For all you J Dilla fans here is an upadte. His mom opened up a foundation under his name, J DILLA FOUNDATION. You can go there and see the family of artist support that is behind this, hopefully some wonderful things spawn from this great effort. We love the concept behind it...a definate read for any fan of J Dilla's, Tribe Called Quest, Slum Village, Roots, Hip Hop, Music, any or all of the above...if you like them you should get in the know.

six hundred and thirty dollars

Yes it's true...maybe some of you know the state of collectable skateboard gear, but in case you didn't peep the ended auction here for this vintage Jeff Kendall beauty. Man if I was made of money I guess I would do it too...no I wouldn't...maybe a re-issue I would drop a few hundred for but $630 for a deck is out of my league...shoes maybe but just a deck...but if if there is ANY deck out there worth dropping that much coin on this is the one...I just hope that thing is going on a wall or in storage, not getting set up and ridden...but to each there own...that thing is a piece of history, one of the best condition decks I have seen....for all I know $630 is a steal considdering the Lucero deck I saw going for $1400 last month. You gotta step up to the plate skateboard collectors in the two double owe six peoples.

NEW BALANCE 2001

I have been wearing these as often as possible since I bought a pair at the New Balance store when I was in LA last month. Only time I do not like to wear them is when skateboarding, they are too cushy for me in that application but otherwise they are like walking on a cloud. Fairly cool looking but once you put them on if you have $200 or less to spare you will drop the cash on them and it will be money well spent. Found them for $150 ish here if you want a pair of the black ones shown above. Also came in a light grey version. Those are gonaa get copped soon too. Peace

KNUCKLEBONZ

If you are a old school butt rock fan then you might want to take a look at these killer new figures from Knucklebonz that I just found here at the Musician's Friend web site. Super cool, done in the exact likeness of some of the greatest guitarist of the era: Slash, George Lynch, Rhandy Rhodes, Dimebag Darrell and Zakk Wylde. Decent price on these being just under $100, super attention to detail.
