Chinese Burns Unit Share Animated Music Video for "Buffalo Chocolate" from Borrowed Gear Ahead of Australian Tour Dates with The Meanies


Sydney, Australia-based Pop-punk (or xKVLT POP PVNKx) band Chinese Burns Unit returned late last year with their new album. Borrowed Gear was unleasehd just in time for one of the last Bandcamp Fridays of 2021. Glenn "Glenno" Smith is an artist, guitarist, bassist, vocalist, and the primary driving force behind Chinese Burns Unit (C.B.U.) They're about to play a few shows in support of The Meanies—March 31st at The Lansdowne, in New South Wales, Australia and the following day (April Fools' Day,) at Manly Leagues, also, in Sydney. In support of The Meanies' "Better Late Than Never" Desperate Measures Tour, Chinese Burns Unit have released a music video for "Buffalo Chocolate" dubbed "the first single" (if that was the game they played) from their newest album, Borrowed Gear.


"Whilst in the North of Vietnam, Gina and myself were kindly taken to a village near [Sa Pa] by a wonderful woman called Big Pan. She told us the story of her life, marriage, how some of the villagers were full of buffalo chocolate, ate some of the nicest home-cooked food I've ever tasted, walked lots, and, basically, had the most incredible time—as we talked, this song wrote itself," Glenno Smith sahred within a recent Facebook post. "Within an hour of getting home, I flipped open the lyrics I'd scrawled into my pocket book and played guitar. I had missed my guitar and it gave me this song in about 20 minutes—can't wait to go Overseas again. These are my little drawings mainly based on photos of our trips to Vietnam and the animation is by the handsome Ross Tesoriero, Prince of Tempe," Smith charismatically continued.


"Buffalo Chocolate"'s companion video features artwork created by Glenno himself, which was, then, animated together by Ross Tesoriero, otherwise known as Ross Radiation and/or Prince of Tempe. It's without a doubt, an awesome piece of collective artwork chronicling Glenno & Gina's trip across Vietnam that can now be viewed compliments of the Radiation Video YouTube channel. Chinese Burns Unit's Borrowed Gear is now available on streaming services. They'll be hitting the road across Australia with The Meanies as part of their aptly-named "Better Late Than Never" Desperate Measures Tour later this month with additional dates listed on Facbook Events.

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra

Liberty Bell Cracked In 1/2: Ween - "Freedom of '76" (Gene Ween's Final Send-Off)

Chocolate & Cheese (1994) was one of the first albums I bought with my own money. I was in some sort of BMG Music Club , where you'd buy 5 CD's and then get 10 for "FREE." It was all sent through mail order and you picked the titles from some special booklet. I'm almost positive that Chocolate & Cheese's side boob-baring album cover was what initially drew me in... mind you, I was 12-15 and the zany Ween logo/middle finger CD graphic really didn't hurt either. Honestly, I forget how I really felt about it @ the time, but a few years later, my older cousin Josh told me that Ween were this BIG college "jam band." CKY did some sort pf 93.3 radio takeover to promote their new album and played "Freedom of '76" late that night on air. Needless to say, I re-visited Chocolate & Cheese @ about 20-something this go 'round and I fucking loved it! Ween were really weird, yet talented... almost too talented. I can vaguel
