QUARTERSNACKS CLASSICS

April 18th, 2010 | 12:57 pm | Daily News | No Comments

Today is the two-year anniversary of what I personally see as this website’s greatest achievement. Sure, we may have garnered some infamy from the Mind Field Re-Edit and footage of Chad Fernandez losing his mind on Ludlow Street, in addition to maybe, possibly, arguably putting out a competent skate clip ourselves here and there (let’s not push it), but “Handycam Snacks” is just on such a high echelon of brilliance that I cannot fathom why it has not rivaled Lady Gaga (what up girl!) as one of the most viewed franchises on You Tube. We can sit here and try to be modest, but everyone killed it so hard in this thing, that we would just be fooling ourselves into believing something that isn’t really true. And above all, we would be disrespecting a true work of art. So perhaps when we are dead and gone, and Viacom buys up the remaining scraps of Quarter Snacks to try and milk potential pockets of posthumous viability from the QS name, the world will sit back and embrace just how magical the late-winter and early-spring of 2008 was. And how this document may be one of the most significant artifacts to back it up.

After keeping it off the internet, and confined to DVD for a full year because I figured the poorly filmed footage already seen on the website deserved to be seen in full quality in all of its horribly filmed glory, Can’t Ban the Snackman Volume 2 is officially online for those who were too cheap (or too smart) to drop the five bucks at Autumn for it. I figure I will eventually put together a page for the complete rosters of all the videos and extended download options if anyone actually needs them, but for now, since updates have been few and far between this month, here are four links.

Global warming is a lie.

Handycam on the Road: Volume 1. A comprehensive display of what a few hundred miles south on I-95 and a lack of effort on behalf of a non-existent three-chip camera looks like. I’d imagine it is at least twenty-five degrees warmer down there right now.

Ted Barrow interviews Alex Corporan about the 80s, the 90s, and the Banks.

Who would have thought that some half-Irish/half-Puerto Rican degenerate trading you a Hennessy shirt from a Mobb Deep video for an unlimited supply of beer on Thursday nights would eventually result in tosilitis.

This video demonstrates more heart than anything you have ever tried on a skateboard. And it reminds me that more cars need to be incorporated in lines when you’re filming in SoHo nowadays. Ever since Hamilton Harris did a car line at Astor, the act has become something of a lost art, and its really a shame. Especially when BMX riders do it so well.

And now, the most important thing to ever be posted on the Quarter Snacks homepage…

A ROB CAMPBELL INTERVIEW

As much as I have had inquiries put into the prospect of interviewing Rob or uncovering some of his hidden footage from the past several years, I have constantly been told that, “He’s not feeling the internet.” I was not aware that print was still a viable method of exposure anymore, but as long as he holds that contention of the digital-age, this brief interview is the best thing we have.

“Yo, shut the fuck up whiteboy. I been rollin’ with you for too long. You out, nigga.”

I am well aware of the fact that this is destined to be the most hated-on thing in Quarter Snacks history, but we had to see the dream realized and brought to a reality. The few involved, and the many exposed shall remain unnamed for fear of never being able to have a job ever again. The is a scenesploitation feature of what skateboarding in New York really is..

This might as well be a documentary about the horrors of Ludlow Street, and what happens when you drop out of college to pursue a career in retail. Lucky star…
