I could have mentioned your name, I could have dragged you in.

So I decided to like skateboarding again. Zorlac sent me a new bigger board (8.25" with French graphic) and I set it up and went to Filton bowl for a solo shred.

It's a Deer Man board so I left the crosses un-gripped on top.

French's Autopsy logo on the tail is fucking amazing. We should make a shirt.


Later I put some super wide Indy's on it too so we'll see how they work out.

The infidels who came up with that headline will be the first into the mass grave when the poser holocaust comes.

"...as he slid his hand down to her silken femininity..."

"Who's a pretty cock then?"



Went to a fancy dress party as David Brent when he did his motivational speech job.


In a pub in Bristol - the guy in the beanie on the left was the manager and was trying to get us to leave like 10 mins after we just bought our last orders. His tactic was to say "drink up and fuck off!" - it didn't work. I'm surprised one of us didn't chin him. I stood toe to toe with him and told him was a mug and a cunt to his face. It made me feel all manly. I may be barred now.

I went to see Sonic Boom/Spectrum at The Croft the other night. It was soooo good and he played loads of old Spacemen 3.

"I just think it's interesting to see how people act on their beliefs. Your beliefs - they're just that - they're nothing, they're just how you were taught and raised - that doesn't make 'em real....everything you learned is in fact just learned and not necessarily true."

- Bill Hicks.

I know quoting Bill is pretty tramline but this one really affirms my way of thinking every time I hear it. Read it again. He was never more right.

Incantation or nothing for me now.

Anyone who knows me will know I'm no fan of Punk exactly - I have some Dead Kennedys and Minor Threat LPs from when I was a teenager as it seemed you weren't allowed to be skateboarder without them in those days - but for the genre as a whole I remain unimpressed.

I watched this video below a while back and thought I'd share the wealth on here. We used a GG Allin song on a Heroin video once but I never knew much about him. Then I saw a bunch of youtube clips and this one, well... astounded/appalled me! Am I too grown up now? Am I a total pussy?

I'm sure we've all had some pretty wacky crowd experiences at gigs before but personally I've not had the singer shit on the floor, rub it all over himself naked and cause almost the ENTIRE audience to leave! I don't know whether this is awesome or awful. Should I think the guy is some kind of punk-rock ruler or should I be worried about him and alerting his parents? Fuck knows... Have a watch and let me know how to think. I'm obviously not punk enough to get it.

Paedogeddon.

So, click the pic and read the article about the above...

If I was caught on a ski lift with a child and my trousers down I would have tried to bail too!

"Honestly officer, my trousers came down DURING the fall!"
"A likely story Sir - you're nicked!"

Six Days With Sadistik Slayer

NYE - Rachel's band played the masked ball at the Tobacco Factory.


Predictably they smashed it! A great night.

My beak didn't win Best Mask. Nor did Gav's monkey. Boooooo!



Crazed with drink.


At about 2am we made it over to The Attic to see Guy's band Dub From Atlantis. After that it's all a bit blurry for me.



Yikes!

New year's day we continued into the party zone. This bin inspired me to keep going.


Static.






Des - King hat, balloon tits, 20 Marlboros. Time for bed!

No we didn't stick around for him to wake up.

Then back to Bang and Gav's for Shooting Stars on the projector.

Absolutely wet myself - so good to see this shit again. Arise Sir Vic!

Gloaters.

Woah! The Guardian has put Rach's band Fromage En Feu as THE number 1 night out on New Year's Eve for the whole damn country! Pretty good eh? It was in Saturday's paper apparently.

Click here and have a look at the Guardian site...

Throw the radio in the bath when White Rabbit peaks!

Just added a new interview clip thing to the Landscape podcast. Following on from the Soy one a while back this has Joey and Rory talking about pretty random stuff - travelling, filming and Joey's first board. It's pretty tramline to do these things these days but it's fun to put together and better than some rough offcuts on their own I guess.

Subscribe to the podcast HERE or watch the clip online by clicking the pic above. Subscribing to the podcast will get you loads of other clips too including the whole of the Portraits video! For free!

Notice above how I can't keep up with Joey in that night-time NYC line - it was freezing and the pavement was fucked and I'm very, very old!

Fos called this morning to say he's got me 2 tickets for Morrissey next year as a Christmas present!! Siiiiiick!! Cheers geez!

Oh and Horizons itself should be out tomorrow. It got to our distributor today so go ask at your local shred shed.

The holy hand grenade of Antioch.

This was in Bristol Museum. Touch the screen? What's it gonna do? Electrocute me? I don't want to know more about death, not yet anyway!






Phone cam got emptied. Random crap has been building up in there for a while.




Ah... that old bumper sticker classic combo - Cradle Of Filth and Fat Willy's Surf Shack.

Apparently everyone in Bristol knows about this but it was new to me - JASON DONER-VAN! Fucking geniuses!






First graffiti I've genuinely approved of in living memory (apart from marker pen graff on bus stops that say "Donna takes it up the arse" and stuff like that)



Dirty boy Joel Curtis drew this. I hope his wife sees it. Anyone got her email address?
