Neil turned me on to them in '85. Their music speaks to me. I don't know... just listen to it. It's fuck'n beautiful.

I read it when I was in a very fragile state. It's a memoir and the guy's story just gave me hope.

***) Lucas / David Seltzer
It's an insightful, sensitive film about real kids dealing with real problems. Ha! Plus, I believe it's Winona Ryder's first film.

And my personal favorite, Jeff clobbering a troll in the comments of this very blog, January 2010.

Rest easy, Jeff... And thank you.

chrome ball incident #790: sadder than a funeral

So rad being able to watch so many of my childhood heroes still out there tearing it up in a reasonable facsimile of the Combi Bowl.

...even if I did lose 10 bucks on Chris Miller.

And as far as Grosso goes, it totally rules to see him out there ripping. Repping Anti-Hero and writing Loveletters, I can't back this dude enough.

Just waiting for the day he boardslides around the entire goddamn bowl.

A little FYI, there will be no Thursday or Friday posts this week due to an impromptu trip to NYC. Thanks.

Also, be sure to check this out:

 Two of CBI's favorites, Mark Whiteley interviews Don Pendleton for the new issue. Awesome.

chrome ball incident #579: serious inquiries only

admittedly a little weird seeing grosso and lucero part ways...

regardless, seeing mothra on anti-hero these days has me sporting the biggest cheshire cat grin.

stoked on this.
