Avast, matey! (Swashbuckle Stikes Again)

If you enjoyed everyone's favorite teaser to the smash hit "None More Blacker," than you already know Swashbuckle:



But, Swashbuckle has now risen to attack again from the very depths of Davy Jones' locker. Storming, raping, and pillaging wherever they go, beware. This group of course knows that Rum is for drinking, not for burning, and understands what leverage is. The first single is now available, as is the rest of the album. Get it or they will kill your loved ones. They might not have the Black Pearl, but I would shudder if I saw that cursed vessel approach off my port bow.

Summer Time (DC VS CHILL-E)

To looker's right, you'll see a lovely map of the Mid-Atlantic where one power seen is currently sweltering. The last thing anyone could contemplate right now is snow. While D.C. might have a heat advisory in effect right now (at last checking the absolute temperature was rapidly approaching 100 degrees), it's a different world south of the Equator.

Down in Chile, the shred season is in full gear. More than just Portilio, there are spots all over the 2,500 hundred mile long country. With such clever names as "el colorado" and "valle nevado" I wonder what's next.... "el hunter mountain," "el jackson hole?"

Check out this great read over at ESPN Action. The article is more about boozing and traveling in Chile than shredding, but it is fun none the less. Snow is snow, whether it's pronounced snow or "el snow" and as it crosses the 100 degree wall today, I'm going to be wishing I was in "el chile" at 10,000 el feet. Meh, start organizing next year's southern boloney mission now.

And after recent communication with one exceptionally stylish Kelly, B-town is sounding better and better. Will the Boloney Compound finally become operational? Stay tuned.

Nitro Circus Season II (Bigger Budget = Bigger Death)

In a very exciting bit of news, Nitro Circus - the only thing worth watching on MTV - will be back for a second even bigger season August 27th. Judging from this teaser, things are looking very good.

Shocking News (Really, I'm Just So Surprised)

Danny Kass, a drug user??? What are the chances? Come on, I just had no idea.

In breaking news from New Zealand, Danny Kass, as well as Louie Vito, have been arrested and facing charges for possession of a "not insignificant amount" of cannabis.

More info can be found over at ESPN even though details seem to be extremely sketchy.

Really, I just can't imagine this guy getting busted for drugs...



Now, if only they got Magoon too, snowboarding would be about 95% less trashy, and the entire population of park rats would loose their idols.

Dimmu Borgir is Really Neat (and gives me nightmares)

Dimmu Borgir is really neat. The name itself means "dark cities" and they've been around since 1993 (wow). Check 'em out.

Wild Stallions (SkitheEast)

Skitheeast/Meathead Films have finally posted a trailer for their upcoming flick. This is of course the only company I would willingly advertise here.

Ken Block is a Badass (Subaruas are Super)

Top Gear is basically one of the most awesome shows on television and apart from Bear Grylls, the only good thing to come out of the U.K.

On Sunday's show they had Ken Block on doing bad ass stuff with a Subaru. While not exactly an 09 Forester. It will do. Kicker is that even Ken Block's rally car has a VT plate on it. Check this badassness out. Beyond just being awesome, it has some of the best camera work I have ever seen. I can't even imagine how fast those cameras were shooting to get those slow motion sections. Epic.

And this just in, looks like someone else is biting my Seenbaru style. Yes, that's right. Looks like Meathead Films have upgraded their meat wagon from that beat up Outback, to a shiny new - and well painted - Tribeca. Fine choice. I am a few months ahead of you boys though with my FORESTER. Way to keep it steezey.
