Hardcore-Not that bad

I can't deny my past sometimes. Occasionally I will wear my old college sweatpants and lace up my Nike Diamond dunks to get coffee on the weekends typically having some sort of hardcore playing on my Ipod.

Varg Vikernes-A Free Man



Varg Vikernes was finally released from prison on May 24, 2009 from his Norwegian prison sentence after being denied parole four times. Vikernes, also known as 'Count Grishnackh' was serving a prison term for the 1993 murder of Mayhem guitarist Oystein Aarseth and numerous church burnings.
Varg Vikernes had reported to the Dagbladet paper "I'm ready for society — and I have been for many years. I have learned from my mistakes and become older. Now I just want to be together with my family. My mind has never been in prison; I think all the time about what I should do on the day that I am released." He added, "I have barely seen my son since he came into the world. Even though I hear his voice on the phone almost every day, it is very tough to not be present while he is growing up. I miss my family. And I look forward the day that I could work on my farm, create music, write books and be with the wife and kids around the clock — and live a normal life. I have received tremendous support from my family. It means a lot."
Vikernes had serves almost 16 years of a 21 year sentence. He is now living with his family on his farm in Telemark Norway planning a release of new Burzum material.
I look forward to it.

CALYPSO-NEW YORK


As many of you know, I've been a huge fan of New York band Blonde Acid Cult. Well, apparently they moved in a different direction and changed their name to CALYPSO. They have some great 'surf punk' inspired numbers up on their myspace. I am going to miss that 'Ruiners' song though....

Male 'Adult of The Week' N.Y. Ranger Sean Avery


Sean Avery is notably credited as being one of 'The Most Hated' players in the NHL. It may be because he incessantly agitates players with methods of unorthodox play, or potentially from making statements like this in reference to Calgary Flames defensemen Dion Phaneuf.
"I'm just going to say one thing. I'm really happy to be back in Calgary; I love Canada. I just want to comment on how it's become like a common thing in the NHL for guys to fall in love with my sloppy seconds. I don't know what that's about, but enjoy the game tonight."
Either way, Avery interned at Vogue, hangs out with Karl Lagerfeld and shows a genuine interest in the fashion industry. The NHL hasn't had a controversial and intriguing player since John Kordic, so I'm letting it go. Check out Sportscenter's Top Ten Sean Avery moments.


Female 'Adult of The Week' Jennifer Herrema


Jennifer Herrema has accomplished everything from recording numerous records in the highly influential Royal Trux and RTX, produced for bands such as The Make- Up, Bad Wizard, and The Kills, and modeled for both Calvin Klein and H&M, while still finding time to contribute to numerous literary and artistic endeavors. Here is Jennifer performing 'Hash' off RTX's latest record JJ GOT LIVE RATX on Drag City.

Plastic People New York


My good friend Chuck at Plastic People New York is having a Summer Sale. Get it or get out!

Past Blonde Acid Cult Interview

I Interviewed New York rock outfit Blonde Acid Cult a few months back on a previous journal. I thought I would re-introduce the interview to those who had not had the opportunity to view it.

BAC combine a gritty, NY street-smart attitude with potent funk fueled rock and roll sensibilities to drive their resonating primal and sonic sound. Described as "influenced by Manchester’s Hacienda party scene as much as they are by James Brown drum breaks and punk rock hip hop like the Beastie Boys, BLONDE ACID CULT is really inspired by their own scene of friends, people who paint their hometown in wild colors and trip to independent beats". BLONDE ACID CULT's debut 12" featuring "Shake It Loose" and a remix of "Kick The Funk" by Rory Phillips of the famous Trash Party in London will be available in October courtesy of Ripe Records. Here's what Sonny had to say.

BP: For those in the Midwest and West Coast who may be unfamiliar with BAC, how did BAC come together and how did you all know each other before forming?

SONNY: Michael and I are brothers so we've known each other for a long time. The Boston Strangler was actually shot across the street from our house growing up. A few years ago I moved to NYC and was living on Suffolk Street in the Lower East Side. Mike had just moved back from LA and came to stay for a bit but ended up moving in. Phil is originally from London and was one of the founders of the famous Trash Party with Erol Alkan. We used to see him out all the time DJing in NY, and at first I thought he was some creepy guy. One night we were at this bar where our friend was DJing and he was drumming on the bar, and I asked him if he was a drummer or just annoying. A few weeks later we were rehearsing for BAC. Damian we had known for a few years from Boston and we ran in to him at a New Years Eve party in NY where he was spinning records and realized he lived in New York. I eventually called him up and he became the bass player.

BP: You mentioned BAC's debut 12" is out in October. Having only played select shows on the East Coast, is a national tour in the works?

SONNY: Yes. We love America, and what could be better driving around the best country in the world playing shows and getting fucked up. But I think we will be touring the UK next.

BP: What are your favorite NYC spots for food/drink/debauchery?

SONNY: Wherever we are at is where we want to be. My favorite is Mexican food from this restaurant in Bushwick called El Paisa. Everyone there is Mexican and half drunk. If you put Chuck Berry on the jukebox, all of the people get up and dance. For bars we like Schillers, when our friend Rob DJs. The monthly party that our friend Nicholas does called Circus '68 is always a good place to dance and get drunk. And, if you want to sing "for she's a jolly good fellow" at 4 in the morning, you can always head to the Beatrice Inn. People always try to say that place sucks but you know they just have nothing better to talk about and then go there anyways. The place you can usually find us is at this place Teddy's in Brooklyn.

BP: What is BAC currently wearing while onstage?

SONNY: We just wear whatever is in our closets. Mostly it is jeans, sneakers and a jacket. If it's cold we'll wear warmer jackets.

BP: Favorite show experience? Worst?

SONNY: We played a show for some Andy Warhol anniversary thing, and Keith Richards got up on stage and played a few songs with us on stage. We did "Midnight Rambler" and an Ike and Tina song. That was pretty out of this world. The worst show we ever played was with some Icelandic band who were singing about "running in their underwear". It was probably the shittiest thing I've ever seen. I'm sick of weird bands.

BP: BAC has conquered the U.S, Europe, Japan, Internet, and airwaves... what is your dream tour and where do you settle down after pulling in the millions?

SONNY: I'm not sure about a dream tour. We just want to keep creating music because it's what we do. It doesn't matter if we make pennies or millions or whatever, there's only one place we'd want to live, and that's New York. You can be dead broke or filthy rich in this city, but the best things about New York will always be free.

Featured is the video for "Shake It Loose" is by filmmaker Lance Drake.
