The Huntsville Rapist song

This is brilliant, if not just as an indictment on the over-use of autotune and the evidence that it is predominantly a mask for a lack of talent but also because it warms us to know that cartoonish clichés like Antoine Dodson actually exist in the world.

Watch the top video first and watch both all the way through.

Eleventh Commandment interview on Liquid Gold Baby

Those delectable cats at Liquid Gold Baby took the time to interview us recently and are currently featuring it on their website. You can check it out here.

Or if you're just far too lazy to read an interview you can just stare at this picture of a baby sloth I found.



Just to be clear I'm not comparing you to a sloth, although that would be the obvious inference. It's just that I really like sloths. What of it?

Actually if you click the picture of the sloth it will take you to a magical place. Or alternatively you can click on this picture of a kitten to be taken somewhere equally special.



See what I did there? Cheeky.

Busy P.arklife

Parklife is only 6 weeks away. Stoked. And as I'm sure you know by now Busy P is coming back again. The dude is still a hero of ours...if you don't already have a ticket you should probably lift your game.

Can't remember if I've posted these images before but I saw pictures today of another pretty rad stick that inspired me to dig them out. It's a 6'2 with our Midas Touch artwork on it.




If you need to catch us on 03.10.10 we'll be front and centre watching this guy do his thing.



Just kidding. We will actually be front left.

Stop the Sag

Josh and I have been known to sling them pretty low but no politicians have weighed in about this issue in Australia yet. Maybe this would have been the policy to get one of the parties* over the line.



*please not Tony Abbott. He is a 'Lame, gay, churchy loser'. His daughter's words, not mine.

Eleventh Commandment turns 2 today!!

Yep it's been a wild journey but we've somehow made it through the first two years. Over the next 12 months we will likely have lots of temper tantrums and maybe even learn to go to the toilet on our own but for now we're fiendishly shoving cake in our face cos it's our birthday and we'll cry if we want to.

Granted you'll probably want to shower us with gifts to celebrate the occasion but at EC we're all about your pleasure, not ours. So instead of rushing out and spending your hard earned on shiny pretty things for us why don't you reward yourself instead by heading into our online store and picking yourself out something special. That way it will be a present for both of us.

Prices are reduced and everything must go to make room for all the new summer stock we've got coming in. Jump in and help yourself.

Now we're 2 we must be old enough to do this...



And since it is our birthday and we're high on sugar if you email info@eleventhcommandment.com.au with a nice b'day message we might even hit you back with a juicy 60% off discount code. But it will only be valid for 24 hours so you better get in quick.

Stare well



After spending three years in rural Australia studying the written word, Stef Mitchell decided to throw it all away and move to New York with about $5 US and her Canon.

Since then, she has spent six months interning for the iconic Annie Leiobovitz, stumbling her way through coffee orders to finally scoring a role assisting on the set of one of Leibovitz’s infamous Vogue shoots featuring Lady Gaga and Lily Cole.

With future plans to help bed young models along side Terry Richardson when she starts as an intern with him on her return to NYC, Stef is a bright young thing who is five seconds away from humongous things.

“Finding metaphorical diamonds amongst our inner city rough and snapping them with the sensei skills you wish you had, she mixes grit and grime with dappled light and misspent youth.”

With her viewfinder soon to make a permanent move back to the city that never sleeps, this may be your last chance to catch a glimpse of works that will one day make for an expensive and heavy coffee table book.

Talk to God

I am constantly amazed at the cool shit people discover every year at Burning Man. Just stumbled across this.



Rumour has it that it links to another similar booth somewhere else on the playa and the bewildered / ecstatic person you're talking to on the other end is just another Burner. Or maybe that's just what God sounds like?

I can't wait to go

Here is the film clip for New Order's seminal 1983 hit 'Blue Monday'. I went looking for an image relating to Black Friday and ended up here. What it lacks in relevance it makes up for in quality '80s synths. It will also make some killer background rhythms for you while you go and take advantage of our ridiculous discounts. Have fun x

Splendid

Remember that time when everyone on Earth went to Splendour except me?? Well maybe not everyone on Earth but that's what it feels like. Some pretty hilarious photos have popped up on facey over the past week from my friends that lost their minds at Splendour last weekend. But by far the funniest is this one taken by my friend Jen, who found a random passed out near her campsite and decided to leave him a message.



If you are this dude and can prove it get in touch and we'll give you a free tee or singlet for making our day. We might even throw in a photo of Jen so you can decide if you want to call the number.
