Popdeck

Popdeck is a new site along the lines of threadless, but for skateboard decks rather than tees. There's nothing up for sale yet, but the current prize money for a winning design is $500, plus a free deck with your design on it. I hope it catches on like threadless did, cause skate decks are an awesome medium to design onto.

Metropolis Bookstore Sale

Metropolis Bookstore, One of my all time favourite book stores is having a sale from January second onwards. Apparently there will be up to 75% off. I have been to a few of their sales in the past and picked up some awesome stuff. Grabbed one of the Post Secret books really cheap. Go check it out if you live in Melbourne.

Best Tee Ever

Ok, so I'm kinda against pop culture reference tees for the fact they are nerdy and only mean something to a small percentage of the population, not to mention my short attention span makes me get over tv shows and memes pretty fast, but I have to say (huff huff run on sentence) lately The Office related tees I have been seeing have been very tempting. I would buy this in black, for sure.

Day of Action for the Whales / Animal Liberation Victoria

On January 3 there is going to be a protest in Melbourne against Japanese "research" on whales (aka killing them to eat them). I can't go due to work, but it's a worthy cause and I hope it makes more people take notice of these barbaric practices going on in the waters around Australia, among other places. Check out the details here.

Apple Tops $200 Per Share

I wish I'd bought apple shares back in highschool when apple was dying out and there was only one place to buy macs in Geelong. And everyone paid me out for owning a mac. Now half of them have macs and even more have iPods.

Maybe I could still buy like..3 shares.

Life In Still Mode

While doing some random searching, I came across this photoblog, Life In Still Mode. It has sme great street art shorts and photography in general around Malaysia. Nice stuff.

Time is going by really really really slow

I don't really know what to say about this...except maybe it seems too dumb to be real.

pitchfork top 100 songs of 2007 downloads.

I usually grab the top 100 of the year whenever I find it online, pitchfork is pretentious indie crap sure, but they usually pick some pretty good songs to put in the list (hence the whole "top" thing).

Anyway I found some zips of the tracks here:

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Enjoy.

Jay Adams

Ever since I watched Lords of dogtown, I was interested in the life of Jay Adams, Cause of his punk rock side, and maybe the fact he was played by Emile Hirsch. There's a book out with early dogtown/ Jay Adams pics taken by his stepfather, Kent Sherwood. Looks like it's worth the $20 or so they are asking for it.

Brooklyn Projects/Supra collab

I want some skytops really bad. I saw a dude wearing denim ones in dangerfield last weekend, but this is probably the best colourway I've seen them in so far. Probably cost a mint though.

tabletop dancing

Lately I have been taking every chance I can get to go to GrooveTrain to have a groove burger and play some Donkey Kong. Ever since I saw The King Of Kong, I've had some weird obsession with playing it. So now I'm moving out, I have this dream of getting a tabletop arcade machine to use as a coffee table. Just so happens there's one up for sale in my home town. Anyone feel generous?

Rancid completes writing for new album

I wasn't a huge fan of Indestructible, though it did grow on me (so poppy!) But I'm looking forward to this nonetheless. I still like rancid, And Out Come The Wolves was the best album ever.

The Heist

There's this new(ish) store in Melbourne called the Heist, it's like one of my favourite stores in Melbourne now even though I havent bought anything there yet.

But anyway here are some pics of when it was getting setting up: pretty cool. I like this place a lot. And the dude working there at the time was super nice too. Plus they have awesome sneakers. Yeah.
