Rugged Heritage

The guys over at Han Kjobenhavn has done it again. Posted earlier about their AW11/12 look book video. A nice and cozy video. This time they’ve done it in a more Danish classic gangster sense. Crazy old men wrecking a Bingo hall, does it get any better? And what a way to show off the collection. Love these guys!

The company of Nepali Gurkhas and the British troops with them were trapped on Hangman’s Hill. They had fought their way onto the huge outcropping on Monte Cassino, southeast of Rome, during the fierce battle there in early 1944, only to be pinned down by withering German fire. Stuck for nine days, they had no means of communication with their lines below. American bombers dropped food and water to them, but much of it fell into German hands. Finally, three British volunteers set out toward the trapped men by three different routes. Each carried a haversack with an American homing pigeon inside. One man got pinned down by machine gun spray, but the other two penetrated German lines and reached their destination. All three men scribbled short messages about the routes they had taken and sent them off to headquarters by pigeon. That night, Allied guns opened fire to clear an escape route along the safe paths the scouts had identified, and the trapped soldiers slipped away to safety. The pigeons, meanwhile, rested safely in their loft.

Who cares about Charlie? The dope one in the family is Martin Sheen, for sure. This scene is from the movie Badlands, great movie by the way, and “Kit” shows us how you actually should put on a denim jacket. 10 seconds into the clip.

I know there’s a lot of denim heads out there. The jacket is a 1950’s Second Edition (type II) ‘Big E’ Levi’s 507 XX Jacket .

Frank Sinatra are among the artists where it seems a little unnecessary to write some info about. Most have their own view and opinion about him, many believe that Frank Sinatra was one of 1900s best voices. I just wanted to say: Hey Frank, you we’re a cool guy, where you at?   

Remember this post about mans best friend? In this clip from the Finnish documentary ‘Steam of Life,’ a man say when was asked by the local police to take in an orphan - he said that he always has room for one more orphan. What a nice friend. But he doesn’t like the sauna despite being finnish.

Zippos soldiers had in Vietnam were well-used, but they also became a symbol and rugged art. They made their Zippos personal and engraved them with whatever they felt like. They expressed their hate, fears, and loathing of the war. The Zippo became a symbol of their souls.

This is going to be a crazy good movie! So looking forward to seeing it. Violently, maniacal and alcoholic, stumbling through life. Just as I sometimes do myself. Well, maybe not in this caliber - but some nights I surprise myself. Those of you who liked Fear and loathing in Las Vegas, don’t miss out.

There’s so much news about Greece’s debt nowadays that you forget that the US has a bigger debt per citizen than Greece, around 15% bigger. Really interesting visualization of the US national debt made by usdebt.kleptocracy.us.

But hey, look on the bright side - “He that dies pays all debts.” - William Shakespeare .

See the whole article to get a chance to get it to your head how much money it really is:

Us Debt stacked in 100 dollars.

America’s largest, oldest and most powerful nuclear bomb is now only a memory of the Cold War. The giant bomb weighed 4.5 tons and was as big as a small car. If released from a B-52 bomber the explosive force of nine megatons could wipe out an entire big city area. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-15453872

Feels great, I´d say. But even though it never was used it still had an impact. Heres´s a memory. I´ve never played with these type of toys. Don´t think my moma let me.

Im a dog-guy. But I don´t like small dogs. Those Chihuahua rats creeps me out. I´d like a big ass dog, they´re more calm and collective. A dog big as a bear - or why not a bear? I´d like a tame bear. Hiking around.

Me I’ll offer you
Pearls of rain
That come from a country
Where rain never falls
I would mine the earth
‘Til after my death
To cover your body
With gold and with light
I’ll make a kingdom
Where love shall be king
Where love shall be law
Where you shall be queen
Don’t leave me now
Don’t leave me now
Don’t leave me now
Don’t leave me now

Back in 1976 in Papua New Guinea Jean Pierre Dutilleux met the Toulambi tribe. It was their first experience of a white man. This is some really interesting footage. One of the most interesting clips I´ve seen on youtube in a long time.

When all I had were a box of cassettes, I’d listened to those tapes hundreds of times, and getting a new tape was fantastic. Today I get whole discographies with a couple of clicks and may never even get around to listen to them.

I have these suckers on sale. Would love to have em myself but they dont fit. Check it out if your interested: http://www.superfuture.com/supertalk/showthread.php?p=2856470

Like straight out of a spaghetti western, thats the “Truth”! From the frontman of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. You can hear that he has a rap background. A video with biblical measures.
