The Man Who Souled the World

I just picked up a copy of The man Who Souled The World at one of my accounts in Arizona. With the whole Dogtown and Z-Boys documentry hoopla going around in the past 2 years I was kind of skeptical on another documentry on skateboarding. With a few hours to kill in my hotel room I popped in this DVD and was glued to the screen. It documnets the rise and mutiny of World Industries and other brands legend Steve Rocco created. This movie will make you see skateboarding from the early 90's in a whole new light. Steve Rocco did whatever the fuck he wanted and managed to take down the top 3 skateboard companies in one fail swoop. I highly reccomend buying, burning or borrowing this movie. No matter how you get it you NEED to watch it. Steve Rocco is a genius!

Musica

Went to the Casbah last night and saw one of the best shows I have seen in a long time.........except for the Weakerthans a month ago. It was the boys from Delta Spirit's CD release show for their new album Ode to Sunshine.
If you haven't already done so I highly suggest you go grab yourself a copy, it's amazing.
Ex-The Colour members, We Barbarians, opened the show. Not having heard We Barbarians yet, but being a fan of The Colour, I got down there early. Enjoyed a tall can of PBR and was blown away. We Barbarians are the real deal. Check Them out for yourself http://www.myspace.com/webarbarians
