Vans teams up with Skateboarder Mag for some retro ’70s shirts, The Black Lips release Noc-A-Homa video, and Sex, Caffeine, and Alcohol. I’m eddie DaRoza, and here’s your Daily Detour.

I dare to submit to you that the 1970s was the golden era of skateboarding. The raddest time ever. Skateparks were everywhere, everyone had a blast, and skating had a good style. Vans has collaborated with Skateboarder Magazine, the definitive mag of the 70s on a new line to celebrate the bygone era. Check out this promo clip.
 
Like a fish needs water, I NEED to pick up a few of these shirts.
 
Oh hey. I’m just here enjoying my red bull. If I had a little vodka in here there’s a good chance I’d be on the look out for some casual sex. Because you know that’s how it goes, and scientists just proved it. According to an new study published in the Journal of Caffeine Research, young people who mix energy drinks and alcohol are much more likely to have random hookups then just regular old drunks. The scientist in charge says the reason is because “when you’re drinking lots of alcohol your judgement is impaired, and if you’re having caffeine you don’t realize how impaired you are.” But I think there’s a different reason. People who like caffeine and alcohol are more likely to like like fun. And having sex is fun.
 
And finally today… you might have heard the Black Lips ode to one of the greatest baseball mascots of all-time, Chief Noc-a-Homa. The indian lived in a teepee in left field, prayed for homers, and just did some cool stereotypical native american stuff. The Black Lips just released a video for the song. Here’s a clip.
 
Ok that’s all for me. I’m outta here. You have a nice rest of your day. Later.

On today’s episode: Tom Gabel is having a sex change, Travis Barker selling a Cadillac, and idiot ravers killed dolphins with drugs.

Hey there. I’m Eddie DaRoza and welcome to the Daily Detour.
 
I’m really curious how the next Against Me! album is going to sound. What, with singer Tom Gabel announcing he’s getting a sex change and turning into a women. Yeah, that’s right. Tom has announced via Rolling Stone magazine that he will be known from here on out as Laura Jane Grace, and will begin taking hormone treatments immediately. Tom says he is planning on remain married to his wife Heather. And for her part, Heather says she keeps waiting to get mad. But it just hasn’t happened yet.

 
Have 28 thousand dollars to blow? How about buying one of Travis Barker’s Cadillacs? Travis is selling his 1976 Cadillac El Dorado as it has just been sitting in the garage for sometime. The car has only 31,000 miles, a convertible roof, excellent condition, and if only it could talk I’m sure some great stories to tell.

 
And finally, I’m sure a marine wildlife park seems like a great place to have a rave. There are whales, snow cones, and tons of space. Unfortunately, it’s not. For many reasons. The first being that marine mammals use sonar to navigate and thumping electronic beats make them freak the fuck out. And also the fact that idiots like those at the Connyland Zoo festival last week feed dolphins drugs. Two dolphins from the zoo have died after overdosing on a heroin substitute. Idiots – don’t give drugs to animals, ok?
 
Well that’s all for me. Hope you have a nice rest of your day. Later.
