EPIC (Every Picture Is Contextual)



This winter the daytime headquarters of Grilling It, has been a dusty record store, so today, I've ripped a few songs that I enjoyed today and run them through the post-o-matic.



We're working on a return to form. The staff of Grilling It will be warming up the pavement that is the path to summer with a smattering of epic text/photo/song/text/video/photo streams of radness.

As I typed yesterday, BACK TO THE GRILL!



Not epic like the new Hulk movie (more on that gratuitous exercise in needlessness later), but epic like Indiana Jones in the Iron Man suit fighting Charlatan Heshtown for the ten commandments tablets, dipping them in a volcano of gold and handing them to Bun B (who, it turns out, is actually A GIANT).

Epic.
Impossible to duplicate.
One of a kind.

Every summer is epic in its own ways. Sometimes you have to dig deeper, look harder, or travel further, but that's all mumbo jumbo on a cloudy Vantasy Island day as I yell GIVE ME BACK MY SUN!



Last summer, I had the pleasure of going to a stadium called "The Library":



They YELLED and SCREAMED and CHANTED at a pro athlete: "Have you ever heard of a boy called ASHLEY!" Amidst cries of "poofter!" and a word that rhymes with front. Ashley's the bloke on the right.



Now, summerists version point oh ate!

Have you ever heard of a boy called Alice?



Everyone out there who is sweating all the futuristic noises and robojox jams...well...for you...here's something everyone can enjoy (those hiding in rave caves under their electro blankets will also enjoy):

ALICE COOPER - Clones



Then Van walks in and says "Quit jiiiiiiving me Tur-KEY!"



VAN MORRISON - You Don't Pull No Punches, But You Don't Push The River

VAN SO REAL



"Sick of lame dudes, frontin with that attitude, talkin' bout they rims and all they damn tennis shoes,"
-Dj Quik



All right, you can go now. Here's a gorgeous song that the Alice Cooper reminded me of. In my little corner of the world, this qualifies as "Lovers Rock."

LCD SOUNDSYSTEM - Great Release


See you on sunset.

BBQ



PS: For the committed:



PSS: Don't sleep on Wayne's World 2. If you do, sleep upside down.

YO. it's good to have you back on the grill, very nice work, ps my comments should automatically be permanently locked in up at the top of the page. that way people will always read them first, which is good because i'm largely better than other people. HUP.
