happy birthday andrew hurley
long live fuck city.
im like a rapper, "i love you, no promo"
“dont be worried. the devil called in sick. we were just trying to figure out who was gonna run hell until he got back.”
can i get a mod up in this piece??
sorry for all the deleted comments. i dont know where they go- to the land of unicorns or recouped records. plz help meees. i cant even spell correctly!
fresh- im a crybaby too
every once in awhile music like this gets to me looking out at night from the inside. good call. i should trust my friends opinions more. www.myspace.com/charlottesometimes
phew- sense of humor still intact
the slow jerk. im late on this but its so funny its insane.
this is dunkin' donuts - love it or leave it.
i want you all to be acutely aware. just so you never end up in a room with a murderer or watch a commercial with an extremist in it… watch carefully. you might get tricked. this is a terrorist. this is a douchebag. itd be funnier if it wasnt a joke.
fresh- clandestine x Nathan Sawaya
so i told you clandestine had some cool stuff coming up this summer. we had nathan (brickartist.com) design this sculpture to be installed in the chicago store. thats a hell of alot of lego bricks. more pics inside…
a message from the most powerful man in music (no...
“The new program, hosted by Wentz (making his original post complaining about the lack of music on MTV seem more like a somewhat clever marketing ploy than actual heartfelt emotion), will air on Friday nights, with performances and/or new videos from Panic at the Disco, Flo-Rida, The Ting Tings, Snoop Dogg, Lil’ Wayne, The Pussycat Dolls, Duffy, Boys Like Girls and Vampire Weekend....
yes its a crush.
what he says in the first thirty seconds of this clip is something i have felt for the last year. exactly.
its fun to do bad stuff.
my friend nick from boston sent this to me. i know its wrong. but i kind of want to be friends with this kid. like hes way more badass than most of my friends. i wish he had his own show or something. just hes got great one-liners… p.s. i hope he got in some trouble with grandma. cause i know i did for doing way less crazy shit back in the day.
im bad for your health
do you remember this? you might have been only like two when it came out. i loved this video.
s'more videos pls.
nick took this picture when we were hanging in southern ca this summer. so i guess all of my whining has helped push the idea along. mtv has greenlit an hour long show to be aired live once a week this summer. it will have five video premieres played in their entirety plus one classic/vintage video. also one artist will appear on every episode and play live with no lip synching. pretty excited to...
howl.
tom conrad has been my friend for a long time. i met him and nick during a snowball fight in iowa. i have been on many adventures with him. this may be the best of all. tonight i hope this makes you feel the same way i did. edit: and im a shitty friend and missed his birthday. tell him im sorry.
bonkers. fincher x fitzgerald
i know this is in spanish and shit. but if you go see the new indy- theres a preview for this. this movie looks bananas. based on a short story by f scott fitzgerald.
fresh-
soooo since my last lil tirade about the playing of videos on mtv has spread around a bit more even than planned. i had already been talking to some people at mtv… anyway. it is just an idea right now but im pretty stoked on it. i think some of you will be too.
nerd alert!
for those who geek on industry stuff: www.merchwar.com but a simple poll if you dont, what bands merch do you like best? (and trust me you dont have to say fob, my feelings wont be too hurt, haha).
e.t. and friends
e.t. has a great water slide- good thing he invited he-man! natalie portman probably eats pizza with vegan cheese. i love the stuff that is in this gallery. mostly because i think me and jensen have the same brain. but also because the stuff if affordable. the most important thing about art is loving it. not how much it costs. check out more of the new show at: www.onetogrow88.blogspot.com
the response to the most obvious poll ever:
i could only assume that you would be completely frustrated with the same things i am with mtv. it is a network called music television that does not play music videos. and when they do play videos it is in 30 second clips on TRL or underneath the credits of whatever reality show. the truth is we have a collective memory of videos. certain ones we can all sit and look back and say “oh i...
fresh...
like i said. were up to a couple of really big things. this is one of the smaller, cooler ones. i wish i could show more of this picture. sooon . like june. the middle of june to be more exact…
poll:
whats the number one thing you hate about mtv?
cowboys and indians.
the least “batcentric” piece we have ever made. out this summer. i wanted to make a sure that brendon urie could rock whilst playing the accordion or whatever. this is our first attempt at making a light summer cowboy shirt. or anything like this. i grew ou the stache for the shirt. but it looks a bit too village people. i like the pattern. new clandestine. its very light cotton so it...
the old shit
in weird ways i am so different- not in any that can be told from a wrinkle or smile line. a little worse for wear. but you have made me a better person and given me the adventure of my life. thank you patrick joe andy - every single fan from hey chris to our newest one. there is something very insane being cooked up this summer cant speak on it yet. but keep your eyes out....
watching reality bites...
i would not be writing this if it werent for the things that went on in small clubs in chicago. if you get the chance. www.savechicagoculture.org does anyone have picture of us playing fireside bowl, metro or bottom lounge 2002-2003 era?
junior.
wow. you guys are crazy. macs. i cant believe you found this shit that fast. i wanted to sneak this into a fall out boy video forever. when i was little this got me all crazy wanting to learn about history and be an explorer. ended up a bit different. i know im more than 10 years older than most of you but i hope there are images and things like this inspiring you to do crazy shit.
treasure hunt...
you up for it? can anyone find a picture of the moment from raiders of the last ark where the girl has “love you” written on her eyelids? i wanted to sneak a nod to that in an fob video for awhile. all this talk of the crystal skull has got me looking for a good still of that shot.
"jonny five is alive!"
ive come to realize how insecure of a person i am. so much that i overcompensate completely in the other direction. i am a comfort person. i love shields. you know turn that frown upside down type of shit. especailly when your dog eats your wallet even after you gave him a sweet sponge bob charm for his collar. well this is what did it for me today. the sleepy prince of noddingham by dangler. i...
bonkers
no point in this. except to say there are two clandestine projects/cobrands that i am really excited about and one that i have been working on for over a year… i hope to have em done this summer to some extent. until then lets watch teddy and grubby get down.
things have changed for me
… but im still the same. my experience at HCT NY thru camera phone. ryan ross’ extensive flower shirt collection. insert comment here:

ice, fire or clear.
on my way between london and paris. sometimes i forget that decaydance fest even happened. and it happened here twice. we have at least 30 minutes to and hour of video of the show and backstage footage. we gotta get that shit out on something. i had the time of my life those two nights. my friend played bamboozle. she got a tat on her hand so we can all remember- dont worry, be happy. speaking...
remember when you slowly figured it out
at the end of the usual suspects. the camera pans and just when you think you know. you dont know. http://angelsandkingschicago.com/ it is not what you think it will be. tony stark >iron man
poop, literally
“Piero Manzoni was an Italian artist who died at the age of 29 in 1963. But before he went he got some excrement - his own - and put it in a tin can. ‘Excellent!’ he said, in Italian, ‘I think I’ll call it Merda d’artista!’ this dude made warhol look normal. basically he was a prankster and pooped in a couple soup cans and sealed them all. they went for...
bounce bounce basketballs.
do these dudes know anything about sports? i dunno. scope some of their new stuff on itunes. or just giggle at the pics as i did.
