Don’t know very much about Crystal Castles – discovered them while searching iTunes for new music. Hope to hear more from Crystal Castles in the coming years.

In 1994 Geffen Record Company (DGC) released a b-sides and rarities compilation which included “Jamie” by Weezer. I soon purchased Weezer’s debut album “Weezer” also referred to as the “Blue Album” – definitely my favorite Weezer CD.

Thanks Navin. This clip is from “Exit Planet Dust” by the Chemical Brothers. An illustration professor at RISD introduced me to Chemical Brothers…in 95 I believe.

Great song from the movie Sin City – introduced by an ex-colleague DJ Moore.

This is an all time top 40 favorite…of 2009 (song released in 1996!). Let’s say “Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in My Hand” is number 37. Which means, 39 more YouTube videos to go till January 1, 2010. My friend Navin wondered – “why not start from 40?” I’m not sure…

Been meaning to post this for sometime. Another video from Andy. I picked up “We Were Promised Jetpacks” on the day iTunes released. Please, check out the CD – good stuff…

Took this photo on my way to lunch today. On rotation, do you think the crank hits the exhaust? Anyway, I think it’s pretty cool.

What to say?

In 1989 I moved from the States to Seoul, Korea. I started the 9th grade at Seoul International High School in SeongNam, just outside Seoul. Because of my interest in skateboarding I was quickly able to make new friends – who soon introduced me to Public Domain (a Powell Peralta video released in 1988). I’ve seen this particular scene close to 30 times. Skateboarding has changed dramatically in the past 20 years…just like everything else, I guess – hah.

Almost a year ago, Nic asked me to participant in an art show at Orchard Skate Shop. This is one of 2.5 paintings based on the Korean card game known as Go Stop. (oils on wood). I gave this to Nic…and he was supposed to give me a print, but not sure what happened.
