I was wrong.

Even though I thought it was definitely a possibility I didn´t want to believe that Shaun would dress up as the Wendy's Hamburger girl for Halloween and show the photo on all the talk shows claiming he didn't want Tony Hawk coming over to his party to Twitter a photo..

But Tony did come over and posted this photo on his Twitter.


And yes, the outfit was good. But if it was to make money of Wendy's it was imho a really lame idea.
Apparently Wendy's were already sponsoring Shaun's video game and had logo placements in it.
And I think it's cool that Shaun goes to Leno, Letterman etc and plugs his video games and stuff. But I don't think it's cool to plug Wendy's like it was a spur of the moment costume that just happened to spread like Swine Flu and conveniently made it onto prime time tv when it was a planned marketing strategy.

Now I'm sure Shaun and his entourage made some sweet dollars from this and good for them, but I still think it was a lame move. And yes I know, my opinion doesn't matter to about 99.999999999999% of the people who buy Shauns game, snowboards, clothing etc.
He's going to win the Olympics and everyone at Wendy's will be happy.

Who knows.. maybe Wendy's will have a flying tomato on their menu soon.

Röyksopp in New York City!

The day started out on by the Pacific Ocean. In the afternoon I landed by the Atlantic Ocean. This went by way faster than Lewis and Clark got back.
Three hours after I got into the apartment in NYC I was 10 blocks away watching my favorite band, Röyksopp.
Considering I missed them in LA last Wednesday (due to one of the possibly worst cases of strep throat) I was very stoked.

If I hadn't Googled what was going on in the city I would have probably chillin on the bed, browsing the web, watching Californication.. If I would have realized that I missed Röyksopp again I would have almost jumped of a bridge, especially since they were playing 1.5 km away..

I went by myself, couldn´t find friends who would join me on such short notice.
So going by myself and sober wasn't really how I'd picture my next Röyksopp (saw them in Gothenburg/Sweden in August) concert, but better that than nothing. If I would have been drunk with friends I might have exploded with stoke.

Ever since I saw the video for 'Eple" I was hooked on this band. I used the "Remind Me" remix for a movie called "Lame" in 2003.
And ever since then they've been on most of my playlist.

The concert was sick. Small-ish venue with decent audio.
They played one unreleased song, but the rest were hits. I had high expectations on seeing Robyn come up on stage to sing like she did in LA last week, but no... the singer who sang all Robyn's and Karin's songs was Norwegian and she did a good job.

Instead of giving a full review of the concert I made this 11 minute clip of the concert.
So if you like Röyksopp and have 11 minutes to spare, here you go. Audio sucks and stuff.. but you get the idea.

Fourstar team in Stockholm.

Some of you might have seen this clip before, it was up for a few days in May but I took it down because Fourstar might wanted to use some clips in their tour video.

They didn´t use any clips so I´m posting it again.



Here´s the Fourstar tour video, Gang Of Fourstar. The Stockholm section starts at 6:40.

New Girl Video - Beauty And The Beast

Just started watching Beauty And The Beast by Girl Films.

In case you didn´t know Girl and Anti-Hero teamed up for a camping tour earlier this year.
Vbs.tv has a GREAT 10 part series about this tour here:

But Girl also made a short video about the tour. I´m only a few minutes into it but got really stoked when they used this Santa-Cruz-Wheels-Of-Fire-effect. I´ve thought about biting that effect for a long time, but never got around to it. Love it.

Jason Lee was the smoothest skater, ever.

What he was able to do at this little demo in the 80´s is unreal. Unreal

360 ollies, bs flip, 360 flips.. and with such style. Insane.
