We at Hi Ho Silver Oh think kids say the darndest things. Especially when they re-enact hyper violent 80's era gangster films in a "kid friendly" way.

Kojak
This is like a lesser version of Shatner's spoken word tunes from the 70's. Yet, I am enthralled . . .

Hard Ticket to Hawaii
Tonight, after YEARS of waiting, Hard Ticket to Hawaii arrived from Netflix. There's little to explain about this movie, except that the writer/director originally worked on the "Wide World of Sports" and invented "the honey shot" (google that one and you'll get a foreshadowing of what this film includes). This film is one of twelve from the "Triple B" Collection--the three b's being "bullets, bombs and babes."
Needless to say, based on the clip below, you'll come to learn our night was made complete by the watching of this flick. Oh, and on top of the fact that there's a razorblade frisbee, there's also a mutant snake.
"You've got a great ass."
"You too, pilgrim."
RENT IT.

Integratron Desert Fun
Yesterday Jon, Wil, Casey and I embarked on a road trip to the Palm Springs region of California, in preparation for a late night slot at Pioneertown's Pappy & Harriet's. It was wild time, getting a sound bath at George Van Tassel's Integratron with reverberating quartz crystal therapy in an acoustically perfect dome, exploring Noah Purifoy's outdoor art installation made entirely of wreckage items, and finding the dopest (and cheapest) thrift store in a random nook of the region.
As we filtered through the dusty racks, the elderly cashiers complimented our tastes in purchasing a jacket with a "Golden Creme" insignia, and an undersized gray sweatshirt with kittens on it. Hell, they even gave us Valentine's lollipops reserved for "handsome looking gentleman" which we politely obliged and ate. Thanks ladies.
Asking them why there was 70's rock music pulsing through the adjacent walls, they casually remarked that Narcotics Anonymous was having a Valentine's dance, which--upon viewing the crowd outside--it became clear they were more interested in hackey sack than cutting a rug on the Rec Center floor. "Oh, but come back soon," the old women remarked, counting our change repeatedly. "We're having a bake sale in a week. The ol' IRS really is making sure we count our dollars now!"
Oh, and Pappy and H's has some awesome folks working there. Killer sound system, and a super warm crowd environment. Plus, there's a bowling alley next door built by Roy Rogers. Saturday was a total win.

Gone Straight From My Head
We're all super proud of our friends out here in LA--they are such creative, kind-hearted kids--and so when we get to collaborate on projects together, the fun level increases tenfold.
Recently, our bud DC Pierson of the Derrick Comedy Team wrote a novel "The Boy Who Couldn't Sleep and Never Had To" and asked Casey to make up a song inspired by the book.
The resulting track, "Gone Straight from My Head" was posted today as part of a free online mixtape based around the book. Download it here! Woot!
Book drops in your local book providing store January 26th!
