canada = cool


drake - remixed

today’s song of the day is the matamatics remix of “best i ever had.”

it’s dope.

just click here.

Di-PLOD-ocus

i like almost everything he does.
this remix is no exception.

definitely club music (nothing like his MIA stuff)…but it’s super fun.

“‘Diplo-DOC-us’ is the British pronunciation,” points out Wes Pentz, the English word sounding incongruous in his cool, East Coast American accent. “It’s Di-PLOD-ocus,” he corrects, using the American pronunciation. “I kind of like that better than ‘Diplo-DOC-us’. It goes back to when I was a kid. I didn’t want to be a producer, I wanted to be a palaeontologist. I used to dig out in the back yard. We had a big red clay field in South Carolina, and I dug up trash and roots but I used to think they were dinosaur bones.”

check out the song of the day

the diplo remix of “keep it going louder” by major lazer w/ nina sky

it’s all kinds of fresh

a car pulls up, who can it be?

a fresh el camino rollin’ kilo g.

he rolls down the window and he starts to say,

it’s all about making that g.t.a.

r.i.p eazy-e…

can’t think of an el-co without hearing that song in my head.

mac lethal has a dope new track called, “el camino.”

it’s the song of the day.

check it out

word to your mother.

surf is up.

super busy…but i have a dope track for you.

first play this one: the caspa remix of matty g’s “west coast rocks.”

then this one: “women overseas,” by JFK

it’s the song of the day.


here’s the standalone track

still rockin’ the dubstep la / plastican mixtape in my car…and it’s still dope.

btw:

Swellwise we are going to see a mix of fading W-WNW swell (275-300 but again with most of the energy around the 285-300 degree range, which means that the larger surf will be at the better NW facing breaks…not the purely W facing ones) and some peaking S swell (180-200). The bigger sets from the W-WNW will be dropping out fast but there will be enough energy to keep us surfing…and plenty of juice to cross up the S swell sets at the combo breaks.

The top NW facing spots, mostly through San Diego and Ventura, will be in the chest-head high range with still a few bigger waves mixing in through the lower tides. The best combo spots, pulling in the S swell and the WNW energy…mostly in Orange County and Northern San Diego…will be more consistently in the chest-head high range again with some bigger waves on the best sets.

kiwi’s can rock, too

today’s song come from Mt Eden dubstep.

it’s called “Sierra Leone.”

not too hard or loud…it’s just great production and a cool track.

check it out.


looks like we did it :-)

Sales of Pabst Blue Ribbon are up a whopping 25 percent this year, according to Information Resources Inc.

“Well, of course,” you say. In this economy, consumers are looking for low-cost options, and cheaper beers are going to do better than more expensive ones.

But Pabst raised its prices last year and now it isn’t as cheap as you may think: The beer now costs $1.50 more than MillerCoors’ Keystone, $1 more than Anheuser-Busch’s Busch and Natural brands, and 50 cents more than Miller High Life, Crain’s reports.

Yet, despite being more expensive, PBR is doing remarkably better than all those brands in profits.

Pabst’s success actually comes from years before the recession.

Pabst managed to pull of a strangely effective word-of-mouth campaign that made the long-declining brand an “ironic downscale chic choice for bike messengers and other younger drinkers who viewed the beer as a statement of non-mainstream taste,” reports Crain’s.

Let’s call a spade a spade: Those “non-mainstream,” “younger drinkers” are hipsters.

Usually found smoking European cigarettes and/or cloves, hipsters are known for their despise of anything “mainstream” and their fondness for irony. They listen to bands that no one has ever heard of and start fashion trends that are cool because of their “uncoolness”, e.g., trucker hats or vintage plaid shirts.

This is where Pabst Blue Ribbon comes in.

“It’s an anti-establishment badge,” said a major market wholesaler. “It seems to play to the retro, nonconformist crowd pretty well.”

Hipsters enjoy drinking a beer that isn’t as “established” as other better-known brands, asserting themselves are more “genuine” and “unique” than the mainstream that surrounds them.

They should be careful though. With the incredible rise in sales, Pabst Blue Ribbon could become so popular, it may enter the mainstream, and hipsters will have to abandon it in favor of another “cheap” beer.
