Beauty In Destruction

slowmoeggs4Actually, scrap that. That headline should have read “beauty in slow motion” because I swear to god, if you film anything slow enough it looks amazing.

Like an egg breaking for example. Under normal circumstances if you broke an egg, you’d be pissed. Nothing worse than unpacking the groceries and as you lift the egg-box this gloopy mess spills out.

But film that gloopy mess in slow motion and it looks amazing. In the vids you’re about to see, eggs get sliced by swords, whacked by tennis racquets, diced up in blenders and punched and the results are strangely therapeutic.

 

 

Well done eggs.

Well done.

New Soundgarden Album Hits Stores Today

120927-soundgardenEvery time a 90s rock band rears it’s greasy head from a decade or more of obscurity, I buy the album for nostalgia’s sake only to end up filing it in the overflowing folder of “albums never to give a shit about again.”

Alice In Chain’s 2009 effort minus their iconic frontman was a sad parody of the band that used to write grunge that was so heavy just listening to it instantly addicted you to heroin.

Stone Temple Pilots and Hole both dropped Frankenstenian albums in 2010 that were nothing more than a sum of the decaying, disused parts from previous albums haphazardly sewn together and zapped (briefly) back to life to terrorise the villagers.

Garbage’s recent album Not Your Kind Of People literally had one decent track on it and the recent Smashing Pumpkins album Oceania, whilst being the best of a bad bunch, was nothing we haven’t all heard before.

Which brings us to Soundgarden’s latest effort, King Animal (in stores today!). You remember Soundgarden right? Growly, screamy vocals, monster grunge riffs, Jesus-complex lyrics (complete with hair and goatee), drums tighter than a nun’s… moral code…

 

 

Soundgarden! Back before Chris Cornell joined Audioslave and dragged both the name of Soundgarden and Rage Against The Machine through the mud? Before he decided to team up with Timberlake and record the 2009 solo album Scream, which affirmed what a gigantic fucking worthless douche he was all along?

Ok, maybe that last sentence was a little  harsh. I mean shit, a failing grunge musician’s gotta eat right? But to hear one of the best lyricists of the 90s sing “That chick ain’t a part of me” was the final nail in the coffin for me.

I wrote Cornell off completely, as did millions of others, so what did he do? He picked up the phone, called Kim, Matt and Ben and was like, “Guys, I fucked up, please let’s get Soundgarden back together and make a fucking face-melting album so the world can stop laughing at me behind my back.”

Is King Animal that face-melting album? Until I hear it, I have no fucking idea, but the first single, “Been Away Too Long” is pretty much stock-standard, meat and potatoes Badmotorfinger-era Soundgarden.

Check it:

 

 

Huh. Promising? I honestly don’t know. I’ve been let down so many times by 90s rock bands in recent years that I’m starting to think they all should have gone the Cobain route and eaten some buckshot while they were still popular and relevant.

Lemme get my hands on this filthy basterd and who knows? Maybe I’ll shock everyone’s pants off and write an album review – remember when I used to do those?

Yeah, me neither Winking smile

Move Over Rebecca Black, There’s A New Talentless, Whiny Teenager In Town

WestbrookeI’m sorry I have to start your guy’s Monday like this, really I am, but the video you’re about to see is just too goddamn awful not to share.

The sick, twisted fuckers who wrote and produced Rebecca Black’s classic piece of internet garbage, “Friday”, have somehow lured another unsuspecting teenage girl into their recording studio dungeon to record a song about Thanksgiving.

I swear to God, this is “Friday” all over again. Irritating, whiny teenager in too much makeup – check. Lyrics so bad you’d swear a drunk four-year old wrote them – check. Creepy black dude hanging out with teenage girls despite his restraining order – check. And then out comes the drumstick…

 

 

Wow. And just like that, Nicole Westbrook’s life is ruined.

Somebody needs to arrest the paedophiles that lure girls into these videos and lock those sick fucking basterds away for life, starting with the fucker in the turkey suit.

I blame the parents. I mean for fuck’s sake, you saw what happened to Rebecca Black, why in the fuck would you ever allow your daughter to work with the same fuckers that made ol’ Bex so unpopular she had to be taken out of highschool because the other kids wouldn’t stop teasing her about how kak “Friday” was?!

And this is basically the exact same song. “First it was Christmas, then New Year after that, then came Easter…” Christ, no shit!

I have a feeling this could provoke an even worse reaction. Singing into a drumstick that looks like a dick is something that the world will never, EVER let you forget.

It’s just. So. WRONG!

Dig These Radass Summer Jams – The Means

The MeansYour Tiger pal has YOUR best interests at heart. That’s right. His goal in life is to make yours better in every way, whether that’s by making you laugh, helping you to think thoughts, or just playing you some sick summer jams.

It’s been a long week guys, so let’s all kick back, crack open a couple of cold ones and dig this sick South African band that come from The Big Smoke and call themselves The Means.

The video for their new song “Fragile Lines” just landed and I must say, the song is pretty damn catchy which is saying a lot coming from a hardened music critic like your buddy Slicky-T.

Check it:

 

 

Very fucking cool ne? I dig it – it’s like The Pixies invited The Cramps over to klap a few bongs, relax to the max and have a jam session.

The Beach Boys might have dropped in as well, just to say hi. But they couldn’t handle the cheese and ended up napping on the couch in the sun.

So don’t be a stranger, go have a look at their site (http://themeans.me), like them on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/wethemeans) and listen up for more tracks from these guys.

In other news, I’m hiking up skeleton gorge tomorrow morning.

Should I be afraid?

Have a killer weekend party people, be safe and remember: it’s better to be a slick willy than a smooth arsehole.

Cell Phone Trolling, My New Favourite Pass-Time

Cell Phone PrankThis shit is too awesome not to share with you guys. I was trolling the interwebs for something rad to post today (another strapped-for-time post, sorry guys!) and I came across this gem.

The premise here is dead simple. Our guy stands near people when they’re on their cell phones, whips his cell phone out and starts answering everything they’re saying.

I described that very badly. Just watch the video below, it gets better as the video goes on so bare with me for the first minute or so and then afterward let’s all hug it out and pop the champagne muthufukkahs cause Friday is only a day of procrastinating away!

 

 

*Pop*

Best “Go Home You Are Drunk” Memes

cd1What I probably should be posting about today is tha fact that ol’ Barack “Barry” Obama has won the US presidential election and the Zomney apocalypse has been conquered.

But instead I’m just going to post a whole collection of hilarious “Go Home You Are Drunk” memes because I’ve got about 15 minutes to write this before today starts kicking my ass.

So with no further ado, here are the best “Go Home You Are Drunk” memes to kill some time while we all wait for that gigantic douchebag Zomney to concede and let us all carry on with our lives.

Rave Video From The 90s – Goddamn Terrifying!

RavepartyThe rave scene descended like an ecstasy-induced plague and hung around for a couple of years making an ass out of itself as millions experienced E for the first time and stroked one another inappropriately.

And then, just as quickly as it arrived it seemed to die out. The music evolved and the world tried to pretend like nothing ever happened.

Was I ever a raver? Hell no. I clung stubbornly to grunge and metal in what I’ve come to think over the years was just an attempt to go against the grain. Then I saw this video and realised that I wasn’t being contrary just for the sake of it. I was being contrary because ravers were fucking idiots.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury. Allow me to present exhibit A: 1997.

 

 

Un. Fucking. Believable.

That’s how I picture hell sometimes. I dare you to find one person in that video who wasn’t on a fucking shitload of E.

My favourite is the chick who looks like she’s an extra from Friends in her blue slacks losing her goddamn mind on E and dancing like an utter twat.

Well done 1997.

Well done.

Escape Monday: Hilarious Haunted House Pics

haunted-house-niagara-falls-nightmare-fear-factory-1Yes, yes I know Halloween is long gone and you guys are probably just as sick as I am of seeing any Halloween-related sheeit, but you need to see these pics!

I’ve stolen all of these shamelessly off Bored Panda, but originally they were taken at the world famous “Nightmares Fear Factory” at the Haunted House in Niagara Falls in Canada.

Check out the Nightmares Fear Factory official site here if you want to try and figure out what exactly is making the people in the pictures below literally shit in their pants with fear. Probably not so funny if you’re one of these people, but man-o-man, I pissed myself laughing at some of these pics!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Which obviously lead to…

Escape Monday: Luminescent Tape Art

ingenious-creative-cubes-from-neon-tape-by-aakash-nihalani-20I’m a little sceptical of this one, I must be honest. The dealy-o here is that this Brooklyn based artist (Aakash Nihalani) sticks luminescent tape to stuff to create the art you are about to see.

What you’ll also see though are photos that I am almost 100% certain are photoshopped up the wazoo. The end result is still really cool though, but there’s no way he could have created these scenes with luminescent tape.

There’s a video I’ve also posted below that shows how he does this but only watch it if you really feel like killing time at work because it’s literally just a guy sticking luminescent tape on stuff.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rad, ne?

Here’s the vid which explains nothing:

 

 

At what point in your life do you think to yourself “Luminescent tape! Fuck! That’s it! I’m gonna stick that shit all over stuff in 3D geometric shapes!”

Sorry. I’m just in a crappy mood because I haven’t had my first cuppa Joe yet.

Lemme get on that…

SlickTiger Has Got The Balls To KLAP The daREDevil Race Boet!

IMG_2179-500x0Okes, lemme just tell you one thing straight that are flippin’ important so switch VLEISBOEK and Twitters off for a minute and listen up!

When OKES was crehated, the genius ou what did it was like, “Yussus! This thing what I have crehated is pretty flippin schweet but ja… something’s not quite right…”

And that ou were right. Something was not quite right. And then the ou realised that this crehation of his, even though it was lank kief, was missing a flippin’ VITAL ingredient when it came to KLAPPING IT and looking flippin’ TIT – BALLS!

The SECOND the crehater guy put the balls on, his crehation came to life and INSTANTLY pumped out FIFTY one-arm pushups and then banged two blonde belters without even breaking a sweat ma charn!

That ou, I like to call him OU1, was the original KLAP GYM BOYCHIE, a picture of him what I have found below, and with the help of not only two, but like flippin’ HUNDREDS of blonde belters, he crehated our entire SPIESIES and gave every ou the magical power of BALLS!

 

 

Think about your balls oke! When times are tough and you got no friends because the roids make you keeping wanting to kill the ous because they are always borrowing your spray tan and finishing it, what have you got left?

YOUR BALLS!

When you’re approaching a GODDESS at Avastar Nightclub with a flippin schweet cocktail because you know THE TRICK and she kicks you in the GROIN for asking her and her blonde belter friend if they wanna come back to your place and BANG, what hurts so flippin much you think you’re dying?

YOUR BALLS!

 

 

And ous, when you’re bored in the gym after your fifth set of 220kilo deadlift and you need something to fiddle with while you think of the next set to KLAP what do you always reach for?

YOUR BALLS!

Your balls okes, are LANK IMPORTANT. And this is why I’m wearing nothing but a bright red speedo that makes me look TIT and running with a buncha sweaty, BUFF CHARNAS through the city in Cape Town today as part of the daREDevil Race.

The ous what organise it do it because they flippin’ LOVE men’s balls so much and realise the power they give a oke to KLAP IT and look flippin’ TIT!

 

 

The ous also flippin LOVE your prostrate BOET! And unlike this one time when I was competing in a WHO’S THE MASSIVEST competition and a other oke was like “Jassis Slicky-T! Are you feeling ok boet? Your prostrates flippin huge man!” and I was like, “Um, ja I feel ok hey?” and he was like, “No boet. I’ve got some KY jelly, come to my changeroom oke, lemme just give you a quick test” and I was like “Shot boet!” and then… ja… and then… umm… nevermind…

But ja, like I was saying – unlike that time, these days you can just get your prostrates checked by a simple prick of a needle ma boedie! How schweet is that?!

So here’s the important bit okes. Because I’ve been klapping it so hard this week I’ve left this to the last minutes, but if you have too, it’s all schweet boet, you can register here and be a part of TEAM TIGER:

https://www.quicket.co.za/events/832-2012-daredevil-run/?ie=056c/1AtbFFJ3VMOf9mDCg==

Run the daREDevil Race 2012 with the BUFFEST OKE IN THE LAND and let’s KLAP CANCER right in the flippin’ BALLS, BOET!

See you BUFF CHARNAS there!
