The EX's Playlist

Well its been awhile since my last post, sorry about that, I just seemed to have lost motivation for awhile with lacrosse and school coming to an end but this playlist will definitely make up for my absence. This playlist is going out to all my ex girlfriends. I know sounds weird why would I want to dedicate a playlist to my ex girlfriends? Well (for the most part) I have stayed on really good terms with girls I've dated in the past. Also any girl I've ever dated has tried to rip all the songs from my iTunes because they like the music I listen to. Well heres your chance ladies. Special shout out to Alyssa Mccarthy (BC '12) this playlist is mostly for her. See you in a few weeks over a basket of chips and salsa at Chili's.

80s Music Tuesday

I was recently the victim of a vicious hate crime when my ipod was stolen at a party somewhere on Young Drive. You might be saying to yourself, "Why is that a hate crime?". In response I quote the great Michael Scott, "Well I hated it!". Anyways ...since then I have been using my mom's iPod and listening to all of her great 80s jams. Here are a few you might have forgotten about.

Artist of the Day: Mac Miller


This post is a little overdue considering Mac Miller is no longer an underground name and has burst onto the mainstream music scene, but it is still very necessary. Mac Miller is sick. Not much else needs to be said. I saw him open at the Whitt with Wiz Khalifa and if it were up to me Wiz would have opened for him. Mac killed it. Here are some of my favorite songs from him that you might not have heard.

Mash Up Monday


What is Dubstep?

I'm not really sure how to describe dubstep in words so I'll leave that to Dom.
But on a more serious note here are a few dubstep songs that are worth checking out.

Throw Back Thursday: 4

In my opinion I'd say that todays Throwback Thursday is one of the best I've ever posted, so sit back, relax, and enjoy all the childhood memories you have associated with these different things.

Music
Movies
Ferris Bueller's Day Off was a little before my time, but definitely a movie we all grew up with. This class movie still leaves everyone asking, "Bueller? Bueller?"
I'm a dude, shes a dude, hes a dude, We're all dudes, hey!

Out Cold single handedly inspired me to take up snowboarding... too bad snowboardings harder to pick up than skiing, thus the reason I continue to ski. Out Cold is also one of the first movies we see a young Zach Galifianakis show the world why he would soon become one of the funniest actors in history.
God I love this movie. Rick Moranis at his finest.
Another movie I wouldn't be embarrassed to watch today. Still an active member of the He-Man Woman Haters
TV Shows
Back before Nickelodeon got all gay and changed to just Nick or Teen Nick, these are a few shows I grew up on. Nickelodeon killed it in the 90s.

Misc.
Yo Yos were one of the coolest toys to have at recess until they got banned at my school because kids were using them as swinging assault weapons. What was the coolest Yo Yo trick you could do?

My vote goes to Roller Coaster Tycoon as the best computer game ever. Don't even sit there and tell me you didn't used to have one park were you would build a water slide or roller coaster with a steep drop followed by a quick incline without testing it first so you would launch your guests to their immidiate high speed death. Come on now.

Upgrade Your Steez: Swag of the Week

Snapbacks Are Back

In honor of Throwback Thursday this weeks steez upgrade is also a throwback; snapback hats. For a while there was an "underground movement" if you want to call it that of bros straying away from the 59 Fifty fitted hats and wearing vintage snap back hats made from a company called The Game. The only problem for the unlucky few that failed to save their Game hats from when they were little was that retro looking snapback were nearly impossible to find. Ebay had a bunch of these snapbacks, but the only way your were getting one was if if were willing to shell out some serious cash for a hat that was really worth 20 bucks. If I learned anything from the few Economic classes I attended freshman year was that were there is a demand there will be a supply and after some time without a supply companies like Zephyr, New Era, and Mitchell and Ness finally answered the demand with a whole new line of vintage looking snapbacks. After about 15 minutes of browsing different sites here are a collection of the top hats I found. Enjoy.

NFL Snapbacks

NBA Snapbacks

(This Suns hat is actually the real deal when it comes to being vintage. You can find hats like this on amazon.com)


NHL Snapbacks
(Another amazon find)

MLB Snapbacks
NCAA Snapbacks

MISC. Snapbacks

My top pick overall is the Oakland Raiders Mitchell and Ness, but why pick one?
