RIP Reed Rothchild 2007-2013

RIP ROTHCHILD Time to put to rest one of the worst kept secrets in the area. Today I am  burying the name and my association with “Reed Rothchild”.  For the new readers who are unfamiliar or anyone else out of the loop, My real name is Jake Komara, not Reed Rothchild.  I started the name back in 2007 when I lived in Las Vegas and every time I got put on a bill to DJ, my name would always be spelled wrong which drove me crazy.  Since I kind of look like an even more mongoloid-ish version of John C Reilly, I decided to change my DJ name to “Reed Rothchild”.  Another awful idea looking back at it.  Get tired of people spelling your name wrong so change it to a longer one.  Plus, I was really a big fan of the movie Boogie Nights. No more nicknames, no alias’s, it’s just Jake from here on out

Right now half of you are saying to yourself “who gives a flying fuck” and like, 4-10 of you are saying “what’s next, Jake?” Well, let me address the 4-10.  I won’t be changing the Head of Rothchild name or brand since I have been fortunate enough to get it to the point where HOR isn’t about just “Reed Rothchild”,  It’s become more of a general movement, mindset, and follower base.  I am simply the Kim Jong Il serving the republic and founding president which has died today, Reed Rothchild. I will work restlessly to continue to build the republic by providing laughs, discussions, and music to all who choose to listen.  In addition, we will be relentless in crushing fuckery, hypocrisy, and all enemies who stand in our way.  I have since put off DJing indefinitely to focus bringing up younger, hungrier people, who are humble, work hard, but need help getting noticed.  That challenge starts today.  For all of you who came out to a DJ gig of mine, listened to a mix, did a shot with me, hit the after hours shenanigans, I just want to say thank you and I will NEVER forget you and the times we had together.  Here’s to making 12 more years of great memories!

Now we mourn today.  For that skinny jeans, Starter Jacket, Jordans wearing bama is gone, just call me Jake.  All Hail the HOR Republic.

The Head of Rothchild App!

HOR App

After 2 months in development, I am proud and excited to launch the new Head of Rothchild app. The free app is available to download on iphone, ipad, and Android. The purpose of the HOR app is to fuse together all of the different platforms, websites, and content that HOR has spread all over the internet. Over the last 3 years we have gone from a small, local DC collective to now having the HOR Republic represented from Dublin to Sydney (and one day, North Korea). Now you have content from all of our social network outlets in addition to the satellite sites such as Hood Tweets. Basically, our goal is to have the most elite app to look at while your bored or on the toilet. The app has a broad range that also caters to all of our music lovers who frequent the site. Stoopgirl’s site Cool Breezy can be streamed in addition to HOR Radio where we have DJ’s do guests mixes for us.

Need HOR stickers? You can order them too right from the app! This is the first version and we plan on adding a lot more to it in the upcoming months. I can’t express enough how excited I am to have a tool now that will bring all of us together. Download the App today as we purge forward in the Republics quest for World Domination.

5 Podcasts you have to checkout

Thought I would share my top 5 audio podcast that I listen to during the week.  Over the past year that I have been listening more to comedians podcasts than I do music mixes.  Here are my go-to’s:

5. The Virzi Effect Podcast unnamed

The Virzi Effect podcast is done by comedian Paul Virzi who talks about his standup shows, sports, movies, and whatever else that happened during the past week.  I got put onto this his podcast after listening to Bill Burr’s Monday Morning Podcast.  My favorite bit he does is called “Unacceptable faces in sports”  example Pau Gasol, Dirk Nowitzski, and Scott Brosius.

SHOW LINK: THE VIRZI EFFECT

4. Joey Diaz: Church of Whats Happening Now Joey Diaz
How do you not love Joey Diaz? I got put onto Joey by listening to him on Joe Rogan when he would tell these mind blowing coke stories including the time when he sold blow to Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown. Since then, I’ve been hooked.  On his podcast he talks about his old party days but also goes into other cool topics that will make you think and actually improve your life. SHOW LINK: The Church of Whats Happening

3. Jim Florentine: Comedy Metal Midgets Podcast Florentine

Jim Florentine is an angry fucking man and you’ll love him for it.  He talks about topics that will make your blood boil from bad drivers, Superbowl Halftime show, fantasy football, and more.  Jim has a unique way of venting his anger that makes you laugh your tits off.  He also tells great comedy stories from when he used to travel with Andrew Dice Clay and Jim Norton. Florentine is also one of the best pranksters you’ll ever know playing brutal jokes other comedians, ex-girlfriends, and whoever else in the wrong place at the wrong time.  At the end of every podcast he plays one of his old prank phone calls off his terrorizing telemarketers CD.

2. The Joe Rogan Experience The-Joe-Rogan-Experience-Twitter-Header-BannerI don’t even know where to start with the Joe Rogan podcast.  He covers everything from life, science, weed, comedy, UFC to hunting, working out, and DMT.  He also does the podcast with comedian Brian Redband who runs the Deathsquad podcast network. They have all kinds of guests who sit in and hang.  Thats basically sums up the podcast is just a funny ass hang in which you’ll  learn a lot in the process.  Never a bad show.
SHOW LINK: JOE ROGAN EXPERIENCE 

1. BILL BURR: MONDAY MORNING PODCAST Bill Burr
The Monday Morning Podcast is by far the best on the internet.  Best part is that it comes out every Monday so it’s a great way to start the week especially if you’re in the cubicle militia. Just like his stand up, Bill goes into breaking down women, sports, relationships, and more.

Cooking with Reed: The Steako

20130115-100429.jpgHad an idea the other day to combine the three the things that are most important in my life, bacon, steak, and tacos. I felt it was time to upgrade the modern day taco by adding weight and adding protein. In the process I created the Reed Rothchild Super Taco that I call “The Steakco”

The giant steak pictured below is going to be our “soft” taco shell. Since it was so big, I feared that it would tear apart while cooking or even worse, while eating. To ensure that the steak stays together, I kept it together by weaving bacon through it by cutting tine slices in it and weaving the bacon through. This holds it together and gives you a bacon treat while eating it. It’s also good while cooking it because the while the bacon cooks in the oven, the grease will drip down letting the steak cook in bacon grease.

20130115-100354.jpgThe ingredients you need a very simple. Same things you need as your cooking a regular taco

- 1 large steak
- Ground Beef
- Bacon (thick cut)
- Taco seasoning
- Chili powder
- Garlic seasoning
- Shredded Mexican 4 cheese
- Sour Cream
- Salsa

20130115-100640.jpg

Put in 1 table spoon of chili powder and dump the entire packet of seasoning on to the ground beef. Chop up a couple strips of bacon then put it in the pan to let cook for a few minutes before putting the ground beef in. chop and stir until the beef is crumbled.

20130115-100703.jpg

I put the steak in for 40 minutes at 350 degrees.

20130115-100736.jpgLet the steak sit for a few minutes. after it sits, cut a stick of butter and melt it in the microwave for 30 seconds then paint brush on the steak.

20130115-102846.jpgLather up the sour cream.

20130115-100755.jpgWhere’s the beef?  Boom!

20130115-100807.jpgadd multiple handfuls of cheese. Mo cheddar, the better!

20130115-100819.jpgSalsa time!

20130115-100838.jpg

The final product

20130115-100858.jpgI bet you think I tackled this beast in 10 minutes. Well, I ate about a quarter of it and my body shut itself down.  There I was sitting there in my living room laid out as if someone broke into my house and shot me.  Missed the entire first half of the Ravens/Broncos playoff game.  It taste amazing though!

Have any food ideas you want me to try out?  Send your best to the Head of Rothchild FB page.

2013 Celebrity Death Prediction Contest

A contest so rich, it has more tradition than Notre Dame Football.  Rolling strong in it’s third year, the HOR celebrity death contest has returned to glory. A star shinning bright above the HOR Republic.  As far as the current 2012 contest goes, we will have the results posted in January.  To be totally honest, I laid a dinosaur size egg in 2012 going a miserable 0-5 on my picks.  Just like when any franchise fails during a season of promise, it’s time to blow the team up and rebuild.  This year I’m not bringing back any of the celebs  from last year starting with a brand new roster.  Before we get into my picks for 2013, lets take a look at what the 1st place finisher will win.

5 POUNDS OF WILD BOAR BACON! 
Mailed directly to your house in a mail safe cooler direct from the butcher!

HOR is giving you the OG Trippy stick, a $169 dollar value

“The OG Trippy Stick is the most advanced way to smoke without being detected. With the simple one click Vaporizer Chamber it could not be much easier for those “Quick Vapes”. Do not let the size of the OG Trippy Stick discourage you. With over 500 hits per charge there is no wonder the OG Trippy Stick is the number one selling Vaporizer on-line!”

How do you enter? It’s simple and FREE

1. IN THE COMMENTS SECTION BELOW, MAKE A LIST OF 5 CELEBS THAT YOU THINK ARE GOING TO KICK THE BUCKET IN 2013.  THEY CAN BE ACTORS, ATHLETES, EVEN TALENTLESS REALITY/INTERNET PERSONALITIES.  YOU GET ONE ENTRY PER IP ADDRESS/FB ACCOUNT.  ANY DUPLICATES WILL BE DISQUALIFIED. IN THE EVENT THERE IS A TIE, WE WILL GO IN THE ORDER LISTED IN COMPARISON.  IF YOU HAD CELEB “X” AT THE TOP AND SOMEONE ELSE HAD IT LISTED 4TH DOWN THEN YOU WOULD WIN ON A TIE BREAKER. ALL ENTRIES MUST BE MADE BY DECEMBER 30TH, NO EXCEPTIONS

2. LIKE the Head of Rothchild FB Page 

PLEASE NO PAST OR PRESENT PRESIDENTS OR POLITICIANS 

Sweeeeeeeeet!  Now I give you, my 2013 Death board.

 Kirk Douglas - During the year I’ll see celebrities on TV who look so bad that I put a mental note to myself to take a look at them in December for the death pool.  I remember seeing Kirk on TV and my eyes lit up at how bad he looked.  Kurt is my first round, blue chip pick. Lets Play!

Zsa Zsa Gabor - I was shocked when I checked her Wikipedia page and saw she was still alive.  She was just recently rushed to the ER and currently has half a leg.  If she gets through 2013, she can easily have a cameo on the walking dead.

Mickey Rooney -I don’t know much about Mickey except that he’s 92.  Somethings gotta give and in a rebuilding year, safe money is the play.

Scott Hall - Ay Yo, Razor Ramon, one of my favorite wrestlers of all time.  Last year I picked KoKo B Ware and he came out on top but after seeing the espn short on Scott Hall I was like DAMN.  The way he’s going, 2013 can’t be his year.

Billy Graham - Anytime a religion loses one of their own, it’s a step in the right direction. Cya!

Those are my 5.  I challenge you to beat me because this year, I’m back! Of course like we have to say every year, this competition although morally brutal, is just for fun. If you have a problem with what we’re doing at HOR, you can submit a complaint HERE

Good Luck!

Fuck Yeah Friday Jams #3 Black Friday Edition

*Insert cliche Thanksgiving into Black Friday crazy shopper joke here* Oh yeah, it’s the Holiday weekend, time to not care what everyone is talking about in regards to eating and shopping. I don’t know why it’s even news still, you’ve been doing this for (insert your age here) years now. If you are one of those Black Friday shoppers (I have faith my readers aren’t), are you really thinking to yourself today that “Times might be tough today but thank god I camped out in front of Walmart 3 years ago and shoved that old lady out of the way to get %40 off that handiflip cam” Of course not, because those are the same drones you want to headbutt at your job because their talking about American Idol in the morning. Black Friday shoppers are a parasite that makes the mainstream of our Country shit. We can only hope the Chinese lace whatever product they buy in the most toxic of chemicals to prevent them to going to any future Black Friday sales. With that said, here is our free giveaway of tunes I’m feeling that you won’t have to Tiger Uppercut a 8 year old to get. Happy Holidays, worship Satan.

Stay Hungry Shoppers!

Shitty Internet Rappers: The Jolley Brothers

At this point you’re probably thinking I might have uploaded the wrong picture for the a post containing our infamous Shitty Rappers series but don’t worry, that’s them. They go by The Jolley Brothers but would be better suited if they were called the depression brothers because nothing about their music is Jolly (see what I did there?). These two Abercrombie throwaways come from somewhere called Portsmouth, VA where they claim to sell out every show they perform at and are going on a 45 city tour.

Photobucket

Now we’ve got several requests to put these two Luke Walton’s on blast for a while but really didn’t have to much to work with.  They started off trying to do the typical internet rapper gimmick of making ear stabbing rap songs talking how their so fly and amazing even though they look like their names should be Chadwick and Bradley.  So here is one of their earlier rap tracks that will make you want to hate your internet provider for bringing it into your house.  The track is called “Bro’s on top” so as a disclaimer, by law I am required to say *****PAWS***** and *****NO SWIM TEAM**** it’s work friendly, you won’t see anything gay, whether you hear it is up to you.

Alright, that’s a start. Not ready to hand them the Ziplok crown yet but at least we’re working with something. What’s hilarious about these two dudes is that they know rapping wasn’t going to get them anywhere so they tried to crossover into being EDM performers. Virginia’s own LMFA-NO! They started doing college dubstep (people still listen to dubstep?) parties around Virginia and in doing so would have to change their image to appeal to dubstep bros. This is the part of the trip where the passenger unexpectedly grabs the steering wheel sending the car directly into an electric pole causing the power lines to snap and fall onto car. They debut with a track called “Glowsticks and Candy” which not only is produced terribly but has run on sentence lyrics about generic Molly references. MDMA at raves, we get it! Virginia, you should be ashamed of yourselves.

I apologize, it’s been a while since we’ve done a Shitty internet rapper and that was a bit harsh to jump back into things. If you want to minimize this window, go take a shower, I fully understand. So obviously dubstep fell off so now it’s time to change it up again. How about a producer name Lex Luger producing a track called “Geeked up”? Surely this has to be some surprise Juicy J VIP remix right? nope, these little Hulk Hogan lookin bama’s just jacked the producers name and pretty much stole the entire Juicy J Geeked up track but of course can’t hold a candle to our Lord and Savior Juicy J.  The only thing that impresses me with this track is that it’s one of the few that they didn’t have to buy youtube views for it.

So there you have it, the musical ink stain of VA.  Follow their FACEBOOK FAN PAGE here just in case any readers have some “constructive” criticism to give and if that video doesn’t get you angry enough check out their recent promo video.  It’s a blood boiler.

********UPDATED 10/30/12 7:58*********

Sorry Jolley Bros but the H.O.R. will not approve comments from you two trying to pass yourselves off as fans or if you’re just being even bigger douches by talking in the third person.  If you’re going to try and be slick, at least hide your email and ip address.  -Dear Leader

HOR Exclusive: Glen “G Money” Jones – Binders Full of Women

 After the second presidential debate and viral success of the Mitt Romney A.K.A R-Money picture on the HEAD OF ROTHCHILD fan page, I was sent a track from Marcus Dowling over at Listen Vision studios called “Binders Full of Women” by Glen “G Money” Jones.  I was so happy with thh track and them sending it over that we partnered up to put the exclusive release out on HOR.

Motivated by a speaking gaffe from Tuesday October 16th’s Obama/Romney presidential debate, Listen Vision Recording Studios’ own Glen “G Money” Jones produced and created an entire rap song based around a sample of the oft-discussed to internet meme level error.

However, Washington, DC’s oldest and largest recording studio intends for the track to not just provide some much needed levity in a contentious election cycle, but to also give a sample of the production work being done by our three engineers, G Money (twitter.com/gmoneybeatz), head engineer Awthentik (twitter.com/awthentik) and Sergio Cortez (twitter.com/sergio_cortez).
