Anticipation for Another New Album

Dinosaur Jr's new album called "Farm" is scheduled to come out at the end of the month. I already have my autographed copy pre-ordered, and I suggest everyone pick it up. In lue of Dinosaur's new offering, I bring you the first single entitled "Over It" and the video to go along with it. Dinosaur's video have always been funny, and this one may be my favorite yet. It's clear in the video that the bands passion for skateboarding still lives on, and J Mascis can really shred!

The C Video

This is a skate video I filmed with my friends. It's from 2006 and took a couple years to film. This is a pretty big chunk of my life on film, and I thought I'd share it with MZ. Featured in the video is Drew Lowey, Matt Martin, Luke Senerchia, Mike Martin, John Martin, Frankie Nash, Drew Wallace, Aaron Lowey and Andy Sermos.

Ed Templeton no.1

I found this in skatebook. The current issue has a retrospect on Ed Templeton, one of the most influential skateboarder/artists around. What first struck me about the photo was the creepy smile Ed had on his face while showing his thrashed up leg. That, along with the story by Ryan Clements, pretty much sums up Ed's twisted sense of humor.

Lance Mountain's Dream

Lance Mountain is a genius. He's been one of my favorite people since i was in middle school. This is his interpretation of a dream, then turning into a nightmare. It represents for me the two sides of skateboarding, the free flowing nature of it being interrupted by the harsh reality of falling down.
