SKATERDATER! SIDEWALK SURF 65 STYLE

This old school skate film was made in 1965 with a groovy soundtrack by Mike Curb, Davie Allan and Nick Venet. It was nominated for an Oscar in 1965 for best short subject and won the Palm d'Or at Cannes for best short film in 1966.

LISTEN TO THE WHOLE SOUNDTRACK HERE: POW!

THANK GOD IT'S BIG STAR!

I bought my copy of Big Star's Radio City at Tropicalia Discos in Rio, Brazil. Dudes KNOW their sh@t. Deep seven inch knowledge of the most obscure + funky cuts from Brazil....

But, this is about the back cover. Big Star digs Fridays! The photo on the back the 1974 album was shot at Fridays restaurant. Was Fridays the hawt spot back in the day? Check the close-up. Probably accidental sponsorship. Nowadays the band could of gotten some corporate cheese.
Check out photographer William Eggleston's account of the shot of the iconic front cover. CLICK

Damn, I've listened to this record a lot...!

SUPER POP! Magazine IPANEMA BEAT '70s Style

I found a half a dozen issues of Super Pop! magazine at a flea market in Rio years ago. It was a newspaper style music paper in Brazil in the early 70s. There are music, art and theater reviews, gossip, news, photos, comics, jokes...
Groovy cultural ephemera from post-Tropicalia Brasil. Each issue contains a fold-out poster. Check out a very young and sexy Gal Costa below.

THE BREAKFAST CLUB FACTION

(Above) Classic scene in the Breakfast Club when Judd Nelson starts to tell the 'naked blonde, poodle, salami' joke, but never gets to finish because he falls through the ceiling.

(Below) The Faction were a killer skate punk band from San Jose in the mid-eighties that featured pro skater Steve Caballero.

Here's their cover of the Mamas and Papas 'California Dreamin', which becomes the bad ass punchline to the mystery joke. Love the tweaked lyrics about watching MTV all day and not being able to buy a coke. Straight old school California style!

"Doom Riders!"  Maybe cuz Mike Watt had 'Hell Ride' written on his bass... Shout out to Wood from Man is the Bastard!  Finally saw the new Tron movie on DVD, so I dug up a mix from last year. Cool Indie, Psych, Dub, Hip Hop, New Wave weirdness...
