Chris Burden’s Beam Drop.

Not just for art lookers, but also for those of us that like watching huge steel beams being dropped from big yellow cranes into wet cement.

And sparks. Sparks are nice.

Grant Taylor - ‘Debacle’ section.

The best video you’ve seen since the last Max Schaaf one I put up.

Off the boob.

The Maccabees ft. Roots Manuva - ‘Empty Vessels’.

2 x very favourite artists + 1 x already smashing song = YAAAAAOW!

permalink Anyone who keeps half an eye on the stuff I put up here will know how much I dig Max Schaaf and how rad I think he is.

I ordered a couple of bits from him and he sent them through with a simple, short handwritten note and the starstruck child in me is over the moon about it.

Goodness.

The Beatles - ‘The Long and Winding Road’.

In accordance with the ‘6 month rule’, I give you the above.

Clocking in at almost 17 years past the rule, this is the first song I can remember making a genuine, meaningful commitment to as one of my ‘favourite evers’.

The album version has, in my opinion, the best string and choir section I have ever heard. It may not be technically/classically ‘correct’ (I wouldn’t know…) but, as far as making you feel physically weird when you hear it goes, it hits the spot every time.

And that’s good enough for me.

Oh yeah, and if you have any interest in this record at all, even if you just like it, you should definitely read the Wikipedia page about it, particularly the section headed ‘Role in The Beatles’ Breakup’.

Mega.

FBM Ghetto Street Contest.

This was one of my favourite jams of a few years ago, it got a couple of pages of coverage in the magazines and I think it was on Props or something so it’s good to see more footage of it…

A loop-de-loop made of pallets?

Daniel Cardone - Volume Video V.

Best ‘modern’ skate part I’ve seen in a while.

That boy can rip a stone park…
