Lance's Secret Dessert Mix

This rockin mixtape was created for you by the marvelously musical Christopher "Lance" Hays ... It's an extremely energetic playlist, perfect for zipping down the highway with yer windows rolled down or blasting it from yer livingroom as you get shit done around the house or whatever the occasion may be!

I was, however a little curious about how the title of the mix came about ... and in case you are too, here's Lance to do a little explaining:

"The Secret Dessert playlist was born in a tiny little Mexican restaurant when Scotty Lee ordered some fried ice cream and ended up with a treat he wasn’t prepared for, THE SECRET DESSERT! Still to this day he has no idea what he ate but was happy that the waitress had opened his mouth to the unknown. “It was like she threw a rainbow of shit in my mouth” Scotty thought.

Peace. Love. Respect...The Secret Dessert."

Wow. You may now indulge RIGHT HERE. Mmm-mmm ... Thanks a ton, Lance!

Ah, Summer is definitely on it's way! The Bad New Bearons scrimmaged against some random baseball dudes this past Sunday in 94 degree heat! We kicked their butts, too I might add! haha ... If you wanna see us live and in action, we're playing TONITE against a team called I'd Hit It!

... Speaking of heat, it's finally "dry yer clothes outside" season! witness:

Andy Stewart recently turned me on to the astounding music of one Robert Alberg, the autistic son of a multi-millionaire ... his back story is beyond creepy ...

Oh yeah ... here is a photo of my stuff hanging at the ALIAS group show, which is currently up right now, along with a ton of other great works of art at Litebox Gallery in Pepper Place:

Speaking of art, this past week I finished a few commisions ...

Here's one I did for Brad Lightfoot of the 60's folksinger, Odetta:

And Brian Teasley wanted me to paint these metal snowmen cutouts ... Now they serve as the OPEN/CLOSE signs for Bottletree:

Also I'll be in a show coming up in June at Naked Art called "Signs Of Our Times: A Modern Take On The WPA" ... these are my contributions:

My god I found a slew of good videos this week ...

First up is this heroically uber-gay one by one of favorite new bands, Male Bonding ... (shit starts really kickin at 1:33!)

There are no words for how much I love this one by Massive Attack:



"Treevenge" = a terrific film short:

Atlas Sound in a cold mausoleum = who could ask for more?! :



A perfectly hilarious video by The Black Keys :




Enter the warped (and maybe drunk) mind of John Lydon in probably the most bizarre American Band Stand clip ever (thanks, Keith!) :

Need some humping lessons? Here's Major Lazer to the rescue! :

I hate using the word "cute", but that's exactly what describes these little kids doing a Deerhunter cover:
