This weekend will be great, as we truck on down to Rice and enjoy the Outdoor Show with our homies. We are hyped to see Wild Mocassins, Chairlift, Slim Thug and all the bands set to rip. Truth be told, Rice radio has been a big part of our H-Town experience , even since moving here in ’94. From avid listener, to helping my bro Roo’s as he mixed on-air, and now helping as a sponsor, we truly are grateful for KTRU’s influence, and opportunites. As changes pass, we encourage our firends to continue supporting this resource as it enriches our ear drums and adapts deftly to a new world that technology facilitates and necessitates.
Looking back, Roo and I decided to post this live, uncut mix from ’98. Archived on cassette, via FM dub, and blanded on alanog turntables/mixer, it is nice postcard from the past, and a reminder of how different our sound consumption might be in 20 years. We hope you get a kick out of it, and enjoy. Again, Outdoor Show is Free and Fun, and turning 21. See You There!

WE’re still working on it, but to start off with, we’ll begin by posting new podcasts and event updates. Let th Good Times Roll!
John Danielson communicates a rider’s personality and character in ways that confound most skate videographers. He clearly picks which riders he will shoot, and chooses to show what skateboarding is, rather than just play back what skaters did on any given shoot. He captures an unashamed enthusiasm and excitement about skateboarding that is set out like a big middle finger to the uptight regimented world of hardcore or extreme sporting. I will forever be a fan of his, for letting the fun shine through.
See for yourself on Saturday, or be a good economic stimulator and cop the DVD, or two.
Full Disclosure: Brown Clown rides for SK808 (We love that guy!)
This local event celebrates our skate scene from the hallowed concrete alter of EZ-7. Historically a Surfhouse event, This gathering is truly our big family get together. Crazy uncles and gossipy aunts included. It is also a great time for giving and supporting Houston skateboarding. Contact any of our sponsors to contribute your time, goods and elbow grease to ensure everyone has an awesome time. Stay tuned!
Skateboarding is art and science – and the organizers of Skatestock are set to explode your thought jelly, with live music, art, physics and hopefully a lot of kooks in costumes milking the Halloween month dry. Set at the Jamail Skatepark, already an incubator for creativity and youth culture, the place will be primed for eyeballs & ears of every attention span, and is the culmination of many successful grass roots music events. See you there!
