Blonde for Hire
I got a sweet spot in my heart that keeps the smell of summer and sweat near, and gets me going back to the addicting tunes of Tough Alliance. So when i stumbled upon a song i’ve not yet heard, its always straight to the song of the day post. Enjoy.

Heinz has kept it real since 1968, but they finally realized its a bitch to have to open 3 packets of ketsup for an unsatisfying and messy process, so they did a little redesigning. The new packet holds three times as much ketchup and can be used in “squeeze and pour/dipping” style. Now we’re thinkin.

Straight from Cape Town, Africa these crazy asses are taking the meaning of the words get loose and taking it to a whole new level. A three-piece rap-rave outfit consisting of Ninja (the Jeremy Scott lookin mofo) , Yo-landi Vi$$er and DJ Hi-Tek, started performing around a year ago and made their first appearance at RAMFest in February 2009. Now they infect the internet with their addictingly viral raps and shock factor. Shock on, Die Antwoord, Shock on! Here’s a what Othelo had to say about the new craze….
Festo, a dutch robotics design company, has made a beautiful mix of engineering and design in one of their latest projects involving some flying penguins. From what I could grasp from the non english translated site, they are helium filled robotic autonomous flying penguins. In otherwords the prettiest auto run flying robots I’ve seen in some time.. I can’t tell if its the natural movements of the robots that blow my mind or the actual idea of these metal objects gracefully flying around on there own, but they are awe inspired nonetheless. The last time i saw something this interesting was when Theo Jensen was making some noise on the interweb for his wind powered monsters. Though my one qualm is their music choice for this video. It sounds like Kenny G’s experimental album, i probably would’ve gone with something like this song. Anyways, If you dig these penguins make sure to also check out the aqua penguins also, which are equally as mesmerizing, as well as the other interesting projects worked on at Festo.

I am absolutely in love with Scott Pommier’s work right now. How incredibly easy he can capture the essence of the west coast feel in his work. The fog, the dust, the sun, the mood, the smell, in every image. I want to ride free on a motorcycle with my skateboard strapped to my bike, and a trail of 20 friends following me. Let’s roll.
Check out his complete portfolio here, it will change you. Thanks Casey.
