We haven't forgotten about the Summer '09 Campaign.

We'll be getting into the whole sketch comedy thing with two projects this summer. One involves the three of us sitting on my Mom's couch watching tv and talking shit (what we do best), and the other is for a YouTube character that we've come up with to help jump-start Keon Cam's sorry acting career. Surprisingly, he's pretty good.

These are VERY rough right now, and things may change as of next week when we figure out how we'll go about things over a Mocha Frappucino.

On another note, it seems like all three of us are close to flat-broke. Iced Cappucinos it is. Attic Society t-shirts have been on my mind, and considering that times are rough, t-shirts may be very long-term. Stickers will be in effect though, so keep an eye out.

Times are rough. Especially when you're dropping $100 on Rock The Bells. Yeeee

Self explanatory.
I hate it when Filipinos mention how sick Manny Pacquiao is. Manny Pacquiao is sick.
So we were supposed to explore the downtown core and find some new shit, but it was raining, so we just grabbed some free sugar-free Jello from Kennedy Station. Sooo not worth the post, but I got nothing to write about at the moment.
So I had this awesome idea to SERIOUSLY interview a homeless dude (preferably that one guy who holds the "Smile if you masturbate!" sign along Queen St. West) by bribing him with free Jello. Our first attempt didn't go too well. We randomly chose one of those dudes that shout out loud for no reason. I had no idea that those type of dudes do not respond when spoken to. Kinda messed. He barked at Keon when he saw the Jell-O though (0:15 of video).

Bare with me as I find something lol'able to post.
Eargasm Pt.2

Rock The Bells is coming to Toronto... and this time when they say Toronto, they don't mean Missisauga. This may be something that I'm gonna be going to every year. Last year def. set the bar.

I remember it like it was yesterday. It was something like 4am, and me and Wonton (dude who makes the stickers) were the first people there, waiting in line for what was to be the most craziest thing I've ever been to. The weather was so cold and wet in the morning that me and Wonton had to willingly spoon under an umbrella. Jk. To think that I was already yawning and ready to go home when ATCQ was midway through their performance shows you how OD on Hip-Hop shit was.

On another note, here's a list of the performers:

-Nas
-Raekwon
-Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley
-Slaughterhouse (Royce, Joe Buddens, Crooked I, Joell Ortiz)
-Reflection Eternal (Kweli & Hi-Tek)
-Evidence & Alchemist
-KRS-One
-Buckshot
-Slum Village

Just to name a few.

So who's coming!?



All people really need is this.

I'm gonna bump this in the car.


HOORAY FOR YOUUUU!
  1. Go for a jog everyday
  2. Learn to read Read everyday. At least try to.
  3. Brush up on my mixing and all the above, everyday
  4. Save up enough money to buy Serato, and maybe even a laptop
  5. Rock a party
  6. Figure out the truth behind my Dad's DVDs he hides under his bed
  7. Discover new places to loaft at
  8. Spend one day just sitting on the couch
  9. Get new run of Attic Society stickers
  10. Amber Heard
If we were to leave, we'd let you know.

[Gay Fish]

So I'm FINALLY off school, if I haven't made it clear enough on FB. It feels so good sometimes to just wake up whenever I want, only to realize that I have nothing planned that day. It hasn't been like this for something like... a really long time. This means more blog post time, and a chance to help get The Attic Society back on track so we can get what we were set out to attain; Internet superstardom, and a "Hey aren't you those guys with that blog? OMG touch me!" status.

This summer, The Attic Society is planning to get more interactive with the readers. More stickers, more live-on-location videos, and my clever ass shit.

Look for us posted up by your nearest Starbucks. We hood.




Everyone loves 'I'm On a Boat', and why not? T-Pain's funny. Who's even funnier? Seth Rogen, that's who. So it's only right The Lonely Island x Seth Rogen should be a huge hit, right? You tell me. Check it out.

Oh and if you're a pansy, it's pretty profanity laced, so...

With it being Holy Week I thought this post would be pretty appropriate. Okay, let's get real now. Impersonating God on facebook is the furthest thing from it. Regardless, I thought it was still pretty hilarious. Note: Actually click on the pics below.

~Keon Cam~

So I've been slacking hardcore because of school employment bitties, okay I've just been slacking. But the important part is here's something new. So I decided to check out Kanye's blog for the first time in months and he posted the most killer link ever, that which I just had to steal.

So check it out, I won't both explaining what it is.

iDaft

And in case you haven't already, check out our Twitter pages since our sleeping habits and what Keon Cam is having for dinner is so important.


Just a little video of what happened last week. The fuck's a Clarington?

Fuckin random, baby boy.

Yeah chill, Garbage J.'s still around.

So my uncle took me to my first club experience (Yo don't hate. My uncle's cooler than yours) and I was completely blown awayyy! I was in such awe of the whole thing that I walked around the place on my own, just to take it all in. I probably wasnt even in awe. Maybe it was just the grain being passed around in the main room. I dunno.

So we walk in the room, and my uncle tells me "just walk". So I start walking towards a set of stairs that looked like the dancefloor, cuz you know how I gets down. But as I'm heading for these stairs, my uncle taps me on the shoulder and says "No, thats V.I.P" and when that happened, I had this epiphany. Right at that very moment, I realized I wanted to be someone very important.

I'm just kidding. But that night, I realized that I wanted to take this hobby I had to the next level. I'm gonna practice my ass off this summer break (I got a long break), and hopefully somewhere down the line, get my big break. I wanna rock a party, kill it, and hook the Society up with V.I.P. Cuz we've BEEN important, and no one's ever acknowledged it! Sheeeit...

Note: Lets play wheres Waldo with the little asian guy (me). Once I found myself in the pic, I realized that I was the only one in blue light!
I'm so convinced that I'm the chosen one.


By now you should know, The Attic Society loves foreign covers. So take this in, Katy Perry's 'Hot N Cold' by Ukrainian band. Amazing.

Respect to my boy Rob for finding this.

"You've been bamboozled"

Yes, I'm aware that Soulja Boy getting paid for every comment/view on his Youtube page is old news, but the video itself is new to me. I just thought this video was too hilarious not to post. But I'll leave it at that, because I'm afraid Soulja Boy might be getting paid for every character I'm typing about him, too. Okay, I'm done.

P.S. Soulja Boy, since our blog is so super popular, me posting that video here must have gotten you atleast like a couple million views right there. I'm expecting a cheque in the mail. Or atleast a pair of Soulja Boy sunglasses.
SONIC-BOOM.I want this. Oh man do I want this.

Note: This record is filled with Street Fighter II samples for DJ's to use for scratching.

My dude.


The one artist who I thought was gonna blow up, is already wanting to give up.

Kid Cudi posted an entry on his blog expressing how sorry he is for calling it quits after his first album. I think he's getting a little ahead of himself, cuz that shit hasn't even dropped yet, sooo wth...


I usually don't read posts by people who are on some Kanye-like "I'M GONNA TYPE IN ALL CAPS LIKE IM SCREAMING", and I don't read essays either, but it was an essay in all caps I ended up reading. Apparently he was falling into the dark hole of Hollywood, and wasn't feeling it. (Insert rich & slutty actress/heiress punchline here) Nah, too easy.

"IM TOO REAL FOR THIS HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL SHIT." says Cudi, in his blog. I'm real too, but yo nothing's realer than Vanessa Hudgens.




The actual videos have been on the net for a long time, but since Canadians seem to get screwed with everything when it comes to the internet, I've just seen Kanye's performances for VH1 Storytellers. So check them out (not in any particular order).

See You In My Nightmares
Amazing
Heartless
Touch The Sky
Say You Will
Good Life
Flashing Lights
Stronger

[I'd give you a longer, wittier post but I'm enjoying these too much. So shut up and watch.]

And if you're too lazy to peep the entire thing, here's the highlight from the entire performance:



LMAO!


It seems like everyone's seen (and loves) I'm On a Boat, lately. And while he doesn't have T-Pain, Jon Lajoie is my dude. If you haven't seen Everyday Normal Guy 1 & 2 you're missing out. And if you know me, I love trilogies, so you can imagine how excited I was to find the third (and hopefully final) installment to the Everyday Normal Guy series.

Awesome.

By the way, Stay At Home Dad is pretty hilarious. Especially the Rage Against the Machine parody at the end.
LMAOI feel like a complete dick head for taking something I found on Olivier The Parisien Gangster's blog (Lets be honest. Dude thinks hes Brad Pitt), but this was too good.

The Sexy People Blog documents those cheezy Wal-Mart-esque photos that people always used to take back in the day. I had this awesome idea that instead of a photoshoot, we'd invest in a Wal-Mart photoshoot for jokes, along with matching outfits. Kinda like this. It sounded sick in my mind, until I Google'd that Step Brothers pic.

Link: Here

Apparently there are nearly 6 million twitter users. None of which are Canadians. Until now.

Catch the Attic Society boys (and creep my personal endeavors) over on twitter.

Thespringsteen
GarbageJ
KeonCam

Join the revolution (just so you can hear how uneventful my Wednesday evenings are).
Look for these on a mailbox near you!
Shout outs to Wonton, who's slacking HARD! Hopefully calling him out will encourage him to get the next round of stickers on time... The stickers are dope either way. Sadly, these stickers will only be for us, but you can peel them off the places we'll stick em on, if you really want one that bad.


Beefing at 12yrs.

Happy birthday from The Attic Society fam, son!

Now I'm usually never one to school people on new music, mostly because I'm always last to find out about it, but during a long night of fixing up my iTunes library I stumbled upon some pretty decent stuff. To be honest, I haven't even listened to a new hip-hop song in forever (all thanks to Rise Against). Anyway, here's some of my finds (some of which I even purchased on iTunes!).

Cyne - Starship Utopia


Median - Rize (Produced by my man 9th Wonder)


Marcelo D2 - Desabafo


Check the Cool Kids swagger all the way in Rio.

(Yes, I'm aware I've already posted this... But it's just too darn cute not to!)

Apparently, in Taiwan they raffle off beautiful islands for your own personal enjoyment to the local population (for whatever reason)... and guess who hit the jackpot: a little punk four year old. Man, what's up with that? At four years old you have no concept of slacking off, which a quiet, little vacation island is made for.

When asked what he planned on doing with the island the kid said, he wanted to "play in the sea". Come on! Where are the monkey servants, treehouse mansions, banana phones, etc?!

What a waste.

That paradise island in the Great Barrier Reef better not go to another 4 year old either, or I'd have to load up the shotty.


I was debating whether or not I should actually post this, being that I don't think there's anyone on the planet (in their right minds) that doesn't have Mobb Deep's Shook Ones Pt. II on constant rotation. Can a classic that everyone shouldn't have forgotten anyway, be considered a throwback?


But then I saw this very educational pie graph, and figured this was way too good. So there you have it, Throwback of the week: Shook Ones Pt. II.


I was looking back at some of GarbageJ's old videos and stumbled upon this one of Keon Cam Kevin calling in to CP24, discussing how safe the streets are for gays and lesbians and how short shorts are "styling".

Hilarious!

"Man those Attic Society boys sure are funny!"
"Bust A Move (Remix)" by Young MC f. Bounty Killa

Look out for the Friday Chronicles.

On another note, we won't be releasing a sticker for the month of February because February is such a short month. And honestly, I haven't really started on anything. Sorry. Look out for one in March though. I swear!

Ohhhhh man.If you personally know The Attic Society, you'll know our love for Japanese food. Actually, maybe its just me. Maybe even Keon Cam's black ass. All in all, Japanese food's the shit.



Man! This dude totally owns me in Livin' On a Prayer performances [see: my facebook]. I gotta brush up on my skills.

Post a comment and tell me what you think.

Sheeeeeit...After going 0 for 2 against LeBron and the Cavs last night and not having a single field goal since February 11, Marko Jaric scored big by marrying one of the hottest chicks like... ever! Screw being a star in the NBA, I wanna be a bench warmer if thats what it takes to get with a model.

I dunno about you, but this move solidifies Jaric's spot as this year's Most Valuable Player. If I saw Adriana Lima sitting sideline if I was to play against the Memphis Grizzlies, I'd be busy trying to make plays that would involve me diving into her section in hopes of copping even the
slightest feel.

A championship? Pfft, he's already won a trophy wife...

I thought this was a must-post.

Daryn's MTV stuff is okay, but I miss the "Buzz" days.
FYI:
Mista Mo is a youth worker in Malvern! How hood is that?


Anyways, Good Night.
What the hell!?!

So I'm trying to finish up this assignment where I'm supposed to come up with an ad (slogan and all) for chocolate Smarties. I did a little Google search to see if I can dig up anything inspirational, and I found a headline saying "Do your kids smoke Smarties?".

I find out that in the States, Rockets are called Smarties. Which sucks, cuz chocolate Smarties aren't in the U.S. and we all know M&M's are for pussies. From what I've read, Smarties were banned from Schools all over the U.S. because of kid trying to inhale it like smoke. Dying from a serious case of candy in your lungs sounds pretty soft to me. I'm sure little dude grabbed the highest grade of Sour Rockets from this kid for the video.

Sure looks like it.

This dude working a human vending machine, dishing out Kit Kat bars, seems way too happy doing his job. He's no doubt sneaking a few Kit Kats for himself. I know I couldn't do that job (or any for that matter). The humilation of being trapped in a vending machine, not to mention my lack of social skills (albeit behind a glass), is way too much for me.

Now, I hear in Japan they've got lingerie vending machines. Working that one... I guess I wouldn't mind.
I'll show him whats up.

I usually don't fall into celeb gossip this much aside from Kim Kardashian candid beach pics, but this situation is an exception. I'm seriously sorry for laughing at any Chris Brown/Rihanna joke that anyone has made regarding this incident.

J told me not to post the pic on here, so I won't.

Get well soon.

I can't hate on the Raps JUST YET considering I don't have TSN2...But I'm sure they still look like Shawn Marion, in this picture.

Toast.

Speaking of which. Toronto's own, Drake, is throwing a release party tonight for his new mixtape, So Far Gone, and he has LeBron hosting it. Biiiiiiig things! Drake personally invited myself and The Attic Society to come party but tonight is a school night, so... Yeah, I'm just kidding. But I can dream.
I guess its safe to say, Hip-Hop's still alive.I honestly almost gave up on listening to Hip-Hop as a whole recently, as I just figured out how dope the genre of Jungle/Drum & Bass was. Now, now, don't get me wrong, I'm still a "Head". Its not that I got bored of Hip-Hop, its just I was tired of digging for the good stuff. Maybe 75% of my Hip-Hop library is from the Golden Era. Speaking of being a "Head", PussyCatDolls just surpassed Jeru Da Damaja, and Mobb Deep for the most played song on my iTunes.

(8)I hate. This. Part. Right. Herrrre!(8)

Oh, and thanks to my cousin Joy for putting me on, Mos Def's been on loop since the start. Damn you, Joy.

My good friend Chris from the Canadian Tire days (Watchu know about me working in the garden section watering all the pretty flowers?) started up a blog to display his artwork; Both visual and digital. I don't even know if that made sense, but I was just trying to sound knowledgable on the topic of artwork.

Last time I checked, his stuff was shown on Threadless.
I'm not too sure why all those Hipsters who commented were giving him a hard time over his design, considering his design was already on point. But what'evs.

Fun Fact: I remember him telling me he was partially color blind or something like that. Thats messed up!

Well, not really.
But I'll be back at it when I get home. I'm 'finna put own.
This doesn't even mean anything. I just felt it was necessary.

Contrary to popular belief, despite how skinny my jeans might be, I'm actually not an emo. That said, I do find them to be pretty hilarious. Need proof that emotional sensitivity can be funny and ironic? Check out F My Life, a collection of short 2 or 3 line stories that make you say, "damn that sucks", followed by you laughing out loud. Here's just an example:

"Today, I looked at the facebook of the girl I really liked, and I saw she wrote on her friend's wall "Last night was the biggest mistake of my life." We hooked up last night. FML"
See!

I know Keon Cam says this isn't a celebrity gossip blog, but duuude, what are you doing?!
[Assassin's Creed-esque]

I normally don't post stuff straight off of HB like this, especially collections from brands I've never heard of before, but I thought this was genuinely dope. That and I'm half convinced the majority of our readers are hypebeasts (whether they want to admit it or not, haha). Anyway, this is the 2009 Spring/Summer collection from Cleveland-based Wrath Arcane. Yeah, that's right Cleveland. Honestly, before LeBron I don't think I could have even found that on a map. Solid stuff here. Could do without the fedoras and the leather gloves, but whatever floats your boat.

After getting stitches in his mouth, on meds.

This totally owns GarbageJ's one liner. Sorry dude.
"Horra at a Praya!"
The "Hot Chicks with Douche Bags" blog documents the love that chicks have for guys who just look like fuckers. You see them at the mall, you see them at the movie theatres. You think to yourself if you should start rockin' Southpole & Pelle Pelle gear in order to scoop a chick like that. Or am I the only one who thinks that way.

You catch my drift though... Southpole 4 lyfe.

See me before you indirectly boast about how beat up your shoes are.

Just to name drop: The soles are yellow cuz I waited 7hrs in the rain at Rock The Bells (Note: I don't know whos blog that is. Random).

Borderline gross.
OHHHH!THATS how he won all those fuckin' medals. I'm just kidding. One-liner fail.

I missed out on Where's Waldo?

But I def. wanna head to this. WHO'S DOWN!? What I'm afraid of is if not too many people show up. This would just look like another way to get your ass kicked.

More info here.



Now I was never a huge GI Joe fan as a kid (well I did have the action figures, but who didn't!) but, the trailer for the new GI Joe movie (don't worry, I had no idea either) looks amazing.

Check the official website for a HQ version.
So one month down in '09, and as we promised the Attic boys are stepping their game up. We're going global, like my man Khaled. Since this is our year, I figure I should give you a run down on what's to expect in future. So what's up for February? [note to self: it's February and not febuary]

The month gets right into things with the Superbowl tonight. Not that anyone cares. Who's even playing? Also, with every year, we honour Saint Valentine by buying chocolates and $6 singing Hallmark cards. If I were a saint, I'd definitely want the same thing. So call up the bittie for Valentine's Day on the 14th. The next day, the NBA's best go head-to-head in the annual NBA all-star game. Check out the rosters here. Where's my man Larry Hughes at?! Finally, something I'm actually genuinely excited for, the month ends off with two Street Fighter related releases. If you followed me since thespringsteen (you haven't) then you'd know how excited I am for the release of Street Fighter 4. The MUCH anticipated fighter is set to bust heads and blow minds on Febuary 17th. Check out IGN's launch centre for everything Street Fighter 4. And if you're not pumped for this game, then you really, really suck. Capping off the month on Febuary 27th is the release of the Street Fighter movie, Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li. Which looks like absolute crap. I'm sure this trailer will confirm your suspicions. Not to mention Ken and Ryu aren't going to appear in the film at all. [Spoiler alert: the movie is going to suck]

But that won't ruin the fact that Febuary is going to be the month I blister my thumbs smashing heads in Street Fighter 4. Can't wait.

And be sure to catch the Megan Fox stickers coming out this month (I think). And get at me, Keon Cam, or Garbage if you still haven't gotten your stickers. I don't know what you're slacking for. They're dope.
Dude put on for Canada. That night lived up to all the hype.

Catch the fight at mma-core.com while you can.

"Get Down" by B4-4

HAHAHAHAHA!
Omg, this video is hilarious. They used to break this song on Much Music and YTV like there was no tomorrow. I forgot how scary these three dudes looked. I honestly wonder what these guys are doing nowadays, but I don't think "douche baggotry" is a career. Theres so many things wrong with this music video, let alone the lyrics to the song. Take note of the hook.

Referring back to the collabo on the tees post, THESE GUYS ARE ROCKING FUBU IN THE BASKETBALL SCENE!
HAHAHA
I went grocery shopping with my Mom today.AND I GOT A PEZ DISPENSER! YEEEEAH! G-G-G-G-UNIT! I remember when I was a kid, Pez used to be the fucking greatest candy ever. That, and the Flinstone vitamins. I ate that shit like candy too. I blame the OD on Flinstones for my lack of growth.

Sheeeit.


Shouts to Mike!
The good folks at the up-and-coming streetwear brand, Abstract Intentions recently came out with the new "Luke Skywalker" toque as part of their "We Fight/We Love" Winter collection. Be on the lookout for a collabo on some tee's in the mere future! I'm thinking something like Abstract Society. We can kick it Hypebeast, and do The Attic Society X Abstract Intentions.

The Attic Society X Abstract Intentions X FUBU X Exco

Check the fanpage on FB. Pick up a toque or two.

I'm just tryna figure out why these people have their "hood name" on Facebook, even when NO ONE calls them by that name. So why do they have it? And how hood can they really be if they have a Facebook account? Just a little something I thought of when I realized I had nothing better to post.
Okay, so I'm gonna introduce this new "Blog Find" post, where every so often I'll post a blog that I think is worthy of peeping. If it was possible to feature our blog on our blog, that'd be awesome. I mean, our blog IS worth peeping. Right?

Oh Snap! is a blog by photographer, Stephanie Mill who happens to be a hipster the visionary behind our up-and-coming photoshoot. I keep looking back at the word "visionary" thinking to myself how cool I am for using such a big word. FYI: I helped start up her blog. Its why the lay0ut's so shit. Its ok though, she makes up for it in pictures.

I didn't bother reading what's up with my man Shia Labeouf rocking a paper bag over his head in public, but I thought it was 'hood' enough to post. Any dude walking outside in public with a paper bag over his head is pretty hood. I mean, you could get your chain snatched from under you and not see through those tiny eye slits who done it. I'm feeling the paper bag for the S/S 09 season.

[via: the superficial (because you're ugly, haha)]


OK GO - Here It Goes Again

In case you forgot how awesome it was the first time.
Shouts to WontonOh man, I'm so hype about getting up with these stickers. This round of stickers (undecided release date) will be thrown around an area near you. When everything is set and ready, The Attic Society will be assembling a gang street team of about eight people who will be expected to throw our stickers around Toronto, and Pickering. Stickers, and bandanas provided. And baggy pants. And weapons. More info will follow.

Stick around.

P.S. Bling is provided in our team. You can't forget bling. SPEAKING OF WHICH! Thats right yo, we still hood.
The long awaited stickers are here!Okay, so we have 30 stickers. We will each have 10 stickers, so gettem' while people don't want them! Get a hold of one of us through FB in order to find out how to get yours.

Lets start taking bets...



Who's in!?


I can keep it hood too, all the way up in Pickering. What you're seeing is the pedal for my Rock Band drums, all ghetto-ed up, held together by two metal butter knives and electrical tape. Yeah, that's right, butter knives. This piece of crap wasn't even out of the box for a week and it managed to snap in half. But all those years growing up in the 'hood', I learned to improvise and with the help of a pair of punk kids on Break I fixed it so it's like new it works.

Which maybe wasn't the best idea since I have an exam tomorrow and all I've been doing is playing 'Give It All' on drums. Then again I can say blogging counts as studying for my writer's craft exam.

The Springsteen out.
I was at school, and I literally fell asleep on the couch during the inauguration, but I caught this part.

'09 is Grind Time.I've made a decision (with some approval of the team) that we will I will try to come out with a new pair of stickers every month. There will be two types of stickers. One being a bumper sticker in a 6"x2" size of just the URL that will come in a different colourway every time, and the other, a head-shot of someone worthy in a 4"x3" size. This month, I chose Mr. Bean, as last shown by Keon Cam. I dunno why, I just did. What... you don't think he was funny?

We will make as much as we can afford. From the looks of it, we can only afford as much as I can afford. BEEF. Speaking of which, Springsteen and I made a quick run to the West End of Toronto (which seems so far away from the East) to check out the printing place that will be making our stickers, this past Saturday. Whats beef is dude never replied to me asking when they were open. We arrive there, only to find out they're not open on weekends. THE STORE HOURS ARE NOT ON THE WEBSITE! Check for yourself here. I'll be sure to make a run back there after school on Thursday.

Stick around. Literally.
