Bruce Willis in Stylo
Just headed over to Youtube to watch the video for Stylo, the new Gorillaz single. For some reason they’ve disabled embedding so here’s a still and yes, that is Bruce Willis. Best musical project he’s worked on since Return of The Bruno.

I'm New Here album cover
RAD, not something I was expecting to see but there’s a new Gil Scott-Heron album on the way, it’s entitled I’m New Here out on the 8th of February on XL Recordings.
As far as I was aware he’s been in and out of prison for the last decade or so so I’m glad he’s got it together to release some new material.

Unkle – Heaven Remix from We Love You So on Vimeo.
Just found myself over at the Spike Jonze blog and saw this video for Unkle, saw the original footage from Fully Flared a while ago and thought it was great, as is this video; skateboarding, explosions and music from Unkle.
Just headed over to the Thrasher website and saw they have a new video player. No bad thing, I used to hate the Quick Time movies they had, so slow. This is some RAD footage of Christian Hosoi, that benihana! Holmes.
There’s also an Hosoi interview on the Fuel.tv website.
This is a moment most skaters have been through, that first drop in, a right of passage. Clearly it’s the easiest trick in the world, other than pushing along or riding off a curb perhaps, but it doesn’t feel like it when you’re up there looking down that first time. Put the tail on the coping with your back foot on it, move your front foot onto the board around the front truck bolts, move your weight forward and roll down the tranny. Easy!
Damn, I feel sorry for the little fella. It’s pure psych when it comes off, and then, once you’ve made it, it’s almost impossible to bail it ever again. It’s all about that first time though. He’s definitely got his front foot too far forward there.
I think I made my first drop-ins at all heights thankfully.
