A couple new things to get you through the weekend on the front page: Spencer’s genius idea to interview Japanese Devo disciples Polysics completely in Engrish, which you can check out here, and Dirt Nasty aka Simon Rex aka Mickey Avalon’s sidekick, remixing his song “Baby Dick” over the beat to Shwayze’s “Buzzin’” live at the Boardwalk in Orangevale, which you can peep below.

Somehow today ended up being metal day over on the front page, with Spencer’s interview with Metalocalypse creator - and musical mad genius behind Dethklok - Brendan Small going up alongside reviews of the new Torche and Kayo Dot CDs. Read it, then click on banners and make me money so I can afford to eat more Chronic Tacos. GO.

There’s a few new morsels over on the front page for your perusal, including Spencer Rouse’s rundown of the 2008 High Sierra Festival up in them thar hills, and reviews of the new French Kicks, and Street Dogs records. While you’re there, why don’t you go ahead and enter some of our goddamn contests too? DO IT.

Breath easy internet, I have returned to my blogging post. Over the last week and a half I’ve been journeying up the Pacific Coast with Bear Hunter . As it turns out, when I try and write on my laptop while in the van I start to puke all over my band mates — hence, my absence from Synthesis Blog. Over the next few days I will be recounting my harrowing journey (in between fascinating posts about pop stars getting busted for drugs, children with weird growths on their bodies and general paranoid-paranormal fodder). Get ready, dear readers. Get your asses ready.

Chico locals Bear Hunter are taking off today for their Northwest tour. If you haven’t heard their blend of psychedelic indie pop then you should probably jet on over to their myspace page. Their singer trolls around the Synthesis blog, but I can’t for the life of me remember his name. Ehh, fuck it, it’ll come to me later. In the meantime, check out the dates:

Watch as an organized office becomes a land of anarchy and chaos (aka the Synthesis office). Seriously, the mess is a sure sign that we’re being productive! That dude wiggin’ out? That’s just Spencer dancing around to Daft Punk… and those seemingly frightened girls holding eachother are actually our interns swooning over Spencer’s chocolatey mane.
