NEW YEARZ REZOLUTIONS



We here at SYWH are not cheesy enough to do boring top ten lists at the end of the year, but certainly cheesy enough to do some new years resolutions. We do not dwell on the past like most olds, we look forward to a new year of young bands and trends that we don't understand. We've had a long, cold, hungover weekend to set some goals and think about our aspirations for 2010 (sounds so futuristic still).

1. Working out.
Okay, this one never works for crabcore fattys that never worked out in the first place. They might go to the gym on January 6th, 11th, and 28th then abruptly end their membership in early February or March when the new years sheen wears off and they realize that junk food tastes better. At SYWH, we already go to the gym and listen to Hatebreed on the elliptical machine (hey watch the knees treadmill-we're one year older now!). We just want to go a bit harder this year, get our body fat percentage down a little bit, and fit into our marc jacobs skinny jeans we bought last year.


okay, I couldnt find a pic of MJ skinny jeans, so here are levis from the macys website

2. Love.
Yes, we're gonna find love in 2010. I have a really good handle on reality, so I know that a 20 year old scene girl would never really be a prospect for a long term relationship, and that they would annoy the fuck out of me. Still yet, maybe your dreams are different and involve falling in love with a hot topic model in Los Angeles.

No dummy, she hasn't heard Metallica, and that is a good thing.

3. Find Attack Attack! and start hanging out with/corrupting them
It's true we live in the same city, but I haven't been able to discern what type of suburban ghetto they reside in from the below videos, probably Westerville. The only thing that could annoy me is the whole christianity thing, but I heard after one tour they aren't really into it anymore. Maybe I should do an interview and clear some of this up?


srsly how good is the song in this vid? maybe I'll take them to sweatin sometime...


I feel like we could all bro out, listen to some heavy double bass, and take a trip to cedar point this summer

4. Make Hella Mass Tight Hella Mass Tight
One more plug for Hella Mass Tight, I want to step out of the box and design some different feeling stuff than my day job.

5. Go to more shows
There are alot of great tours coming through this spring/summer, and I'm already polishing the wax from my earplugs and dusting off my air maxes. You're bound to catch our crew at New Found Glory, Breathe Carolina, ABACABB, AP TOUR, and of course the warped tour this year. Maybe this will be the year I partake in some ala carte moshing during Bring Me The Horizon or Blessthefall, completely alienating my friends in the process.


I've got plenty more serious aspirations for 2K10, but those aren't as fun...what are your resolutions for the coming year?

Guest appearance on Something Awful; Pointing Out that Metal Sucks

The internets were blessed with two SYWH collabos this week: one with the legendary Something Awful, and the equally excellent Metal Sucks. Don't sleep on them!


I was thrilled to once again participate in Something Awful's Garbage Day column. If you missed it, check it out here (and the first one here). In this installment I discuss excessive pubic hair, hot girls who go to hair school, and flabby indie rockers. Hopefully you'll see me there again next month, and thanks to Andrew Miller for having me!


On the apparel design tip, I whipped up this shirt for Metal Sucks. I sent them the Illustrator files last night, so I think they're actually going to use this design- sweet! Either way, if you like metal you should definitely be reading MS (unless you're not into post-ironic guttural slamming blackened pagan neostructuralist minimal progressive power groove sumericrabcore funeral thrash, in which case you won't dig the site). If you would like to talk to me about designing your merch, just hit me up!

Top 10 Keyboard Breakdowns Of All Time



Do I really need to explain why you will hate this?! What is wrong with the world? How did we up in a sick reality in which kids in their early 20s want to be in bands with "keyboard breakdowns"???
