Fortunate Sons

Sports Illustrated ran its annual Fortunate 50 story today in an effort to show fans why hot dogs cost $6 at sporting events. Tiger Woods leads the pack again with his $100 Million in endorsements, duh.
BOTH Knicks “point guards” are in the top 50, making a combined $30 Million+. Gross. That isn’t to mention the […]

Happy Birthday, Sad Death Day: Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Jack Dempsey

My favorite filmmaker of all time would be 67 today, had he not committed suicide in 1982. This is a clip from In a Year With 13 Moons, my favorite film of his.

Straight out the municipal beat

In North Jerz, our middle schools get rid of termites and students – extra early!
Gas mask is the new fluoro. Hot.
I love you, West Brook Middle School!
What I want to know is, can I now sue the town to take a chunk out of potential grad school debt? So far I’ve got a pedophile teacher […]

What a Babe: Amy Tichenor

On the days on which I feel the most exhausted, stressed-out and generally discouraged about my oh-so-busy life, I try to think of my overachieving female friends, and remind myself that answering phones isn’t that hard and I should probably quit my bitching and get back to work. Amy is one of the girls I […]

Happy Birthday, Sad Death Day: Stephen Malkmus and Sun Ra

41 years ago, Stephen Malkmus was born in Santa Monica, California and then 27 years later to the day, Sun Ra died in Birmingham, Alabama (or Saturn or something).

Return of the Attack of the Son of The Longest Playoffs Ever

If the Cavaliers / Pistons Eastern Conference snore fest isn’t helping wean you off Ambien, the possibility of a Spurs / Pistons Finals series most certainly will. Now that every “fun” team to watch in the NBA is gone, the very real possibility that the Spurs will sneak past the Jazz tonight into the finals […]

The New Best Guy: Max

Normally we don’t like little bitty dogs at Stay Cold, but this dude can really hang. Despite being a decade plus in age and having broken his hip almost two years ago, he is still pretty active. He belongs to our good friend Rachel, and he lives in Central New Jersey. You can’t see it, […]

Sippin’ Slurpeez In My New Beez

New Balance Japan is releasing a line of 576’s (the ever-popular New Jersey Hardcore enthusiasts sneaker of choice) in colorways inspired by Japan’s ubiquitous konbini. You probably won’t be able to find them here, but next time one of your crimeys get over to the land of the rising sun, you’d best order up a […]

Google Maps is In / On Your Corner

WILDING. Google maps has now integrated a street-level view for all of Manhattan. Type in your address and now you can actually look around the area. I’m thinking they probably had a bunch of vans driving around with hard drives in the back, snapping pictures every few blocks and geotagging it with GPS info. The […]

The Week in Stuff

[Fist note: because of the holiday weekend, The Week in Stuff is once again a late edition.]
Hey bros and brosephines…hope you are all enjoying your Mems Day Weekend. The AG continues to hang by a third, the birds make their thoughts known on immigration, and HRC gets an unlikely backer. Here is some stuff that […]

Weekend Music Preview: ZZZZZ Edition

Nothing fun is happening this weekend. TK Webb’s show at Maxwell’s was cancelled and that band Best Fwends is playing 19 times. I would go see them just for their name, but…you know. You could go see The Faint for $25 at Motherfucker, but, as you have probably noticed, it isn’t 2002. Yeah, […]

(Don’t) Go Do This: Shake Shack

Today is both the best and worst day to go to Shake Shack, seeing as the weather is beautiful.
That being said, don’t go do this because we are going to go do this, and Shake Shack is crowded enough as it is! Check out the Shake Shack webcam to figure out when is the best […]

Joy Embraces All (Drugs)

Dorian Visionheart Dyer makes some real spirit-animal type art that reminds me why my parents stopped doing (real) drugs before having me (i think). Sometime between 1970 and now, this kind of lovefest-nature-babies-are-like-eagles thing got really weird, but Visionheart doesn’t care.

Sneakers Are Ugly

Hypebeast, a blog I read pretty frequently to see what ugly shit people are wearing, has been posting some wack sneakers. I guess it’s because this week was either a particularly grotesque week for sneakers, wearing Nike Crocs is in right now, and / or NBA stars just don’t know how to design clothing, […]

Betrayal! (Or Whatever)

According to reports, Kurt Cobain’s image is being used to sell motherfucking Doc Marten’s. Hope you have a nice day. This is totally gross. [Fist note: does Doc Martens understand that awkward 13 year old punks don’t know about Nirvana?]

I’m Tryin’ To Stay R&B, But Taboo Sex Is A Part of Me
