The Splash House Music Festival is back for the second time this summer, because the best time you had this season needs a redux. If you missed Palm Springs’ first splash-in-the-pool party back in June, grab your sunblock, speedo, stainless steel flask and whatever contraband you deem fit for a three-day desert pool party. Taking place next weekend, August […]

Dirt Nasty & Jack Splash return with more tales of innocence
Who didn’t enjoy the pure, childlike comedy behind the Chain Swangaz last three videos? It was like peering deep into the eyes of a newborn doe, glistening in its afterbirth, and experiencing a sort of Eden-esque innocence for which there are no words. “Steak & Mash Potatoes” set the tone for rapper Dirt Nasty and […]

Rinspeed UC concept the future of urban mobility?
Frank M. Rinderknecht — Swiss-born inventor, entrepreneur and founder of Rinspeed Inc. — always seems to debut something wacky and automotively fringe every year in Geneva, and this year was no different. Compared to the Rinspeed sQuba or Splash (or last year’s uber-useless iChange, the first car to be controlled by an iPhone), this year’s […]

...and best way to pick up drunk Havasu co-eds!
Like the Rinspeed sQuba or Splash, or the even older Gibbs Aquada, the WaterCar is aiming to bring amphibious transportation to the masses. Like all of the above, the WaterCar will almost certainly fail. At least for all their efforts they claim to be the “world’s fastest amphibious vehicle” which could very well be true, […]
