Lax Hacks: Top String Insurance

If you’re a dedicated lacrosse player, odds are you’re putting in a decent amount of time on the wall. You’ll probably be scooping the occasional groundball off the pavement or hard packed dirt. These rough surfaces will eventually take a toll on your scoop and topstring. In order to keep your topstring from completely fraying and giving out on you, we have a great little Lax Hack from Justin at Stylin Strings.

Music Monday: Tacos on Broadway

This week’s Music Monday brings us yet another gem from the Pacific Northwest. Seattle lyricists Tiglo and Cole better known as Brothers From Another or BFA for short are a young duo hailing from Seattle. The Seattle Hip-Hop scene is quite impressive and BFA brings an “easy going flavor of the mid 90’s while maintaining a new school attitude in their lyrics.” The two have managed to put out 6 EP’s to date and only have a bright future ahead of them.

Music Monday: Soul Brother #2

This week’s Music Monday focuses on an artist that is living in the shadows. Kendrick Lamar has virtually become a household name after the success of his highly acclaimed album good kid, m.A.A.d. city, and his now infamous “Control” verse. Kendrick, formerly known as K. Dot, is a member of Black Hippy, a group comprised of ScHoolboy Q, Jay Rock, and Ab-Soul, all of which are on the indie label Top Dawg Entertainment. While many people are tuned into Kendrick, the talented Ab-Soul aka “The Black Lip Pastor” is easily overlooked.

Music Monday: LXM Takeover

Over the weekend while I was in Orem, Utah with Mark Donahue taking in the sights and sounds of LXM 801 I decided to take advantage of the opportunity and ask a few pros what they’ve been listening to. Check out Mark’s video below to find out; some of their responses might surprise you! Interested […]

Lax Hacks: Saving Your Butt

This simple Lax Hack will keep your shaft from “cookie cuttering” your rubber end cap. Personally I don’t use rubber butt ends anymore but I used to use this trick to keep my shafts from ripping apart the rubber and exposing the metal. Not only is an uncovered butt end dangerous but it’s also illegal and you’ll be putting your team at risk for an unnecessary penalty.

Music Monday: Wake Up!

Good morning lacrosse enthusiasts! I know it’s Monday but I’m here to get your day started off right. Here’s a few tracks to help wake you up. Just press play and enjoy!

Music Monday: Out of This World

Kid Cudi

This week’s Music Monday is a trip. Last Friday I visited the moon via the “Cud Life Tour” featuring Logic, Big Sean, and Kid Cudi. While Kid Cudi isn’t a new name in music, he is relevant as ever. The Man on the Moon put on a show and certainly lived up to his name. It was the complete experience.

Lax Hacks: Braving the Cold

Lacrosse may traditionally be a spring sport but that doesn’t mean it’s always played in beautiful weather.  As we head into fall, many dedicated players are soon to be working against the elements. Whether it’s rain, snow, high winds, or the bitter cold, here are a few tips to help you get the most out […]

Music Monday: This and That

Welcome back LAS to another Music Monday!  I know it’s not everyone’s favorite day of the week but I’m hoping these songs can make your day just a little bit better.

Music Monday: The Myke B Show

This week’s Music Monday spotlights a really slept on artist I’ve been meaning to share for a while now, Myke Bogan. Last week Myke opened for Zion I and Snoop Dogg in Boise and to be honest, I was most excited to see Myke B. What’s really appealing about the Portland rapper is that he’s a laid back but motivated individual with a genuine love for Hip-Hop. I’ve chosen a song from each of his three mixtapes so take a listen.

Music Monday: RIP Summer

Today marks the end of my summer as I start fall classes once again at Boise State. This week I thought I’d share some tracks from or featuring artists that have passed away. So rest in peace summer and these following artists. Their music will live on.
