I can’t stop listening to “From The Bottom” by Off With Their Heads. No, this isn’t the type of post where at the end you’ll get a download link so fuck off if that is why you are here. This record might have made its way to my top 10 favorite punk albums of all time. It’s great. If you haven’t listened to it, I highly suggest you check it out. You can buy it from Amazon HERE (LOOK MA, NO AFF LINK). They also just put out a new record recently called In Desolation that you can pick up HERE. They are touring soon with The Fake Boys, so you should go check them out on tour.

The new CRUCIFIED LP is available for pre-order and a full stream of the new album can be found at http://coldestwinter.net. It’s one of the most evil records I’ve heard recently, and makes me want to destroy something beautiful. They are playing Florida for the first time this July, including a show in South Florida with On Our Own, so make sure you catch them on tour this summer.

I’m not going to lie if and when this leaks, if you consider yourself my friend and download this without even paying the $5 to get a digital download, I will probably cut ties with you. As crazy as it is, why don’t you spend the $5 you would spend at Chick-Fil-A and support the core. Regardless of whatever bullshit internet rumors are going around the internet, Nick and Pete work their asses off to put out releases from bands like Crucified, so stop being stingy.

Judy got here late Friday night, and we’ve been busy as hell. Well not really busy per say, just running around like maniacs. We woke up early yesterday and went to Ginnie Springs. It was awesome to be lazy and just float down a river on a tube, but the best part was the underwater caves that are there.

Not my picture, but you get the point. I tried swimming deep into them but the pressure messed with my ears. I had a migraine all last night and I woke up this morning with what I think might be an ear infection. FAIL.

Today is father’s day. My pops told me a few months ago he was proud of me – the first time he’s ever said that to me. So shouts to Big Al, Happy Fathers Day. He’s in the hospital right now fighting a staph infection, but he’s been through worse so I’m not too worried. Get well soon, Pops.

Off to go look at some apartments – moving the first week of August. To leave on not such a depressing note, watch this .gif while listening to “Come Fly With Me” by Frank Sinatra. Too great.

“Undaunted, I knew the game was mine to win. Just like in life, all of my successes depend on me. I’m the man who has the ball, I’m the man who can throw it faster than fuck. So that is why I am better than everyone in the world. Kiss my ass and suck my dick, everyone.”

It seems like I can’t stop posting about my friend Julian, aka k00pz. His blog can be found at JAYKON. He’s working hard as fuck lately and pushing out some awesome stuff. These are some posters he just finished up:

From Julian:

“On the left is the new Alpha & Omega LIFE SWALLOWER poster. Good friend of mine in the band asked me to do the layout for the new record, and I was pleased to do so. It comes out July 13th so please stay tuned for that, you will not be bummed out, it’s honestly one of my favorite hardcore records I’ve heard all year. Listen to the new track “Fueled By Sin” they have up on their MS now. The poster on the right is the upcoming BANE / TUI / CRUEL HAND / A&O / CENTURIES show here in south florida … It’s going to be an amazing show, and I’m really siked to see A&O play the new jams I’ve been hearing for a while. STRAY RATS also has involvement at the show, so please come out and support! BREAKEVEN BOOKING!”

Party on k00pz!

One of my best friends in the world, Nick, runs Pylon Press. Pylon Press is a South Florida based screen printing company that does everything custom apparel wise – shirts, jackets, jerseys, shorts, etc. – as well as posters and even beer koozies. If you ever need shirts printed, Nick’s your guy. He just threw up a blog the other day after me pestering him about it for probably a year. You should go check it out. He also printed shirts recently for my friend’s band, Protagonist, and Stray Rats.

My main man Julian started up his own clothing brand called Stray Rats. I’m not going to lie, when Julian first started coming around shows I was not a fan of him, but now I love him. Definitely one of the craziest characters I know, and he was even in a Reality Kings / Money Talks video dressed in a vagina costume and riding a scooter off a ramp into canal. There were even pyrotechnics in the video. Anyways, pick up a shirt from him and expect big things soon. SEWER BRIGADE!

I’ve decided to rethink my approach with this blog, and maybe this time I’ll actually continually post in this thing. I am telling my self that I’ll post more things internet biz related, but truth is I’ll probably just post about bands I’m listening to.

I got a quick little post about no-follow / do-follow links that hopefully some people like that should be up sometime tonight or tomorrow. In reality though, who knows if I’ll ever get around to putting it up.

I’ll leave you with a classic:
