JMSN (pronounced Jameson) has unleashed two wild videos recently, and I’m just getting turned on to his music. I highly recommend checking him out. Peep the videos:

Rock Music Today Is Overrun With Pussies

AR — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 17:11:54 +0000

“Those seeking something with true bluster and force these days will have to sate themselves with an event like the Big Four tour, which, on Sept. 14, will bring to Yankee Stadium no less rippling a crew than Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax and Megadeth – all acts that date back to the ’80s.

When will our own decade create some smart and innovative equivalent to that – or at least to grunge? Maybe now is the time to kick off a movement for the quest: Enough with the sweet-souled stars. Can we please bring back the brutes?” (via)

To be perfectly honest, hip hop suffers from the same pussification, and I put the blame mostly on Kanye West’s insufferable ass. When did men become such whiny d-bags?

Ghetto Lumberjacks Chop Down Tree to Steal Bike

Now I’ve seen everything.

Brooklyn, bring your bikes indoors. Not chained up to trees.

A New Yorker Gets A Ticket For Riding Not In The Bike Lane

So he proceeds to ride in the bike lane regardless if there’s anything obstructing his path. Hilarity ensues.

NYC Bikers, FYI:

§ 1234 of the NY State Vehicle and Traffic Law (VTL) states, among other things, that

bicyclists must use a bike lane if one exists.
bicyclists must ride to the far right-hand side of the street if no bike lane exists.
bicyclists must ride no more than two abreast.

However, § 4-02(e) of the NYC Traffic Rules (PDF Format) explicitly overrules § 1234 of the VTL:

§ 4-02(e) State law provisions superseded. Pursuant to authority provided by section 1642 of the Vehicle and Traffic Law [1], the following provisions of such law shall not be effective in the City of New York: sections 1112, 1142(b), 1150, 1151, 1152, 1153, 1156(b), 1157, 1171, 1201, 1202, and 1234.

Do you have to ride in the bike lane if there is one?

Generally, yes (as per § 4-12(p) of the aforementioned NYC Traffic Rules), except when you need to turn off the road and for reasons of safety, and only if the bike lane is usable. Many bike lanes in New York City are not usable; they’re unsafe, obstructed, and not even built to highway code specifications. You could get a bogus ticket for not using them, though.
