It always pleases me when friends do something interesting and relatively positive with their free time (snorting meth and fighting cops is interesting, but it would be negative and ultimately disappointing). Internet friends Baggsy, Gav and Jordan have launched a new site called Blaggg, which by their own omission is sort of like a Vice.com or Buddyhead for Brighton, England. So far, the content is pretty fresh and should have an global appeal — I live in the USA, and I’m amused by it. The site features music reviews, tips for finding free music, an interview with a local artist, culture news, humor, and more.
The Tramp Juice Olympics has been my favorite post so far, and it reminds me of the days when my meat space friends and I would score an array of heinous malt liquors or bum wines, and then spend the night drinking, getting sick and then getting into fights at local bars or clubs — which is fun when you’re younger than 40. Who am I kidding, it’s fun at every age. I also see a lot of potential in their Hit and Shit column that features Hits (things that are cool), and Shits (things that are not cool).
