Amos x Almost. The Full Set.

Quite a few people have complimented us on the recent collaboration we did with Almost Skateboards in California. Our old friend Bod Boyle (the President at parent company, Dwindle) approached us and asked if we wanted to do something with the team. We agreed that using the In-Crowd could work really well. So JJ set about re-drawing some of the characters to fit with the riders choices. It was a bit of a 'back to our roots' moment for James and me.

When James blogged on this a while back he didn't post images of the full set. So here they are...

Unfortunately...

the compilation below is no longer available. Apparently some label moron complained to blogger and the link had to be removed. Stupid really. Surely things like this give exposure to music that is not so readily accessible? And I would have thought that if someone hears something they like on a downloaded compilation that they may then be encouraged to investigate the band. And who knows... they might then spend some cash on some music or a live performance and support the artist. Am I missing something here?

On the off chance you might be interested...

I have another music compilation posted on the excellent Kick to Kill blog. This one is a big riff heavy Stoner/Doom bong fest. Not to everyones' taste but if you like big stoned guitar licks and a good head nod then this might be your thing. Get it here.

A topical post for UK Election Day 2010

As if by magic, on UK election day, this image turns up in our inbox. Thanks to James Yeah? for this photo of his amazing Winston Churchill customization of the 'World of Pain' Lars figure. I have no doubt in my mind that no matter what the real result in todays election, if this customized vinyl figure was elected and took office, the citizens of the UK would be no worse off...
