This is HOT WAR's Brooklyn debut! We may play first so show up by 9 at the latest to be sure to catch us. This is a "noise-rock" show and I have also seen it described as a "Showpaper Benefit." It should be pretty awesome.

THREE STEPS TO SUCCESS

2008-12-30T16:42:00.000-08:00

A very wise Brooklyn native once gave me the following three step formula for success, words which I will never forget.

1. Stake your claim.
2. Rep your block.
3. Live forever.

This weekend HOT WAR officially moves out of Williamsburg, Brooklyn. No longer will we even be based where we are now, in what some call "East Williamsburg" (or what we prefer to call West Bushwick) but out in REAL Bushwick. (also Brooklyn) This move should see increased productivity as we will be in a music-friendly space. It is time to get serious. Time to separate those who are interested in doing things for real from those who pursue the appearance of living a certain lifestyle.

Time to stake our claim. Bushwick it is.

on the "radio"

2008-12-27T14:36:00.000-08:00

The HOT WAR song "When the Revolution Comes" was featured on the most recent episode of the Zradio internet radio show. They play the best selection of noise, punk, scum, lo-fi, etc. so we strongly recommend checking them out. Go here to listen:

You can hit the "Archive" link and listen to Zradio Show 262 to hear the episode featuring Hot War, but it's all great stuff.

When The Revolution Comes - Hot War

MYTH: eating healthy is expensive

2007-10-05T12:52:00.000-07:00

This is something you commonly hear: "Healthy food is more expensive." Wrong! "Health food" is expensive, but this is a marketing term. It's a con! Don't believe the hype!

It is easy to eat HEALTHY and CHEAP. You simply have to do a little more planning. Here are lots of items which are very healthy and cheap as dirt.

RICE

Go for brown rice, it's much better for you. Soy sauce is cheap too, especially if you buy the bigger bottle. (Kikkoman's is recommended) You can pretty much live for weeks on a 5 pound bag of rice, costs like 6 dollars. I have done it! (the last week before my first paycheck after moving to NYC)

SWEET POTATOES/YAMS

These are great, totally filling, and they taste great with nothing on them! Just boil until they're soft. Very cheap!

BANANAS

Bananas usually go for 50 cents a pound or so. Not only can you eat them on their own, they are the perfect way to sweeten up other stuff without sugar. I put them in yogurt, on top of Grape-Nuts, in peanut butter sandwiches.

EGGS

Your standard eggs cost what? $1.50 a dozen? Even if you spring for free-range eggs (recommended, because have you seen how they usually treat those chickens?) they're only about $3.00 a dozen. 2 eggs and some rice or bread on the side makes a small meal, so that's like 60 cents per meal.

GROCERIES

This is the key. Just buy fresh food from the grocery store instead of "health food" from some "health food" store. Vegetables are cheap. Beans are cheap. Potatoes are cheap. Apples are cheap.

WATER

In most places water is FREE. It falls from the sky for pete's sake. Squeeze a little lemon in there if you want some flavor. Why drink anything else?

I have also received the following advice: Even if healthy eating were more expensive, it is still a very smart financial move because being unhealthy is VERY EXPENSIVE. Do not trust health insurance companies or the government to take care of you.
