Tame Impala "Innerspeaker" out now on modular records

Have you ever had deja vu? Usually it's some visual image that leaps out of another dimension and reminds us that reality is fucking weird and that you've strangely felt this all before. But, have you ever had the feeling of deja vu with a sound. It seems natural because sound is one of the most visceral and memorable senses. Recently i had this very sense of dejaudible vu. A few years ago i went to the tidepools in Laguna and took way to much acid. Myself and two friends brought guitars and jimbe drums and hiked like hippie shirpas as far down the rocky cliffs as we could, across jagged rocks, over hazardous surf, and right under the noses of the rich s.o.b.s who occupy the coastline like normandy nazis. Soon we stumbled upon a secluded cave. We tripped out all day in beautiful isolation playing music and swimming in clear waters like it was "The Beach" (minus the gun weilding drug runners). As goes on any good trip, time melted into the sand and the percussive sound of my nerves firing from the speed that the lsd was probably cut with punctuated the sound of the ocean swirling through the cave. You know how when you listen to a conch shell and it sounds like the ocean... well that's what the cave sounded like amplified by ten billion. Sensory overload kicked in and i remember hearing the sound of lazer beams shooting all around me, followed shortly by the sound of me running into the ocean screaming nonsense about aliens, other dimensions, and that i really wanted a cigarette. Listening Tame Impala's song "alter ego" from their new album immediately took me back to that lazer filled moment in the cave (it comes 30 sec in). Some how these guys figured out how to take one of the best days of my life and filter it througha guitar phaser pedal which is awesome and makes me only hope they can figure out how to inculcate a wah pedal with the summer i spent drunk fucking around in europe.
san-ho!
A couple of gems from a few weeks back. thanks kyle. we went to sano and got an early taste of summer. photo #1 shows me, p-frog, and cor-man putting the coors light shot gun to our lips. this helped me make the decision to surf in my boxers. everytime i wiped out them shits ended up round my ankles. photo #2 displays our painstakingly thorough sunscreen application process. note the ease in which danimal slathers his lotion. my job was stability. reminds me of the old days on the nssa jr. scene. contests are soooo boring and we had to entertain ourselves. i wonder what those days would have been like with beer. janice aragon would be pissed.

Ya Doyer!
S&D buddy Dodger Kremel doing his thing in Maui. Kremel can blend the smooth with progressive very well which is very rare. Any haters out there can suck it because I'm positive you can't noseride as long or as smooth as Kremel.
Ya He's got the shorty thing down too.
Kremel's awesome because he doesn't care. I know it's SUPER cool to act like you don't care these days (Dane's gig and his followers), but Dodger is genuine. Doesn't care about his jeans, or driving a van, or listening to what ever is hip, or whatever. He's just himself. Secure, not cocky, and nice. God damn that's refreshing.

Kick Out the Jamz
Made my monthly amoeba run last night and had some good finds...
STZ Human Performance 7" was a mail order that came yesterday as well I just threw it in because they are absolutely killer, listen to them! Classic Billy Bragg, Elvis Costello & the Attractions live @ Hollywood High in 1978 (awesooooome version of "Accidents Will Happen"), Moz b-sides from Bona Drag, Kill Uncle, and Your Arsenal, as well as some classic late 1960's skinhead reggae from Trojan Records. Bye-bye paycheck...

HUSAK !
John Husak is a flat out humble ripper from the LBC. One of the original Bruce Jones team riders, and a dude Tj, Danimal, myself, and a bunch of others have always looked up to. Really nice guy, reallllllly good surfer.
Photo = Jim Boswell
Mr. Husak serves up the finest cold ones at Joe Josts (Oldest/Raddest bar in LB) and I hear that he also kills it on the drums.
Photo = Jim Boswell
Do yourself a favor and stop by Joe Josts to grab a Schooner of Busch, a special (hot dog,swiss,pickle sandwich) and some pickled eggs with hot mustard like the Svrf and Destroy dudes do. You won't be displeased, but your lady friend might be with your farts that night. Dutch oven anyone?

John KKK
this shot of peacefrog pretty much sums up last saturday. danimal, snoogins, peacefrog and myself spent the day at sano. there was surfing, coors light, cool doods and a good time had by all. said goodbye to brock who is on his way to germany. surfed in my boxers (it was a little breezy). got super sun burnt and hit up pedro's on the way out. here you can see the joy on john's face as he presents his mixture of coke and piss. thanks john.
Henry and Glenn
I found this in my travels today through the web.
Starring super-notorious musclebound punk/metaldudes Glenn Danzig and Henry Rollins (with a little help from super-notorious soft-rockdudes Hall and Oates) Henry & Glenn Forever is a love story to end all love stories! The premise of this Cantankerous Titles-released comic is explained at the front of the zine: "Henry and Glenn are very good 'friends.' They are also 'room mates.' Daryl and John live next door. They are satanists." What follows is ultra-metal violence and cryfest diary entries, cringing self-doubt and mega-hilarious emo-meltdowns. Who knew Danzig was such a vulnerable, self-conscious sweety-pie? Who knew Rollins was such a caring spouse? Who knew Hall and Oates were so infernally evil-yet so considerate?
Its only $4 bucks and is 64 pages. Its sure to deliver some laughs.
It can be ordered at http://microcosmpublishing.com/catalog/zines/3174/

look at me!
Had a really fun time surfing SanO far too buzzed this past saturday. Saw some downright hilarious shit go down in the water between this lady and others.
(photo ripped off from vancreeps blog)
I'm not really gona go off on a gossip trip, but let's just say that this woman does an excellent job of letting her presence be VERY well known.
Windshields were waxed, middle fingers were thrown and Svrf and Destroy loved sitting back and observing all the shit go down.

some guy's wife shot this footage the other morning. peacefrog was watching me surf while he prepared his best man speech. this was shot the morning of danimal's wedding. after this i proceeded to get very lost in murrieta searching for the wilson creek winery. i arrived late enough to miss the ceremony but just in time for cocktails. great time. great people. my first appearance in this video is at 3:04. i throw some baby buckets on a couple dudes with my new Cameron special.

Twist and Shout
I was shown this video last night and cannot stop watching it. John Entwistle was one bad mf, as shown here. I really don't listen to as much "classic rock" these days as I used to but this has inspired me to throw some records on today...
