3s that are better than bp3, by clyde singleton
I don’t know what it is about the Jigger Man that people go crazy about. The dude can’t grow a mustache. He copies anything that’s cool. And, furthermore, he gets a pass for biting by saying he’s “paying homage.” Really, breh? “Homage”? Jesus. Anyways. Jigger Man just released his third post-”retirement” album and not only does he come across as insecure as hell (check the track-listing and lyrics”, the Jigger Man has also taken it upon himself to let us know that he’s been brushing up on science with prolific lyrics like, “I’m half-man, half-mammal,” on his newest outing. With that being said, here’s more 3s that are better than BP3. Enjoy. —Clyde Singleton (more…)

This isn't exactly what you would call the timeliest of reviews. In fact, I think Derek requested that I do this over a year ago now, when the Vice-produced documentary Heavy Metal in Baghdad was just about to hit theaters and pre-orders were being taken for the DVD

This is a unique movie sort of meant for families that was filmed in a town I grew up in. It is one of those movies shot in Chicago essentially.

Timing has never been my thing. I can't tell a joke to save my life, I am at least 30 minutes late anywhere I go

There’s at least a couple people who bemoan the death of Big Brother. Apparently skateboarding needs “something like that.” It’s true, skateboarding can appear to be a bit too serious

art review – marc canter, by lauren graham
I am a massive Guns N’ Roses fan. Seriously, its almost becoming a problem. I listen to Appetite For Destruction almost every day. It never gets old. I even went as Slash for Halloween, but I got super wasted and lost my top hat. Slash would have been so bummed on me. (Sorry, Slash.) So, when I read Slash’s book, I came across Marc Canter’s book Reckless Road. It’s the best documentation of a band’s early days I have ever seen. Marc grew up with Slash and documented all of his bands until Guns N’ Roses and shot of all their Club Shows in Hollywood and the Sunset Strip in the ’80s. It’s basically the closest you’ll ever get to seeing one of those shows if you weren’t there. There’s even an online part of the book, which you can access once you purchase it, where you can hear audio from the shows and some interviews, too. Not to mention prints of some of the best pictures. (more…)
I’ve been around skateboarding a long time now. Not as long as some, to be sure, but still long enough to have seen a few generations of skaters come and go.

They say you can’t judge a book by its cover, but this remains to be the one guiding principle I use when selecting a new book to read.
