No Place to Go

"Kick, Push, Coast...
And thats way he roll, just a rebel to the world with no place to go.."
"Kick Push"- Lupe Fiasco

"It's Dirty, It's Filthy, It's Paradise!"

After long last, here is the July playlist. Partly inspired by the film Adventureland (a coming of age film where Kirsten Stewart falls in love with Jesse Einsberg to a Lou Reed song at a theme park), the epic doc Dogtown and Z Boys, California, the films The Runaways, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Dazed and Confused and legit summer vibes, this playlist should be enjoyed while drinking some SoCo and soaking perpetually in the sun. I wish I could live inside this playlist and smoke a giant joint while listening to "Sweet Leaf" under the huge western sky.

Hair of the Dog

True Z-Boy style from 1978.
When I think of summer, I think of Lords of Dogtown. I've watched that movie countless times and will continue to until I can transfer the vibes off the screen into my soul.

New School Vibes

I am the lizard king, I can do anything...
This skate vid. by Supra and Thrasher brings all those skate memories back. The days when I use to shoot the shit with a whole bunch of dudes, skating, drinking beer, listening to Judas Priest tapes backwards, and generally being a shit disturber. Granted, I was not a great skater, I was a way better skate photographer, I still enjoy the skate lifestyle. Not the high octane X-Games pro-skater, but the low key, smoking j's and vibing with the concrete waves skater. This vid. encapsulates all of the beauty and passion behind legit skateboarding. Finding hidden spots, meeting people on the road, shotgunning beers and generally having a good time. This is the new school version of Lords of Dogtown, where the skaters are not trying to get rich but rather living a lifestyle of leisure and pleasure, where the true passion is at.
