CTV - In For The Kill Tour day 6 & 7 from ConferenceTV on Vimeo.



Billy O'Neil got hit by a car last year while skating in Spain. He hasn't been back on skates long but dear lord he is killing it. Here is some new footage of Billy back in Spain to prove that Barcelona will not defeat him twice. Jeff Dalnas came along for the ride and murdered some deadly drop rails. They are currently at the Chaz Invite in Liverpool and making their presence known.

Billy has picked up the unfortunate habit of referring to all women as "sluts". I think he may have picked this up from one of his English counterparts. We went out last night and Billy chatted up pretty much anything in a skirt and excitedly talked about how much easier it is to pull women in the UK compared to back home in New York. Billy is the kind of character you really need to meet to fully understand the sheer extend of his charisma and MAMMOTH personality.

I think the after party is going to be messy tonight...

Chaz Sands Invitational 2009


So, I am currently in Liverpool for the Chaz Sands Invitational at Rampworx Skatepark. I have been on the web update duties so visit Be-mag to read about the chaos that has taken place so far and the photographic evidence to prove it. So far I have witnessed pro skaters throwing bin bags at passing taxis, skate company owners street wrestling and female pro skaters groping random pretty girls outside night clubs. Good times!

Visit www.be-mag.com for all the action.

I will post all of the photos once I arrive back on home turf.

Until then, don't do anything I wouldn't do...

Wait. Scratch that. There is nothing I won't do.

This is old but...



... I don't care. Thunderheist recently played at The Glasgow School of Art and they are the shit. MC Isis spits some explicit content over downright dirty electro and house cuts. This is music for people with smutty minds.

The promo is HERE.

Here is the video for their wonderfully sleazy single JERK IT.



This video is pretty damn good too...

Hell yeah!

I have been waiting for this for months! The official video for the incredible Mayer Hawthorne single Just Ain't Gonna Work Out. I am still is amazement at two things. One: He plays every damn instrument. Two: He is NOT a middle age overweight black man! When the album drops this summer people are going to lose their minds.

Enjoy.

Edited tae fuck...


Okay, so I recently interviewed Guru of hip hop legends Gangstarr. The music editor at The Skinny said he had made a few alterations to the final draft which I was fine with, until I read the bloody thing. He had changed a few aspects that I felt was slightly pointless considering the amendments resulted in the article being rife with grammar and spelling errors. Fortunately, he chose to take that mess offline but the revised edition is not much better.

My title was STILL GOING STRONG but he thought it sounded much better to write GURU: STILL GOT THE SKILLS.

Really? Is there any difference?

Not impressed.

Ballers Social Club




I am a big fan of Ballers Social Club for two reasons: One- they always have amazing acts playing (Hudson Mohawke anyone?). Two- the night is partly organised by my friend Joe who was once a vital part of the Aberdeen skate scene. In May they are going to have a special Flask Records showcase with the glorious Loops Haunt. It's on a Thursday but I don't care because I am dragging my ass down to The Ivy to dance away to some good home grown messed up techno. Come along and get involved.
