iPhone 4 vs. HTC EVO

by Eric Hsu

For those of you who know those hipster, college grad, fixed gear bike riding, low carb beer drinking, ipad owning (or wanting), iphone loving, Apple can do absolutely no wrong type people and know how these types vehemently defend Apple and the iphone versus the PC and Android phones, you will absolutely love this.

I decided that I'm going to try to post about something not car related at least once a week. I gotta change up a little here and there once in a while, right? With that being said, Rich in Florida sent me a link to some of Kutiman's mixes on YouTube. His videos/songs are mixes of notes, tracks, and vocals from YouTube only. He doesn't introduce any sounds from external sources at all. Kutiman's tracks are pretty damn incredible so make sure you crank up the sound and check out the funky drumming in I'm New or the beats in Wait For Me. See all of his genius tracks on YouTube or on Kutiman's site: http://thru-you.com/.

Track Day @ Fuji Speedway Jan 11, 2009

On Sunday Roland and I hopped on to the DSPORT tour bus again to go check out the Carmate and Nitto Tire drift ride along. More on the drift day later (probs with sd card). The DSPORT Tokyo Auto Salon tour is actually pretty good, but my schedule did not allow me to go on the entire tour. Today they went to the Nissan R35 GT-R VR38DETT engine factory in Yokohama which was undoubtedly pretty cool too. I do recommend the DSPORT tour for next year if you are thinking about going to the Tokyo Auto Salon. I met some cool people on the tour too.

After Fuji was rebuilt a couple...

R35 GT-R Soundtrack

I hopped on to the DSPORT tour bus on Saturday and went to Super Autobacs in Tokyo. This store is crazy big and smokes the two Super Autobacs in California. Anyhow, I saw some R35 CDs. These were disco, house, euro trance, and love ballad CDs. Not quite my taste, but interesting how the R35 is affecting the car culture. You don't see CZ9A EVO X CDs...

Concerts

Despite the last 3 months being ridiculously busy, I managed to sneak in a couple of concerts. There's nothing like loud music and a little bit (or a lot) of alcohol. If you enjoy the music or concerts in general, it's a great way to just forget about the outside world for a couple hours. I think I have discovered my new activity for occasional stress relief.

Maxwell @ The Shrine Auditorium, November 1, 2008

While I'm not a huge R&B fan, Saya is pretty hardcore so I told her I would be down to check it out. I was super busy at the time, but you have to pay your dues sometime...

Bass From an Unlikely Place

It all started in 1986 when I was about 12 or 13 years old and my buddy Stanley's dad bought him a pair of Cerwin Vega home speakers with 15" woofers (yes the ones with the ribbed, darker orange surrounds). Having older friends who were mobile DJs exposed me to loud music, early hip hop/electro, and DJ speakers like Electro Voice, JBL, and Cerwin Vegas at a fairly early age. I would imagine that most 9-12 year olds weren't exposed to big speakers that young (I could be wrong). ...

Groove Armada

Saturday was a long day. It started with the alarm clock blasting at 5:20am. I had to go to the Performance Nissan meet to work the Cosworth booth at the Orange Show in San Bernardino, CA and meet at Ken's house at 6am. San Bernardino sucks ass. We rolled in at 7am and the bullshit rent-a-cop, wannabe security people decided to do a full on vehicle search on our van. Good thing they didn't find the 10 kilos of coke I brought to a car show. They made us throw away our water, sodas, and food because you had to buy everything from a wannabe King Taco stand called Taco Rico or some bullshit. How fucking dumb is that? Anyhow, so we set up our little display booth and waited for people to come...

I have been crazy busy recently and haven't had a chance to post. Actually I am still crazy busy and still don't have time to post, but fuck it. You have to take a break from the rat race once in a while. So a couple weeks ago, somebody sent me a link to this video. It's really funny if you live in Southern California because you can relate. I'm sure its the same all over the world though. If you've ever been to Glendale and you go to a car wash, you'll know what I'm saying. Pay attention to the words because the shit is hilarious. Kevin & Bean are the masterminds behind this. They host a morning show at the local rock station in the mornings in LA. Just in case you didn't know, the original song is "Bow Down" from the Westside Connection and Ice Cube.

Cloverfield

If you like X-files, Lost, and that kind of mysterious suspenseful stuff then you need to go and watch Cloverfield. Just drop whatever it is you are doing now and go watch it. It's the best damn movie I've watched in a couple years. Two thumbs up, five stars, 10 out of 10, supercalifragilisticexpialioditous, whatever. Just go freakin watch it.

Imagine all of the mystery and suspense...
