Chemical Brothers: Velodrome

Chemical Brothers 'Velodrome' - London 2012 from CrystalCG International on Vimeo.

Although this video has been making it's rounds, it is absolutely worth another post. I have been a fan of the Chemical Brothers for a long time and the soundtrack for the movie Hanna was the icing on the cake. Chemical Brothers do the Olympics and man do they kill it; groovy.

The Revivalists and The Dirty Dozen Brass Band at the Blockley

Got an unbelievable taste of New Orleans last night, starting off with a few Abidas and a Po Boy and culminating with two of the most unbelievable live performances I have seen in a long time. The Revivalists were the opening act and played a killer show, I have been listening to them for a little while now and honestly their live performance was out of control.  Wild solos by each of the extremely talented band members and consistent soulful vocals made my head spin. The Dirty Dozen Brass Band headlined the show, with a truly epic performance.  Needless to say it was an great time and New Orleans sure knows how to groove.

Dizzee Rascal vs. i-SPEED

I first heard about The OMC through their Bicycle Freestyle clip released a couple weeks ago, which is an unbelievable compilation of bicycle maneuvers in extremely slow motion.  The video includes all different styles of biking and is definitely worth a watch.  This video however, has nothing to do with bicycles.  It's a wild concert video from none other than Gahanian rapper, Dizzee Rascal featuring his new single Heavy.  The crowd is going wild, the beat is dirty and Dizzee is jumping all over the stage. All you have to do now is crank up the bass and click play.

I don't really have much else to say on this one besides, YES.  Kidult Strikes again and harder than ever, I'm really enjoying the new stencil.

Horn Bike Case by Bone Collection

Spotted on Freshness

Although it might not be the most aesthetically pleasing case ever or even the most efficient, it is definitely an interesting idea.  Working similarly to that of an old phonograph the Horn Bike Case, by Bone Collection, is meant to more clearly project, and amplify, whatever is coming out of your iPhone speakers.  According to their website,  the horn can increase phone volume up to 13 decibels without any type of power source.  The Horn Bike is a safer alternative to headphones while riding, allowing the rider to more clearly hear surrounding traffic and pedestrians.

Plus it looks like aliens made it.

Life Behind a Lens: Tom Spellman Outlook 2011

Music festivals are honestly one of my favorite places to be.  The atmosphere is always awesome, the people are great, all of your favorite artist are playing in one place and most importantly they're outside.  Basically an explosion of ridiculously raging outdoor music.  I was scrolling through my blog-roll today and came across these epic pictures of Outlook 2011 which is held in Croatia.  From what I have gathered Outlook is an unbelievable four day festival held in Pula, Croatia in the beginning of September.  These are a few of my favorite shots but if you are yearning for more check out Better Never Than Late.

If you are interested, the program from the festival is pretty cool and I definitely recommend checking it out.

Asher Roth

Video shamelessly taken from here

Yesterday I was browsing around on Hypetrak and I noticed Asher Roth is riding a fixed gear in his new video for G.R.I.N.D. It seems the fixed gear wave is growing larger everyday!

I'm not sure what I think about the rear Aerospoke but whatever floats your boat I guess.

Music Makes The World Go Round'

Spotted on Hypebeast

This new colabo between Stussy and Tower Records is so sick. Almost every time I hop on my bike I have to listen to music. It just blocks everything out and is so amazing during those long night rides along back roads, granted during the day on busy streets it can be very dangerous. Lately I have been listening to Explosions in the Sky; GREAT riding music.

It's such a beautiful day, go ride!

A Day To Remember

Spotted on HeavyPedal photog by the man himself Matt Lingo

Not only is A Day To Remember one of my all time favorite bands, but I had no idea that, Neil Westfall, the guitaris, owns Elevated Engineering! Wow this is so exciting I don't even know what to say, one of the illest bands making some of the illest merch AND he rides FG. THIS IS SOOO COOOL! Thank you Heavy Pedal for bringing this awesome news to my attention!

Velocities on the Track Pro Fixie

Seen on Prolly
Photo seen on Jamil's Myspace, so check it out

Ladies and Gentleman we have another one from Philly and that is what I like to see! Haha although I can't say I enjoy his music and his hair style is quite peculiar to say the least, this dude has some SICK bikes. Lately Jamil Kayin has been making his rounds in the blogosphere, because of his bike oriented rap. And I quote "With the gold Velocities on the Track Pro fixie". Here is one of his promotional posters that can be seen around Philly.
