So if there's gonna be more to heaven on earth than THIS or THIS or THIS ..then it should be these guys... The debut release Step Inside (Rise Above/Metal Blade) is like puttin on a pair of ol' boots..it just feels right, and in the case of Troubled Horse ..too good to be new..I Think Riker needs to take a trip to Sweden like pronto. So be sure to check Out their VIDEO below and then immediatley go buy the record HERE..

****************

FRESHFIVE with TROUBLED HORSE

1. You finally found out that your horse is troubled cause he has no idea where to go in Sweden to find the tastiest of grog .and the best looking mares for him to get a leg up with for the weekend . .. What do you recommend to the troubled feller?

..........I suppose he'd have to go to Norrland in the north of Sweden to get some high end moonshine (best served chilled with Cuba Cola). On the way back home i'd suggest he drop by the Solvalla horse racing tracks for some sexy time with the finest pedigree there.

****************

2. You are putting together your own music festival.. you have to have one band from each of the following era's to open up for ya... and name the festival as well.

'67-'70 - Black Sabbath
'71-'74 - Pentagram
'83-'88 - Metallica
'91-'97 - Nirvana
'02-08 - Cathedral(blushing)

The name of the festival would be: "On High Horses"

****************

3. There's a saying in Sweden Av skadan blir man vis. ( i think) . So who, with that in mind would be the wisest member of Troubled Horse?(based solely on injuries of course:) and what were they.

..........Um... Jens (drummer) has had his genitals injured a couple of times but i doubt he extracted any wisdom from those incidents. Other than that life is much about trial and error and thankfully we've managed to get to where we are now, fairly unscathed.

****************

4. In the middle of NYC , there is a Secret Swedish Cottage that tells stories of UfO's and Sea monsters...Dont believe me? CLICK HERE. Have any of you seen any UFO'S or Sea monsters??

..........Not that many but we have a friend that looks like a Kraken. Apart from the Polar bears that roam the streets, sweden is much like any other place you'd think of.

****************

5. Fill in the Banks ( you may use more than one word per blank, webclips, drawings.. whatever the fuk ya want.

..........Thai food makes me want to *take massive dumps*. All we can do now is *just wait for our bowels to process it* and *then shit like mad*. Sitting back waiting for a moment when everyone realizes all that chili and noodles are bullshit and its about time that *the government shut those Thai fast food restaurants down* once and for all.

Fresh 5 with the MOTH man Joe Puccio

Just as the Mayans predicted, MOTH makes its earthly debut in the year of 12, and along with it comes a FreshFive with its SonicLord Joe Puccio......it's about damn time.

So Peep the 5 , check out the vid, buy the song and turn it up to watch the ladies come runnin.

The FreshFive With Joe Puccio of MOTH

..........

F5: Have you ever smelled MOTH balls?? ... If so . How'd you get his little legs apart.. Explain in it great detail ..

..

JP: You must be new to the MOTH scene or you would never have asked about spreading their legs. And since they are hermaphrodites, so to call them a "he" or a "she" would also prove one misinformed. We all know the proper and most politically correct way to sniff mothballs is to simply pinch the legs together and smell from the rear, that way the naturally occurring musk from the mandatory mothbeard does not interfere with the unique and truffle-like scent of the pluralis-mothicus-orbitus...

..........

F5: You are a multi-instrumentalist, a long - shoreman, a painter, a producer, and one hell of a sportsman... But you have no choice but to make room for one more thing to bide your time with ..

1. Beekeeping

2. Safecracking

3. Birdcalling

4. Cliffdiving

..

JP: I "Beekeeping" myself too busy to start up any new hobbies, although birdcalling does sound serene...

..........

F5: Write a hook that starts off with the line " Plant a seed and Grow some balls "

..

F5: Check check 1 2...Plant a seed and grow some balls, hunt a walrus in the fall. share the meat, a mighty haul. I'm on this page with Masvidal?!!!

..........

F5: Being that you've recently learned to walk again after an accident huntin skunk-apes in Siberia .. Name one place that would be worth walking to for some late night grub in Palos Verdes?

..

F5: Nobody walks in L.A., so i would instruct my driver to take me to the Admiral Risty for the famous Cioppino and a nice glass of cabernet...or taco bell for a chalupa and a mountain dew...it depends what my driver is up for. he is a picky old f*cker, as you all know....

..........

F5: This is a review of your next release .. Fill in the blanks

..

MOTH sounds like what happens when 2 ____VOLCANIC HOOKERS____ collide and their energy becomes a ____RAGING MAGMA ORGY____ that snorts and ____writhes with majestic majesty____ until it rains a million tons of ____UNNATURAL DISCHARGE OF LIFE____ upon the earth.... Only then is there ____ENOUGH EARTHEN BUKKAKE(look it up) TO ENCRUST MANKIND IN AN IMPENETRABLE COCOON OF SEISMIC PROPORTIONS____ .... you would be lucky to survive the simultaneous lovedeath the MOTH brings forth.

I'm glad to see he is back to himself .. He just had his innards taken out, rinsed off in Fiji water, photograhed for the Smithsonian and put back together to be better than ever...

R.B.: At least 12.

2 . Name the one thing that people forget in the making of a stew that makes all the difference in the world.

a FRESHFIVE Q&A with PUNK ARISTOCRAT JASON HOLLIS

Looooooong over due, but like the man himself a Freshfive is neva ever outta style.. Jason Hollis' FreshFive hits the shitranet and a few parked cars along the way. Hollis..a Freshface Legend....an Artist ....A Cultivator, A Motivator, A Liquidator, a CoCreator and bad vibe Eliminator.

The FRESHFIVE with JASON HOLLIS

...

*1. How many Bloody Mary's does it take to make the pain go away?*

...

From the sage advice of a pro; it takes three. One automatically leads to two everyone knows that but with self confidence, faith and a fair amount of tabasco two moves to three with a double shot and the pain vanishes like a thief in the night. Three is the magic number for sure.

...

2. What is the Moral to this story.

Three Blind Mice .. See how they run.

...

Simple: Don't get caught.

...

3. Three options... you must pick one or you go bye bye.

*a. Catch a chicken running wild on Sunset blvd while wearing boxing gloves and yelling i love Kanye!!.*

*b. Work in the clothing department at the Wal-mart in Boise Idaho for a month , with a dress code which resticts you to wear only what they sell.*

c. *Be a Life coach to a transgender complex havin' Maria Carey for free, for 8 months or until the operation.*

Well Option B is simply out of the question - a Target in Palmdale maybe but a Wal-Mart in Boise, no thank you. Option C is also null because I don't work for free; although is does seem like a fair amount of interesting work. So with a very steady mind my choice is absolutely Option A, plus it would reach my target audience on YouTube.

...

4. Name one thing that if given the ability...... you would do to change the world.

...

Eliminate poverty.

...

5. Fill in the ___________'s

...

People have become _______ *so unaware of their own self-potential* _______ that when they are ______ *unable to add something to the material, intellectual, and moral well-being of the place in which we live it makes us all look like an audience of sheep* _______ who have no business being called ____ *to the stage_____ even if Bob Barker says ____ *come on down_____!

"I was dropped by a stork, on a doorstep in York."

Home of peppermint patties, and a surplus of fatties.
First capitol of the states, some like to boast,
I packed it up and moved to the opposite coast.
Living in Cali, might as well call me cheech,
Driving a beat up benz and living by the beach.

Ed. note: EPIC MATH FAIL

2. Your a road dog. If thrown into a convience store with 10 bucks..
Facing a 12 hour ride in a van with 4 dudes .. Whadda ya buyin?

B.D.: It'd likely be an island, but couldn't tell you which one.
I'll be be there because I'll be on an early, temporary retirement.

5 When faced with such a dilema as extreme panic it's best to just turn off your mind for awhile., float downstream and let the magic make everything better.
