Last year for April Fool’s day, Brad Gross (Billy Gross’ brother) played a pretty gnarly prank on his mother. One of the mail reason’s I’m posting this is so you can see how Billy grew up and where he get’s his insanities from. Also, I wonder if Brad has any balls left after he scratched them all of during this prank. The only thing missing from this video is a Billy cameo.
Joseph Frank Keaton, known professionally as Buster Keaton (October 4, 1895 – February 1, 1966), was an American comic actor and filmmaker. He was best known for his silent films, in which his trademark was physical comedy with a consistently stoic, deadpan expression, earning him the nickname “The Great Stone Face”. [1]
I kinda feel for him too. Though i’m on the computer most of my days, certain technologies are on a right off list as to how much care i put into them. I mean one of the main turnoffs for having a hooked up surround sound system is all the mixture of bullshit that you gotta fuck around with. Three controllers and one HD/Blueray screen later, you find yourself out of batteries and wondering why the most beautiful movies you’ve seen look like they’re shot on your mom’s camcorder now. Let my eyes adjust? Naw i’m good.
Dire Straits perform Money For Nothing live with Sting, Eric Clapton, Elton John, & Phil Collins at the Prince’s Trust Concert, Wembley Arena, 1986. Walt, where you at?
It wasn’t only his clothes, but his direction and presentation of his collection that made Alexander McQueen a true visionary. He made the word show mean something in the fashion statement, bringing a breath of fresh art into fashion. He could walk the line between costume and stylistically desired, with an end product that makes too much sense in all its choas to NOT like. Above all I love the range of styles he was willing to explore with the sheer devotion to make sure that it is communicated clearly. Tis a shame. R.I.P.
Filmmaker Justin Gallagher fills us in on his latest video, a piece featuring both Derick Montez and Mike Giant, painting some roll downs on Haight St. in San Francisco. Definitely another nicely executed piece by Justin, with tunes provided courtesy of Minotaur Shock (Breaking Away). Enjoy! (via)
