It’s summer.  In Chico, that means we get drunk, go down to the olde’ swimmin hole and then get engulfed in the current mess of smoke caused by the 4 billion fires in Northern California.  At the Synthesis, it means that we have too much cool shit laying around, so we’re giving stuff away.

Our Warped Tour/ Guitar Hero contest has been birthed (it’s a girl!) and now you need to adopt that shit.  We’ve got sick band’s signatures all over this thing, and if we were smart we would throw this on Ebay and spend the money on hookers and beer… but we’re not.  How do you with this fine piece of gaming history?  We’ll I would start by watching the video below, then subscribing to our YouTube channel and leaving us a message telling us how you want it more the Cournty Love was her soul back (who names a baby girl Francis Bean, anyways?!).   Here’s Alex from Cobra Starship reppin it.

In an interview in today’s New York Times, the call girl behind the Eliot Spitzer scandal, known previously only as “Kristen” was revealed to be Ashley Alexandra Dupre, an aspiring R&B singer, as can be heard on her Myspace profile:

I am all about my music, and my music is all about me… It flows from what I’ve been through, what I’ve seen and how I feel. I live in New York and am on top of the world. Been here since 2004 and I love this city, I love my life here. But, my path has not been easy. When I was 17, I left home. It was my decision and I’ve never looked back. Left my hometown. Left a broken family. Left abuse. Left an older brother who had already split. Left and learned what it was like to have everything, and lose it, again and again. Learned what it was like to wake up one day and have the people you care about most gone. I have been alone. I have abused drugs. I have been broke and homeless. But, I survived, on my own. I am here, in NY because of my music. It started when I moved in with a musician during my odyssey to New York. One day, I was in the shower singing “respect.” He and his lead guitarist burst in, had me repeat it and it started. We wrote, rehearsed and toured. After recording a bit with them, I decided to move to Manhattan to pursue my music career. I spent the first two years getting to know the music scene, networking in clubs and connecting with the industry. Now, it’s all about my music. It’s all about expressing me. I can sit here now, and knowingly tell you that life’s hard sometimes. But, I made it. I’m still here and I love who I am. If I never went through the hard times, I would not be able to appreciate the good ones. Cliché, yes, but I know it’s true. I have experienced just how hard it can be. I can honestly tell you to never dwell on the past, but build from it and keep moving forward. Don’t let anyone hold you back or tell you that you can’t…because you can. I didn’t and here I am, just listen to it….

I mean she’s hot, but $1,000 an hour hot? You can bang girls like that in Chico for a couple Grey Goose and Soda Waters and a nice dinner. But whatever, guess its harder for an old ass bald dude. But seriously. PROTIP: Pussy ain’t never worth it!
