Even death can’t hold back the creative nature of the legend JOHNNY CASH. His new video for the track “God’s Gonna Cut You Down” is a stark look at some of today’s most celebrated and talented individuals letting us all remember that no matter how popular we are as people on this planet, there will come a time to pay the reaper.

THURSDAY fans! Check out this commercial that Tom from Thursday just shot to advertise the amp that he uses from Vox Amps.

How do a few STRETCH ARM STRONG fans in Charlotte pass the time  at 1am.  How else but to make a video for “When Sorrows Fall.” Enjoy Black Friday!

Ever hear of a little band called THE RAPTURE? Like em? Have a record player? Let me know why you deserve a vinyl copy of their single “Get Myself Into It” and if it’s convincing, you’ll win one!

You all work hard for the Syn. We know this. We see examples of your work on daily basis.

With that being the case, we wanted to give you a glimpse of the work that we do. Check out what Gray has put together (with the help of our awesome interns) and has waiting for the UPS man.

Check out this fan video for the SAY ANYTHING song “Alive With The Glory Of Love.” You gotta love Legos.

The final REQUIRED round of coffee has been doled out to those able to handle the caffeine intake. Of course, I use the term “handle” loosely. Pete got the shakes a while ago. The price for a championship run is high, my friends. The price is oh-so high. Gray just called the air conditioning system “the blower.” We have our first casuality.

It continues and caffeine-driven insanity is beginning to bury its claws into us all. Pete has pulled ahead with five cups of coffee (two ahead of our quota!)

Interesting Note: At 1:45 I was TOTALLY crashing from the caffeine buzz. However, it took literally a sip of our 2pm batch (Caramel flavored!) for me to pull a total 180 degrees. Pretty crazy that my body so quickly developed a need for caffeine that just a drop caused an instant reaction in me. Hell yeah, boooooooyyyyeeeee!

It’s noon and we’ve been terribly impatient. One cup of coffee simply wasn’t cutting it as by 11am, most of us wanted more right away. Because of that we adjusted the rules. You must have a cup every two hours AT LEAST. We made a handy tally chart to make sure. Too small to see below the total: (AKA Caffeine Meets Testosterone Meets Stupidity Challenge.)
