I wish I was in SF this weekend

The Cadence/DVS Fast Forward Race Final this weekend in San Francisco.

I raced in the Philadelphia version and that was a killer. I can't imagine what the SF version is going to look like.

Everyone in the bay head to Benders of Friday

I want!

The Mash 2011 Cinelli Frame

MACAFRAMA!

The boys from Maca came through with another nice edit. Normal I'm not a fan of trick track but its the macaframa crew so I can dig it. And the clip when Matt breaks of his crank is pretty gnar.

Do you remember THIS Against ME!?

I do! Being at home on vacation leaves me a lot of time to go through my old record/DVD collection and I was able to dust of my Against Me! DVD "We're Never Going Home"

And goddammit Against Me! was a fucking amazing band. You just felt lucky to watch those 4 dudes rip up a stage for a hour leaving you breathless and unable to speak.

But not only were their live shows top notch but Tom Gabel was a true lyricist and the passion he put into each of those early records were beyond anything I've ever heard before and since.

I truly do feel old writing this but being at home makes me nostalgic and this song still kills.

"And there's no need to shit talk or impress
'Cause honesty and emotion are not looked down upon"

-Tom Gable

FERGUS!

Home

I haven't found Jesus
And he sure has not found me

I've been looking for same women
But she has not been looking for me

I've been looking for the beauty in the ugliest of things
Somehow I cant even see it in me

Cause I've been running in the same fucking place for too many years
Not going anywhere but using all my energy
Too Scarred to move on and too scared to stay still

But the drum keeps kicking and this pens never ceases to spill
Come everyone, get up and get out its time for the guilt

What I'm watching

Joy Division is one my all time favorite bands. But yet someone how I totally missed on this biopic when it came out back in 2007.

If you like Joy Division netflix this movie.

If you don't, listen to their debut record Unknown Pleasure again.

If you don't know who they are, then you are a lost cause and there is no hope for you or your aesthetic

What I'm listening to

Jack Dalrymple fronted two of my favorite bands:

One Man Army & Dead to Me

I just listened to my collection of One Man Army records for the first time in probably 5 years. One of my favorite bands in high school and in my early college years. Jack Dalrymple was one of those voices that just stabbed me in the heart.



Then I listened to Dead to Me's Little Brother EP.
