Mash SF 2007 Extras: Mike Martin

For those who haven't purchased the Mash SF DVD dating way back during prehistoric times, your missing out on a lot of really cool extras. This is an example clip of a rider and bonafide mad man named Mike Martin who does the same crazy stuff that people were doing on fixed gears, but instead on his huge hunk of motorized metal called a scooter. Mash just put it up on their vimeo page a while ago so watch it while it's still hot if you haven't seen it already.

GoldenCrate presents: Indie/Pop Rock Bimonthly List vol. 1

Tron Legacy Trailer

I'm officially excited for this after seeing the trailer. It could just be my deep love for the 1982 classic, but I rather believe it's because it looks nice and I have good taste in what makes a good film trailer. Check it out here or do yourself a favor and hop on over to apples page and watch it in glorious 1080p.

Pixar's Ancient Book of Sex and Science

The love she had for this monster of science was forbidden. Every night after hours she would escape down into the laboratory where he was locked away. He satisfied her insatiable appetite for lust and danger, while she full filled his desire for the sensual flesh of a woman. The scientific community frowned upon such a tastelessly erotic relationship between a girl and a mutant. However, while the scientists' disdain for such acts were strong, they watched. They always watched.

Forbidden Lust by Nate Wragg

Pixar artists have banded together to create "The Ancient Book of Sex and Science". A rather non traditional Disney (but not Disney) art book when you look at the pedigree and usual audience these guys draw for.

The Ancient Book of Sex and Science is the second book of a four part set. Editor and Animator for Pixar Scott Morse said:

"Well, we're usually pretty introverted, so maybe that makes us a little kinkier. And there's a tradition of us loving Playboy cartoons and naughtier things in general. We all remember drawing in the margins of our textbooks when we were younger."

He believes that that physicality and the exploration of our physical world was a natural progression.

They're similar in that they both have correlating patterns, like the rhythm of math and sex, or like music with peaks and valleys, highs and lows. They can both be very calculated.

I personally think the art looks fantastic. Now maybe yall will stop denying all those stories about hidden sexual secrets buried in past Disney films.

Blue Monday FG Video: Free and Easy

These guys seem pretty consistent with releases and here we are again with yet another release. They seem to have a great community vibe going on in the video and it's no wonder since they hold rides every Friday. Actually I was able to see some of the riders in here during a video submitted to the BFF09 and the crowd was pretty hyped over what some of them were doing in that film. However this particular video seems geared more towards them all having fun rather then something hardcore. Enjoy

Track: Da Mystery of Chessboxin'

KID Cudi Make her Say feat. Kanye West and Common Video

We've been real busy lately and you've probably already seen it by now, but here's the video for Kid Cudi's Make her Say video via MTV.

METH&RED speak on Nas and Kelis

Mos Def & Dj Honda reunite

Photo via Wired

Dj Honda has a new album dropping August 5th and here's a little taste of what's to come.

DJ Honda - Magnetic Arts feat. Mos Def

Personally I think the track is a little on the short side (runs@2:30), but if you wanted a definition of short, but sweet then here it is. Mos recycles some lyrics from Universal Magnetic, but they fit super nice over this production and the song sounds good overall. I don't want to be a critic, but if I was I'd give it two thumbs up.

Throwback

So New Yorks track bike short Empire was shown in San Francisco a couple weeks ago along with many other great films at the BFF and I just wanted to make sure that everyone makes it out to the Bicycle Film Festival when it comes to their town as well.

Also True Blue 3's are officially out internationally only. I can say that these are one of my favorite shoes of all time. Without cash, I can kiss these good-bye. A bunch of them are on eBay already. If I had $240+ to shell out on these, believe I would get more than 1 pair.
