Famous fan of The Dwarves and Cannibal Corpse, and also star of my favourite and most consistently funny comedy ever, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. Yeah, you heard.

Crazy.
Seeing as I'm laid up in my parents' house for a while, I thought I'd post an update or two on here. Three weeks ago today I was attacked in Liverpool City Centre by two guys (while out with my mum no less!) and had my ankle dislocated, ligaments ruptured and got multiple compound fractures in two lower leg bones, resulting in an operation to insert pins and plates into my ankle joint, which has also left a hefty scar (that cuts into my animal tattoo, gutted). SO this means a cast no walking for at least four more weeks, and because I still have to keep it elevated I can't even go to work and earn money. No athletic activity for at least two months, so riding is out the window for a while.
This also has halted our new band in it's tracks, in which I play drums. We are experimenting with some switchups of duties in the meantime, to keep it ticking over. We are patient though, this beast needs to be unleashed with everything it's got...
Sick-fuckin-O and Amateur Video will still be playing this on Saturday though, I'll just be sat on a stool being awkward. Should be a good day though, and at least I'll be out the house. Get your marker pens ready.

2.0.
Me and Matt D (also from Amateur Video) now play in Sick-fuckin-O from leeds, along with 'cocky' (ha) Sam Layzell and Ian Leck, both of whom may or may not have been in some bands you may or may not have heard. We had our first show with 'em on friday night in Sam's living room, deep in the heart of LS6. Also making noise were the excellent Torn Apart, and the vicious Mob Rules, who incidentally played the best set I've seen from them yet. Just you wait for that LP. Below photo of Sick-fuckin-O taken by Harry Layzell at aforementioned event.
Remember back in the days, kid?
Tank and Ad. Hammer Attack / Dirty Money bbq show in Chester, summertime 2007. Time flies!
In a bit drums.
I can't even remember what I have and haven't posted anymore, but whatever here is an amazing video of the last No Justice show. Singer is mental.
My tongue is tied, my mouth is numb...

Rock and roll.
In keeping with a previous post from yesterday, here is a trailer for The Boat That Rocked. Super fun film based on the pirate radio stations of the 60s in the UK; funny dudes, hot girls and an amazing soundtrack. Also features the dude who played Del Preston in Wayne's World 2...

Punxxxxxx
Played a little shindig called Punx Picnic in leeds last night. Waited around for 6 hours to play for 5 minutes. To say it was depressing would be an understatement as big as Charles Naper's underbite in The Blues Brothers. This picture sums up the 'energy' on the punxxxxxxxxxxx at said event...

He's got...
Social Circkle - 'City Shock' LP - No Way Records
Picked this up the very day it came out whilst on my US trip in september last year. In fact I'm quite sure Brandon at Vinyl Confilct was unpacking the boxes they arrived in as we walked into the shop. I love this band. Nowhere Fast got to play with them three times on their European tour last year (would have been four times if it wern't for the bullshit traffic on the way to London...) and they were amazing every night, despite some pretty unappreciative crowds and some very weird sound in Leeds.
One of my favourite current 'early 80s revival' bands, Social Circkle lean hard on the punk end of the hardcore punk scales, taking influence from late 70s bands such as Lost Kids and Teenage Head as well as faster early 80s bands such as the FUs and Zero Boys. I just could not stop listening to this LP. A healthy combination of pounding mid-paced punk rock and ripping fast songs with some great lyrics, alot of outsider kind of issues without straying into the 'Nothing Left Inside' creepy kind of mental anguish / serial killer potential zone. This record basically picks up where the two great EPs left off; great guitar sound, driving bass, awesome drumming, simple yet intelligent songwriting, and tons of energy. Fans of bands like Regulations and Shitty Limits will love this. If this kind of thing is your bag then this is a flawless record. 11 songs, out now on No Way Records.

WWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH
If you like music, and I mean actually LIKE music, then you should like The Sonics. It's that simple. I only really got into this band over the last couple of years and it has changed my life for the better. Just put on the ''Here Are The Sonics!'' album and do your best not to dance. Imagine all the best elements of late 50s rock'n'roll and early 60s soul, add in some thundering drums, manic howling vocals and THAT overdriven fuzz guitar, and you've got The Sonics. To say punk wouldn't have happened without the Sonics would be a bit daft, but I'm pretty sure they sped things along a bit.
And here's that guitar tone I was talking about...
Just like witches at black masses.
So you've just made it nice and safely out of the 60s. Only to get smashed squarely in the teeth by these Brummie gents. The boys in 1970, incredible.

Skeletal Dan
You heard it here first, Danny has called out a 2010 comeback...
Name: Danny / Skeletal Dan / The Crow / Asda
Age: 21
Location: Wallasey, my bedroom.
Bike Setup: No pegs, no brakes, everything overly tight, lots of psi in me tires.
Favourite spot in Liverpool:I really cant think so its deffo not but i like that kinda big 5 set down the side of some warehouse buildings just next to Toys r us.. With a bit of wood up the stairs it makes a real good fly out. If theres no wood though, theres a really cool fly out over the road which is perfect. apart from addi nearly broke his skull on the sketchy run up to it. That was just before Tank burst out off his shorts on the way to the echo ledges. Funny day.
Favourite out of town spot: I have a big soft spot for Woodside and the Civi.
Favourite city to ride aside from Liverpool: I love the asthetic of Barcelona but Cologne for me was just amazing. If i had to go back to one or the other just for the sake of riding it would be cologne.
One city you want to ride: America is an obvious choice but maybe Japan would be cool... Wherever, as long as theres fun people its what you make of it really.
Least shit artificial stunt premises: The 'shire aka Dev green. Best skatepark ever.
One trick you do alot: i like doing 360s out of stuff. thats pretty much all i can do.
Top 3 BMX videos: top 300 wouldnt be enough. for now ill just say Nowhere Fast, Animal(s), Criminal Mischeif
Top 3 BMX video sections: Van Homan Criminal Mischeif. Vinnie Sammon - Can i eat. Dave Young - nowhere fast. I could name 30 but they were the first few vids I had seen so they stick out... Oh and Stricker in Please Kill Me.
Top 3 music: bands or genre? well today ive listened to DS-13. The Replacements. Dropdead. But this can change daily and depending on mood.
Top 3 B-Team riders: I like everyone for different reasons i could never pick a favourite!
Top 3 UK riders: Chris Mainprize aka Mainy of fashion fame ( best barspin and a cracking blogger http://melonthree.blogspot.com/) thats it.
Top 3 Worldwide riders: Colt Fake, Sean burns and chester blacksmith interest me. Not saying they are typicaly the best just fun to watch.
Favourite clip on the B-Team DVD: Ryan 360ing the civi gap to perfection. Brilliant filming from me aswell!
One person who needs to come out riding more: Tank and Ryan. But realisticly probably me.
One trick you never need to see again: Anything Dakota roach does never needs to be seen anyone.
One BMX trend that does your head in: Im not really bothered by things like that. Its kinda middle of the road but if someones happy doing something and it dosnt affect me then who am i to judge.
One difference between a real street rider and a fake: whether or not they were riding street 2 years ago... and if you owned a rampworks membership theres no arguing really is there?
One rider that does your head in: Miles Roogish. Maybe its not so much his fault because all hes doing is making videos of him and his friends which is cool i can dig that, but they are mediocre at best and every time i see the words "Tuesdays with Miles" on the come up i want to physicaly fight my computer screen.
One crap BMX video off the top of your head: Brighton Aint Ready... the name and the whole concept of the video is enough to make me hate it. (Nicky Croft is brill though)
Something that's boss: Playing football is fun.
Something that's shit: cold toes and hands when your trying to ride. Thats enough to make me wanna go home.
One reason street riding is better than anything else: Its free, theres plenty of spots and its always nice to be outside.
