Just saw this and had to share. This almost means nothing to people outside of California, but it sure makes us all hungry. I’d say number 3 is my favorite. Click on the image to see it in it’s full glory! via Serious Eats

Saddle Legends Brooks Opens Shop

7C2A6686

Don’t get your hopes up, Brooks, the legendary leatheriffic manufacturer of highly drool inducing bicycle products, has opened up their first store. It’s in London. Not a huge surprise but this does give some hope to future locations. My guess would be Hong Kong and New York. And we can dream about LA all day. The store is more of a glorified salute of showing off how far they’ve come, and I’d say they’ve already accomplished that in the small yet large community of global cyclists.

Not only is the store a mini Brooks museum, it also boasts the opportunity to get a custom made Brooks Saddle in a wide variety of colors. I’d like to take my paycheck here one day, and splurge. Customs are great but I don’t think anything has beaten their new Cambium line. It’s a rubber-cotton goodness that somehow still competes with their traditional signature leather suit.

Sicksystems Amazing Bike Mural in Salavat!

sicksystems_484

Sicksystems, Dmitri Aske’s design psuedoname, recently put up a beautiful, 9-story mural in Salavat, Russia. The photo below give a clear idea of how rough the surface was and why it might have been fairly difficult to cover each and ever chunk with spray paint. I read that it took 9 days. I personally like the pixel-blocky look of the rider and his bike. From the artist…”The cyclist symbolizes human abilities. Since the bicycle is a mechanical vehicle, people riding a bike move forward using their own energy. This work wants to remind the viewers that in the modern world people way too often rely on new technologies forgetting about their own abilities and powers and underestimating them…”

CR@NC at CicLAvia

Screen Shot 2013-05-29 at 12.05.21 AM

The next CicLAvia is coming soon on June 23rd, 2013!!! The “Iconic Wilshire Boulevard” ride will take us from Downtown all the way to Miracle Mile and Museum Row. It’s going to be another wonderful time to ride. Yes the last one was incredibly crazy but this just goes to show that LA wants needs more things like CicLAvia! We want more, we want more!

Once again, Yours truly and the CR@NC Crew will be on the scene as one of the official CicLAvia repair stations. There’s good information everywhere but here’s some tips that I suggest you consider!

1. Don’t pull your bike out of your garage the night before. Take it out atleast a few days before and get a tuneup, especially if your bike has been a precious metal artifact hiding in your garage for a few years.

2. Bring some spare tubes. Always =)

3. Sunblock! I don’t care if you’re an alien with UV protected slime skin, you will burn! Sunblock for mayor.

4. If you’re riding with your family and you’re leading the fambam, consider getting a bell or some kind so in case you start to split up, the fam can find safety back with the rest of the cubs. Also coordinate clothing so you’re easier to spot.

5. Ride slow and safe. Please. Do it for humanity!

See y’all there!

Starminds Debuts @LAFort

Couple weeks ago we had the pleasure, under the guise of Starminds, of doing some visuals for our friend Spazzkid’s Desire album release party. Above is some amateur video of our visuals and Spazzkid rockin’ the 9s and 10s.

We used iPads, projectors, lots of crazy loops, compiled graphics and a whole lotta craziness. Had an amazing time doing it. Please check out Spazzkid now!
Digital on Keats Collective also stream the entire album here.

Lomography Camera Sale?!

391702_10100371876383740_122920154_n

I was resistant to go to Blick on Beverly because of traffic (traffic make you do crazy things) but I decided to go and to my utter surprise, they were having a sale on Lomography cameras! Woah!

They never ever never ever go on sale. Ask your hipster/artsy friends. They know. I got these cameras 70-80% off with no limit! How?! Why you ask? Simply put, they are making room for other stuff. We spent $244 and bought almost $900 worth of Lomo goodness.

Get over to Blick and see what the fish sea!

Hollywood Bowl Has Come!

hollywood_bowl_at_dusk

The Hollywood Bowl Summer season is upon us! As always it brings us a strong line up of classical, jazz, indies and holy crap Earth, Wind & Fire! They’ve got so many wonderful things on deck but the one I am most excited for?…Beirut is performing with Vampire Weekend!!! If you haven’t seen Beirut live, you must hold off your coffee addiction for a week (or a couple days depending on your issues), and get tix noW!!!

Sound of Music sing-a-long, Dudamel on the 5ths and 6ths, She & Him, M83??!?! In the meantime, I’ll try to figure out how to infiltrate the scalpers base and take down the regime of concert bloaters. =)

Ta-ku Remixes Ghost Loft

314x_artworks000042288251tm8u5yt500x500

We’re big fans of Ta-ku, and though that Ghost Loft track “Seconds” is already dope, it’s even better at the hands of Ta-ku. Dude’s too dope. If you haven’t checked out the latest stuff, do your ears a favor and click this link. Too sick. Look forward to that Danny Choi, aka Ghost Loft, debut EP later this year. His remix below of Icky Blossoms is silly nice. Keep up here so you your ears don’t miss the sound. For the eyes, peep the music video for Seconds which is a buncha cutties of Wong Kar Wai’s Chnugking Express. BTW what’s a ghost loft?

Another TNGHT Smashy Smash!

PRESS_IMAGE_TNGHT

TNGHT gets mad play. The 150k hits a day kind. Their EP is still bananas and their new track “Acrylics” is just as dope with some music box creeper bumps. Get all these kids dancing happy. The duo, Hudmo and Lunice, are going big kicking off with Coachella this weekend and next. Both are in their own right doing big things. Hudmo is producing for Kanye, and Lunice is droppin’ his new album hopefully sooner than we think. Keep your ear up for upcoming stuff. Bump it loud and tell your mom it’s for a science project. TNGHT SMASH!

New Jimmy Eat World!

Fully influenced by my high school pals, I started listening to JEW back in the Clarity days and then I fell off after Futures. Never really gave Chase This Light and Invented a chance but hearing the latest single from their upcoming album “Damage,” sparked something from the days of old (the emo days). Not sure what it is exactly but the song is not bad and if I give it some more listens, I can really dig it. You love something so much that no matter what comes, you will support it. Hopefully the single is light and what’s to come is the meat. Meat matters. Stay tuned for June for the next Jimmy Eat World album!
