Etnies at Glastonbury
Etnies will be rocking the skate side of things at the Greenpeace skate area this weekend so expect to bump into a muddy version of Caradog Emanual (etnies), a smelly Nikki Howells (éS), an out of control Chris Jones (emerica), a man possibly dressed as a turd aka Woody (éS) and the ‘whoa’ master himself, Mr Carl Wilson.
Etnies are hosting skate lessons in the morning and pro demos in the afternoon. There’s no need to bring skate shoes as etnies are supplying them along with a few other freebies!
Independent Music Press are collating images for a new book called SKATE EARTH based on skate photography.
Basically if you would like to chip in your photos to the book they could be published. Independent Music Press did this recently with the Tattoo Soup book showcasing people’s art and it worked really well.
Email your photos to skate@impbooks.com and in exchange for you photos you will receive a free copy of the hardback book if they published. This is open to skaters, graphic artists and anything related to skate culture in general so get busy.

Keyboard Grind anyone?
Big thanks to Rachele who sent in this link to these Italians who have been riding computer keyboards as an art project. Jodi is a collective of two internet artists who had this show down at the Project Gentili in Prato, Italy last month. Rumours have it that Dan Cateshas asked for one as his next pro model for Death.

TV On The Radio man to go solo
TV On The Radio’s Kyp Malone has announced that he will release his debut solo album this autumn.
The singer and guitarist is calling the project Rain Machine and will be putting the album out on Anti- Records. Speaking about the album he said:
“I’ve been writing and recording songs alone since I moved to NYC in 2000, at first alone because I didn’t know anyone, then through the years by choice because of a particular freedom that going it alone afforded.”
He also said the material would be “a nearly full spectrum of frequencies audible to the human ear”
