Myself and those around me have endured so much loss the past few years. I just want to send an "I love you" to all my immediate and extended family. This post is for my good friend Mr. Joe NONE.

Not only is this our (Shattered Realm) first time back in NJ in 2 years but it's also a great show package (thanks in part to EULOGY RECORDINGS and myspace. com/hardcoreshowsidiots) and for a great cause.

Jimmy died this year and unfortunately like most families his was unprepared to pay for a funeral. We all stepped up and came together and paid for his funeral. Now it's time we come together again and get the wooden cross off his rest and put a respectful stone in it's place which is what Jimmy deserves.

Thanks to all in NJ, Brooklyn, and Philly that helped with his burial thanks in advance to anyone supporting this.

- Joe None and FAMILY.

The Real Iron Man

Iron Man Shot - Prepare one shot of tequila, salt and a lime. Snort salt up your nose, take the shot of tequila and end by squirting the lime juice in your eye.

Unfortunately I've actually done this shot more than once. 3 times to be exact. The first 2 times was in the same night. Horrible.

I was recently went to a tiki bar in Trois-Rivieres, Quebec called the Coconut Bar. I had loads of fun throughout the night and then decided it would be a good idea to just kill that fun with an Iron Man shot. Here's a little photo documentation of the event accompanied with a "how to" on how to torture yourself with this shot. Enjoy

Find some unsuspecting victims and somehow convince them to torture themselves along with you. Thoroughly explain the order of events.

Snort salt up your nose.

Drink shot of tequila.

Squirt lime in eye.

Finally, writhe in pain.

Shouts out to Carol-Ann & Pedro for sharing this experience with me. And just in case you're not convinced of the intensity of this shot, here's a video clip I found so you can experience the pain in real time.

Rest Easy

It's only been 21 days but it still feels like it was yesterday. Rest easy my nigga.

Most of our readers are familiar with the shockingly tragic events that transpired this past September 20th in South Carolina. Although Travis Barker and DJ AM were able to escape the horrendous plane crash alive, their close friend’s were not as fortunate. In memory of Chris Baker and Charles Still, the Famous Stars & Straps family will release a special benefit shirt on October 13th, with 100% of the proceeds going back to their respective memorial funds. The t-shirts will be available in mens, womens and juniors sizes at The Fast Life store in Los Angeles as well as the Famous online store. We at Hypebeast would like to send our condolences to all the victims families and hope someday they will re-unite once again.

"Beyond fucked up."

So I guess my brother is somewhat of a Television star now. He went from playing an inmate in a video game commercial to playing, what do you know?...another inmate. I guess if you got the look, you got the look. This time around he's locked up with David Duchovny on his new Showtime show "Californication". He has a speaking part which means not only did he have his own trailer on the set all to himself but he was also was immediately invited to join the SAG (The dude that plays Jack in the Jack In The Box commercials is a millionaire because of SAG. They get you paid every time your piece airs. Crazyness). So here's a little video I edited with my brother's parts from the episode. Get ready to laugh:



P.s. You know how every single person featured on the screen has a title in the credits at the end of the feature? For example "guy in car" or "henchmen #1". Well his title was definitely "Enormous Gang Banger". Too good.

As funny as it is, congrats for real Dre.

"I have the power!"

This is proof that my friends have officially lost their minds. New Wings, Beer & Sports joint titled "Edgar Anna Jones". I couldn't even begin to tell you what this song is about...BUT legend has it that the crystal skull portrayed in the picture above was once full of an alcoholic elixir and by the end of the recording sesh for this gem, the skull was empty. You do the math.

Here's a 0:45 snippet of the jam:

|-|4x012

In case you're not really "L33T", what to the untrained eye looks like "|-|4x012" actually means "hacker". Although what I am about to present to you isn't really hacking at all it still makes me feel a bit hack saavy when utilizing. If you like to download movies or TV shows and such then I highly recommend checking out this program called Vuze. To use, all you have to do is download the program, install it then head to a site called "www.torrentz.com" to search for whatever it is you may be looking for. All there is to do now is download the "torrent" file from the site and open the downloaded file in Vuze. It's really simple. I've found tons of high quality avi's, some of movies that haven't even left the theaters yet. Give it a try.

Heavy Metal

Testament. People NEED to hear this band if they say they like Heavy Metal Music. These guys are basically the perfect definition of what "Heavy Metal" music should sound like (IMO of course). I'm a fairly new listener of this band but since first encounter I've been hooked. If you haven't heard them before I suggest you listen to the record posted below FIRST and then once you're sold on them, celebrate their entire catalog. "The Formation of Damnation" is their newest and I feel best produced album and was even awarded the "Best Album" award at Metal Hammer's Golden Gods Awards this year beating out Atreyu, Avenged Sevenfold, Children of Bodom and Down. So anyways, give it a try and of course BUY THE RECORD once you realize how great it truly is.

"...the whole album is a Thrash Metal diamond. The sound is also one of the album's strong points since the man who was responsible for the mixing and the engineering is the one and only Andy Sneap. This man really managed to absorb every single drop of the band's energy and put it in this album. TESTAMENT are the next in line that put one more brick in the wall for the revival of Thrash Metal. After the great new albums from EXODUS, DEATH ANGEL and TESTAMENT, as well as the rest of the active titans of Thrash Metal."

If you're trying to use that "I can't buy things on the internet" line on the issue of getting their record, just go see them live in that case. They're out on tour right now and here's their remaining dates from today on. When you hit the table to pick up some Gig Memorabilia be sure to tip my good friend Larry The Lurker who will be working the merch and most likely giving you a bad attitude.

Ezekiel Jiles: Atlanta Motorist

When there is an economic crisis at hand I'm sure that the first thought on people's minds is: "My God, Where is Freekey Zekey? Please get him on the television so I can know how he's feeling about these troubled times." I know that's my thoughts...well, either him or his cousin Cam'ron. I think Cam would be my first pick though. God was gracious this time around and gave us this gem of a video because this is some shit you could only pray for to happen. Prepare to get jolted at about :20 in.



I <3 ZEKE!

Diamond Supply Co. x In4mation x Gravis

Who gets excited about luggage? Well I can safely say that this is the first time in my life that such a thing has happened. I have an original pair of the sneakers to go along with it, and I'm not talking some shot ebay pair that most of you have. Any buyers? I'll even go for an even trade of this bag for them. Get at me!

Looking to create a collaboration piece that extended beyond the usual and often seen confines of a t-shirt, Diamond Supply Co. and In4mation were fortunate to be given the opportunity under the new reign of Gravis footwear designer Kelly Kikuta. Gravis and big-brother Burton’s luggage line has become a strong force in the marketplace for its well-designed and solid products making this triple-threat project suitable for the Diamond and In4mation target and worldly traveler alike. Diamond and In4mation both wanted to create a bag which would fulfill all the requirements of industry heads always hitting up tradeshows around the world. The bag features the unmistakable Tiffany Aqua colorway with croc accents, a popular choice known to garner much attention since its original version on the Nike SB Dunk Low. These will be available in November only at In4mation and Diamond Supply Co. stores.

Ink Sling

I've been known to have average to slightly above average artistic abilities. I guess this makes my friends think it's a good idea that I give them a tattoo even though not only have I NEVER performed such a task in my life, but I also know nothing about tattoos because I basically have none. Here's a little photo journal of the event taken with my glorious 3G iPhone. Enjoy!

Tools of the trade. Monster probably wasn't the best idea since my hands were already nervously shaking.

Shave & clean.

Somewhat of a stencil.

Preparing the gun.

The tattoo and coaching begins.

Apparently my tattoos are painless.

Almost finished...

The end. (Yes, it says "Fugit")

My skills were so proper that I had a customer #2. At least my letters look somewhat legible.

I'm open for business to anyone looking for small not-so-good tattoos. Get at me people!
