Everybody Shake Your Hands! It’s Time For Christmas!

December 23rd, 2009 | Filed Under: Humor, Music

A Use Bombs Christmas gift to you, by way of the The Jazztime Starlight Christmas Orchestra Ensemble:

This is our first “official” skit, so to speak. (See the cute little logo in the corner when you start it up? Awww~ Just look at that little guy!)

In all actuality, the video is to promote the Christmas song we wrote for a compilation by local artists–A Super Gnarly Christmas: Volume One. The original plan was to sell it for charity, but those plans fell through at the last moment. You can still download it for free at the link below if you want to hear what some of the others in the area have to add!

A Super Gnarly Christmas: Volume One can be downloaded for free here!

The video–in case you can’t tell–is a comedy and took a good amount of time and effort to complete. We’ve been working on it for a week and a half, so you better enjoy it!

Naming the Bands

April 2nd, 2008 | Filed Under: Humor, Music

So, a few days ago Josh Hagen and I were discussing my hypothetical punk rock band. This devolved into an all day band naming contest over instant messenger. Who won? You be the judge.

The Time Has Come for Bromance – The Podcast is Upon Us

June 23rd, 2007 | Filed Under: Music, Use Bombs

As I was alluding to some time ago, we’ve been busy with our most recent project. What is it? Bromance.

Along with SuperGnarly Industries, we’ve put together a magical 53 minutes and 29 seconds of Podcast dè la spectacular. The show stars part of the Use Bombs crew that you’ve come to know and love: Arison Cain, Josh Allen, and myself, Arion Robert III. In addition, you’ll be introduced to the intimidating, yet whimsical, Robert “Büb” LaVine.

If you you feel up to the task of allowing the show’s riches to rain down upon you, or you just want to find out more about our NNY based podcast, head over to The Bromance website and download the first episode. It wouldn’t hurt to subscribe either.

You won’t regret following this course of action… hopefully.

Papercraft Sound Engineering Equipment
My secret love of papercraft slams head on into my complete lack of knowledge regarding sound engineering.

Gene Simmons Rocks Times Square with Guitar Hero II
I have friends who love Guitar Hero. I have friends who love Xbox 360. These are the same friends who wake people up by sining Strutter by KISS while playing air guitar.

Good vs. Evil Foosball
I never thought of Hitler, Flash Gordon, Idi Amin, and Saint Francis of Assisi being depicted in such a light. ElevenForty, however, has had such visions. If your dream has always been seeing God versus Lucifer in a game of football, get ready to weep.
The Alameda-Weehawken Burrito Tunnel
Utterly incredible. Not living in New York City, I had no idea such extravagant methods of burrito transport were even feasible. This is certainly a stop I will have to make next time I visit. (It would be great if this were true.)

I Run Ringo

I have found the infinite happiness cheat for life. Allow me to share it with you below. Ensure that you enter this in the proper order.

Dutch Coco Cookie — Dutch Coco Cookie — Dutch Coco Cookie — XL Fudge Round — Whole Milk — Yoshida Brothers (Renaissance) — Trampoline

Don’t think I will be willing to include the invincibility code.
