The band The Gun Club from Los Angeles is considered to belong to the punk scene. It's also common to think that punks can't play their instruments well, in particular guitars, and in general, if…
It all started in 1950. Automotive culture dominated over all others: cheap cars and equally cheap engines, coupled with a relatively simple arrangement of mechanical parts and an almost complete lack of electronics, made it…
The V8 is definitely an incredible engine, but I've always been in awe of the V16. Because the V16 in my head is directly associated with a car brand like Cadillac. Yes, modern realities have…
Inga Lis is a red-haired, green-eyed model from Moscow, she is 21 years old. A very beautiful girl with perfect curves and expressive eyes. It looks great. Photographers dream of working with her, and her…
Stephen King is overrated. Damn, a little more - and it will become my watch phrase. But seriously, King does not take quality at all, but quantity. A kind of Daria Dontsova from the horror…
Unfortunately, when I try to find something about this car, I only find information that in 2017, the US Border Patrol stopped a PT Cruiser at the border, packed with 19 kilograms of meth, worth…
Uh, I'm a little worried... We have a group of 13 Cats in the blue corner of the ring. This project is a so-called supergroup, which means that all of its members have been in…
Kristina Taylor is a 22-year-old rising country music star from Nashville, Tennessee. Kristina grew up listening to pop, country, and R&B, and cites Miranda Lambert, Eric Church, Shania Twain, Adele, Christina Aguilera, and Pink as…
You know, one of the main problems of the modern world in terms of music is that the rules have changed. If earlier it was possible to record two or three tracks on a record…
No matter how terrible the PT Cruiser turned out to be, it was still able to capture some of the design features from the last century very correctly, and therefore, from the very first moment…
The problem with mastodons like Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, BB King and others is that these guys have made too much music, and I don't have much time to listen to it. Fortunately, I've recently…
Border Radio is a 1987 black-and-white independent film about California musicians. The plot is that one musician Jeff Bailey from San Diego gets into trouble. Jeff goes on the run to Mexico, it's only 4…
I think the Rolling Stones are an overrated band. I think the Beatles are an overrated band. That's the kind of terrible person I am. The best work of these two and many other bands…
Upgrade. Ap... grade... Phew, wait a second, I need to catch my breath. What a wild trip it was! Modern art is so-so, but sometimes the right guys get to it with the right thoughts…
Perhaps the absolute quintessence of the entire history of the American automotive method is the Hummer H1 dragster. With a 10-liter Chevrolet engine that has been almost completely redesigned, and to which is bolted a…
Let's start this week with a car from a slightly different part of North America called The Canning Kid, which was built by Chad Hills, owner of Green Goblin Customs in Canning. Not to be…
The Ford Thunderflite Concept Car, despite the unspoken rule to call this car a concept car, is the 1961 Ford Thunderbird, which was designed by the master of his craft, Dean 'Dino' Arnold. The car…
Model Erin Wasson tried on rocker outfits in Fred Meylan's photo shoot for the French version of ELLE magazine. Stylist Anne-Marie Broulliet helped the girl to embody the images of the hippie 60s and glam…
Darryl Starbird's Predicta… You know, this car is seriously capable of driving you crazy. No kidding. The site from which I am translating most of this article belongs to a cat who is a fan…
Why is Believe the best album by Th' Legendary Shack Shakers? It's just gorgeous! It has everything from Americana to Swamp Blues. Harmonica passages by J. D. Wilkes. Some keyboards from him. And the vocals…
The Guest (2013) is a film that combines a killer electronic soundtrack and a good plot, but the decision of the creators in this very plot not to tell the story of the main antihero…
Russian translation of the subtitles for another film is called Hot Rods To Hell, and in Russian it is known (to anyone at all) under the name 52 Miles of Fear. The year is 1966.…
"Who wouldn't want to jump into a bubble top Rota and burn rubber on it until the smoke billows?" - that's about what Aaron Grote once said. There's just one problem: most of Daddy Roth's…
I think it's time to consider, well, just the most immortal and masculine classic from the world of alcohol - the Old Fashioned cocktail. My recipe is as follows: Read More
So, comrades, I am bringing into the light of our flashlight a film called Wild at Heart of 1990. This is an extremely unusually filmed drama with admixtures of a thriller and a road movie.…
Kid Rock's album "Sweet Southern Sugar" is an eclectic mix of southern rock, blues and hip hop with a pinch of electronica. It comes out very naturally in Kid Rock, although it might sound pretentious…
Another extremely monstrous creation from the world of cars, about which almost nothing is known, is this bike, powered by the legendary Hemi. Who built it? Everyone is silent. Speed, acceleration? Nothing is known. All…
And this time we're going to tell you about a low-grade action movie called Blood Guts Bullets and Octane (Blood Guts Bullets & Octane). The film is somewhat tedious and definitely delayed, and, in general,…
I suggest a cold drink with a low alcohol content. One of the countless galaxy of simple and cheap cocktails with cola in the composition. Read More
I'm increasingly noticing that the best cocktail recipes were invented in the first half of the last century. Alcohol culture, despite the harsh laws on one side of the planet and communism on the other,…
This time the focus is on a wonderful classic film - the Thunder Road of 1958. A cult black-and-white classic in the USA and something distant and unknown in our country. In America, Thunder Road…
I present to you the movie Grand Theft Parsons. Despite the disgusting translation of the title (the Grand Theft Parsons, according to the Film Search), I liked the translation of the film itself. Two-voice voice…
If you were a car kid when you were a kid, then there's every chance that you had little toy cars from Hot Wheels. It is quite possible that they possessed a branded, inimitable crazy…
I have one film that I personally could not understand - the Rumble Fish of 1983. From Francis Ford Coppola, the director of the Godfather, by the way. The synopsis says that this is 'a…
Among other achievements of mankind, it should be noted that people have proved that the V8 can be crammed into a motorcycle. Even a V10 can be crammed into a motorcycle. And even a V12…
Here's another beautiful ship for you, built in the PTeazer workshop, which specializes in - you'd never guess - PT Cruisers. There are many interesting projects in their portfolio. For example, a PT Cruiser with…
And now it's a classic. Cocktail Screwdriver. Probably, everyone knows at least approximately how to make it, but I'll write down the official proportions from IBA.: Read More
Perhaps the most famous among the first films about bikers and motorcycles can be called the iconic film Wild One (The Wild One) of 1953. The plot of the film is based on a short…
So, I ask you to turn your attention to a project by Ronnie Gross from Denmark called Groozer. Like everything else related to PT Cruiser, Groozer is polarizing: for some, it seems that it makes…
I'm offering you something that I can't remember where I came across. But it's delicious, it's called Indian Summer, and it's actually a very good summer long. It's just a pity that our summer has…
I present you something that will knock you off your feet quickly and exquisitely: Long Island Iced Tea (does not translate). There is only one disadvantage in it: to make it, you need to collect…
Let me introduce you to the movie The Loveless of 1981. The second role of Willem Dafoe, his first major, and at the same time the first film in which he is mentioned in the…
By the year 2000, the Chrysler Pronto Cruiser was shoveled over, and the PT Cruiser as we know it turned out. The car started very successfully, people were standing in line waiting for their cars.…
A fresh cocktail. It's called Jack O' Fire. Sweet again, because I love sweet things. So listen up, comrades! Read More
Chrysler is an extremely specific corporation. They've been on the verge of bankruptcy many times, mostly because of their questionable experiments, but they still stubbornly continue to step on the same rake. They go into…
The author's cinema is on the agenda. Director, screenwriter, producer, actor, jack-of-all-trades and (probably) just a good man - Evan Glodell. He managed to make an awesome story for 17 thousand greenbacks (nothing for a…
Let me offer you a cocktail that doesn't have a name, because it's a de facto deviation from the thing called a Revolver, which I made on my own. The original Revolver uses regular bourbon…
Let's quickly mix up one classic Daiquiri cocktail. There are a lot of variations here, but I prefer to use the official IBA proportions.: Read More
The Lords Of Flatbush of 74 is the first film in which Sylvester Stallone had a role with words and, as stated by Sly in an interview in 2006, Richard Gere is still offended by…
And here's an example of what you can turn a 1975 Chevrolet Corvette into - Bubble Ray. Unfortunately, there's not much information about this fancy car, but I'll share what I've found. So, one day,…
Let me offer you a cocktail that is relatively difficult to prepare, but the taste of it is definitely worth the effort. This thing is called an Estate Cocktail. And yes, the photo is mine,…
One of the best biographical films in my memory is definitely The World's Fastest Indian, a somewhat dramatized biography of the inventor and racer from New Zealand, Burt Munro, who accelerated his 1920 Indian Scout…
There's a formula that's been around for over fifty years: take a big engine and cram it into a small car. It even worked with Lexus. Yes, yes, I said Lexus. But Chip Fuz himself…
I suggest something simple and fast, called Black Shooter. Read More
The movie Drive (2011), perhaps, is somewhat out of our subject. Everyone knows that this movie is exceptionally good, it's full of neon and electronic music. It was Drive that gave us Hotline Miami the…
Do you know why I love bubble tops so much? Because it's not just a ghost of the era of space and rocket technology, no, it's a look and a desire. A desire for the…
For fans of White Russian, there is another cocktail with cream, which in total turns out to be about the same in cost, but in terms of taste it turns out to be a pleasant…
Several films have been made about Hank Williams until recently, including Your Cheatin' Heart (1964) and Hank Williams: The Show He Never Gave (1980). Was a new biopic really needed? I think biopic films of…
Bellflower, California is an author's low-budget independent film inspired by dreams of a post-apocalyptic world, and at the same time it is a first-class drama. I was extremely pleased with this film and would like…
Okay, amigos, now I'm going to tell you a little bit about Tequila Sunrise. It's just a super culturally popular cocktail. I think, not least because of the damn beautiful name. The Eagles named their…
Check out what a cute 86 Dodge Ram 50 I found by chance on the Internet. Its name is Show'n'tell, and it's the fastest pickup truck in Hawaii and possibly the fastest Ram 50 in…
The big Lebowski- everyone's thought about it, right? Your Dude rolls out on a rusty Gran Torino and drinks White Russian. It's an immortal movie, and there's no need to talk about it. For obvious…
Today, comrades, a story from the world of lowriders is on the agenda. From the very beginning of their world. The X-Sonic is the most famous car of the Krankers auto club of San Bernardino,…
To date, aerodynamics and automotive design have finally intertwined with each other into something relatively vile - flattened, rounded shapes that hurt the eyes have captured all the factories in the world, finally displacing individuality…
There is one simple and effective thing that can brighten up your dull day and add joy to those days that are not bad without it - Lemon Drop. Lemon Drop? Drop The Lemon? Lemon…
I present to you the first film for which I translated subtitles into Russian, and it is perhaps the best among them so far: Greased Lightning 1977. The film is based on the biography of…
I bet the first association with the words Plymouth Fury is Christina. An evil creature that just tries to kill. Well, here's a radically different Plymouth Fury for you, called the Gas Bubble. Like any…
Alcoholic cocktails are easy and simple to make, and there are many nuances that must always be taken into account. This is real alchemy in a glass. Consider, for example, the B-52, one of the…
Sometimes I get a free minute, and I do what I really want to do: I translate old movies about cars. For example, Russian subtitles for the 1974 film The California Kid by my authorship.…
The Two-Lane Blacktop (Two-Lane Blacktop, 1971) directed by Monte Hellman is one of the backbone of the road movie that blossomed with the lush color of American vineyards in the first half of the 70s.…
The focus today is on Ford's 1955 concept car, the Mystere. Unfortunately, this is one of many concept cars that appeared and was abandoned by its creators immediately after several auto shows. Therefore, little is…
With this beauty, we open our girls section. Here's a girl who loves the band Kiss. And Three Heroes. And records. And a retro TV (or rather, what's left of it). And she lives in…
From the very beginning, rock and roll and cars were inextricably linked. This was due to the time itself: the Great Depression ended, the Second World War ended. Cars and motorcycles only became cheaper and…
