For many cyclists who ride in New York City, the city is like a war zone. The constant battle for space on a street jam-packed with pedestrians, vehicles, and the occasional rival riders. To highlight these daily skirmishes, artist/designer Tristan Eaton and his THUNDERDOG STUDIO might have created the perfect allegory.
On display as part of Bicycle Film Festival – Joy Ride Art Exhibition, Eaton’s fixed gear bike is literally a street fighter. Constructed from welded steel, carbon fiber and multi-coat of acrylic urethane paint. Eaton customized the handle bar into brass knuckles, in case the rider needs to “reach out and touch” those who cut him/her off. Polished chrome, bolt-shape scythes on wheels to cut down unsuspecting pedestrians or fellow riders who are too close for comfort. And hand-to-hand combat is needed, Eaton also included THUNDERDOG labeled sparring helmet, face mask, chest plate and for good measure, a miniature baseball bat. You could see this and more at the 4 venues of Joy Ride Art Exhibition, on display now through Sunday. In addition, the bike is available for sale. Please contact the appropriate parties regarding price.

When I first heard the name Meetch, I thought to myself who named their dog Meetch? I was like what the fuck, but he’s actually a singer and a producer from the VA area. His style of music is out of this world. This is Che’s boy from A.I. Love You so show him some love people. There are two songs posted below for your listening pleasure. Also, if you want more check him out on myspace at www.myspace.com/voyce81.

These are few tracks from Asi’s ’06 mixtape “The Grand Opening”… this is from the pre A.I. Love You days when Che was Che Montana & Asi was well… Asi. Che produced 4 out of these 5 tracks, the beats are outstanding, I’m trying to convince him to go back to that sound for a few new tracks… maybe I’ll leak the entire”The Grand Opening” mixtape as a special gift for you backpackers.
Hey Crabzinabarrel.com world how many of us have friends (males and females) we wish would start singing “No More” to their wack ass significant others, lovers or “friends”????Actually how many of us wish we could just be like ” No More”??? Well I first heard “No More” by Jasmin last night and I know I am real late but I love the song so I had to do a post about it. Watch her choreography for the video “No More” and check her out at http://www.reverbnation.com/officiallyjasmin.
Here’s a song from Wale to hold you over until Back To The Feature drops tomorrow. I hope the mixtape drops tomorrow. I’m ready to see what he has cooked up since his last effort The Mixtape About Nothing.
