Plot Summary: Machotaildrop is a highly visual and fantastical journey about an amateur skateboarder, Walter Rhum, who realizes his dream of turning pro and riding for the world's greatest skateboard company... Machotaildrop. Set in an anachronistic time and place, Machotaildrop is the greatest skateboard company of its day and the regal and grand sport of skateboarding has been thriving for many generations. Walter's journey serves as a window through which we discover the dark underbelly of what appears at first to be a benign skateboard company... plot summary from IMBD

Here is some music from London/South-East UK artist Blue Daisy. If you like music from the likes of Tricky or Massive Attack, and with a touch of alternative indie-soul, check this... the first track/snip "Shallow Vicinity" is a deep blend of gritty dub/electronica and "Hunterz" can be described as a new indie/soul and alt/psychedelia sound... out on Black Acre Records

Really, in many ways, Longstreth could be viewed as this generation's answer to Byrne, a distinctive torchbearer of labyrinthine song arrangements that go down easy.

My new favorite record. I know this is all too gushy. Whatever, congratulations."Posted by the Wools on: December 16 2009

30 years and a couple of days ago, The Clash released London Calling... The third record from the band, but the first to showcase the taste for new forms of music and an iconic album cover referencing Elvis Presley's debut album, London Calling is always a record worth listening to straight through...
