WHAT YOUTH EATS: HOT WINGS Not Fried, not traditional, but these wings may beat any other wings
Super Bowl Sunday means football, yes, but also uncrowded waves and really awesome food like beer, nachos, and hot wings. All-American Sunday stuff, really. But today we’re going to talk about hot wings. I can’t really fathom watching the Super Bowl without hot wings. So after you get done shredding, tuck into these grilled little…
For The Love: Andy Davis Episode 021: Playful, psychedelic and light presented by Vissla
You know Andy Davis’ art. Even if you don’t know it yet. It’s fun and colorful and somehow skirts around the psychedelic, but does so in a playful, lively and light way.

Less scuzzy, more refined, with a slightly pop soaked vibe, Down In Heaven will be released May 13th on indie label Grand Jury.

The What Youth Caption Contest Photo captions are dead. Let’s reinvent them.
Photo captions suck because they’re easy to write instead of great to read.
Watch Ty Segall’s Video “Emotional Mugger” A reimagined, twisted 14 minutes of pure insanity
Editor’s note: Our music editor Maya loves gore. And horror. And Ty Segall and all the incarnations that are Ty Segall. But me, I’m terrified of gore. And horror. And while I can appreciate this video’s artistic integrity (because it’s really good), I’d be remiss not to give you a heads up: If you’re a pussy like…
