all the things you could decide to paint in a vibrant urban neighborhood and you choose "pizza smear" jfc

Don’t know where to complain about this, but I’m kinda over young hip ppl calling everything fucking “goth”.

pretty goth of you tbh

I dunno, most of today's pop culture seems to revolve around either windblown heaths or sacking Rome these days, seems pretty goth to me.

Model Kendall Jenner’s new “Pizza Boys” project, which includes a radio show, Instagram account and merchandise, is a ripoff that is creating headaches for a Los Angeles-based “street artist” who has been using a similar moniker since 2013, according to a new Manhattan federal lawsuit.

Robert Karageuzian, the founder of the LA-based art collective “Pizzaboyzzz,” says Jenner and DJ Daniel Chetrit infringed on his trademark when they launched their “Pizza Boys” online radio program in March, which comes with a similarly named Instagram account.

Was hoping someone would post this to this thread, lol. (It’s been coming up in my newsfeed but only via subscription-only links.)

i aim to inform

Cerebral Ballzy are known for their love of 1980s punk, along with a keen interest in drinking, girls, pizza and skateboarding.[1] The band has received praise for their debut single Insufficient Fare and their energetic live performances. According to the lead singer, Honor Titus, the name Cerebral Ballzy came from a friend who dropped a slice of pizza on a train track and picked it up. Honor said “That was ballsy” and his friend replied “Cerebral Ballsy!”, a play on the congenital disorder cerebral palsy.[9][10]

With tracks like “Insufficient Fare” and “Drug Myself Dumb,” not to mention Titus’ penchant for vomiting onstage (or playing sets naked), their act was neither serious nor smart, a lowbrow code they wholly embrace. “When we started this band, we weren’t concerned with the tunes we were writing,” Titus says. “It was the opposite of strategic—it literally just happened. We purposely avoided political messages. I wanted it to be about pizza and puke, and it’s done wonders.”

In an age of Occupy movements, prolonged recessions, and an enduringly frustrating political landscape, Ballzy found genuine success in the relatable simplicity of youth. Who hasn’t gotten drunk and vomited? Who doesn’t love pizza?

Who hasn’t gotten drunk and vomited? I like pizza. Do you like pizza, Senator?

I wrote about them a few times I think in the Sound of the City era of the Village Voice and I don’t think I knew that his dad was Dres from Black Sheep!

I surprised that about 90% of these bands still exist, must be fueled by pizza power

I did have a ticket for this, it's actually a good lineup but fuck doing a big fest this year

Les Savy Fav on the bill, didn't know they were still going

I spotted them on there first and had the same exact thought. Then Moodles's comment had me looking closer. Really does seem like a fake mash-up of festivals from 04-09 aside from the actual new acts.

aren't they a late night band with Marnie stern now?

we had joy we had fun we had pizza in the sun

just the bass player and drummer are part of the late-night band. i think LSF is semi-retired but they do play live sometimes. they haven't released any new music in a long time.

I've watched this 20 times.

i don't know if this belongs on this thread but i just want to say that people get way too excited about crab rangoon

is this what the modern expression "gooning" refers to?

I've actually had crab rangoon pizza and it was really good!

i sculpted this a few years ago
i just wanted to make something with my hands that wasn't concerned with being Fine Art
i also wanted it to be a celebration of love and life
