Like many a Bali dog, this beater may not look much, but she's a faithful little gem. She is a  favourite of a few folk who pass through. Bob Moore and I especially. I ride her every time I am in Bali on the big fat shoulders of our adopted local break thanks to the gracious hospitality of her owner, artist and Bali gentleman, Andrew Wellman. Many who ride her leave their mark on her underbelly. Colourful little mut isn't she...Whalebone, Wellman and "the Bintang".

Has been ridden extensively since Oct '07 on the NSW north coast. Obviously a major tip of the hat to innovator and father of modern surfing George Greenough (we salute you!). Very difficult to paddle, favours the pocket, surprisingly fast and loose on the flats, blinding figure-eight turns possible.  Unlikely to supersede the bodyboard as most popular entry level surfcraft.

DEATH!!!

On Hot rotation at SeaCell is this insane Band!!  

THE SHOULD HAVE BEEN BLACK RAMONES

Histories of African-American involvement in punk generally begin with the band Pure Hell, who formed in Philadelphia in 1974, or Bad Brains, who burst on to the DC scene in 1977. Before either of them though, there was an all-black group from Detroit called Death, who had already recorded their first single - a slab of proto-punk that was heavily influenced by The Who, Black Sabbath and The Stooges - in 1974. Initially, Columbia Records had offered to release it but only if the band changed their name to something more "commercial". In true punk fashion, they told them where to go and it was 1976 before they were able to release the single themselves. Shortly thereafter, they disappeared off the radar...

Now, however, they are not only starting to receive their dues as the first "all black punk band" but the son of one of the band members has unearthed a whole album of master tapes which will hopefully be released in the near future. Until then, here are the two tracks from their 1974 single (via Metafilter)

Death - Politicians In My Eyes
Death - Keep On Knockin

Dan Aubach, Patrick Carney... The Black Keys.

Byron once again rocked to their Blackgrass' sound, last monday night. They just kill it live, how do they make such a cool racket?! . New album sounded great and good to see such a buzz amongst the locals. Dan and Pat swung by the Seacell and well...hung around really. Generally we get them out on a board, but conditions werent quite right (ie it was 8ft!)  thats Dans new Squire (!) guitar he picked up in the local shop. I think hes playing some Capt. Beefheart..,.  Pat, well he's just smokin..

WINTERSUN 08 was on at Coolangatta over the last few days. Incredible turn out with over 1000 rods, and a noticable increase in cool (not daggy!) cars and music . Some really great rockabilly and cowpoke bands and lots of stylish girls and dancing. But the cars are what we were there for (empty 2ft Greenmount point in the background!) . Lots of freakish chopped death-traps and my favourite , a 32 "Lord"  "lowboy' Christian beater..!  Chop your car up for next year.
