Coming Soon: St. Patrick's Day Shit Show


So we are just about a week away from every alcoholics dream day, St. Patrick's Day. It's an even bigger deal because I live in Boston, and this place is crawling with Irish people and alcoholics. This year a close friend of mine hooked me up with two of his season tickets to the Bruins game on St. Patty's Day at 1:00pm....Holy Fuck! Oh and did I mention they are playin the Broad Street Bullies; The Philadelphia Flyers.

The Flyers are second to my heart in the hockey world, behind my beloved Montreal Canadiens. Yes, that's right, I'm a Montreal fan. My whole family is French Canadian and my mother's side is right from the city of Montreal, and heritage is everything to me. But I love the way the Flyers play, especially now with guys like Claude Giroux, Wayne Simmonds and even shitbag Scotty Hartnell. They bang bodies, drop the mitts and still score goals. They don't take any shit and are the first guys to dish it out, plus they have one of the most respected coach's behind the bench, Peter Laviolette.

So this game is at 1:00pm, on St. Patty's Day, in Boston, against the Flyers......And I'm wearing Flyers gear. Will my boy and I be trashed by 10:00am? Yes. Will we heckle the fuck out of everyone all damn day? Yes. Will we maybe get in a fight or two or three or four?! Maybe. This day could not be set up in any more of a shit show way. I haven't been this excited to attend a hockey game in a very long time.

So be on the lookout for my post about this said day, in full detail. I don't sugar coat shit, so be ready for a hilarious fuckin story.



Good luck to The Philadelphia Flyers, may we kick the living shit out of the Bruins. May you punch them in the face, stick Tastykakes up their ass and smash Yuengling bottles over their heads.

This isn't just your average hockey game, this is a rivalry game on St. Patrick's Day here in Boston, MA...

Grateful Dead Drink Recipe

So there are a few different ways to make a Grateful Dead drink, the recipe I'm about to share with you just happens to be my favorite combination of poisons. I first had a Grateful Dead when I was underage; I must have gone through four Fake ID's in my day. But it was so bomb, same kind of concept as a Long Island Iced Tea in that, it gets you fucked up and tastes amazing.


Grateful Dead

3/4 oz vodka
3/4 oz rum
3/4 oz gin
3/4 oz triple sec
3/4 oz Chambord® raspberry liqueur
2 parts sweet and sour mix
1 splash Sprite® soda

Fill a highball glass with ice. Add each liquor, fill with sour mix and stir. Add a splash of 7-up or sprite, and serve.
Now remember boys and girls, these aren't your run of the mill mixed drinks, they are fuckin strong. So don't try and be a badass and slug three or four of em, cuz like I said in a previous post, Slimer will come and shit all over you.

But do enjoy these cocktails as they are one of my favorites because they are potent and they are named after one of the greatest bands of all time.

RIP Jerry Garcia, you drug addicted fuck. We all miss your riffs and jams my dude. Dancing bears forever.

Don't Get Drunk at Your Girlfriend's Work

My girl works at a bar in the city and I consistantly go in to wait until she's done and have a few beers. But the other night I went in on a Friday after work and shit was juiced in there. Wall to wall people, bro's high fiving, a "DJ" droppin 80's hits and the beer taps just pouring consistantly. I mean picture a bar scene where people have their arms around each other and are singing "Whip it" by Devo together....yeah that kind of atmosphere.

So she had mad tables and was runnin around, so I get settled in at the bar and start with a tall Stella Artois, my fuckin draft beer go to. Mind you it's 11:30pm............one tall beer turns into six. Not to mention, two regulars I recognized came in and started including me on their rounds of shots. Mystery Shot, down the hatch. Round of Jameson shots, not a problem, slugged em. Shot of tequila, ugh, wasn't Patron but I got it down. Oh and some nachos this dude ordered and told me to "Fuckin eat em with him!"

At this point, I'm pretty buckled and of course, my girl is all cashed out and done work. Somehow it's 1:20am. She sits with me for a drink; she gets a vodka, cranberry and soda, and I get #7 Stella Artois. (This beer was not needed by any means).

She now hears about how I have been boozing for two hours and yuckin it up with her managers givin my two cents on what I think of some choice people, bad fuckin idea. But we leave, not too much harm done, and head over to a pizza place and pickup a few slices. As she orders said slices, I am practically laying on the counter and the miserable human being at the counter is givin me the stink eye.

2 slices of cheese pizza- $10.00. Done let's leave...

We finally get back to my spot and at this point I don't know up from down, pizza from lasagna, shit just isn't makin sense and neither am I. We put the pizza down and then for some reason try and go to bed, but I all of a sudden turn into a brutal prick and just start goin off about the dumbest shit possible. I'm sure this is exactly what she wanted after a long shift on a busy night, epic fail on my part.

Long story short the pizza stayed on the counter, I slept on the couch and woke up with THE worst hangover I have had in the longest time. I mean lips so dry they are just stuck together, a headache that made the noises of the couch make me wanna vomit, a stomach ache that warranted the feeling of food poisoning and the stickiest, grossest eye boogers you could even imagine. It looked and felt like Slimer from Ghostbusters took a steamy shit in my goddam eyes.



Moral of the story is, don't get drunk at your girlfriend's work and be an asshole. Cuz karma is a bitch and Slimer will come take a dump on you and your hangover.

Winter you bitch!

Just when we all thought we were gunna slide through a New England Winter without any snow and really not too many fuckin cold temperatures, we get snow, cold ass temps and icy streets all ova the city! Are you fist fuckin me Old Man Winter? You just decide that on March 1, you're goin to drop dick on us with snow, ice and rain in these frigid temperatures?! Unbelievable. I'm wearin a t-shirt, zip up hoody and my big coat with the fur hood and my nipples could still cut the glass on your car door window. 


I mean seriously, all of us in Boston thought Winter was givin us a lay up this year and not hittin us too hard. But it just goes to show you, never sleep on New England Winters. If you do, they will jump inside your sleepy bed and fuck you with an icicle. 


Not a day goes by that I don't wonder why I don't just up and move to Florida or head West to Southern California. And I always ask my parents why the hell they thought it was a good idea to stay here, in the cold as fuck Northeast, to raise a family. I'm not furious, I'm just bitter, bitter fuckin cold......


So FUCK YOU WINTER........you bitch!

Freehand Profit





A few months ago I was cruisin through websites trying to figure out just exactly what kicks I would be dumping my next paycheck on when I stumbled upon these crazy gas masks made out of sneakers........



The first one I saw was the Storm Trooper helmet made entirely out of the Adidas X Star Wars Superskate Mids. This wasn't the only one, there's one made up from the Cheech and Chong Nike Dunks, the Adidas "Darth Vader" Superstar II's, etc. I had no idea who was responsible for this sneaker insanity until i saw the caption; Freehand Profit.

This dude is currently holdin it down out in Los Angeles and is crankin out a different sneaker gas mask every other month it seems like. But he has a whole gang of prints including pop culture icons wearing gas masks, characters from movies and shows rockin em, I mean this artist has some sort of stellar obsession with gas masks. But it's amazing. Freehand Profit's sneaker gas masks bring different interests together; the sneakerheads are all down with it, the unique artists are all about it, and anyone involved with current streetwear culture is goin bananas over these designs! 

I actually reached out to him and ordered one of his prints and simply asked him to sign it cuz I was all about what he was doin. Come to find out, the dude is real and got right back to me, helped me through all the ordering and even hooked it up with a couple extra little gifts that he designed. I was truly surprised because most artists these days that are real serious, won't give people the time of day. Na, not Freehand Profit, this cat is all about gettin his art out there and spreadin the love. So be sure to head over to his website www.freehandprofit.com. Check out his shop, pick up some prints, some t shirts, shit, you might even be so hyped that you order one of these exclusive, one of a kind sneaker gas masks......That's right, all of them are FOR SALE!

DEADMEAT TOUR with Steve Aoki, Datsik and Autoerotique




Just about two weeks ago, my girl and I ventured over to the House of Blues here in Boston early, like around 7:00pm, to wait in line for the DEADMEAT TOUR. We had balcony seats and weren't about to be stuck standin behind some lames cuz we got there a little later than others. Not to mention, this was an all ages show so there were tons of "new electronic dance music fans" that were beaded out and covered in neon clothing. I put that shit in parenthesis because sooo many fuckin people say they love electronic music now yet half of them were the ones always saying, "I hate techno music, there's no words" like a year or two ago.....but I digress.

So after waiting in this line for close to an hour and being just about molested by the crack team security at the House of Blues, we were in, and cruise right up to a killer spot in the first balcony. Then we got settled with a few Red Bulls and just waited to have our faces melted clean off of our face.

The first DJ was some young kid, who actually was pretty fuckin ill, but he wasn't spinnin his own shit, still legit though. Of course I don't remember his name, so if anyone reading this does please leave a comment so I can try and find this kid, he's got potential. He spun for about an hour as the crowd spilled in, then he handed the CDJ's over to this dude Autoerotique. Now this cat is stellar, hailing from Toronto, Canada, Autoerotique is all about absolute bangers with drops that make you wonder where the fuck he got those samples and that sound?! This dude got the crowd hyped, he's a perfect opener for Steve Aoki and Datsik, but he was so dope, I would absolutely pay to see him headline any show.

DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS DUDE, HE IS THE FUTURE, IF NOT THE NOW OF ELECTRONIC MUSIC!

As Autoerotique ended his set, we were graced with the presence of the ever so popular stage hands, who changed the set around and wheeled out Datsik's booth. Fully equipped with a large LED Logo of his name that changed colors and it was a raised platform, simple yet fuckin sick.

It's now time for the Dubstep DJ that makes our ears bleed to hit the stage and do his thing. Datsik's set was nothing short of amazing; sampling some great hip hop like Dead Prez and even including older tracks like "Swagga" put out by Excision and himself in 2009. While simultaneously blending it all in with his new bangers that got the entire sold out crowd jumping, bopping, and straight going fuckin insane! Datsik's stage presence is nothing to forget either; diving into the crowd and surfing right after he drops intense dub beats, throwing Rockstar Energy Drinks into the sea of ravers and getting the crowd going by screamin on the mic right before some of the drops! This guy is truly a great dubstep DJ and has numerous tracks that I consistently wanna bump.

Yet again the stage hands hit the set to change it all around for our headliner, Mr. Steve Aoki. His booth consisted of this sort of half shell of LED lights that changed color and had all sorts of different variations that was raised a few feet off of the ground. He also had his named spelt out in huge LED lights surrounding him. Now when this dude hit the stage, everyone went fuckin insane, I mean they killed the lights and he snuck up behind the set and then just jumped up onto the booth and addressed the crowd, it was nuts. Now Aoki just got right into it, droppin banger after banger of his and a few from artists on his label, Dim Mak Records. Now I've seen Aoki once before at Identity Festival this past Summer and I was instantly hooked. He's all about the show and he loves to climb his set constantly. This time Aoki was throwin ice water on people in the crowd, he had two cakes that he threw onto people in the first row, he blasted three champagne bottles onto everyone that he could, he threw Rockstar Energy Drinks, Vitamin Waters and Poland Spring Waters into the mosh of heads. I mean it was crazy the things he was doing! Then the dude gets his team to throw an air mattress into the crowd and set it onto the side a little bit. Now Aoki is fuckin climbin to our balcony with no ropes or harness and walking across the ledge! The guy then grabs onto my girlfriend and I and stands up onto the railing and just fuckin jumps onto the air mattress that is in the crowd on the floor and crowd surfs away! Is this not the craziest DJ performance you have ever heard of?

All in all his set was dope and he is really a showman, this was easily worth the $30. By this time my girl and I are soaked in sweat, champagne, Aoki's sweat and our legs are like Jello. Steve Aoki and Datsik ended the show with both of them jumping onto the air mattress in the crowd and floated away atop of hundreds of ravers hands.....Only to then fall into the crowd and have to walk all the way to the front of the stage.

My advice to all of you is to go to any of these guys live shows as they will prove to be a killer time!

Gangrene- "Vodka & Ayahuasca"







As a music enthusiast and up and coming DJ, I am constantly on the lookout for new music in all genres, especially hip hop. So it's no secret that I sit on music blog sites such as UGHH.com and look for new mixtapes or albums to purchase. Recently their list of new releases and recommended Cd's have peaked my interest, more specifically the new Alchemist and Oh No album as the duo, Gangrene. After reading many reviews on "Vodka & Ayahuasca" that were both positive and negative in different aspects, and YouTube-ing a few of the tracks just to get a small taste of what will be sitting at my doorstep in just a few days, I decided to make this easy buy a reality. Now here is my own personal review of this album.....


"Vodka & Ayahuasca" has 14 tracks, if you include both the Intro and the Outro, but the first actual song track is "Gladiator Music." This track is probably my favorite on the entire album mostly because the verses have the smoothest flow out of all of them. This song features Kool Grap, someone I am not personally familiar with but he does do a decent job going in on this one. The next few songs don't grab me lyrically but the beats are pretty consistent and have the kind of grimy, psychedelic vibe that I expected from the album art. 


Track 6 is the blockbuster song that the album is based around essentially. Titled "Vodka & Ayahuasca," these lyrics are strictly about vodka, pills, and trippin the fuck out. Truly giving you that feel that the album art provides. However, the flow is still weak and as much as I do like these beats, Alchemist and Oh No are capable of much better. The rest of the tracks are mediocre, again just lacking solid flow and any type of direction in each song. "Top Instructors" is kind of a hot song but after that it falls right off with "Livers for Sale." This one is my least favorite on the album; it just makes me think they are trying too hard to be gritty and nasty, so they talk about stealing people's livers and selling them....? Yeah, epic fail on their part, didn't capture me in any dark way. 






Do not get me wrong, by no means do I not want to listen to this, it's good to throw on while you're pouring a drink and just chillin out. Maybe even trippin the fuck out, I don't know what some of you cats do out there but it could be a solid listen for that as well. Like I said, I don't dislike it at all, but I guess I just expected more from these two, since I have been a huge fan of The Alchemist in the past and Oh No has seriously overwhelmed me in a killer way that inspires me to use his shit in upcoming mixes. All in all, go out and have a listen to this, you may love it, you may hate it, or you may just feel sort of indifferent. I mean shit, this album is $11.97.....just buy it and form you're own opinion.


Decon Records puts out some great music consistently. They have artists signed to them such as Pusha T, Freddie Gibbs, Ninjasonik, Chali 2na, Jay Electronica, Jurassic 5 and 88 Keys. So absolutely check them out at deconrecords.com and pick up that new music, they do not disappoint.
