GNAR ISH: into the wild

I have gone into the wild. I will return Saturday with photos.

Until then---

No phone, no pool, no pets, no cigarettes. Ultimate freedom. An extremist. An aesthetic voyager whose home is the road.

GNAR ISH: Placebo

this is pLACEBO'S VIDEO FOR "EVERY YOU AND EVERY ME". Don't ask me why the video has clips from cruel intentions spliced in there, just one of those 90's things i suppose. Good movie either way. Check out the video... i'm a big placebo fan. They never fail to make me feel better about feeling low. Not make me feel better...

anth: Yvan the Facehunter

Yvan is the best and maybe Mr. Schuman is better behind the camera. (Did anyone else hear him say "Tres bien, le et toi?" Ah!) For more Yvan

i think

that this video fits nicely with L.A.F.S.

CASS MCCOMBS

one hell of a singer/songwriter



now it was actually when i was searching for content for this post on cass mccombs that i found sahara hotnights.
so now that i introduced you all to them, lets get to what i was really trying to get at, and that is mr. cass mccombs.

i have been a fan of his for quite some time now.
i heard him first in high school, i dont know exactly where or how or when it was but i was hooked.
his eerie, almost haunting voice (especially in "sacred heart") sends me somewhere else. yet as strange as it can be, his voice is also in the same sense very uplifting and joyous. you can tell he cares and can hear the passion in his voice even when singing softly or slowly. the imperfections of the sound add to the genuineness (forever am i using this word correctly?) of the songs.
some may recognize "sacred heart" as the song Jerry Hsu skated to in Enjoi's bag of suck (one of the greatest parts in a skate video ever)

OH and i just realized when i first heard Cass, while searching for Hsu's part i realized that Jason Dill also skates to one of his songs in DVS' skate more.

obviously he is popular with the skateboarding community which makes sense because after first hearing him i found out that my good friend ruben, actually knows him well. (ruben ran with the newbury park skate scene and was a regular at the Taylor household [mikey taylor that is]oh and how good is that song in his part too! ["pounding" by Doves])
anyways
music!
here is cass doing the same song below, i dont know which came first, sahara's or cass', i think cass. i dont know though


here is my favorite, sacred heart, amazing video too. that strumming in the begening, ugh! i air guitar to that so hard! and then, aahhh just, it sounds so nice the way the song flows and breaks after that intro, gorgeous gorgeous song.


"i went to the hospital" great lyrics to this one.


i lied about sacred heart being my favorite. this one is also. and what a great performance. LOVE that bass just keepin us going the whole way.


in short. every song is excellent. he has four albums, all excellent, i recommend them all.

PHILLY

SAHARA HOTNIGHTS

i love truly stumbling (not "stumbling") upon something, someone, someband randomly that just blows you away.
those swedes never cease to amaze me from their impeccable sense of design, amazing genes (everyone is gorgeous in sweden, its a fact, to this day the most beautiful girl i have ever known was a swedish exchange student who came to my highschool for a year), volvos (swedish right?), and their output of music (HIVES [swedish too right?]).
anyways.
sahara hotnights is a group of swedish girls who fucking rock.
and i love girls who can outrock or outdo me in anything really.

GNAR ISH: Kingdom Come

FOREVER: Cigars

When folks ask me why I smoke cigars, I simply explain that I do it for the camaraderie. Sure, I appreciate the complexity of flavors and the way that an impeccably constructed cigar offers a different smoke for each third of the cylinder. But let's get real—in today's age, how often do you and a buddy sit down and have an hour of uninterrupted time. Sparking up a cigar is a commitment: it means that you are duty-bound to smoke it to the last. In fact, some of my best friendships have been forged over a mutual love for cigars.

I've been lucky enough to have sampled more types of cigars than I can remember; yet, I always return to the AVO 787 Robusto. It consistently provides a nice medium smoke with earth tones and a bit of nuttiness. I feel that AVO presents a great base for comparison to the other cigars that one experiences.

(What a guy!)

And remember kids: just because it's not a Cuban doesn't preclude it from being an excellent smoke.

FOREVER: Espadrilles

We're on a summer tip here at LAFS. Mix it up this season by keeping your now erstwhile flip-flops in the closet and instead sporting a pair of espadrilles. These unisex shoes that date way back in Spanish lore are lightweight, comfortable, surprisingly durable, and (best of all) cheap.

I've notice that espadrilles have begun to proliferate in stores across the states. In the past I ordered from this website when these shoes were difficult to find. Though they're based in Spain, they had some great options and offered me very reasonable shipping fees to New York—I'm not certain that this is still the case. In any event, you should be able to find a pair near you.

Adios,

-FOREVER
