  + Fully Flared
  I haven’t seriously skateboarded since I was in high school and I was never that interested in watching tons of skate videos during that period of my life.  Maybe I would’ve been more motivated to watch if they had been packed with explosions?

  Suis la Lune Video Update

  03.30.09 | Permalink | Comment?

  The videos can be viewed HERE.

  After a brief 2 week hiatus the suggestions articles are returning.
  Today’s list comes from an artist that I’ve mentioned a few times on the blog named John Malloy.  John’s artwork straddles the boundaries between comic book surrealism and the traditional ‘true to form’ drawing style.   Many of his illustrations present a distorted take on [...]

  Pansori sounds like a musical mixture of Funeral Diner, early Thursday, and City of Caterpillar.  I was standing [...]

  Osceola

  03.26.09 | Permalink | 1 Comment

  It’s a rare occurance when you see a vocalist screaming and smiling at the same time.  Though everytime I’ve seen Osceola play live their lead singer has a huge grin on his face.  Their songs are extremely ‘groove heavy’ which is a hard adjective to explain through text on the internet so go ahead and watch [...]
