This following song and band I was absolutely OBSESSED with has as a teen. I had a burned copy of their album which I had borrowed from the library (remember... back when people went to the library to listen to CD's...or was that just me?) and I had a photocopied picture of their album art-- in colour, and would listen to the album over and over again writing down the lyrics to each of the songs on the album (have I also mentioned that I have a strange obsession with music and lyrics...let's not get into it now). Anyway, for some reason they just knocked me out square between my eyes before I went to bed. It was so strange. 'Strange Disease' just creeped up on me like a peadophile in the park and now I can't get it out of my head. So here it is to annoy all of you.

Weoo Weoo,

Yesterday I walked along the street with an ex. He told me he had a new girlfriend. They started going out a week after we broke up. He then asked to sit down and so we did. I looked up and smiled at the dirty pigeons in the branches. He started sobbing and told me how sorry he was for everything. He told me he thought of me everyday. I just looked at him. And then, he pulled out this light blue handkerchief to wipe his red eyes with. All of a sudden, at that very moment, one of the pigeons decided to take a runny shit, and it landed directly on his handkerchief. As I starred at the white fluid running over onto his jeans I decided that from then on, I will always feed the birds.

Since this song has been on my mind, I figured this would be the perfect video as a follow up post to our 420 tribute for those of you looking for other therapeutic measures to cure you of what ails you.

Relieving our belly ache,

On this, holiest of holy days, at 4:20 around the world, people will gather together, on lawns, in basements, in parks, on rooftops, on porches, in school yards, in office bathrooms and yes, perhaps even in monestary chapels where we as marjuana lovers will unite as one powerfull body to release a cloud of glorious sweet smoke to ground flights the world over. That Icelandic volcano has nothing on our reefer power.

So for this reason, we ask all you lovers, smokers and midnight tokers to step into the afternoon glare and blaze one up for ur fellow stoners.

We love you all,

Slice

HERE IT IS! Sky Ferreira's debut Music Video '17'

Dear Slice,
After reading the recent "Hipsters are the new Jocks" MESH - (International Electro-rapper, Brooklyn, NY) and then following the link and reading the recent article by Ad busters (which you can read here) I thought 'Am I a Hipster?'
I couldn't decide my answer- if it was going to be a quite guilty nod or a full throated no (which would be full of an air of superiority because unlike everyone else I hadn't given into it.)
Before I made my decision, there were a few things to consider:

1. I own a bike.
2. I have a blog.
3. One side of my head is shaved.
4. I wear a denim shirt with black leggings.
5. I've met Mark Hunter.
6. Vice magazine was my hero from the age of 12.

So this put me at about 85% hipster. The last 15% was empty because of the absence of lo-fi pictures with analog cameras in my life. There were no Polaroid photos on my wall- nor were there Polaroid photos on my facebook. I was worried. How could I become a total 100% hipster without the photos. (And just an after thought- the fact that I was worried and consciously aware of this- adds at least another 10% to me being a hipster. As 50% of being a Hipster is thinking about being a hipster.)

I was too anxious to add those cool kids I met last night on facebook because I didn't have the goods to back up the meeting. I didn't have the photos. I avoided responding to their friend requests for a couple of days and then joy oh joy. I stumbled across Secret Hipster Heaven.

Poladroid is a program you can download free that lets you turn your ordinary photos in polaroid photos. Above is my friend's photo she turned into a polaroid using the program.

Obviously - in hipster reality- we would all like to have genuine polaroid photos but we have to realise this isn't always going to turn out. If we want to live the dream- we're going to have to make a few sacrifices along the way and I am ready and mature enough to make such decisions.

I've already got four new profile pictures and three new totally rad* friends.

Love Frankie
(who is currently 110% hipster)

*rad is hipster for cool. Not cool in the sense of obviously trying to be cool, cool in the sense of not trying to be cool, just naturally cool (but in this not trying, a lot of thinking and pondering and considering goes into it. So really just not trying in an obvious way to be cool , cool. )

Who remembers SNOW!? Well I guarantee if you're from Toronto and you grew up during the 90s then this was your JAM at one point in your life. I thought we'd take a trip down memory lane with Toronto's very own Snow.

Enjoy,
