Media Watch – Page 59 – Skate and Annoy

Pick your nose, friends, etc…

Santa Cruz / NHS branded guitar picks sold as sk8 picks by Dunlop Picks, so you know htey are decent quality. I love the green .88mm picks for bass. And yes, I am a very mediocre bass player. Worse actually, since I haven’t picked up a bass in years.

Da Year Of Da Moke

Frank De Lim Presents – Da Year Of Da Moke could have been yours for $11, delivered in the US. Totally worth it, regardless of what I sounds like. I was watching the auction with the intention of buying it, but the seller was such an annoying twit that I refused to on principle. “Hey, […]

A push to remember

Spongebob Extreme Team

It’s a Spongebob Squarepants coloring book. That is all. – Thanks to John Aguilar for the photo.

The Not-its! – Let’s skateboard

The kids band called the Not-Its! has a song called “Let’s Skateboard” on their album Kidquake. It’s hard to argue with the simplicity of that message. Normally I’d reference a parenting issue with a Naked Raygun quote, but in this case, the message is right on so I have to demur to some hippy shit. […]
