The Hydrilla’s Cullen Poythress interviews Henry Rollins on the topics of skateboarding, punk rock, the Internet, and kids today. For those old enough to have seen Black Flag play in the summer of 1982, or those young enough to wonder, this is a great interview. Read it and smile.
The youth have been satiated. They have ipads, ipods, iphones, and everything is a point and a click away. The format that used to raise the parents’ ire, it being music or whatever, it’s all kind of okay now. The Internet gives you a great deal of access and a great deal of privacy. You can view your online porn and you can make your own porn with your girlfriend and post it to the delight of all your class mates. There’s not a lot of people saying, “No”, at this point.
Can’t really argue with anything but the privacy thing. Click the link and read the rest.
Shaun White stepping up his acting (and lady killee) game in the new Black Keys video Howling For You. Don’t worry about having to watch the entire video.
We really were going to ignore this whole story, but then it got so big that we figured we’d have to put it in the log for posterity sake.
On Friday, February 4, 2010, (ten days before Valentine’s Day) Tony Hawk reportedly filed for divorce in San Diego, California from his third wife Lhotse Merriam, according to US Magazine and nearly everyothercelebritymediaoutlet (except Perez Hilton).
“We have made the difficult decision to file for divorce,” the parents of two-year-old Kadence Clover told UsMagazine.com in a joint statement. “We remain deeply committed and loving parents to our daughter, and out of respect for that responsibility we ask that people honor our family’s privacy during this important time of transition. Thank you for your understanding.”
The couple was married for five years. Without going into all the rumors, we’ll just say something we’ve said several times before: we hope Tony eventually finds what he’s looking for because he certainly seems optimistic about the institution of marriage. Plus, by now he probably has something close to a Massey Prenup all dialed and ready to sign.
She’s got an amazing voice and tickles the ivories like few women can, but we’ve never actually enjoyed looking at Lady Gaga. That may have changed with Terry Richardson photos of the Lady for Purple Magazine. Who knew that all she needed to look reasonably normal was a Supreme deck and some shades.

Ryan Sheckler seems like the wrong person to be representing a debit card called “BillMyParents.” Wouldn’t it be more fitting for his parents to promote a card called “BillMyKid?”
The mainstream print media’s delayed timelines have finally caught up with the big KS10 news. The February issue of Outside Magazine features Slater in a story titled Kelly Slater’s Perfect 10, and GQ has him as one of 10 covers for their 25 Coolest Athletes of All Time issue. Add them to the list. . .
During the Sundance Film Festival (which runs January 20-30, 2011) brands do pretty much anything they can to get celebrities to wear, hold, use, and promote their products.
Stars reportedly get to roll through houses and/or shops set up in Park City, Utah and pick and choose what they want. Burton Snowboards is all over it according to a story on The Wrap.
Try for the Burton House, where select industry VIPs can get off Main Street, get private lessons (and free gear) from snowboard legend Jake Burton himself, or just hit the slopes for a few hours.
Danny Davis is even out making celebrity runs with stars like Gossip Girl’sPenn Badgley, according to Zimbo. Don’t say Burton Team members don’t work for their pay.
Last night CNN broadcast a little profile on Shaun White. It was part of their Revealed program and the videos have gotten Shaun nothing but grief from the independent snowboard media.
…full of ridiculous claims, everyone just saying how awesome he is, including himself, all the footage was provided by sponsors and advertisers, and we could go on and on. So if you don’t know what to do right now, check how CNN revealed Shaun White.
In fact, this whole program reminded me of a Transworld article. All the footage was provided by sponsors and advertisers, The “editorial” is provided by someone nobody even knows, all claims are ridiculous, all the riders input is strictly worthless sound bites we’ve heard a million times before, and they call it important.
We haven’t watched it yet, but we’re going to just as soon as we link all this video up. . . follow the jump for the rest. [click to continue…]
The Daily Mail is reporting this star-studded meet up at a “sports shop” earlier this week: the David Beckham family and Shaun White:
The boys – Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, eight, and five-year-old Cruz – seem particularly keen on skateboarding – which is hugely popular in the US – and are fans of sports star Shaun White, who is an Olympic gold medallist and a champion of both the skateboard and the snowboard.
We all just love, love, love each other. Apparently, there is no end to the celebrity circle jerk.
We finally watched a little of The X Life on VH1. Turns out Papa Joe’s people know how to make entertaining reality TV. It has all the normal train-wrecks plus a little skateboarding (and BMX and MX). This is the second episode Click the link to catch the rest.
