Hamilton Morris goes to Iceland Fashion Week...kinda



This is a particularly older article and I remember reading it way back. His piece even made the cover. A bit more fear and loathing than his usual adventurous journalism, but good fun non the less. Vice flies Morris to Iceland for their "fashion week" where despondent boredom kicks in and makes for some good mushroom hunting expeditions. Enjoy!

"We can share this ecstasy..."


Waited impatiently for this to arrive. Absolutely brilliant. Proper LP comes out next week. Don't sleep on it, this is going to be one of the best records of the year. Transparent blog wrote, This is potent, seductive and completely absorbing modern pop music that understands the truth of how human experience occurs – never in clarity but overwhelmingly, intensely, in conflict. Submit yourself to it.

It's that time of year again...

MASH Vegas Drag Race from MASH TRANSIT PRODUCTIONS


Last year was pretty good. This time around I am unsure if I can check out all the races and convention booths, but I'm going to do my best. Sometimes life comes up out of nowhere..

Rapha.cc

Fall/Winter line is out.


I had a hard time sleeping last Thursday night because I knew when I woke up Friday morning, I would see the new Rapha winter line. Rapha always saves their best products for this time of year; and understandably so. I love riding in the winter. It gives me an excuse to bust out all my Rapha gear! My whole wardrobe is prepared for fall come to think of it.

This training/fall/winter season sees new arrivals in City Riding, harsh Winter Riding, Paul Smith X Rapha collaboration, more Women's products, new styles and colors in the Cylo-cross line, and a yet to be announced Skin Care line. I have a couple things bookmarked and saved on my account. My birthday is coming up...

Hamilton's Pharmacopeia

Hamilton Morris interviews chemist Alexander Shulgin.

Hamilton Morris is my favorite writer and contributor to Vice Magazine and VBS.tv.

He spends his time writing about his adventures with obscure psychedelic drugs around the world. In the Sapo Diaries,, he ventured deep into the Amazon to find the Sapo frog, a hallucinogenic tree frog, that's venom was used by villagers and tribe members as a form of LSD. On another occasion, he went to Haiti to find a real zombie...or a Nzambi.

I was hoping to see the conclusion to the Haitian zombie episode but was excited to see this episode come to life. I remember reading the article in the Austin Airport and was blown away by Hamilton's vast knowledge of the chemistry behind the psychedelics he took. It's refreshing to see someone so passionate about something so insanely beautiful. Please watch and enjoy!

Texas is the Reason / The Promise Ring EP

Jade Tree's finest from 1996.

I was digging through 45's and 7's at new Zia when I came across a gem. Only two dollars in the used bargain bin, the employees obviously didn't know what they had on their hands. Enjoy!

Vince, Afghan Raiders, is at it again...
I was still jammin' on his second mix, when he hit me up saying he had another one for me. I promise I am working on one for you Vince!

Mr. Vincent Campillo is heading for his new home in SF tomorrow morning. I'm going to miss him so much. He is such a genuine guy, and I feel truly blessed to have him as a friend. You should also befriend him anyway possible, via internet or in person.

Get on this mixtape, don't get caught sleepin...click the pic

Anarchy, Peace, and Litigated

VICE interviews Penny and Steve Ignorant from CRASS.

Are you hip to what I'm sayin?

Put some John Coltrane up in my headphones...


Last night was ruckus. I tried to recall all the drinks I had last night but that got too exhausting. Woke up late but made the most out of it. Record City and Zia with Terry, coffee breaks with Ashley, and free-jazz chill sesh at my house. I picked up a John Coltrane record.

I've been listening to modern-classical-free-jazz all day. A perfect remedy for hangovers. Anything from Blue Note Records or early Atlantic is on point. Most jazz artists have such long careers and extensive discography that sometimes you don't know what you are getting into. Their style could bend and tweek as years go on. They may collaborate with another artists and their sound changes. But you can never go wrong with the classics. I'm thinking of throwing a quick jazz mixtape together but sadly (or luckily) all my best jazz is on vinyl. Get hip to this cat...
