Hip Book Review…FUCK this book
Just got done checking out this awesome book called FUCK this book by Bodhi Oser published in 2005, but I only just found out about it. (I should get out more…) It is only photographs, no writing at all. And if you check out the website – FUCKthiswebsite.com you’ll see other submissions of photos very similar to what’s in this book. I think these are hilarious! And I love how they are street art.
It’s funny how we give so much power to a word. It’s pretty silly of people really. I recommend a movie called Fuck (2005) about the subject. I also recommend this YouTube video…it’s the best…

Converse signs Gorillaz up to help sell Chuck Taylors
I just read about how Converse has this collaboration between the Gorillaz, James Murphy (of LCD Soundsystem), and Andre 3000 (of Outcast) recording a track called ‘DoYaThing’ to help sell some tennis shoes. Also, a video will be made by Gorillaz artist Jamie Hewlett. I’m really looking forward to this FREE DOWNLOAD in a couple of days!
Here’s a picture of the special shoe. Pretty sweet!
Local News…Whale in Ocean View!
Some weird local news…that is pretty un-hip actually…Hey local people – Have you seen the big dead whale that washed up in OV? I went and checked it out after getting a whiff of it when I was going to Farm Fresh for some groceries! It’s on the beach right near the public bathrooms and the parking lot. Man…it’s gross…
It got me thinking about when that dead whale washed up in Oregon a few years gone by….this was way before Portlandia…
Hipster art
I saw this article in the Huffington Post recently about hip artist Fabian Ciraolo who takes legendary people of the past (and present) and gives them a ‘Hip make-over’.
I’ve posted some examples, but you may want to check out his other stuff on his website….
