The Sharpies

Tadhg Taylor’s definitive book Top Fellas tracks the “two-fisted, two-decade” history of sharp from its emergence (parallel to mod in the UK) through successive and distinctive Oz responses to skinhead, glam and punk.

The hundred in the hands

If you have spent time in Los Angeles, then you have probably spent some time listening to KCRW.  It is the best non-profit radio ever.  Although some music gets a bit techno and the opinions a bit liberal for my taste, overall it is worth supporting.  Here is the full album preview of “The Hundred in the Hands”, courtesy of KCRW

Now/here

Well the cold has descended upon us again or at least some seriously moody clouds, and in celebration of this display of weather I am overdosing on snowboard teasers. Also thanks to Fred’s amazing post below of Yosemite, I am officially jones’n for some magnificent mountain days. For now these high quality video teasers of outstanding shredding will have to do.
