The '67 Supercub Project!

I saw this video years back, and decided that I wanted a moped.



I couldn't afford the real-deal Vespa scoot-scoots, so I found a much cheaper facsimile. Much cheaper.



Meet the Honda Supercub. Mine was born in 1967. I got it from some kid, who beat the shit out of it thoroughly, for $100.

I enjoy the fact that it was listed as #1 on Discovery Channel's 'Greatest Ever Motorcycles,' putting the Cub through all kinds of torture. They even drove it off a building! Watch it here:



It's been sitting in my basement now for a few years, gathering mould and dust while I gathered up parts, a plan, and a clue. I'm still deliberating in my head, while still trying to complete this project on the cheap.

If any of you dear readers have any connects, or a read on some old parts, contact me. It's much appreciated.

Here is the goal below:

About Doc . . .

Here we go, better late than never.

Watching Doc Halladay pitch playoff baseball in front of 50,000 people is like watching an ex-girlfriend squirt a storm from another dude.

It fucking hurts, but we can't look away without our dicks in our hands.

The thing is, we over here in BJ land, already knew the magic that Leroy can produce. For everybody else in Baseball America, you now are all experiencing what we enjoyed for almost 10 years.

I enjoy a tidily pitched ballgame by Doc. There were many a time where I'd catch a game where Halladay was supposed to start at 7:05, and already had movie tickets for 10, and made it for both, with no hassle. It was as if Doc had tickets to the SAME movie and we were going to meet up . . .

I love the fact that Leroy gets to pitch in front of 50,000 instead of 5,000 (even though most of us were part of that crowd). And on behalf of the rest of us Jays fans, we are happy to see him pitch in the playoffs.

But Doc, did you REALLY have to pitch that no-hitter on your FIRST playoff game?!

Shit.

Quick Quips

- This is my disclaimer that this mix is synth-heavy. Still good, though. Just open your mind.

- That Duck Sauce track will be in every basement dance club for a long time. Catchy. As. Hell.

- Most of these tracks I've used before in previous mixes. I like to recycle.

- I tried my hardest to find some Perez Prado on vinyl while I was honeymooning in Cuba. It's frustrating when nobody has it, heard of it, and tries to sell you some Buena Vista Social Club. I like my talent dead, people! DEAD!

- Watched The Motorcycle Diaries again. Still beautiful. I included a Perez Prado track from the movie. Enjoy.


- I'm totally in love with that LA band Kisses. It's synth-y melancholy. The way the reverb of Jesse's voice bounces around the room, affirms that THIS is a different melancholy. I hope that you love it as much as I do.

- That Anberlin single is quite misleading. "Impossible," is totally strong, but the rest of Dark Is the Way, Light Is A Place, is like watching a dick go limp.

- Ke was this weirdo that I saw a video of a long time ago. Just some funny-looking dude in leather pants with an unusually high range, being overly dramatic. Great song, though. Look him up. While you're at it, look this up (waving middle finger.)!

- The title of the mix as well as this blog is from the Mogwai song.

Closing Out The Last Of Summer!

Last night's slugfest came as a fitting end to the Jays' season, mashing a league best 247 HR. Let's not get sad, like I usually do when the last traces of summer give way to change. Let's recap some of the positives from this year:


Ricky Romero is a bonafide stud. Although he posted a 13-9 win-loss record this year, you can see with every start when his stuff and control eluded him, RR Cool Jay (@taoofstieb came up with the name) found that battling instinct that only the rare possess, and still made it deep into games. Romero posted 202 1/3 IP. Remind you of somebody? Maybe somebody we knew before?


Snider IS the fucking future! Cito held him back a shit ton for the past two years, and Sniderman (@drunkjaysfans get the credit) WILL get that chip off his shoulder in the years to follow. He even swatted a homer on Cito's farewell night wearing a fake Cito moustache! You gotta love that kid!


JoBau WILL be back next year! He likes Toronto. The steroids are good here.


V-Dub will also be back next year. He had a decent season, but was behind JoBau's shadow.


Yunel Escobar will be patrolling at short next year. As talented as he is lazy, I can't wait to see what he does in the future.


And don't worry, Brian Tallet will still be around to be our whipping boy as, 'Shitty Jay Of Every Game.' @drunkjaysfans recommended a stint on the DL due to, 'arm shittiness.' Plausible.

If you still need a baseball fix, go and root for this guy.


Halladay is one of our own. He just exudes class and excellence. He is our own modern-day Christy Mathewson. Enjoy the likes of him while you can. I'm rooting for Doc to win the Cy. I even tweeted to that retard @punkondeck that he would. But really, fuck that assblood!

If you can't root for the Doc, root for these:


"GO PHILLIES!"

Remember that "Shitty Blue Jay Of the Week," is still on. I've taken a break, because of all the sex I've been having from my honeymoon, but I'll be back with a vengeance. Next up is Carlos Delgado! Send some hate-mail and erotic stories my way . . .

Notes and Scrotes:

- The Beachwood Sparks cover of Sade was from the Scott Pilgrim soundtrack. It's just dreamy and like a warm blanket over me. The original version is best, with Sade hitting everything flawlessly.

- I was on a Perez Prado kick for the longest time, and just wanted to revisit the genius. I'm going to be in Cuba anyway, so . . .

- I had to put that Katy Perry song in there. For one, the original version is awesome. Second, Kaskade putting his touches on her song just bangs the hell out of me. Check it out!

- I don't know where I found that Robot Love track, but holy shit, does it ever mess up my mullet! Find it, buy it, download it, do what you gotta do! It's fab!

- Can't wait for the new Hercules and Love Affair album. Something about a Nina Simone sound-alike singing to a dancey beat just moves me in such a good way.

Another Musical Interlude!

I wanted to post Slaughter's, "Spend My Life," but am having technical difficulties.

You get the idea, though. Right?

I have to cut my mullet!

It's Wedding Weekend!
