Buzz Kill
So today while I was enjoying myself at the cliffs some crack head broke into my car and stole my ipod. credit card, 6 dollars from my wallet, and $1 from a friends wallet. Oddly enough the juggalos (this broad literally had an ICP shirt on with died green hair and was missing some teeth most likely due a diet saturated in Faygo) in the parking lot I was kinda sketched out on and eyeing while hiding my key ( I know, big mistake at the cliffs) where the ones who waved me in from the water and informed me of the ordeal. They even showed me a picture they snagged of the bastard leaving my car. I guess it could have been worse, I had the 7"0 mini pelican (most excellent surf craft ever created) in the car and would have been devastated if that was missing. I can do with a stolen ipod and 80 gigs of music gone. In the meantime I drowned my sorrows in a 12 pack of hieneken and burned some cds till I have enough for a new pod, these are two get me through till I can afford one (shouldn't be too long as I plan on winning big money this weekend at danimals bachelor party in vegas).
Lock your shit up tight people!

Amoeba
I had to go to the La Brea tar pits for school today and swung by Amoeba on the way home for a trade in. I was able to snag October File, Creedence Chronicle, "if'n", and "Ragin', Full-On".
I was pleasantly surprised to see the note from John Fogerty to Watt on the bottom of "if'n" (sent to Watt after D. Boon passed).

It's all so silly...
There isn't much to say. Donovan surfs like gangbusters. He is funny as shit. He even sounds like
he is fucking around during the voiceover for this ad. Really talented surfers seem to have a really
hard time with their creative endeavors outside of surfing. I love to surf. I love music. But I don't
want to wear a shirt with fins and guitars on it. His music is very mediocre acoustic pop. Yes, it is
catchy. But thats about it.
banana joe defends jesse james
Benny Biggler's good pal Joe was recently caught on access Hollywood defending sunset local Jesse James after his scandal broke. There was no embed but check out the link if you wanna laugh your ass off
http://www.accesshollywood.com/sandra-bullock-lays-low-while-jesse-james-uses-banana-defense-march-22-2010_video_1211123
Joe told Benny he had just finished "smoking himself stupid" and walked to the gas station to grab a nanner. As he was cruising back he noticed the dozens of paps harassing James. They (James/bullock) happen to live next door to our friends and everyones pretty sick of the paparazzi bull shit. That's when Joe stepped in with the ultimate pap block. A banana.
This is surf related because Joe probably rips harder than you on one of his many lost shred sticks. And Benny throws the most bitchin 70's fun surf contest every summer complete with kegs in the sand. Check these shots of benny (top) and tim stamps (bottom) ripping on some singles. . .

It Just Got Worse :(
A healthy mixture of Douche-fagery and DEVO lifting. There is even a big D on the kick drum. The Drums should start living up to their name and jam on bongos down at HB pier. Oh yeah, the whole "if you don't like, don't listen to it" philosophy is pissing me off. Like I have said before, I believe in right and wrong. This is wrong. Let it be known.
Juuuuuuust threw up in my mouth a little bit
Look at this motherfucking bullshit.
The photos alone make angry. I haven't begun to even explain this dog shit to you.
During some interweb browsing I came across the ACL site. Pretty cool, uber hip, overpriced, stylin' type shit going on. The guy has a good eye for steeze and such, but that is besides the point.
Here goes.
First of all, I notice the article because it makes note of the NYC based "surf" shop, Saturdays, and Bunker Spreckles' name is in bold.
Attention has been caught.
Why would some apparel style blog be interested in anything surf?
Hmmm. Maybe they are reviewing the Bunker book from Taschen, vintage Art Brewer photos, who knows.
No. Absolutely not.
Taken from the post:
"The new California brand Riviera Club came together as three friends — Joe Sadler, Derek Buse and Greg Ullery — combined their individual strengths to create something new. The launch collection (which is seen in the images below) is inspired by the real life adventures of surfer and wayward rich-kid Bunker Spreckels and the company’s home base of Santa Barbara, California."
WOW.
Some dork found a Bunker book on a coffee table and decided to bastardize his image into some Abercrombie-esque horse shit. If you read the comments, the first person said:
"Love the laid back, Cali vibe."
Bllarraaaaaaaaaaaaghggggggggghhhhhhh.
Yeah. Just puked on my keyboard. No big deal.
Cali is a word that belongs with hella, wicked, etc.
This is just the beginning...
It takes about 25 comments before any one with some real sense makes a comment:
"Bunker Spreckels wouldn’t caught dead in clothes like these. I don’t know how these guys can say their collection is “inspired” by Bunker’s life???? He dressed more like pimp from Oakland. Ridiculous, looks like just another jcrew style."
Thank you Karl Kronen, I owe you a beer for that.
A few more comments down and Art Brewer (whether or not it is really him, who knows) lays it down.
"After years of knowing traveling and photographing Bunker. I must say he would of never worn any of the clothing your showing here! nice try but no cigar. You missed the mark by 3 miles this is more BS…….art"
Be sure to check out the photo of the guy fondling the oranges, it is the worst one, I couldn't even bring myself to put it on the blog.
I think Peacefrog said it best...."Die Yuppie Scum."
Find your own own lifestyle to bastardize.

Retired At 21
In My Head was in heavy rotation all day today, probably will be tomorrow as well. The more I immerse myself into their last two albums the more I love them.
here's an amusing comment from the youtube page:
I called my college radio station -- 91.7 FM, University of Connecticut -- and requested this song on my 21st birthday, March 5, 1990. They played it for me, too, but they played it at 45 speed and not 33! Ahhh, the good old days...Real records, real music!!!!!

Skate post
I have always been fond of many things that HBO does, they are really taking the cable following above and beyond and giving network television a run for it's money.
They have been stepping out of their usual format of movies and shows and are doing some really amazing projects lately!
This video is a twenty minute documentary featuring the New York skate scene.
In classic HBO form the doc. takes a very innovative approach to ways of film making!!!

street slashin
This is a video of one of our surfin buddies from Seal. Fabian is all about shreddin the pier and or river on his 7' somethin" Revolver. It wasn't until recently on St. Pattys day when Andrew saw him do a drunken 30 yard handstand on his skateboard down the street and almost get hit by a car that we figured he knew his way around the skateboard as well. From my understanding this is from the video Skateboard Gang II circa 89'-90'. I've always thought him to be a phantom, if for some reason you check it at 9 or 10 at night and it looks really fun, chances are he's out there somewhere.
Does It Get Any Worse?
Please say it doesn't. I don't know how much more I can take. This is some of the worst shit ever.
Rip off, dog shit, surf exploiting, assholes. The Drums can eat shit and die. I'm starting to
understand what that dude from The Network was talking about.
snow post
My friends over at Transworld Snow put some Rail shots together from this falls new snow flick "In Color" gets my very syked on how snowboarding is going back to its roots of having fun with friends and being creative. for example look at Keagan's first trick he does, it's fucking mental!
Snowboarding has turned into double flip mctwisties and spinning to win! what happened to style and doing something different! I stopped doing contests for a reason, every run I would watch was the same. The winner is the idiot that takes a risk and chucks there meat harder!
Dont get me wrong it is pretty cool to watch the mainstream shit like we all did when Shaun White won the olympics this year but I for one have seen enough and have been over it for quite sometime...
If you wanna check some innovative and original snow shit hit up some of these blogs!

But in the meantime rap out to this eye candy and go buy a snowboard and surf the fucking mountains!!!

SHELTON
Jonathan Shelton is a ripper from the LBC. Did surf team in high school with him. One of the funniest personalities I know. Similar to spicoli, but better. He recently beat my ass in the Seal Beach contest and is a constant threat in any heat. I was on facebook this morning and got an update of how he was doing: Jonathan joined the group MONSTERBOOTY ( )*( ). Jon is the man.
so you think you can bodysvrf, eh?
Try doing it with a big peice of yellow plastic leading the way. Enter the Grip Board. Made this little video for the inventor. He gave me a couple to try and get some footage for the video. One of the silliest items I have used. It's too heavy and the fins are pointless. The thing twisted my wrist a couple times while trying to hold on in the soup. Got bonked in the head too. Go get yourself a tray from any fast food restaurant. They work great. Every time I watch this it makes me laugh. Still got em if anyone wants to give it a whirl.

I Never Travel Far, Without a Little Big Staaaaaarrr
Alex Chilton of the band Big Star died yesterday. I've been jamming them quite a bit over the past few weeks, I had no idea who they were or he was until I looked up the meaning behind one of my favorite Replacements songs. If your not familiar snag #1 Record, it's good.
