There has been a lot of speculation on how Vice is spending $250,000 on their Halloween party tomorrow. Well thanks to my homie Mike Cohen and his homie Remy Cherin, I have the exclusive sneak peak inside the venue. A note to all the Viceland alkies out there – there are only 300 cases of beer and 25 cases of tequila, so some pre-game and a flask are advised. Check out what will soon be a palace of depravity after the jump.
I’m loving all this car stuff right now. This is some next level. My peoples at Lexus just hit me up with the announcement that they are going into production on a supercar with the ability to take out Ferrari and Lamborghini in one swoop. LFA should stand for Lexus For that Ass! Debuting at the Tokyo Auto Show last week, the LFA has a 4.8-liter V10 engine with a mind blowing 552 hp that you can rev up to 9,000 rpms and get up to 202 mph. The LFA goes into production in December with only 20 being custom-built per month and only 500 being built total. If you want to be the bo$$ next summer, you better get your order in right here. The price? $375,000. Sorry I got nothing on a discount for this one. More looks at this beast after the jump.
This one is straight from the heart. My big big homie Deka aka Dekatron Don aka BLK OPS General Salute! has just finished Cormega’s new video “Journey.” If you don’t know a) go read some other column, and b) Mega is the truth behind much of Nas’ early career. Do yourself a favor and get a hold of “The Realness,” or better yet, the original version of “Testament” and do the math on this much maligned, always under-appreciated, true QB MC. Respect.
I already ran this on Facebook, but felt it was worthy of the repost. This is me loving Germany. Why? Because the dude at the subway platform bodega will sell you an icy cold pilsner.
Crack it for you.
And you can head off into the night drinking on the subway like it’s one big bar car. Nobody even looks at you funny. So yeah, they may not be the friendliest, and they definitely got the whole world war concept pretty fucked up, but when it comes down to good ol fashioned quality of life, the Germans have it on lock! Prost!
Had a blast with the Burton crew last week, as you can peep in my hard hitting ESPN report, but sadly one photo didn’t make the final gallery edit. Nah sons, 13th Witness too raw for Disney! But here we could let you fly kid!
With so much poppin off for CMJ, even the most discerning music snob can get a case of the “fuck thats” and choose to skip the Marathon all together. I mean, there are just too many shows and to be honest too many bands that suck. But there is also some really dope shit going on this week too. Case in point, the homie showcase tomorrow night at Southpaw. Frank151’s got equal parts classics and new skool with everyone from Grand Puba to Trouble Andrew. A special heads up to HighSnob readers: Redman and Spank Rock are gonna be there too. Oh and did I mention $1 Colt 45? Hells yeah Billy D! Hit up events@frank151.com to RSVP and say Timbo Baggins sent ya and you are all good for VIP aight? Full info after the jump.
My good friend and one of the most talented dudes I know, Pat Conlon, is having a group art show this month and he’s kicking it off tomorrow night. Pat, along with Jeramy Fletcher, Ted Riederer, Sylvia Ortiz, Jeffrey Beebe, and Daniel York Krupin will be showing his works at the Mindy Wyatt Gallery to the tune of some wine, women, and song. There will also be a screening of a film called, This Is Berlin, Not New York, which I know nothing about but am curious about anyway, having just returned from that fine city. Everything pops off at 6pm. Full info after the jump.
My homies at Frank151 have been working on a major online relaunch and have cooked up a pretty epic contest to kick it off with. From now until the end of the year, they and the new web portal LikeMe are giving away 151 sick prizes and 15 that are beyond fresh like a street skating session with Stevie Williams, a studio session with Raekwon, a tour of Oakley with Bob Burnquist, or a Hood sesh with Danny and The Dingo. That’s bananas. Go here to get in on it.
Thanks to my homie Oli Tielsch from Monster, I also had the change to hit up the opening of the Nike SB pop-up shop while I was in Berlin. Oli was launching his super rad NYC issue and SB was showing Alex Flach’s sick shots of the German SB team tours to Cairo, Dubai, Capetown, and Tokyo. I bumped into both Gigi Ruf and Chris Haslam there on the totally random tip, which just made me think yet again “fuck it really is a super small world.” Peep the rest of my pics at RadCollector.
AKA Timbo J Baggins. AKA Caranguejo do Norte. I live in Brooklyn in the country's first housing project where I imagine that the sound of the BQE is actually the waves lapping at the beach in Brasil. Eu falo portugues. The only thing I've ever learned is that nothing is constant. Let the fun begin!
