Not much going on here today other than setting up my sick new office. Shit is so fucking BEAST.

Don’t worry though, we’re gonna take off early for a fucking SICK ass weekend kicking it with the homies.

A couple of years back, Synthesis Videographer and hero to an entire generation of YouTube emos, Video Matt, hit the road with some bands who, at the time were just starting out: the Season’s Company (who are now known as The Maine), Danger Radio, The Scene Aesthetic and Anarbor. He recently dug out the tapes of footage he shot during that tour and compiled them into a couple montage style clips for the Synthesis YouTube channel, the first of which I’ve posted above. If you’re curiosity is piqued, parts II and III are also up over at the shite for your perusal.

As Video Matt cleans out his drawers and closets he’s coming up with all sorts of badass old footage: Fall Out Boy live at Warped Tour, Vaux, Dropkick Murphys, etc. My favorite so far of course, is the above vid of Surrogate playing “The Fence” live at Chico State’s BMU Auditorium. I wonder why that is….

Compared to all the urban legends about shitting in Taco Bell beans and wiping asses with burger buns, this seems pretty tame.

From AP:

Burger King Corp. said Tuesday it has parted ways with an employee who was recorded taking a soapy bath in the restaurant’s utility sink. The nearly four-minute video, which was posted Thursday on MySpace.com, shows the unidentified employee taking the bath to celebrate his birthday.

The worker, who refers to himself as “Mr. Unstable,” appears to be naked.

On behalf of all thr Synthesis bloggers, happy birthday Mr. Unstable. By the way, your music sucks.
