M*A*S*H


In case anyone doesn't know about this yet, some dj fellow by the name of Tom Caruana just put out a free album, mashing the Beatles with Wu-Tang. It is so many levels of awesome. Cop it HERE-


For a far more mediocre but somewhat listenable attempt at beatlemashing, check out The Grey Album. Jay Z's black album and the beatles white album, mashed by Danger Mouse.


If you somehow don't know about this yet, it is time.

This is my all time favorite mashup album. Old news, but I want to make sure everyone is on the same page here. Love this shit- Biggie and Sinatra, Blue Eyes meets Bedstuy. I swear to god this album never gets old. Do yourself a favor and get this shit into your ears asap. I'm gonna go ahead and assume that everyone has already heard all of these but I just wanted to put em all in one place for easy downloadin'. If you look around, there are a few more concept mashup albums, but most are not worth your precious time. If are bored enough, check out Gratefully D.E.A.D.(biggie and grateful dead), Jaydiohead (Radiohead and Jay Z), Viva la Hova (Jay Z and Coldplay. I didn't even waste my time with this shit. Just move on.), Beatallica(beatles and metallica mashup cover band) , The Slack Album (Pavement's Slanted & Enchanted x Jay Z) and of course, The Biggie Hendrix Experience (biggie and hendrix. duh.) I'm sure there are more out there but that is pretty much all i've heard about for full mashup concept albums.

And yeah, I know, your friend is a sweet DJ and does this awesome mashup song with linkin park and the jonas brothers, but my friend is better. Trust me. For some hot mashup fire, ladies and gentlemen, allow me introduce Disc Jockey Extraordinaire, DJ ANUBUS. Check him out next time you are in brooklyn. Lots of freebies on his website too.


WUTANG CLAN AIN' NUTTIN TO FUCK WIT'


Feel free to let me know if I missed any.

Thrashin Thursday Vol. 3

-Videos are starting to come in for the second annual Skate and Create and so far, it looks like its gonna be a doozy. First up is DVS with their submission, titled/themed "Wood". Truly dazzling.

If you have never heard of this series, I strongly recommend that you youtube "skate and create" and work your way through all of the entries from last years contest. It is one of the best things to happen to skateboarding since viva la bam went off the air.

-Crutchskate. If it were up to me, this would be called a cripflip to boardslide. Respect.



-Some next level dorkskating, courtesy of shred dudes Halldor and Eiki's collab blog

An excellent blog that also brought back some memories by digging up this gem


-One of the better installments of an excellent new series of new lakai commercials. Hilarious. Check out "Floating Camera" also.

-Skatebird. Sure why not.


-Thrasher mag was ripped by infamous rippers Urban Outfitters.




The OG thrasher one is on the top. But you already knew that right? A for effort guys. For more UO douchbaggery check out urban counterfeiters

-The year was 1978. 80's hair metal was about to rip out of the womb where it had been incubating in small clusters since the mid 70s. Dokken, Ratt, Whitesnake and probably a few more bands with ümlats and double consonants were born. Maiden had just recorded their first demo. Crüe was rising in popularity faster then the drug, swimming pool and vomit induced body count of their musical predicessors. And in Bloody olde England, people were fuckin' riding skateboards.


-On that note, I present the Skatar-


-Mullen still skates? Who knew. No offense but does anyone care?


And last but not least, check out the "Ollie Buster". Jump to around 1:34 to see how much this thing rules. And by rules, I mean sucks more shit then a metaphore for sucking shit that I can't even come up with.

Scumdogs taking over fox news. More then usual.

Oderus Urungus lends some much needed credibility to the whole operation


A step in the right direction. If they can't get the facts right about anything anyway, they might as well go for raw entertainment value.

Hippie Jump Hallelujah, etc...

New Richie Jackson footy from ipath. If you watch one skate thing today, make it be this. Trust me. The closer trick is potentially in the top 5 craziest stunts ever stunted on a skateboard.
For more next level super creative skating, check out the work of: Colin Fiske, Louie Barletta, Chris Haslem, Dave Vey, William Spencer, and Todd Falcon for starters.

RANDOM POST FILLER BONUS STUFF-

-Here we have a police report detailing Shawn White's drunken shenanigans and subsequent charge of second degree criminal tampering at some mountain in CO.

-HERE is a sneak peek of the majority of Burton's 2010 line. Items of note: New "V Rocker" camber system introduced, a private stock R. Crumb artist collab and the uninc series gets dropped for new "Easy Livin" series, designed to integrate seamlessly with the rampant gypster uprising. No word on whether dreamcatcher or feather is included. In other related news, dropped and bitter Uninc riders (DCP, JP Solberg, Romain de Marchi) start "YES" snowboards, get SIA booth with stripper.

And here we have Brad Pitt making fun of Lakai/Girl pro Mike Carroll. Seriously.
Almost as good as when Owen Wilson "showed up" Mike Carroll in Yeah Right.


And here is a shitty viral ad for the shitty new GI joe movie. With skateboarding.

Castaway, shred style

Former obscure swiss big mountain pro Xavier Rosset

spent 300 days completely alone on an equally obscure, remote, uninhabited tropical island. By choice. His only luggage was the clothes he was wearing, a swiss army knife, machete and a video camera (solar powered?). Says Xavier of his only companion on the island, a wee piglit he captured:

"I couldn't eat it because there wasn't enough meat so I took it with me and she stayed with me for three months...She was exactly like a dog. She was a very good friend for me but I didn't talk to her like (Tom Hanks) talked to the volleyball in the movie Castaway." (insert deliverance reference here)

Respect. You sir, are a badass. Documentary coming soon.
