For our latest Retro Show’d, we resurrect the 80’s Vision Psycho Skate video. Vision Skateboards was one of the pioneers of the modern skate video, essentially being the second company to create a video, following, of course, the Bones Brigade Video 1. Vision was the home of Mark “Gator” Rogowski, who is in prison currently for [...]

Our friends at saymayday.com bring us part 2 of the documentary about…making a documentary. If you didn’t catch part 1, Alex Klein the former skater from San Fran, actually gets bored with being a skater with multiple legit sponsors and decides to become a filmmaker. Previous experience? Nah. But hey, why not give it a shot, [...]

In the tradition of The Ramones, The White Stripes, and maybe even …*cough*…The Donnas, here’s another band who adopts part of their band moniker as their own names. “Oh, Atoms” is made up of Gwen Atom and Marc Atom, who are both multi-instrumentalists and vocalists, it seems, with long pasts in the music biz.

Some music historians marvel at the fact that not only did four talented musicians come from the same fairly insignificant city of Liverpool, England in the early 60’s, but that the moons aligned and fate allowed John, Paul, George, and Ringo to actually find each other in the right place at the right time to [...]

In the March 2010 issue of SURFER magazine, there’s a great story about five top professional surfers who head to Mexico for a surf trip. Sounds fairly typical of something you’d find in a surfing magazine. But what’s different about this surf trip story is that these amazingly talented surfers are women. That’s not shocking [...]

Hey fans of Manchester Orchestra, listen up. Here’s a little story: It was way back in the summer of 2008, and Manchester Orchestra had just completed a lengthy tour. The guitarist, Robert McDowell, was camped out at his parents’ house in Atlanta without anything to do except occupy the basement. He was looking forward to [...]

Ever take a pack of post-it notes and draw a crude animation on frame or post-it at a time?   I have.  After drawing for an hour and a half, I fan through the entire deck of post-its to make my stick figure walk across the pad.   Then, not only have I realized that [...]
