Ave and Dill quit Alien?

[egbert]

Guess he really didn't know the future...

[Useless Wooden Bench]

Dill seems like he'd love that so many kids are going to try and go to fuckingawesome.com

[Aatila]

[Greg Road]

I can't stand listening to Dill.

[Babby]

I was confused...then intrigued...then I laughed...now I cry.

[MrMojoRising]

This video perfectly depicts my expectations of fucking awesome: Loud, confusing, and regular.

[White Owl]

i hope that dude playing piano sues them so this brand will no longer exist

[natenola forever]

that promo is so new York and  progressive

[Nigga]

If Scumco came out with the same promo, half of slap would be chafed from the massive circlejerk over it. Stop hating just to hate. fuck.

[piftel]

how can anyone over the age of 14 think thats funny? its a really sad attempt at provocation. even sadder that it comes from some 40 year olds.

While I agree that there can be an ugly trend of hateful groupthink on Slap (as much as anywhere, I guess, though things to seem especially negative lately), is it really hard to believe that "promo" would strike some people as less than satisfying?

Then again, if Harmony Korine directed it, maybe right now I'd be like "damn that raises some thought-provoking questions about the roles of exploitation and tolerance in our perceptions of so-called 'outsider art'." YOU JUST NEVER KNOW.

are you saying you actually enjoyed that?

[Laban Fetus]

Yes, this is Jason Dill we're talking about here. He likes to provoke and steal much like his deceased circle of New York artist hacks that included Dan Colen and Dash Snow (though the latter seemed like a real genuine human, semen on a newspaper article is just some straight bullshit)

This company will either be totally rad or totally shitty but if it's gonna pander to the VICE magazine set of yore (i.e. the early 00's aging hipster demographic who are still into cocaine and polaroids of tits)... I'd rather not rep it.

I'll wait and see what unfolds before spitting more bile though.

[Aatila]

As of right now, the only thing I could say I know I don't like is the name.

I do, however, have an old teal shirt of theirs that says "Fucking awesome peddlers of smut" in giant letters that was given to me.  Not really my thing, I should ebay it here in a couple months.

sick! you still have that shirt! that was back when freshjive produced their shit

Just one guy's opinion. I go back and forth on loving and also hating the guy and that video didn't do much for me.

I neither enjoyed it nor hated it, I just took it in. But what it does is give me a little optimism for the future. Give them some time, the right team, and the ability for them to find their niche, and I think the stuff they put out could be sick. I don't understand how someone can just automatically hate something that hasn't even begun yet.
As long as it doesn't end up like corny ass Girl, then I'm psyched.

I know that I like Polaroids of tits.

If Jason Dill was sitting across from me right now I'd roll my eyes at him so fucking hard.

You just brought it full circle to me. �Through several friends I had a small connection at Fresh Jive at the time and a friend sent it out. �I thanked him for the box, but I never knew why HE sent it. �That makes a ton of sense now. �Did this have something to do with that whole "Warriors of Radness" thing?

Nah warriors was another brand that was being pushed out of freshjive at the same time too before they got ripped off. my homies used to work there  give me some shit back in the day too. dill and pisceteli was doing fucking awesome with jive at the time.  He made mad amount of shirts while he was there but they split from klotz to do their own thing.  Im not sure of the full reason of the split though... but i remember the stuff being way cheaper and the concepts were more creative than it is now

What bums me out about the commercial is that humor is attempted to be derived from the video because of the way the guy looks whom, I would assume, could not help being born that way.

Then youve totally misinterpreted the commercial. It was trying to be weird not funny. Weird song, long blackout, cut to dude playing organ. Theyre trying to say the brand is all about talented weirdos. If they were trying to make fun of that guy they wouldve just used the original youtube clip with none of this editing. Expect some (poorly done) david lynch type shit from fucking awesome in the near future. Itll probably get better like every other brand that started out.
