I'm pretty sad to report that Silver Jews' frontman David Berman has called quits. I was a pretty big Jews fan as you might have been able to tell by my references to their lyrics in this blog.Fortunatly I was able to catch them play in SF last year during what was only their second time touring since forming in 1989. His lyrics made me feel like a character in a book who drifts from town to town, staying in hotel rooms and drinking a lot of scotch.
RIP Silver Jews.

RIP Oscar Grant.
For those of you who don't already know Oscar Grant was fatally shot in the back on new years day at the Fruitvale BART station by a BART cop while handcuffed and face down on the ground. Some are claiming this was an accident but i see no reason why the cop had his gun out in the first place when he could have easily grabbed his tazer or pepper spray. This murderer needs to be brought to justice. That being said destroying innocent peoples' property and vandalizing independent businesses is a shitty way to bring attention to your cause.

Keep it simple stupid.
After watching Anthony Pappalardo's episode of Epicly Later'd i was reminded of this sweet youtube clip of Pops and friends shreddin around New York, in black and white set to a tune by Charles "Jesus Christ" Manson. Shit like this gets me way more hyped to skate than Fully Flared because i can relate to it. Don't get me wrong the skating in FF is amazing but who the fuck skates like that? Those dudes don't even skate like that.I guess what i'm tryin to say is: Take it down a notch, Skateboarding. You're getting too big for your britches.
