Oakland Duo Takes Limo to Dolores Park to Rap About Four Loko

— By Kevin Montgomery (@kevinmonty) | August 10th, 2011 @ 12:49pm

This video has it all: dancing on park benches, facial expressions that capture the true taste of Four Loko, crowd surfing in a Shell gas station parking lot…

… and it even has Unchill AZN Bro flashing his whitie tighties:

Shit's gross as hell, but if you listen to the lyrics, there's some real gems in there. A tatted white girl talking about putting people into a hearse. Pronouncements that Four Loko never went away. Real talk.

Give it a watch:

(Thanks Sally!)

Corporate Scraper Bikes All the Rage in Oakland

— By Kevin Montgomery (@kevinmonty) | May 17th, 2011 @ 10:23am

I have to say, this is a much finer-looking ride than that PBR fixie that was being sold on Craigslist a few weeks back. Almost makes me want to drink boring sodas again. Almost.

Anyway, this is part of a scraper bike series shot by Matthew Reamer. Be sure to give the entire gallery a look.

Kickin' Ass For The Working Class

A fresh May Day mural from Nuclear Winter and Broke. Coincidentally, this mural sits below two giant billboards—one for Mello Yello and another advising you to listen to a radio show or otherwise be damned on Judgment Day. Likely not the artists' ideal location for such an anarchist/unionist tribute, but kick-ass nevertheless.
