin & Kane (Talkin’ About), Louise (Let’s Go Round Again), Paul Van Dyk (For An Angel), Paris Red (Love Hurts), and Future Funk (Music Takes You High) secured his reputation as a true Remix-Artist.

The third and latest album From Dub Til Dawn is a product of two years work and continues the tradition of Terry’s genre-bending House-sound. From Dub Til Dawn brings together bass-heavy housegrooves with warm atmospheric planes and fragmented vocals. Sound and rhythm are the most important in this case. Fusions of House and Dub or Two-Step round out the album. Pay attention to the track Take Your Time, which Terry produced in cooperation with his friend and label-mate Timewriter.

Today Terry Lee Brown Junior is one of the most happening and respected House Artists around. This is probably due to the passion and love he invests in his uncompromising productions and mix sets. His albums and mix CDs have shown the world that House music not only works on the dancefloor, but also in a comfy chair."

Lasers are the new Fireworks...

2008-07-02T22:44:00.005-04:00

Just admit it. Lasers are the coolest shit on earth. So cool that they're taking the limelight away from fireworks this year. Fireworks were soo 2007 anyway.

You can NOT miss this years Pittsburgh Regatta because for the first time ever the Fireworks show at the end of the night will have Lightwave's lasers incorporated into the mix. Resulting in the most bad ass light show ever to be witnessed!

If the lasers aren't reason enough to come to the Regatta. The music is gonna be off the chain with Dj's Zimmie and Nugget holding it down on the Clemente Bridge from 5-7pm. Can't forget Bonics from 7 to 9:30.

Cocaine Cowboys

2008-06-26T07:01:00.004-04:00

If you get a free hour and a half give this a look. Very interesting documentary on Dade County Miami from back in the day.

"In the 1980s, ruthless Colombian cocaine barons invaded Miami with a brand of violence unseen in this country since Prohibition-era Chicago - and it put the city on the map. "Cocaine Cowboys" is the true story of how Miami became the drug, murder and cash capital of the United States, told by the people who made it all happen. Written by rakontur"

Still in Kansas..

2008-06-08T21:16:00.005-04:00

So....I was almost in a tornado. Or so I thought. It started out with a cool looking cloud that I decided to take a picture of. Then five seconds later that cloud turned into another totally different looking one. Then it got SOOO windy. Then the tornado sirens started going off(ok wtf). Then it stopped. Then it rained for a second. Then the sun came out. Then it got dark. Done.

(8:48pm) Oh hey, a cool cloud. I'll take a picture.

(8:53pm)WTF cool cloud! You turned not cool.

(8:58pm)I couldnt take pictures of the 100mph winds or the tornado sirens blazing. This was the after math though.

All of this happened within less than 10 minutes witch was kinda strange. I'm not sure if an actually tornado touched down in the area, but it sure felt like it could have.

Far from home?

2008-06-08T09:31:00.005-04:00

This morning I found this little guy in the bushes in front of my house...well i guess it's not so little. It's probably the second biggest turtle I've ever seen, next to the gigantic ones I saw in a Florida zoo once which you could ride. How this thing ended up at my house is beyond me...

Btw this thing was laying eggs! I wonder how long it takes for them to hatch..

Indecisive

2008-06-05T08:41:00.003-04:00

2008-05-24T09:09:00.004-04:00

It's Saturday. The sun is out(finally after weeks). I don't feel like shit(mostly due to the weather). I think I'm gonna go for a little ride on the bmx. While im gone take a look at these Dj Mehdi videos below....enjoy.

Jam Nuts

2008-05-14T10:40:00.004-04:00

The other day I noticed that my exhaust was only being held on by one bolt at the header! Luckily Will had some spare nuts laying around. Shit is toit like a tiger now.

Tea Gun and Sair Uh.

2008-05-14T10:15:00.009-04:00

I was impressed. These girls sounded good live. Real good.

We were way up there.

Nyquiltinis, Porn Auditions, and Dance Lessons.

2008-05-04T19:19:00.028-04:00

This weekend Jesse and I where on the Chicago and Detroit stops of the Ghostland Observatory tour. It was my first time in the windy city and after this trip it won't be my last.

The show on Friday was at the legendary Metro. Sold out! Place was packed beyond belief.

Laser, check! Lights, check! Circle Jerk, check!

My camera doesn't capture the lasers to well..You get the idea though.

The show went great! The crowd was feeling it for sure. The next morning we were off to The Motor City. None of my pictures from Detroit came out to well though. Here's a video of Friday from my phone.

Wrap Up

2008-04-28T22:07:00.006-04:00

This weekend I stopped by Secret Element to check out how my buddies soon to be rotary powered Miata is coming along. They finished welding up the front cross member and are currently working on the motor mounts. I'm pretty sure they plan to debut the car at Hyperfest in June.

In the last couple of days I realized just how much I HATE to daily my car. I'm thinking of putting it on the back burner...What's that? Pull my head out of my ass and raise it up? I don't think so..

Playing with the point and shoot...I've wanted to photograph this wall for a while now and I think only 1 of the 20 pictures I took of it came out half decent.

Summer is here.

2008-04-24T21:27:00.003-04:00

Check out Anthony Alcantaras part in the Endless Grind vid "Don't Make Me Bite Your Face". Superb song choice too!

Nut Job

2008-04-23T21:52:00.004-04:00

Thank you Touge Factory!

I missed The Roots for this!!

2008-04-18T09:39:00.008-04:00

While everyone was rocking out to The Roots last night I was busy replacing the shot wheel bearings and axles on the s13. Fun.

Thanks to Danny from PG I scored some Circuit Sports rear spindles that I mated with some new bearings.

Note the difference..

Everything was going fine until I put on the new hubs and realized that they weren't going to work with my z32 brakes(well just the e-brake).

The Circuit Sports spindles are alot thicker than the stock ones. Thick enough to hit on all of the e-brake components!

Old. OK. Yea. Good, great, grand!

New...Fail.

So much for an e-brake! I just removed the whole assembly from the upright. I think I'll just downgrade to s14 rear calipers. The z32 rears were a little much anyway. Other than that, AWESOME. No more wobbly wheels.

Yet again..

2008-04-16T09:17:00.003-04:00

How is it that I manage to only find out about this the day before it happens?

Yeah Bro!

2008-04-14T19:47:00.007-04:00

Here's a couple pictures of Jon holding it down at the Nopi Qaulifier in Jersey. Makes me wanna drive BAD!

Only Jon is crazy enough to paint his J-Lines pink!

Here's the video from the day.

Jon, 4 car tandem soon!?

One Up

2008-04-11T00:44:00.007-04:00

I finally got a chance to check out the newly relocated One Up Skate Shop which now sits in the 1400 block of East Carson. If your in South Side it's definitely worth a look. These guys know what's up for sure!

Cheyyeaahh!

2008-04-07T21:47:00.004-04:00

I found this at the store the other day. Lots-o-bling = lots-o-bitches.

That's it.

2008-03-29T12:11:00.003-04:00

I'm totally building a fixie.

council of doom: official full-length trailer from wolfgang on Vimeo.

Just my luck.

2008-03-26T21:01:00.003-04:00

Of course I have to work. Great.

Making winter cool again.

2008-03-25T18:37:00.007-04:00

We just picked up this bad boy for 25 bucks! It's an Arctic Cat Lynx from the early 70's! It sports a pimp ass leopard print seat and a fluorescent green speedo.

Surprisingly this thing actually has a little get up and go. Not sure if the previous owner tweaked it at all, but I wasn't able to top it out in my yard which is pretty big.

Do we have clearance, clearance?

WE'VE GONE PLAID!!

Stolen..

2008-03-25T15:35:00.004-04:00

Now HERE is Something Good!

Like my mama always said..

2008-03-21T23:58:00.004-04:00

You can never have to many pairs of sunglasses. I think I'll add these bad boys to my collection.

In4mation is the shit. Lots of t-shirts on sale right now too. Go buy one and be the coolest kid on the block.

So..

2008-03-21T21:57:00.004-04:00

I think I wanna build a wagon next. I've always been in love RS4's. A Passat wagon might work too.

Here's some pictures of a Variant (which we don't get here) from Finland done very nicely.

The best of both worlds..

2008-03-19T23:32:00.003-04:00

Armand Van Helden and Common together. What else could one want?

Spatchula! I need my spatchula mom!

2008-03-17T23:52:00.001-04:00

Pre-deer destruction...my driveway

Post-deer destruction..Jons driveway.

Jon, you can keep your Origin aggressive aero. Who can get Sexystyle??

Getting in the mix..

Props to Jon for the stickers!

St. McPatrick Bontrager the 3rd

2008-03-17T23:25:00.001-04:00

Who is St. Patrick and why do we celebrate his day? Who care's?

Jesse says "this is his bridge bitch and if you don't chew big red, then fuck you".

We stopped and pondered life..

Jesse takes note to this exquisite parallel park job.

Let's get a picture of ourselves with the shitty green beer!

Nick met up with us for some Gyros. Mmmm

Bar 11! In the daytime? Nice tri-point BRO!

Look close...

It hasn't even been a month...

2008-03-17T22:23:00.001-04:00

I can't keep anything nice. Not even for a day. I waste everything.

First I hit an unavoidable ice chunk on the freeway on my way to work that blows my bumper off. Wait, no. It wouldn't just blow the bumper off. It has to break the welds on the metal brackets too!!

Then..I decided to play a game of dominoes with 3 deer on Friday. I kinda felt bad for them. If they would have done more damage I would have to reconsider that though.

Whatever. The car is getting a makeover in a month anyway.

My Man Brother Mike!

2008-03-15T11:05:00.002-04:00

We get our fix of house music every Friday @ Alto Lounge in Shadyside. Last night was off the chain! Brother Mike was spinning alot more electro than usual which was AWESOME.

Playing catch up

2008-03-13T10:35:00.002-04:00

So since I've moved I managed to get my car back on the road again..Well I didn't want to but I had to in able to get to work and back. I took over my moms garage and filled it with paint fumes for a couple days. The car is by no means finished, but at least drivable.

The last thing I wanted to do was drive this car in the winter. The salt has already taken its toll in just a few days. Oh well..
