I used to work for a guy who spent a lot of time in NY. He’d always say “Yo B, this shit is bananas”. Hopefully some of that ends up here.

Rio de Janeiro Christ statue defaced

BLOG POSTED BY RENS ON 19 APR 2010 @ 03:10 PM

Last week some Pichacho, the Brazilian graffiti hand style usually found on high rise buildings, made its way on to the face and arms of Rio's Christ the Redeemer Statue. Lines such as "While the cat's away, the rats will play" as well as a bunch of references to killed or 'disappeared' criminals were sprayed via the scaffolding being used in the restoration of the statue.

Rio's Mayor has vowed that "Those criminals will pay for what they've done. They will go to jail." So, assuming someone will go to jail, perhaps a few more might 'disappear' just like the Rio residents whose names the 'vandals' painted on the face statue.

Rio is a crazy, crazy place.

TRON LEGACY Official Trailer 2

BLOG POSTED BY RENS ON 10 MAR 2010 @ 02:34 PM

Just got a 2 minute dose of lycra clad video game banging electronic music goodness via the second Tron Legacy trailer. The second trailer teasers you with a bit more of the film and a bigger taste of the magic Daft Punk have pumped into this Disney production. Now I'm just bummed we have to wait till December to finally see and hear it all.

OK Go - This Too Shall Pass

BLOG POSTED BY RENS ON 03 MAR 2010 @ 11:20 AM

OK Go's treadmill video for Here it Goes Again was awesome. In the same vein of awesomeness OK Go have just dropped their new video for This Too Shall Pass. As front man Damian Kulash puts it, the band got the help from an army of geek-monster- engineers capable of building rocket ships to bring 'Donkey Kong to life' in a 'celebration of actual root level physics... screw computers'. The guys did a cracker job in building a next level fun machine.

... and check the video being made in this series.

Homemade flying hovercraft

BLOG POSTED BY RENS ON 02 MAR 2010 @ 02:46 PM

Every so often someone throws a blog up here with a vehicle that not only fullfills almost every child hood dream but is also priced within in a slightly atainable realm. Rudy Heeman's flying hovercraft from New Zealand is one such machine. Cheaper than a Holden Barina with no license needed... Nice.

Die Antwoord Zef Side

So apparently these guys are kind of serious about their music and that these clips are just some promo and are a bit of a piss take? . Apparently their live shows are making it big in some parts of Europe. All I know is I want to see more....

Thanks Nate and Bosco @ the serps

WESC - Mulholland Drive

BLOG POSTED BY RENS ON 04 FEB 2010 @ 09:55 AM

Even though WeSC's Australian life may have ended, or rather the distributors here went under owing lots of people lots of money (yeah I'm bitter) the WeSC crew in Sweden, the USA and most other parts of the street fashion world are doing a ripper job of keeping the party going. And why wouldn't you? When Ray Barbee, Jason Lee, Alex Prager, Sage Vaughn and Steve Berra turn up to party you know your in for good times.

Check this party clip from the photo shoot for Mulholland Drive - the new 2010 collection. Also, peep the Medicom Toy x WESC collaboration. Yeah!
