Fashion Before Passion.

The new H2O record is amazing. "Nothing To Prove" is without a doubt going to be my summer record. I highly suggest picking this record up. It reminds me a lot of the self titled record.



This is the new video for the song "What Happened". Guest parts for Lou Of It All and Matt Skiba. I love this video. The last scene in the video is a real bum out, showing a for sale sign on CBGB's.



I can't stop listening to this record. It's almost nostalgic to me. Highly suggest you pick this record up A.S.A.P.

The Greatest Trick The Devil Ever Played Was Convincing The World That He Didn't Exist.

During the week, Threat Level reported that the Comcast.net domain was Hijacked and the traffic was being redirected to a homepage set up to brag about their successful attack. The two people responsible - "Defiant" and "EBK" - took credit for the attacks along with their group Kryogeniks. Shortly afterwards, Threat Level interviewed the two hackers, and "Defiant" said "I wish I was a minor right now because this is going to be really bad." The two hackers stated that they warned Comcast about the attacks, and when they brushed them off, they took their attack up a step.

Here's where the kid "Defiant" screwed up. First off, if you're going to attack a business as large as Comcast, I could understand maybe wanting to brag about it. It is a neat little accomplishment. But if you are going to leave a name, DO NOT have anything that can link you to that alias. While reading the interview, the author noted that the kid had a myspace page. He also mentioned the kid stated he lived "Cashville, Tennessee". A quick google search with the terms "Defiant", "Cashville", and "Tennesse" returned his personal myspace. The kid has a myspace, with his real name, set up with the name Defiant all over it. It took me literally a minute to find him, and probably took law enforcement even faster. Now all they have to do is subpoena Myspace for his information and he's done.

If you're going to try and make a name for yourself on the internet doing things such as script kiddie DNS hijacks, at least use an anonymous identity. It's the same problem that wannabe gangsters have. They go around attaching their names to jobs they have done in order to make themselves known. These are the people who get caught - the people who brag. They are more interested in the image they are going to get after doing the job then staying out of jail. Then again, there are the people who almost want to go to jail to build up their image. Why anyone would ever want to get into trouble or go to jail is beyond me. Oh well. The attack was good, just sucks that he was careless and is more than likely going to get in trouble for it.

If AIDs Don't Get Yah Than The Warheads Will.

Last night I saw the Cro-Mags. It's still so surreal to me. I will always remember reading interviews with people saying the best show they have ever been to was Cro-Mags shows. And to think that I saw Cro-Mags in Miami at Churchills... wow. Its unbelievable. The show was off the chain. I got to the show right before DNME played. I hadn't seen DNME since like 2005, nor do I think they have even played a show since then. It was definitely one of the more tame DNME sets I have seen, but still greatt none the less. Absolution played a reunion also. I only have listened to a few Absolution songs, and only after someone burned me a mix with the New Breed Comp on it. I think it might have been John McHale, but I don't remember. Anyways, just seeing the band live. Wow. I had read recently that Djinji Brown hadn't done anything since Absolution relating to hardcore, but the guy definitely still has it in him. The man had a lot of good things to say, and you could definitely tell by his stage antics that he was a huge H.R. and Bad Brains fan. After their set, Djinji gave a huge shout out to Bad Brains. Next up... Cro-Mags!

Before the first note even played I had butterflies in my stomach. JJ came on stage, and when the first note hit, it was on. They kicked off the set with World Peace. From then on, it was non-stop movement. Stage diving was in full effect throughout the set, Koopz chipped JJ's tooth, and I moshed into the concrete pillar in the middle of Churchills. They played World Peace, Survival Of The Streets, Street Justice, It's The Limit, Life Of My Own, Malfunction, Show You No Mercy, Don't Tread On Me, Signs Of The Times, and possibly one more. Then they kicked into a cover of Right Brigade by Bad Brains, and then ended the set with We Gotta Know straight into Hard Times. It was surreal.



Seeing Cro-Mags was something that I never thought I would see happen, and I was able to see them alongside some of my bestfriends. It was a great night. No bullshit, no fights. Just Cro-Mags.

One note though. Kids need to learn how to stage dive and make it look good, otherwise you just look like a salmon who just flopped out of the water.
