At Last!!!

I am very excited to see Spike Jonze's adaptation of "Where the Wild Things Are," he also directed "Being John Malkovich" and "Adaptation." His third film is set to release this year and it is based off the greatest children's book of all time. The sets look insane and the monsters look amazing.

here is the trailer...

Watt...On Bass

The other night I had a dream about Mike Watt, it went as follows: Watt, myself, and some friends were trying to get into a wrestling match that was taking place inside of a Costco. We waited in line and right when we got to the front the velvet rope was closed in front of us, sold out. We sat outside and Watt talked to us about how he liked everything to be fast. He said he liked "Fast coffee, fast bass, fast Minutemen, fast waves, fast handshakes." Then he said "Ya know D. Boon was fast, D. Boon once ran a mile in under 2 minutes!" Then I woke up...

D. Boon's birthday is this Wed. (April 1st) so throw on Double Nickels or whatever pleases you and pay your respects...Also, how awesome is this Blue Oyster Cult cover of "Burnin For You" done by Watt: fucking listen to this!

surfers are gay

D-Morris was trying to tell us about this video on saturday over breakfast but he couldn't stop laughing and by the time he pulled it up on his iphone the food came.
....

fuck, i don't even know what to say.

Frank McCourt

Recently this photo was taken of me standing in front of Frank McCourt's (Owner of The Los Angeles Dodgers) 2 new houses in Malibu. Yes he owns both of them. The one i am pointing to was David Arquette's old house (Yes, the guy from the scream trilogy). Mccourt bought this house for $33.5 million. His Wife liked this house so much he bought the white house next door for $19.5 million. Both are right on the beach if you cant tell and are about 3/4 of a mile from the malibu pier. Must be nice. 9 days until opening day. Go Blue!

Mind Field...

Most of you blog boys have prob. seen this film but if you have not you must. The video has a great soundtrack and a good artistic direction that is different from most skate videos. It is shot in digi, 16mm and 8mm and all the different formats give the video a cool vibe!

Jake Johnson's part is MENTAL!!!

enjoy...

Your Daily Donkey

Lightgnar has joined me as a Daily Donkey. We sit on a throne amongst faceplants, funboards, and emo tight panted-ness.

He is riding a hull and I am wearing a long john. Hipster fuckdom at its utmost pinnacle of faggotry. Enjoy and Destroy.

Lightning Bolt

This has to be my favorite band documentary, and pitchfork has it posted up for "one week only"

edit heres the link since the video starts automatically

Sea shepherd can suck my big fat apathetic dick (Lets cook some shit up)

I was about to write some lengthy diatribe about these two but I'm already over it. If you've seen the show Whale Wars on television than you can come up with your own opinion. As for me well, "I'm not preaching but this is my opinion. Everyones got a right to free speech..."

You know what sickens and pisses me off? Misogyny, and the act of female genital mutilation to name something specific. Should we go to war with everyone who practices some cultural activity that we don't agree with?

I would bet these sea shepherd assholes wouldn't back a war/invasion on regions of the middle east and Africa that practice these far greater evils (and if you think a dolphin getting offed is worse than the afore mentioned evils, than you in FACT are a fuck-tard) but inciting war seems to be exactly what they are doing with the Japanese fishermen who carry out their historically established ways of fishing whales and dolphins. .

The way I see it, things breaks down to this - Arrogance and cultural relativism. Do I back the slaughter of dolphins? Fuck no. Am I arrogant enough to violently impede the actions of those that practice their cultural beliefs...shit you best check yourself if you had to think about it. Sorry folks but at the end of the day a dolphin is just another fucking fish. Have fun getting killed over it. Watch this video...

Bud Heavy

Yeah. That's a Budweiser gear shifter. The next door neighbors are having some construction done, this is one of the dude's cars. The bumper sticker says: "You call it a six pack. I call it a support group"

I shit you not.

Griffin

I borrowed this 9'4" from Griffin last week. Hopefully I will take it for a slash tomorrow morning. Killer paisley inlay. I put the 4A in it. We'll see how it goes.

Religulous!!!

Thanks Bill...

Backed

whatever, morrison pulled his shit out in 1969

I know, I know. Another daughter's video. I just like how a junk in the face pisses some guy off so much that he's gonna try and deck Lex while he's singing

Who Would Win In a Fight...

Lemmy? or God?

Dicked around in Hollywood for a bit the other day...Hail Lemmy

Drew Bob

Here is Drew Bob. Not sure when this photo was taken. But this place really didn't get cookin' at all this past winter.

What a tease...

Casey told me about this tonight...holy fuck, I can't wait.
CONVERGE New album out soon on Epitaph/Deathwish

Shaka fo' Life

I saw this Van at The Present premier. Epic.

Secrets, secrets are no fun

I took this photo Monday. A ton of frothers in it. I opted for gaping closeouts down the beach, got some views. I saw RT suiting up for it and the Molestro Van in the parking lot. If you check Daliy Bread, it looks like they scored.

Don't worry, your secret is safe with me...that is if it is still there.

Like Flies on Shit.

Maybe not shit, but flies on somethin'.

Mammoth '09

Our posse went up to Mammoth last weekend. Huge house, good snow, Murdercity fucking shit up with cork 540's, jacuzzi, boozin', a shit load of beef jerky...you get the picture.

I continued to seal my utter disdain for cops. I got a speeding ticket about 15 miles from Mammoth. 85mph. The guy was a smug asshole. Doesn't he have any meth labs to raid?

I got some video that Murdercity will get his hands on soon enough. I didn't get any good photos. Here is the only rad one.

Saint Vitus

I have been listening to Saint Vitus' 1984 debut a bunch lately. It was produced by Dez Cadena on SST. Fucking A, man. "Zombie Hunger" is probably my favorite track.

Where Eagles Dare found a coffin in a park today. The coffin in conjunction with this album means that the svrfandestroy video is near 95% complete. Now we just need to film.




I creep by moonlight
I hide when the sun starts to rise
I sleep with the dead things
I have holes instead of eyes
I have no heartbeat
No blood rushing through my veins
No nervous system
No impulses feeding my brain

I have no feelings
No remorse for stealing your child
You shouldn't have let her
Go wandering out in the wild
You've heard the legends
You know that I live out there
But in this modern world
It's foolish to believe in such a scare

I'm a zombie – my skin is now feeling away
I'm a zombie – my insides have died…
And turned grey

I'm lasting no shadows
And making no sounds you can hear
Fumbling through darkness
Your sweat's running cold from the fear
Searching my kingdom
No sign of your little girl
'cause free meals ain't wasted
once they have entered my world

I creep by moonlight
I hide when the sun starts to rise
I sleep with the dead things
I have holes instead of eyes
I have no heartbeat
No blood rushing through my veins
No nervous system
No impulses feeding my brain

Burial at Sea is radical too.



Skull and crossbones – a field of black
Thunder roars – lightning cracks
A phantom ship – she appears
Lost horizons – suddenly near

Neptune please help me
Don't want no burial at sea

Hear their laughter – bloodless shrieks
Tell yourself – dead men can't scream
One legged spectre – riding high
He's commanding – the rape of the sky

Neptune please help me
Don't want no burial at sea

Twilight killers, blood stained teeth
Guiding you into the reef
You are smashed to bits, far below
You're one of us now, you've got no soul

Join the dead men – who cannot die
Committed forever – to soar 'cross the sky
Skull and crossbones – a field of black
Laughs insanely – but no one laughs back

Neptune please help me
Don't want no burial at sea
Neptune please help me
Don't want no burial at sea

Man vs. Shark Pt. II

Alright here's the video if anyone is interested: http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2009/03/13/am.intv.man.vs.shark.cnn


Also: Happy 666th post Svrf&Destroy!

The Present

(This post will remain purely textual. I will not bore you with the same rehashed "photo of the marquee," "shot of the big screen," "Mattson 2 with Ray Barbee," etc. If you've ever been to an art show, film premier, you get it...and my shitty photography isn't gonna help.)

I just saw The Present at the Lido with Where Eagles Dare. Douche couldn't make it because he has diarrhea. Yes. Seriously. Diarrhea.

Anyways, we bought our tickets (to the 7pm show) and parked ourselves in the back of the line. It was long enough (That's what she said), but definitely not sell out long. I went over to Ralph's and bought a Tcat tall boy. As I got back in line, the snaking queue began its way under the marquee and into The Lido. We were almost inside when some d-bag rear-ended a BMW in front of a crowd of 200 surf hipsters and took off. Amazing.

We go inside, pass by Dan Malloy (Almost threw him a shastika, but refrained, tastefully) and seated ourselves while the Mattson 2 and Ray Barbee played. Yeah, they wail. Fool was slashing in a cast. Mental, I know.

Does any one else have any friends in a band? Are they the only band worthy of the hip surf crowd? Well, I guess the Jap Motors coulda' played. Oh, well.

Dan gave us a little spiel about the film, what 16mm is, how fun it is to make a movie, how hard Thomas has worked over the past 4 years, yadda yadda yadda (had to work in a Seinfeld reference somewhere).

I discovered that Dan talks kinda like Kermit the Frog. Where Eagles Dare concurred.

The film begins. I wait for a quiet pause to crack my tall boy. Psssshhhhttttttttt. Ahhhhh, perfect timing. Refreshment.

The Present is the feel good surf film of the year. Love your bros. Experiment with your equipment. Travel. Take cool photos. RIDE A FUCKING ALAIA.

Yes, surfing Waimea and Sunset on an alaia is gnarly. No, I don't really care to watch it. Only need to see that once, thanks. Not really gonna amp me up to surf, watching people getting stuffed on a plank. (In all seriousness, it was pretty cool to see them make some drops behind dudes on actual guns, and to get actual waves and tubes) Watching the front half of the board spring up and down to eventually pearl...mehhhhhhh, not so much.

The Indo part was radical. Dan absolutely rips the bag outta that place and educates us on the importance of saving the earth. This was probably the second time I have ever enjoyed watching a girl surf (the other exceptions being Bindy Baggs and Kassia Meador.), the girls certainly can tube ride.

Joel's history lesson was pretty cool. He mentioned Christian Fletcher, I dug that. Wished there was some more of him surfing, I guess that's what Seedling is for. He had a Jack Daniel's shirt on, I found that interesting.

Africa was cool, I hate dancing, maybe not show so much of that next time, I got the point. More waves. Michel Junod really does rip, I think Jesus was helping him, maybe. T. Campbell appeased the Al Knost hating crowd by showing him in some larger surf or a shorter board, take that.

Basically, if you've seen Seedling and Sprout, your in for the same trip, but with bigger waves. (I mean that in a positive way, two shastikas up). Man, I need to travel more....and get an alaia.

Holy fuck! I almost forgot. The scene with the coffin! Epic!

Keep your eyes peeled for Svrfandestroy's future film, "It's a Long Way Back from Hell." It's gonna be a big downer, I heard Danzig is gonna open.

This Is The Life

This LA Hip-Hop documentary looks pretty good, anyone want to check it out with me this week?

Beast Must Feast

I just saw a video of this of this story on the news...I guess it happened last year but the photos/video are just coming out now...

"These amazing pictures show an epic, two-hour battle between spear fisherman Craig Clasen and a 12-foot tiger shark in the Gulf of Mexico. The life-and-death struggle took place off New Orleans when Clasen, filmmaker Ryan McInnis and two friends were hunting tuna.

Suddenly McInnis found himself cut off and the shark began circling.

"I positioned myself between Ryan and the shark and I tried to watch it for a second, hoping it would pass," said Clasen, 32, who was wearing a snorkel. "The shark made a roll and looked like it was going to charge us.

"Down in my core I really felt the shark was there to feed. I didn't want it to come to that."

During the underwater struggle, Clasen speared the shark seven times and even attempted to drown it before finishing it off with a long-blade knife. It wasn't clear how often Clasen had to resurface to breathe. "Once I shot it in the gills I felt a moral obligation to finish the job," he said. "In the end we put a knife in its skull."

Clasen took no pleasure in his victory last June. "This was one of the most remorseful moments I have ever had in all of my years in hunting and fishing," he said."

Just Beautiful...

Love me some Minor Threat in the a.m.

Hey if we all keep our fingers crossed and wish real hard maybe Fugazi will start playing shows again!

Gnarl's Jr.

I drove to Carl's the other day for a Jalapeño Chicken sandwich, fries, diet coke, and a mint oreo shake. Right after I ate my food in the parking lot, I looked down and saw this.

I knew this moment was coming up, so I have kept my camera in my car for the prior few days to make sure I could document this moment. It's not everyday some version of the mark of the beast graces your odometer.

'Bout a Quarter to 4

Sometimes when you can't sleep (which is most nights for me) you just gotta say fuck it, and embrace it, pour a little mud, and watch The Shining in bed...

am I right?

Varg Vikernes To Be Released...

A while back I posted a bit about Varg Vikernes being up for parole, in September to be specific, and as with most murderers/arsonists he was denied. But if this link is accurate Varg will be released any day now...

Convicted Murderer VARG VIKERNES To Be Released From Prison

(Jolly lookin fellow aint he?)

You'll remeber that Varg has been incarcerated for the 1993 murder of Mayhem guitarsit Oystein Aarseth aka Euronymous, as well as setting fire to 3 churches. "In September 2008, Vikernes's fourth application for parole was denied, but a couple of weeks ago he finally received the message he has been waiting for: after almost 16 years in prison, he will be released.

"I will have to report [to the parole officer] for one year — initially every two weeks, and then once a month," Vikernes told the Dagbladet newspaper."

Apparently in Norway the maximum sentence you can serve, no matter what the crime is 21 years. Interesting. Well hopefully the Count learned his lesson and will be keeping his hands to himself as well as providing us with some brooding tunes.

If your interested and have the time: A Burzum Story: Part II - Euronymous

Murder City Devils

About 15 of us went to see Murder City Devils back in February.

Rather than drive and remain sober, Figgy's mom and stepdad volunteered to drive us. His mom runs a day care center and has a little short bus thingy. Perfect. Ample room for all. Designated drivers. Road sodas for all in the back of the bus.

The show ruled. The band that opened was pretty radical, I can't remember what they were called. Chad was supposed to burn me their cd.

Anyways, show starts. Crowd surfing ensues. Swaying in a sweaty sea of whiskied up fans.

Show is over. James' shoes were sucked off while crowd surfing halfway through the show. That didn't stop him. I had skate hi's on and my feet were constantly crushed and my shoes were filthy. Here he is in all his glory.

Kid Tested, Mother Approved

I had a gift card to Starbucks the other day so I drove through after surfing on my way to work.

Normally the drive through is full of yuppie OC housewives in Escalades and fake jugs...yapping on the cell phone, not paying attention to the moving line.

On this particular day, to my surprise, I was behind a green Ford Taurus wagon with mom driving and two kids in car seats in the back seat. Normal enough...except for the fucking Slayer sticker on the back.

Stick that up your ass Dr. Phil!

Sorry the photo sucks.

Great...Another Blog

A friend and myself just started a little music blog entitled Pedro Bound (Cheers, Mr. Watt) out of boredom and in hopes of serving as a platform attempting to spread the word about some local tunes in and around our great state. We'll see how long it lasts...
Check her out and we hope you enjoy...

I Can't Sleep/Polar Bears Are Awesome

Dear, Mr. President...Wuz Happnin?

Welp, I just found my new favorite website for the next few hours...

http://www.badpaintingsofbarackobama.com/

Sweet baby Jesus some of these bring the laughs. I'd imagine most of these artists/children are of the ilk of the woman on the shit box awhile back claiming her life was going to do a total 180 now that Obama was in the White House and she no longer had to worry about paying her mortgage or putting gas in her car.

(In case you missed it here's the video)


And if you didn't pick up on the Tupac reference in the title well then...sigh.

World Baseball Classic

 Tomorrow is Team USA first game vs. Canada 

Grueling...

Well my day was shit, so I took the appropriate response and listened to side II of My War in my room for about an hour and a half. Rollins haters beware, this song is hard as fugg and may not be PuNk enough for you.

Also this blog is slackin, the last week of posts have just been shitty youtube videos, including this one.

Guess who got their first swellbo...

Check out Devin's blog. Awesome video of Psycho Mike slashing a parking stone.

Devin is a friend of Turkey and Troy. I'm not really a big tattoo guy, but Devin has a Devo tattoo that is pretty radical.

Devin and Troy work at Joker's Skateshop in Huntington. Check 'em out.

They Hate Us, We Hate Them...Yada, Yada, Yada

I don't have much to say, the video speaks for itself:
