Did you get a chance to check out The San Diego Music Thing this year?? I did. I got to share a little bit of my experience with artists, producers, labels and more.
Since we love our fans, I’ll share a bit of knowledge with you. I had the pleasure discussing how to market your band with AEG Live, Atlantic Records, Manic Monkey MGMT/Jakprints and Noise Pop!

Have you always wanted to ask your favorite celebrities questions? If I was able to interview one celebrity, it would be to Lady GaGa. If someone gave me the opportunity to follow through on this, I would freeze up in her presence. Thankfully, Jason Derulo is letting you sit behind your computer and ask away from where ever you are in the world!

I think I should win an Emmy for “Most Comedic Blogger”. Just saying.
The Emmys are only 39 days away! I have my favorites already; Modern Family, Glee and Mad Men. Thankfully my favorites are not the only judge of character you have about me. You know that I like whiskey, too.

Looks like the underground came out to rally last night to see Kaskade perform in downtown LA. If you haven’t heard, Kaskade sent out a tweet letting his fans know that he was going to play a block party last night in Hollywood. We rolled up in the thousands and the police showed up with tear gas a rubber bullets. The underground house community was bigger than the cops expected. Oh well,...
VoxBloc got a facelift and we aren’t scared to flaunt it.
We’ve all seen the uproar that occurs when Facebook and Twitter change their layout. I personally tried to avoid the Yahoo! Mail switch for months. VoxBloc’s ego is way too big to deal with any of that riffraff. We refuse to make the same mistake as Heidi Montag or Gary Busey.
We have new Airwalk prizes coming out...
As once said by Captain America himself, “Avengers assemble!” If I were a superhero, my line would be “VoxBlocers assemble!”. I would be able to fly, turn invisible and turn water into whiskey.
I am stoked to see the new Captain America movie, too bad we still have to wait a few more days. Share with your friends below and you can get an exclusive digital comic book!
AIRWALK is here!! The new Mike V shoe is about to hit the shelves and you have a chance to win a pair! These shoes are limited edition and they are rad.
Until then.. you have FOUR WEEKS to win sick swag from AIRWALK. I will be realeasing shoes, shirts, a skate deck, hats, stickets and more! Keep an eye out..you’ll never know when I feel like being nice.

Over at VoxBloc, we were rocking out with TurnTable.fm and I may have just been informed that my taste in music is not fitting enough for the VoxBloc-ers ears. A little TLC never hurt anyone, right?!
We have a ton of rad prizes and badass applications happening tomorrow… hold your breath. Actually, don’t do that. You’ve got about 17 hours to go.

I’ve never been put in jail but I have recieved my fair share of tickets that landed me in court. I’ll leave it at that. The new Falling In Reverse video is filled with hot hot hot chicks. If cops and lawyers looked that sexy all the time, everyone would breaking the law.

I have been single for basically my entire life. I cannot find a man with anything interesting to say, nor do I care what your salary is and I especially do not care about what kind of car you are driving around Los Angeles. I tend to date someone for a month and realize their bright neon shirt is not as bright as our future.
Voxbloc also understands commitment issues. We know blind dates are...
Good karma is in the air over here at Voxbloc. We have partnered up with a ton of bands and brands that are wanting to give back to charities and help our their communities. Set Your Goals has joined the cause and is donating to Keep A Breast.
All you need to do is LISTEN. Stream Set Your Goals and help us out! Once they get to 200,000 listens..they are going to donate $2 from every album...
I LOVE BOOBS. Some have them and others love them. I have them and love them. Image a world without cancer where people do not have to lose them. It seems as if this day and age we all know or have known someone with cancer. The Keep A Breast Foundation exposes young people to methods of prevention, early detection and support. Show your support and enter to win the Keep A Breast Prize Pack,...
I have more presents for you all. The other week I asked you what your bands you were most excited to see at Warped Tour. I had an overwhelming response of killer bands, but some were repeated over and over. WE CAME AS ROMANS and PLACES AND NUMBERS have joined the Voxbloc family. Lets do this.

When it rains, it pours. Thankfully I love the rain. Check out what’s new at Voxbloc! Here are three for you to drool over. More MASSIVE names to come ASAP…
Its cool to be square! Checking In is the newest fad the majority of us are taking a part of. I actually have too many Mayorships: Hermosa Beach, Hot’s Kitchen, Sushi Duke, The Misfit, Voxbloc Downtown and Santa Monica, Waterman’s and Java Man. Obviously I love coffee, food, work and liquor. Priorities.

Tell me how much you love me. Okay okay, stop. I am blushing.
Get out those bathing suits, tie on the Vans for crowd surfing and take off those spikes so you can hit up the mosh pits, WAPRED TOUR IS ALMOST HERE! Think back to all of the bands you first heard at Warped Tour. I remember when Pepper first played on a mini stage near the...
Looking for the STORE?!
Hopefully you’ve been saving up some points because we have some major names coming out ASAP. Now where do you find those prizes to redeem? That is a fabulous questions a few of you have been asking out there.
Here’s the deal, Voxbloc has been going through a lot of badass upgrades that I know you are all are loving. We have been moving stuff around and making...
Contest GALOUR. This is great for me, I love making the day of Voxbloc users. Rian Ellis has just won a phone call from Black Veil Brides, two winners got VIP tickets and Tickets to Country Throw Down last week and we are picking TWO MORE winners TONIGHT.
I’ve noticed a lot of you have had some questions about our STORE tab. We’ve had a lot of updates going on over here at Voxbloc;...

We all sit there and hold our breath until we find out if we were the winner of a contest we’ve been dying to win. The only thing I have ever won is a massive pink flamingo in the 5th grade from Fiddlesticks. That eventually turned into a dog toy. Thankfully Voxbloc offers better contests than stuffed animals.
Here is some insite from our winner of the Jay Leno/Parachute Contest. Island Def...
Share on Facebook and win a MARTIN LXM GUITAR?! Okay..if I HAVE to. Dust off your cowboy boots and rally your friends, Country Throwdown is coming!!!

What do Reba and Blake Shelton have in common? They are both from the state of Oklahoma that was ravished by that streak of tornado’s over the past few weeks.
When I was little, I used to be terrified of storms. I was born in Arizona and all we have out there is lightning and dust storms that sting your eyes. After watching an endless amount of tornado movies, I started having nightmares...
ONLY A FEW HOURS LEFT for this ONE DAY ONLYcontest. Hopefully you Voxbloc users have been up to date and already saw what contest I am talking about. For the ones just hearing this bad ass news, it is not too late.
You officially have the chance to see PARACHUTE perform on JAY LENO on 5/19. Do I need to repeat that so you can shake the shock off? We are giving away Jay Leno tickets to a few lucky...
Tired of getting the cops called on you for noise complaints? I found a solution.
One of my many random talents I have on the side is using vinyls to create sets. A little scratching and mixing and I am good to go for hours on end. I am known around my complex for hosting late night dance parties, which might result in my eviction.
Here is a trick of the trade I’ve learned over the months...
Happy Hangover Day! The water is being chugged and the headaches are slowly diminishing after the festivities of Cinco De Mayo. I don’t know about you but I sure love me some Voxbloc on a Friday afternoon.
I celebrated my Cindo De Drinko jamming out to Thursday. I thought I was hilarious after a few tequila shots by playing all of Thursday’s records on a Thursday. I was brought back...
I may be one of the most competitive people you will ever meet. Whether it be “touch” football or Mario Kart, things will get aggressive. The worst thing you could ever do to me is oust me as the mayor on foursquare of my favorite local bar.

VIDEO DEBUT!!!! (click image)
Zombies personally scare the sh*t out of me. Zombies and that horrific Scream mask. When I was in fifth grade my sister plotted against me and faked her own murder scene. It involved a Scream mask and a zombie. That is the most detail you will get out of me about that tramatic experience, unless you get me drunk. Thats besides the point. Walking dead things are my...
Losing your crowd surfing virginity is huge for any new kid to the music scene. Back in 2000, I attended my first concert in Arizona. Headlining was Sum41 at a venue called Club Rio. After a few more headlining bands played there it all went downhill. Club Rio stopped focusing on music and turned into a dance club. If you drive by now, its a pile of dirt that I can point to and thank Sum41 for...
I wish this was a joke, but there are only eight shows left on The Alternative Press Tour. I was once told that all good things must come to an end and here is a prime example. There are only a few prizes left in our store.. Did you get yours yet? Last time I checked there was only 41 posters left. I just hung up my AP Tour Poster next to my pinata lama hanging from my ceiling, his name is...
My sound of alarm going off this morning was like hitting me on the head with a spiked hammer. Imagine how that feels…dreadful. Social Distortion killed it last night and it killed my dignity as well.
Normally, mornings like this start with me throwing my phone across the room. I realized if I did that then I would be phone-less, which is not an option. That is unimaginable, especially...
A live show, tequila and tacos? Had me at hello. Social Distortion is having their red carpet video premiere & live show at The Music Box in Hollywood tonight. I am getting ready to head out and dive into the traffic caused by Obama, all for the sake of great music. Talk about loyalty!
If you are behind the times (shame on you) Voxbloc hosted a competition with Social Distortion to have YOU...
Hammering Out Wednesday.
Voxbloc-ers UNITE!
Its mid week and I already have a watering mouth that is craving Jameson. Hump day can be the hardest day for many of us but the powerful, majestic, melodic heavy metal vibes from Hammerfall always pick me back up. You should see my hair after a mid-day head banging session.
I am not sure if you know, but Hammerfall has been one of the bands credited for keeping the heavy...
Happy Taco Tuesday.
Hey Voxbloc lovers!
Hope everyone is having a killer Tuesday and reaching out for some greasy tacos as the afternoon stomach growls kick in. Its been so busy over here we have been running around like a drummer missing his sticks. I wanted take a second to let you know what is going on in the Voxbloc world.
How is your beat up van doing? Mine, personally, is not running up to par. With that...
