Spread that tarp around you because your mind is about to get blown. Big shout out to Chris for lighting the way to the Zazen Boys. I think I’m exclusively listening to Japanese rock this weekend.
I just joined the boys at Whiskey Sherpa to start making 15-minute mixes every week. Check out my first one and the rest on the site.
Whiskey Sherpa Mix 19 by whiskeysherpa
There’s a new Sherpa in town and he has an army of assassins. That’s what Charlie Sheen said when he heard I was joining the Whiskey Sherpa team. I’ll be bringing lots of danceable jams and probably some extra loud in-your-face rock n roll for our journey. I love the beach like Canadians love lighting police cars on fire so I’ll be leading the charge all the way to the surf. So let’s dive right in, shall we? The first song on this mix is called, appropriately enough, “In the Water” and opens with sounds of the surf and the screeching of seagulls. I think it sets a nice tone as we officially kick off summer.

See you at the conference in 2013
Some legend compiled all 214 Blake Griffin dunks from the NBA regular season into one video. I’m pretty sure this is what Kanye was watching when he wrote Monster.

I’m having a hard time believing this whole Charlie Sheen “meltdown” thing is spontaneous because it is way funnier than anything that has ever happened on CBS. So how long do you think it’s going to be until there’s a name for the “Charlie Sheen drug” on Urban Dictionary? Sheencha?
