Lets get loose!

Ok, so i was in Swartruggens for a week, alone, on a game farm... and if you're wondering where Swartruggens is, dont. Who cares? So after this week of.... well... nothing, we were set to play a show the friday night 21:00 at Bohemians in Joburg. By this time im so ampd to go out and pardy and just see people again, that we started partying the second i got out of the car.





Its a skill to be just the right amount of drunk before a show, not drunk enough you might be self concious, and too drunk then u make mistakes. So we get to Bohemians at a scientific equilibrium of drunkness, but then we find out we're only playing at 00:30, so now u cant STOP drinking... needless to say, it wasnt our best show.















So after the show, my friends want to go to a gay bar (we are all tho straight by the way). But, why? why? why?why? wtf!!! but i give in, so we go...






















and then i see why..... super hot girls. unspoilt by the masses of dudes that would usually be hanging around them.


















MONEY SHOT!!!!!
jus, we all ended up, lets just say, having a rad nite!














After that, at about 06:00, Go to Jordans house and drink clean GIN, then 12:00 saterday, to my brother Kruger's house to join their party. a mushroom pizza and we are having an adventure till 4bells in the morning again.
Sunday? i dont know, i was sleeping.

Ling Bot. ART.

I've just come across, some very amazing charcoal partraits. I like this kind of art, because its super detailed and very relistic. (apparently thats something i like in art?), truth is, i dont know what kind of things i like in art, i just know when i like it, and know when i dont, and i dont neccesarily have a reason for it.

I dont want to spoil it too much with my views on it, u can make up your own mind about it, but i think this is fukn rad!

Putting the ART in party!













Yeah, so this one started off after a thursday, when i slept 1h, then friday i didnt sleep and then it was Saturday... Obviously feeling like shit, i had to drink before i got there, otherewise i'd never wake up in time.












We drove to Joburg just as the sun sets to Alpha Love's house, where things are known to get a bit loose. This time tho... the pardy was a bit of a FAIL, but i still finished half a bottle of whiskey and decided, back to Pretoria time!













We got to the show, i had money, but snuck myself and my booze in anyway. I dont know what happened really, just, people, booze, the unmentioned, smoke, smoking of sorts, girls, tights, police and its 4am and we have to go to the next place.












Now we're at Shivas, like all Pretorian peeps have been this time in the morning, already feeling the hangover while you're still drinking and the stuffiness makes you close your eyes that makes it seem that that girl isnt as ugly as you thought 20 seconds ago…. But she is….. she is…. Luckily I didn’t fall into that trap, so off to a house party!!!











The party was surprisingly pumping for 6 in the morning, and everyone was having a good time…. So one guy says to me: “Hey dude, go get us some drinks in that room” and I’m like, “sure dude”, cus if a guys offers me a drink, the least I can do is go get it.












So I get the drinks, and all of a sudden BAM! This guy storms up to me and he’s accusing of stealing the booze… he tried weakly to throw me out, until I decided, ok, I’ll go, fuk, so that was the anti-climatic end… so I just went home at 8am, feeling like shit.

Music featuring in my car today 22/04/2010

I am actually a punk rock/emo/screamo/hardcore music lover by heart, but i also like indie and, well, lots of other bands as well, as long as i can relate with the emotion created by the mixture of the music and the lyrics, i like it. Thats why im not a fan of instrumental music (in general)

Ok, there's actually a weird mix in my CD pouch at the moment, and this is what is in it:

Funeral for a friend (Memory an Humanity)
Memory and Humanity i think is again one of FFAF's most awesome CD's because they have brought back their harder and more upbeat feel from their earlier albums, but also mixed in some of the beauty from "The Great Wide Open, which got a little boring for me at times".

-
Alkaline trio (This Addiction)
Ah, Alkaline trio with all their dark irony.... I love it tho! But this album im sorry to say was a bit.... average... This addiction is the best track, then there's a few more cool ones... the rest, i dont NOT like it, but i dont love it.... its just.... average... .but i will still buy their next album.
-
The Vandals (Look What I Almost Stepped In) & (Hitler Bad Vandals Good)









This band is hilarious, holy Shit!!! Its a weird feeling driving alone in your car and singing along to this and laughing so hard at the same time that your eyes tear up.... then realizing the car next to you has been laughing at you for the last 4 blocks, cus you look so rediculous!!
but they are amazing, fukn sharp lyrics! and it takes you months to decifer what he is singing cus he sings super fast, but when you GET IT, is like a revelation of funnyness!!
-
Every Time I Die (Gutter Phenomenon)
What can I say.... Madness!!! This album is just insane, it never stops and goes.... ok, here's a break down... no... just hits you in the face like a anime movie, slomo, for like an half an hour, then BAM!! knocked the fuk out!

-
The Bled (Silent Treatment)
haha!! this album cover reminds me of Kung Pow, somehow... anyway... yeah this album is hard. not all awesomeness for me... some cool parts that i like, so i listen out for those, but i guess its a good one.

-
Billy Talent (I & II & III)
All the Billy Talent albums are awsome!!! I think the III'rd one is maybe slightly less awsome, but the other two definately some of the best storytelling and creative music I have heard in sooooo long!! This will always be in my car!

-
The Hives (Veni Vedi Vicious)




I have gone through a redescovering of The Hives and its sick! You just cant help partying to this music. Doesnt matter if i have a hangover, a shitty day at work, just broke up with my gf, dog shat in front of your room... nothing. You will get amped! Hahaha!! people have laughed at me soooo hard for partying in my car in traffic! Quite embarresing actually, but i'll keep on doing it!
Thanks The Hives. hehe!
-
Taking back sunday (New Again)
It was obviously hard to follow such a rad album "Louder now", and almost anything would be dissapointing.... But "New Again" is actually very very good! I really enjoi this album alot and its one of those that grow on you the more you listen to it. and thats usually the best ones. So... RAD, but not as rad as Louder now.
-
Escape the fate (This war is ours)
Escape the Fate is just the shitballs!! Their previous album, "There's no sympathy for the dead" was the perfect mix between good clean vox and screaming and the style was emo/metal all in one!!! but not too metal that you feel all metally but just enough, to make the guitar sick!! This war is ours, has a new vocalist for the band, because the previous vocalist is in jail after apparently killing someone and ironically tried to escape his fate by running to Las Vegas... well thats the hear-say version... new vocalist, in my opinion, better in vocals, but Ronnie Radke was Rad'er!
-
I think im goin to end there, there is still Less than Jake, Thursday and many more, but i'll talk about them next time... I might actually have to do some work today...

Lookbook 01/04/2010

I think my previous post was a bit too negative...
as this blog's name is "Thats Rad!" and not "Thats
Frannie whining about shit" so the next will
be more on the topic of radness!
Im a huge fan of lookbook, so i have found
some fashion looks that i think is befuk (awsome)!

Like the jacket and leggings!!! nice!!

This just seems so relaxed...

Everyone likes a bit of rock 'n roll

Well, i know all these photos are girls... but i couldn't get any
rad ones of guys, cus not too many guys post shit on there, for one,
and I'm a man, and i like girls, and i like girls that has style, so...
here's some more cool ones.


Thats some looks i think is RAD!
Girls... dress this way, or this confidently and I'll be easy... hehehe!
whatever...
