It’s in the Dominican Republic. It starts at $3000 per night. Book your holiday here.

New videos from Snoop and Ghostface. Feel like they’re sorta connected (via being around since the early 90s). Also, they’re suprisingly good. Also, also, feeling productive and trying to ‘increase content’ with minimal effort.

Snoop Dogg & Wiz Khalifa – That Good

Ghostface – 2getha Baby

The Pontiac Firebird was in production from 1970 to 1981. You can read a proper history over at Wikipedia. Or Here. Nothing we write here can do justice to the most badass car ever created. Seriously – look at it. The intimidation factor is like a billion. Throw in a blonde pornstars + 80s moustache + a bag of coke and the universe would probably implode.

Thought some of you might enjoy Lucy Carr Ellison’s photography. Wanted something to offset the nonsense with the ponies, the monsters and that whole “we’re so broke from making stupid magazines” bit. So yeah, breastesess. But it’s okay, ‘cos it’s art.

Maru! Greatest Cat Of All Time. Official…

There’s a best-of website here.

I wrote a thing about Gold Coast motels a billion years ago. About all the creepy creeps that run those places. Anyway, Street Carnage recently picked it up. You should go there and read it. Then you should read the rest of Street Carnage. It was founded by Gavin McInnes when he was kicked out of Vice magazine for being ‘too real’ / juvenile. Basically it’s like old school Montreal Vice.

Oh hai, this is the history of Team Evil. It was supposed to be published in Team Evil #5 – our ‘goodbye cruel world’, going out of business finale. That issue is currently on hold. And probably will be for a while. So I guess that means I can upload this and be all *shrugs shoulders*

FYI: The original plan was to present the history as sort of boardgame – that’s why there’s all this weird ‘miss a turn’, ‘jump ahead’ bullshit included in the copy. Figured I’d just leave it in for added ‘authenticity’.

Okay, how to lose a bunch of money publishing a magzine and doing stuff…

1. Harass international edition of Vice Magazine until they relent, tell you a local version is being launched and give you contact details for the local editor.
2. Interview N.E.R.D. for local edition of Vice magazine. (skip ahead to 4)
3. Interview Prince Paul for local edition of Vice magazine. Ask him “Who killed Tommy’s Boy?” (Skip ahead to 6)
4. Find out Vice don’t want to run either the N.E.R.D. or Prince Paul Interviews after all (Miss a turn)
5. Decide to put together a little fanzine with those rejected Vice interviews. Add a few other articles. Decide no one is quite ready for a piece titled ‘A Pony named N*gga’ and scrap it.
6. Find a graphic designer [John Citizen] to compile the whole ego-tastic project. Put up $1500 of your own money to print 1000 copies and distribute them around Brisbane. (Skip ahead one step)
7. Decide to form fake Japanese pop group called Super Pussy Panda Girls (for no apparent reason). Get Nique clothing to stump up the money and host a sold out launch for a non existent album / group.
8. Lose day job as club promoter / publicist, decide to dive headlong into publishing and journalism. Hook up with a business partner and decide to launch a national fashion / lifestyle magazine.
9. See the national fashion / lifestyle magazine venture go spectacularly wrong within two months and get sued by (former) business partner. (Lose 2 turns)
10. Decide to form a fake Japanese punk band called Wolf Panda (for no apparent reason). Hire panda outfits, find musicians and tell them to get into a fight halfway through the first song.
11. Spend a year dealing with legal dramas from failed partnership before launching Team Evil 2. Disagree with graphic designer about everything and fight over the front cover for two months. (Lose a turn)
12. Decide to sell some advertising in issue #2 to help pay for it all. Print 3000 copies and distribute to Melb, Syd and Bris. Lose a bunch of money.
13. Return from nine months Sunshine Coast purgatory and take a new job as a debut-editor in Brisbane. Find new graphic designer (Bonsai Foi), churn out #3 while high on pep pills and Red Bull. Lose a bunch of money.
14. Break up with girlfriend of seven years. Learn to drink straight shots of scotch. (Skip ahead one step)
15. Tell yourself that issue #4 is make or break time. More pep pills and Red Bull.
16. Launch issue #4 in a highly illegal rooftop party in Chinatown. Bribe security guard. Lose a bunch of money on the magazine. Manage to avoid public liability nightmare. (Go again)
17. Move to Melbourne because you’re bored with Brisbane
18. Finally get around to Team Evil #5. Find a graphic designer (Hello, Noko).
19. Put out a mini Magazine in a cassette tape box just to be different
20. Decided you’d like to stop losing money on ill-fated publishing ventures and put Team Evil #5 on hold (sorry Noko). Tell everyone to go to www.teamevil.com.au from now on.

I remember going up to Mt Tamborine (Brisbane) years ago, there used to be a paddock full of miniature ponies. I’d take apples for them but if I tried to feed some of the smaller ponies the main HNIC horsey would lose his shit and stomp everyone in the paddock. It was proper ghetto. A horse that only came up to my waist throwing hooves like it was closing time in some Irish dive bar.

We did this thing in Cassette Tape Magazine (still available, incidentally) where we showed how Polish film distributors used promo posters to turn a bunch of dumb Hollywood movies into art-house thrillers. Turns out they did the same thing with dumb monster movies from Japan, aka Kaiju films. Basically, the Polish are a deeply disturbed and morbid people.

Thanks to Pink Tentacle for the images.

Speaking of half assed updates (see below), there’s a new Nas promo / remix thing going around – The Lost Tapes 1.5. You can download it here. It’s a little teaser for the proper commercial release, The Lost Tapes 2.

Yeah, the last Nas album sucked, but … well, hopefully this one sucks less. The original Lost Tapes is still a high water mark in dudes career so you never know.
