Tiger Tiger WOODS YA'LL

WE BACK. Mostly because this is the funniest shit I have ever seen. So this Taiwanese news syndicate reporting on all the Tiger drama decided to visually recreate dramatizations of Tiger and his hoes bein skandolous. Its like the Sims/Grand Theft Auto remixed with Tiger Woods. amazing. Its like the second coming of R. Kelly's "Trapped in the Closet".

oh and to get rid of that annoying writing, mouse over the bottom right corner and click to turn off annotations.







This is probably the best one...



Or maybe this one...



He uses the fake name of "Will Smith" in the hospital! Ok last one...



I Lied. Tiger Slappin Ass and Making it Rain.

I love the random hilarious videos. Particularly when the outcome is unexpected. FYL's not tryin' to be that random funny-YouTube-video site...but who says we can't hop in and out every now and then? Theme music for this one...DJ Shadow's Turf Dancing...

Some L.A. Homegrown: TEAM EZY





New mixtape by some dudes I know. Electro hip hop mashup shit. Download it HERE. Lovin' the Brooklyn Girls mix fellas. Good shit Sean!

Good Films Ain't Dead.



How many places you know where you can watch the epic car chase in Bullitt (1968) outdoors on a big screen, bring your own booze and food, and curl up on a blanket in the middle of a cemetery? That's Hollywood Forever cemetery, which screens classics every Sat night for only about 10$ I believe. They just did Bullit and next up is Paper Moon. Not only is it cult classic films, but DJs spin before and after the screenings, and you can have your own blanket picnic party while u wait. Hmm sounds chill and creepy to me, lets get weirddd. Maybe do the Thriller dance as you leave. Who's in?
More Info here.

FYL At Random - The Ocarina of Rhyme. Clipse X Zelda.

At FYL we are tryin to cover the best new music, the freshest mix tapes, and acts that are about to blow upp. But every now and again we gotta throw up a RANDOM fuckin mixtape...you know somethin that meets the following formula:

Maybe 1-2 good Remixes x Hilarious Gimmick or Title x Anything that may include a track from Ron Artest.

Anything from Kobe's terrible "Philly Live", to A.I.s "40 Bars", to Wesley Willis' Rock and Roll McDonald's could show up here (maybe even 90's Lakers Legend Cedric Ceballos...? Hmm more on that later). But this week...anybody else ever thinkin about flowin over a Zelda ocarina track? Ha, we got you.




















Available for download below.
The best track by far is the first one...cmon how funny is Clipse X Zelda?? Arite, I'm done.

aNYthing.

Went to NY for a few days and had a blast goin' out in Brooklyn. The Kids have taken over in Williamsburg...seemed like the average age was like 24. Live music everywhere. Gig on that live Afro-beat and funky Reggae at Bembe (S. 6th and Berry in Williamsburg) or max and relax in a hammock while sippin on a Caparinha. Or check out Relish, the diner/bar where the Kelis "Milkshake" music video was filmed aha.




















I like dive bars with an atmosphere that makes smokin' crack rocks feel O.K.















A Tree Grows in Brooklyn...and other weird shit too


Embrace the Martian.



Robot Parade.

Welcome to Hipster Hell/Heaven


Finally, what would a post about NYC and Brooklyn be without a wise word from Starbury?

Let me be clear: SHE IS SPITTING SOME REAL SHIT HERE!!! To all those this video applies to, PLEASE wake the fuck up and stop getting played. (easier said than done)

DOPE SHIT!



Got a Girl with a Banjo! Find out more here

Check this out...



Reincarnation is real or clever marketing ploy for this book...

From Fox 8 Cleveland's website:

Child's Nightmares and Memories Prove Reincarnation:

It is being called the most documented case of reincarnation ever.

A little boy is able to recall over 50 memories from someone else's life.

A World War II Pilot's family believes it is their reincarnated brother based on the child's memories.

The boy's story is so compelling, it has been published in a new book called "Soul Survivor."

Fox 8's Suzanne Stratford spoke exclusively to the child and his family.

"Blu" is the Color of the Week

It's Summertime in LA...and if summer had a color it'd have to be Blu(e). Blue skies, the Ocean, Dodger blue, and fresh from San Pedro is Blu, the best thing in hip hop goin right now when you wanna relax your mind and stare at those blue skies all summer. Blu has to be the chillest sound I have heard in a long time...and you cant help but wanna let any creativity you've been hiding flow out through your ears with these joints. I saw Blu & Exile open for Wale at the Key Club in LA and he stole the show...half the crowd left after he was done...even with Wale comin' next.





Blu Mixtapes

Her Favorite Colo(u)r


DJ Heat Presents Blu- (So)ul Amzing (Part 2)

Start with this album, Blu & Exile's "Below the Heavens" (2007) is straight masterful.


Blu...not to be confused with Blu...a crew of unbelievable graffiti artists who have created some of the most mind blowing pieces I have ever seen (See: "MUTO" dropped in the Study Hard post). All I can say is...twist it if ya got it.

MUTO a wall-painted animation by BLU from blu on Vimeo.

Lastly. Baby Blues BBQ in Venice ain't bad. Don't judge them by the color of their skin...pretty good BBQ with a twist.

Study Hard




Whack-ass job? Or maybe you're bored to the point of drooling on your damn self in that pointless-ass required class of yours? And when you try to find release in your one true love music, all you got is some lame, generic-ass auto-tune playlist, and if you're unfortunate enough to get cable tv, you're paying for music television that doesn't play music anymore or to watch some untalented fugly chick get a day job. Even worse, when you try gettin out into the world, all you're left with is the same lame ass dive bar with Journey on loop and that creepy ass regular dude that seems to know every female in that shady-ass stank smelling disgrace to Gaia our earth mother. Well we say fuck that, and in turn, Fuck Your Life.

When we say FYL, we're not trying to be rude, we demand it because we love you. We mean to say fuck your so called "life" (your occupation, your things, your lame social life) because in reality, that's not you. You are so much more than that got dammit!, so open your eyes, you deserve better, and we're here to give it to you good.

FYL is a virtual space for lovers of music, humor, and life to connect, collaborate, and learn from one another. We are dedicated to introducing you to dope local artist and their work, keeping you informed of events that will leave you wanting more interesting friends, and really anything else that will fuck any idea of what you thought was possible and inspire you to simply enjoy yo' self to the fullest. Life really is a celebration, bitches, so its about damn time to start acting accordingly...

With much love,

Fuck Your Life
