The EADJ Sticker Show

Wherever there are urban areas, there are rats. But also, wherever there are urban areas, there are random stickers. Now, nobody's saying that rats are responsible for putting up random stickers... fuck, I'm not really sure where I'm going with this.

(restart) Hey, have you ever noticed random stickers around town and wondered what the hell they mean? Well, we at EADJ are here to help with our new segment, the EADJ Sticker Show. Using the power of the Internet, we attempt to demystify the sticky goings around town! You're welcome!

• MilkBoy sticker, spotted in an Austin, TX burger joint


Well, pre-sleuthing, I'm guessing this is some kind of record label or music store. And a quick visit to MilkBoy.tv confirms this. It's a recording studio located in Ardmore, Pennsylvania, boasting services such as multi-track digital recording, mixing, and sound design. The fact that the sticker was found in the musical mecca Austin comes as no surprise, then. They also own MilkBoy Coffee, a coffeeshop/bistro that has a stage for music for their label's artists. Neat.



• Sucka Brown sticker, spotted in suburban Los Angeles


Pre-sleuthing, I guess Sucka Brown is some wise-ass self-promoting graffiti artist. A quick Googling, however, revealed Sucka Brown to be worse: a bunch of white guys from Boston playing "funk/pop/rock." And yes, their music is as white bread funk as you can imagine.



Kudos to Sucka Brown for spreading the word of their sub-par, Ruby Tuesday-caliber funk all the way to the San Fernando Valley!

• Leo & Pipo sticker, spotted in Midtown NYC


I assumed Leo & Pipo was some sort of boutique clothier for the sophisticated urbanite who drank Dos Equis and smoked cigarillos. Turns out Leo & Pipo are two Parisian artists who use collages of black and white photography to integrate people from another time into the surroundings of the present.


So essentially their stickers are a big part of their art, and instead of some thoughtless promo slapped on a mailbox, it's *art* slapped on a mailbox. We at EADJ approve of this distinction.

I ordered some hip hop CDs from a company in Brooklyn and got them last week, along with some interesting flyers:



It looks like the beginnings of a true hip hop empire; synergy and diversification and shit. First up, some hip hop smokes:


You know there's gotta be some serious rivalry between the East Coast and West Coast Cigarillo Sales Divisions.


A true hustler likes his smokes to taste like grape. Even his miniature cigars (?!?!?!?)

Next up, three choices for energy drinks: Mac Dre brand, 2Pac brand, and general Hunid Racks brand. I can't tell if the list above the cans are things that go well with the energy drinks or if they're the names of rappers who enjoy the drinks. Especially "Hunid Thow-Wow." I thought I saw him perform on Kimmel last night. And wasn't Bread that seventies band that sang "If?"


But probably most interesting is the "Whats (sic) a Real Hustler?" section on the back, which helps an ad planning department define the Hustler demographic:


A hustler never uses apostrophes and is too busy hustlin to check for spelling errors. And "Construction?!" What ever.
