by Rob Cantrell, Fri Nov 20, 2009

Planning, packing, writing, charging, and recording: Test 1. Test 2. My soul feels like electric jello. This Saturday, I will be taking voyage to the Netherlands for my very first HIGH TIMES Cannabis Cup. This will be my first time in Amsterdam ever, oh my dear virgin eyes will behold the glory. Much respect & thanks to all of the HT crew for inviting me to come along. The event lines up perfectly with the release of my new STAND-UP and MUSIC album KEEP ON THE GRASS. Well wishers and astronomers should look for me in the night sky this Saturday, I will be flying in a 1988 US Space Shuttle with NECKFACE and Turk 186 graffiti tags. My plan is to make the rounds at “The 22nd Cannabis Cup” (in a circle), do a show, intro bands, blog, interview, shoot video, and judge the finest HASH and WEED on the planet.

New Comedy & Music album KEEP ON THE GRASS: Official NY Release Party.

by Rob Cantrell, Tue Aug 18, 2009

Calling all freaks and grass geeks! I am very happy to announce that my first Stand-up Comedy/Music CD KEEP ON THE GRASS has just been released by StellahRecords.com. The album consists of a sold out show in San Francisco Ca., plus 4 original songs recorded in a studio in Brooklyn NY. KEEP ON THE GRASS is a full length LIVE stand-up comedy album, plus a 4 song music EP. Put the kids to bed, roll a spliff and giggle your face off to this Redd Foxx meets "Dark Side of The Moon" comedy record.The music on this  project was first generated from a 10 year old Yamaha beat-machine that I bought on ebay for 75 bucks. I started rapping over the beat-machine for pure fun. After getting some songs together, I started performing them at shows. I asked my friend Barlow, a working Brooklyn DJ / Musician to help produce the music. We recorded the beat-machine at the "Indoor Village"- …READ MORE

Happy 4th: F Snakes

by Rob Cantrell, Sat Jul 4, 2009

When I was a young, I really loved the 4th of July, still do, but why? (beside loving my country, yes sir.) One of the reasons the 4th rocked when I was young was because of “Backyard Fireworks”. “Black Cats”, “Cherry Bombs” and “Bottle Rockets” ruled. I am talking about the shit that your Uncle Frank would light with the hot cherry of his Winston out back. “Watch out everybody!, Uncle Frank is drunk on Coors and is shooting Roman candles into a pile of leaves.” All the “Ohhh, Ahhhhh” firework shows that takes place over monuments and lake resorts are lame. I like the old-school mini-explosives that you buy on the side of a forgotten highway outside Buffalo. "Danger" wrapped in colorful paper …READ MORE

This Potato Salad Is Banging

by Rob Cantrell, Wed Jul 1, 2009

This Monday I was really spent from travel, shows, and hanging with family over Memorial Day weekend. Good times and Mom’s potato salad was banging. Back in Brooklyn, while checking my twitter and eating nachos with my wife, I saw that @Questlove posted the Beastie Boys were going to be on the Jimmy Fallon Show that night. I Tivo’d it and check it out in the morning, NICE. The reason I bring this up is because I got to be good friends with the director of two epic early Beastie videos “Fight For Your Right” and “No Sleep Till BK”, Dr. Adam Dubin. Adam is an outstanding film maker that has done videos for Beasties, Mettalica and Lewis Black. Adam loves Stand-Up and is in a comedy heavy metal band called “The Stoned”. He had me act in his short film called “The Deported”. “The Stoned” actually got deported from ENGLAND before they even got to play their first gig there, true story. So they made a short film …READ MORE

Taking In The Sights & Strange Bikes

by Rob Cantrell, Wed Jun 17, 2009

I’ll be performing comedy in Boston.

Great Scott 6/19, Friday 7 PM



I find it strange that girl and guys bikes are different. If I had to honestly choose, I’d ride the one without the nut crunching bar. Walking is more my speed, until it turns into a run, after that.. fuck it. Power walking is like walking, but you swing your arms as if you were running and your lower half takes in the sights. My penis does love classic architecture. You can enjoy the sights, but you can’t take back time. Time just goes through you, power walking into the horizon. You can make all the money in the world but you can’t make up a minute of time. Time is a liquid death clock. Even if you stand still, you will get there. That is why I wanted to take some time and thank all my friends for breaking out the weed …READ MORE

Come Together & Watch A Classic DVD

by Rob Cantrell, Fri May 29, 2009

One of the simplest pleasures in life is smoking pot and watching a movie at home. Movies are the perfect backdrop to shut my brian off and stuff gross amounts of buttered popcorn in my face. Here is a fun DVD for such a session, ‘The (new)Collectors Edition DVD’ of ‘CONAN THE BARBARIAN - staring Arnold Schwarzenegger, pack your battle axe bong and let me tell you of the days of high adventure. This movie was written by a young Oliver Stone (Scarface & JFK) and the directed by John Milus (Apocalypse Now & Dirty Hairy). It opens with a quote from Nieche ,“That which does not kill us makes us stronger”, Nieche did not take into account a very slow death by butter drenched popcorn and numerous bong hits. The first ten minutes of this movie is fucking …READ MORE

NY NORML FUNDRAISER THIS THURSDAY May 7th 8 PM @ Don Hills 511 Greenwich Street

by Rob Cantrell, Thu May 7, 2009

This Thursday May 7th, I am performing at the New York NORML fundraiser at Don Hills in New York, New York, 511 Greenwich Street (corner of Spring St). 8 PM,  Bands, DJ’s, Pizza and Me. Time to quit bullshitting New York.  NY tourism would boom if the state legalized;  Broadway, Restaurants, Music Venues, Film Houses and Comedy Clubs would be packed with mellow stoners and not drunk assholes. “Lets hit the hash bar and go see Spam-a-lot.”  The big apple should be packed with herb, it needs to turn back to the adult play-land it once was in the 70’s, but without the coke, guns, street prostitution, and disco suits ( I dig a fly disco suit now and again, especially when I am at my cousin Freddy's annual coke hooker gun party. / joke, don’t …READ MORE

Jagger & Lennon sparking ART in the park.

by Rob Cantrell, Fri May 1, 2009

What up Sun?!....Vitamin D is what I need.  I live in Brooklyn and this winter was sooo brutal that it was laughable, “Oh... ‘Freezing Death Cold’ with a side of “Satan’s Frozen Ballz of Hail”, again, Ha, Ha, bring it motherfucker.  It is all in my head.  I can choose to dwell in the negative or just laugh it off and plow forward like a flesh robot (i am Voltron) knowing that one day I will have my day in the SUN.  The sun is very important to mood and weed. If I had the ideal, I would only smoke the real... GRASS...grown in the dirtiest of dirt under an American sun.  I don’t need super hydro paranoid designer chronic grown in a closet with electric lasers and ells, (no offense …READ MORE

A Bag Of All That: plus Comedy Video.

by Rob Cantrell, Thu Apr 16, 2009

Chomp, Chomp, Crunch,  "All That," is great, but without a bag of chips, "What is it?".  Chips have nothing to do with potataos, it is all flavored cheese gunk, ridges, and ruffels.  Do these chips have “Ruffles”?, “No.”, “Fuck you, take 'em back, my chips need to be sloppy with wrinkles.”  Chips have gotten 'Regis' (Out Of Control); Salt and Vinegar …READ MORE

Stand Up From The Tombs: My NY Arrest Story

by Rob Cantrell, Fri Apr 10, 2009

Here is a story I tell on stage about being arrested in NY with a professional violinist for smoking roach outside a show.  I spent the weekend in a hell hole called central booking.  I am not proud of it, but do believe it makes a statement on how outdated the laws are... and it is also solid material.  Filmed in San Francisco, this clip highlights the juxtaposition of herb attitudes on the west and east coast.  This story is being recorded for an upcoming comedy album that will be released this summer. Check it out.
