Rollerblading: Be-Mag Winterclash 2011 Edit
Not many words can express how important rollerblading was/is in my life. I haven’t strapped my skates on for awhile, but I’m still one of them in many ways. I wouldn’t have the job I do now had it not been for rollerblading.
WIRED Magazine picked up on the 2011 Winterclash. Pretty awesome. Check out this Be-Mag re-cap video below, it’s absolutely incredible how the sport has progressed in recent years.
Nice work, Karsten.

Grieves & Budo – “Pack It Up”
My homies G and B dropped a Valentine’s Day rap for you kids. Enjoy!
Stars on La Blogotheque!
If there’s one thing I like as much as music, it’s speaking french. Talk to me after a couple drinks and I’ll tell you all about it, homie. I was perusing my RSS feeds the other day and was a day late seeing this one drop last week – but that’s okay. Here is a video the wonderful Canadian indie group STARS chilling in San Francisco and performing in public from the french music site La Blogotheque. Watch this and tell me they’re not the best. Emotion, son.

Video: Raekwon – “Shaolin Vs. Wu-Tang”
Boooooooooom!
First video off of the new album dropping March 8th. Pretty damn fresh. Very cool how they mix the real-life with old-style illustration and mix the modern with the vintage. Wuuuu.
Atmosphere – The Family Sign album art and tracklist
Atmosphere just unveiled the album artwork and tracklisting for their upcoming album The Family Sign coming on April 12th, 2011! Check it out below.
Atmosphere returns with their 7th official studio album and the newest addition to their unparalleled body of work. The Family Sign comes from a place well refined and firmly planted, from a universal perspective. It’s about being okay with losing friends and strengthening your bonds with others, celebrating the person who’s been the most positive in your life, your kids, your homies, leaving the people you need to behind, and bringing the ones you love with you. It’s about your family, your time and the time you have with them. It’s about living and dying. It’s the truth about family, that it comes from loyalty as much as biology. It’s about breaking down your perceptions of family and really appreciating the people who’ve made you who you are and continue doing so.
The Family Sign is Atmosphere’s most personal and intimate album yet; it involves and engages the listener like never before. Slug’s signature voice weaves in and out of Ant’s ASR-born production, Nate Collis’ bluesy guitar riffs and the sound of Erick Anderson’s unmistakable keys giving The Family Sign a fresh, unique edge without sacrificing Atmosphere’s signature sound. Join the Family April 12th, 2011.
