Art School dropout skateboard superstar

When exactly did skateboarding become pricey art fare? We’re cool with it, don’t get us wrong but how did it happen? Wood, sandpaper, rubber wheels and metal trucks are the basic elements of a child’s definition of cool, it made older people mad, got you hurt often and looked pretty cool in front of the babes. Kind of the basic motivations of film making as well? Lately skateboarding has been making a strong showing from directors like Spike Jonze, transforming skateboarding from extreme sport to commercially successful art..

Did we mention motherfucking dogs???

Holy shit, i guess there’s been art films about skateboarding this whole time! Good thing they’ve come a long way because I doubt we could take many more skate witches. Lace up and hit the street kid, it’s all the rage!

Music Video Monday (B.U.F.F style)

So saturday I got to sit through the “where the music’s at” program (playing one more time TONIGHT @ 5:30 so get wise turkey) and saw fantastic things. Shockingly there was a bunch of stuff I’d never seen before and I like to think we stay pretty current with rad music videos. Here are some of the videos that you might not know about yet and holy smokes do they rule. Let’s start off with the local team “Math The Band” who were super fun to play with on thursday night!

Math the Band – “Hang Out/Hang Ten” – Dir. Andy Devlin

Tobacco – “Grape Aerosmith” (feat. Beck) – Dir. Allen Cordell

Amanda Palmer – “Map of Tasmania” – Dir. Michael Pope

Grum – “Can’t Shake This Feeling” – Dir. The General Assembly

La Sera – “Never Come Around” – Dir. Brady Hall

UNDER BYEN – “Unoder” – Dir. Manyar Parwani
I can’t get over how fucking gorgeous the unoder video is, I can’t stop watching it. You all should see these videos tonight on the BIG SCREEN because youtube can’t do any sort of justice to them. Also you’ll want to go to see other videos like the Flying Lotus video for MmmHmm is AWESOME huge (and others.)
