Cars : 2016 Dodge Viper ACR

Cars : 2016 Dodge Viper ACR

Many companies build street cars that you can take on the track. The 2016 Dodge Viper ACR is the exact opposite: a track car you can drive on the roads. The fastest street-legal Viper ever, it's powered by a handcrafted all-aluminum 8.4-liter V10 engine producing 645 horsepower, which is paired with a six-speed manual, a race-tuned suspension, carbon ceramic brakes from Brembo, and custom Kumho Ecsta V720 tires. For maximum performance, add the Extreme Aero Package, which gives it the highest aerodynamic downforce of any production car. Built by hand in Detroit.

Gear : Watches : Speck Candyshell Fit Apple Watch Case

Gear : Watches : Speck Candyshell Fit Apple Watch Case

Speck is pretty much synonymous with iPhone protection, and now they’re brining their case expertise to the Apple Watch. The company has just announced CandyShell Fit, which takes their award-winning, dual-layer case construction and applies it to the Apple Watch.

Because Apple Watch users won’t always need (or want) third-party protection, the CandyShell Fit has an easy-on/off design (although, when it’s on, it’s still designed to not obscure the Apple Watch’s aesthetics and functionality.

With CandyShell Fit, fitness fanatics can arm their Apple Watch with extra protection during rugged activities such as CrossFit, rock climbing, and cycling. CandyShell Fit provides full bezel protection to guard the smartwatch’s glass screen, defend against shock, and allow complete access to the digital crown and side button.

CandyShell Fit combines a hard polycarbonate shell to guard against impact and a TPU interior to absorb shock. A raised bezel rises 1.5 mm above the Apple Watch touchscreen to act as a bumper between the face and surrounding environments. CandyShell Fit has been tested against sweat, extreme temperatures, and everyday topical chemicals like sunscreen and lotions.

The $29.99 CandyShell Fit will be available later this month in a range of colors.

Purchase here.

Skylark Lounge Review By Jameson S.: Austin, TX
"This may be our new favorite place in town. Living in Mueller, we had to try this place based on the awesome reviews and how close it is for us.

We went on a Saturday night to check out some live blues music. We didn't eat dinner beforehand since we knew they had pizza and we had to try it. Boy, what a great decision! The pizza was awesome and such a reasonable price! We're already thinking about the pizza we want next time!

The music was great, the vibe was perfect, and the setting was intimate. It just offers a perfect combo of everything for someone wanting to get away from the wildness of downtown Austin. We can see ourselves becoming regulars here."

News : Kendrick Lamar Honored by California State Senate

News : Kendrick Lamar Honored by California State Senate

With only a few months down, 2015 has already proved to be a great year for Kendrick Lamar—mainly due to the high praise his recent album To Pimp A Butterfly has received. However, recently Kendrick received even greater recognition. Yesterday, the California State Senate honored him with the “Generational Icon Award.”

Before welcoming Kendrick to the podium, State Senator Isadore Hall informed the ceremony attendees on all of the reasons why Kendrick Lamar is so deserving of this honor. The award celebrates his constant support of his hometown of Compton, how he has helped fund programs and donate to multiple charities within the community that will keep kids “off the streets and in the classroom.”

When Kendrick Lamar received his award he simply stated, “Being from the city of Compton and knowing the parks that I played at and neighborhoods, I always thought how great the opportunity would be to give back to my community.”

Videos : Willow Smith : F Q-C #7

Videos : Willow Smith : F Q-C #7

Leave it to Willow Smith to make skipping class into a catchy as hell summer jam. There are a few artists in every generation who possess the fiery willpower to remake pop in their own image — Willow is one. Between her unaffected, guileless adoration of one of our own new favorite acts, Girlpool (a phenomenon that Fader has lovingly chronicled ICYMI), and the rash of experimental new tracks she’s unleashed over the last few months, Will and Jada Smith’s daughter has begun to wield her own creative power with real force.

The video for her new song “F Q-C #7″ channels the same rebellion as her 2011 pop smash “Whip My Hair,” but that’s where the similarities end. Willow isn’t rapping here — her voice is too much AutoTuned-honey to really be a flow — but she sings with the same arrogant authority that makes the best rap so fun to listen to. Sorting through the anxiety of school hallway crushes and swearing wide-eyed by the powers of Amethyst crystals under pillows over a self-produced skittering xylophone-backbone, Willow ushers in the era of chakra-pop. Topanga Canyon’s got nothing on this girl’s spiritual dimensions, and she’s managed to funnel all those powers into pop without weighing the song itself down. Instead, it floats and sways like the twilight wheat fields in her video that she co-directed with Mike Vargas.

Singles : Major Lazer : Too Original feat. Elliphant & Jovi Rockwell

Singles : Major Lazer : Too Original feat. Elliphant & Jovi Rockwell

Listen To : Major Lazer : Too Original

Major Lazer continues to give fans more tastes of what’s to come on their upcoming Peace Is The Mission album, thanks to new tune “Too Original.”

Featuring Swedish artist Elliphant and Jamaican singer/songwriter Jovi Rockwell (who previously collaborated with the dancehall/electronic trio on 2009’s “Can’t Stop Now”), the song leans on the more Caribbean side compared to previously released singles. “Too Original” will no doubt be a favorite at this summer’s Mad Decent Block Party, thanks to the blaring horns, flecks of a patois accent, stomping percussions and frenetic synths.

“Too Original” is the latest track off Major Lazer’s forthcoming third LP, Peace Is The Mission. It follows the Ellie Goulding and Tarrus Riley-assisted “Powerful,” the heavy-hitting “Night Riders” with Pusha T, Travi$ Scott, 2 Chainz and Mad Cobra; Ariana Grande’s “All My Love” remix with Soca artist Machel Montano and “Lean On” featuring MØ and DJ Snake.
