Lives of the Artists

Above is the trailer for the Gallows installment of “Lives of the Artists” – a full length documentary put out by Restless Energy drink, which also includes features on snowboarder Xavier De Le Rue as well as surfers Tom Lowe, Fergal Smith & Mickey Smith.

The Gallows segment follows them on their summer tour, and provides an inside look an their intense live performance, as well as the thin lines that continue to hold the band together.

You can stream the entire film HERE for free.

The Juggalog

The Juggalog is a blog put together by a guy who volunteered to fill in as the merch guy for ICP for about 13 weeks.

This man is certainly NOT a Juggalo, and his immersion in this adventure plays out wonderfully as a poorly planned social experiment.

His observations and ramblings from his time on tour are quite entertaining, and it sheds a bit of light on the strange nature of Juggalo culture; including but not limited to, an intense love for Faygo, far too much makeup, and love for the Fam-UH-ly.

SUFFER

This video was shot during Mother Of Mercy’s set at the Eating Glass last show at Siesta Nouveaux back in September.

The track is Suffer, the best song on one of the best LP’s of 2009.

Thanks to Ryan for the video.

No One Deserves To Be Here More Than Me

LP of the year? Probably.

The Bastard Son Of Affluence

Ive been wrestling with the idea of starting a zine for the past couple of months, and always ended up putting off making a decision one way or another.

Well enough fence-sitting, I decided to take on the project, and tonight I completed the first interview, which features Mark Palm.

Mark was the lead singer of Canadian hardcore legends Go It Alone, and he has a new project Devotion which (from what I’ve heard so far), is awesome.

I’ll (hopefully) be completing the rest of the features throughout the next couple of months to have the yet untitled zine available in the early spring.

Stay tuned for more info.

Honorable Mention

In response to the last post, here is what is probably the runner up for best cover – Kay Pettigrew with a folk rendition of “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” theme song.
