HARD Day of the Dead Recap 2012
Here’s a nice little video showing what you missed at Day of the Dead. (Hint: It was EDM music and hot chicks)
Warped Roadies — Episode 1
Having spent a good chunk of our lives mixed up with The Warped Tour, we’re fairly stoked to see a reality show about our “day job”. And if you believe they have chopped and edited this series to make it seem like working on The Warped Tour is high-stress and extremely tiring, they haven’t.

Why We Love It: The Dancebulance.
Music Festival: The Gathering of the Juggalos
Whey We Love It: A completely gonzo 23 minute infomercial breaks every rule of the standard fest trailer. Low budget, insane, and wavering between absolute genius and total garbage.
The Nickelback Defense
Hated? Check. Reviled? Absolutely. Hilarious? See below as Nickelback responds to the NFL petition for them not to play the Detroit Thanksgiving football game.
