Joe Lally

One of the albums that shaped my life pretty heavily was a self-titled album, that this guy Joe played bass on… Here is a pic through a window at a local record store probably at least 20 years after I first heard those tunes…

Music To Paint Your Basement To

I’m a huge fan of all kinds of music and I’ve been wanting to pop the hip hop cherry on this blog since it’s gone up. I couldn’t think of a better way to ease you honkeys into it than with the Blakroc project. If you haven’t heard Blakroc is a collaborative effort between critically acclaimed blues duo The Black Keys and various rap artists including Mos Def, Rza, Raekwon, and Q-tip, even a track featuring ODB (rip). The album dropped a month or so ago and it’s phenomenal. I must have listened to it a 100 times while painting my basement and it kept me more motivated than Kesuke Miyagi.

THE BLAKROC DOCUMENTARY
If you’re a fan of recorded music or the creative process in general, the documentary on the Blakroc site is a must-see. Every part in the series is good. My personal favorites are 4, 6, 8, and 9, where you can see things like Rza jamming out on the guitar. In part 11 you even see Raekwon’s brother wearing an Animal shirt. There’s also some great photos and bonus features like a Blakroc radio station. Check out the site here.

“Probably the most fun I ever had making music was doing this record.”

-Dan Auerbach, The Black Keys

Humble Beginnings.

Mat Hoffman became “The Condor” with the aid of a backyard vert ramp. Chase Hawk gained trail boss status by rolling through 9th St while in elementary school. At age 14, I was bunnyhopping over Avon boxes in my driveway. Is it any wonder why, 11 years after this photo was taken, I can still barely x-up?

The Most Brutal Woman Alive

If there was an election for “Most Brutal Woman Alive” I would give my vote to Amber Valentine from the black metal band Jucifer. I got to see them this weekend in Philadelphia. At first I was in the back of the venue just listening to the evil sounds coming from the stage when my friend was like, “Hey is that a girl?” We got closer to watch the show and discovered it wasn’t a full band making this huge sound, just a drummer and one girl armed with a wall of amplifiers. Her guitar shook the floor and her vocals growled like that chick in the Exorcist movie. I almost expected her head to start spinning around or chunky green vomit to shoot out of her mouth. It was that intense. Check out Jucifer’s myspace to hear for yourself (make sure your speakers have bass). If you’re a metal fan just start out with the first track “Hiroshima”. If you’re a light weight you may want to skip to something more palatable like “She Tides The Deep”. Jucifer is touring the East Coast right now, check them out if you can.

History Lesson With Large Ray!

In 2001 the X. games were in Philadelphia, and we had about 150 friends who we needed to get in to the event so we stole a friends and family pass from a well-known rider, went back to a friend of ours reprographics shop and made 200 friends and family passes. We were then able to infiltrate prime seating and started some type of raucous. Every once in a while Matt Hoffman and Steve Swope looked up at our group and I think they figured out what we did but were too busy to do anything about it

The Forgetters

On Sunday December 13th, at an old firehall converted into a gallery/showplace I got the chance to see the Forgetters, and a few other bands…. Under the watchful eye of a 20 foot Spider in the ceiling wearing a santa hat, and in the midst of mid afternoon 3 dollar tall boys, I got to witness a legend.

Like Many I grew up on Jawbreaker, made my comparison’s to jets To Brazil, got the live recording of Thorns of Life, and so on…

This new project, featuring Blake Schwarzenbach (guitar/vocals), Caroline Paquita (bass), Kevin Mahon (drums), was my first chance to see one of the guys who helped shape my life. Ever since I saw Headfirst, with Jawbreaker’s ‘Softcore’ blasting, Chad Herrington riding Honda Hills, and Vic Murphy’s timeless table top in slow motion at Mission Trails, I’d developed a tick for that sound.

I wasn’t familiar with the songs, but the show was fun, and I enjoyed it. Sounds Good…
