Plan B Skateboards have got a series of sort videos on their site called While Your Were Sleeping, all filmed at night.
Featuring members of the team, this is all the high standard skating you’d expect from the likes of PJ Ladd and the rest of Plan B.
See what they get up to while your sucking your thumb and dreaming of playing in the World Cup at www.planbskateboarding.com
So they’ve made you wait long enough already, but hang on in there a little longer.
Lakai’s Fully Flared has finally been given a release date of November 16th. I’m not going to bother hyping this any more because you already know it’ll be amazing.
Go and wait out the countdown at www.lakai.com
Love chucking yourself off massive drops? Think the Leap of Faith isn’t that much bigger than a curb? Fancy winning some hard earned cash for you efforts?
Now you can! Vans are organising the Step Up challenge for anyone willing/stupid enough to hurl themselves down the monstrous drop that you can see Ollie Tyreman not making below. Win yourself £200, get shin splints, and leave most of your elbow skin on the road as you attempt not to break your legs. Remember, hip replacement takes a fucking long time on the NHS.
Household Records have two new videos out from bands on their roster.
You Me And The Atom Bomb have finished their huge European trek and have posted up a video for Won’t Let Go.
Also, Hostage Life have a video up for their track Sons Of Hostage Life, which you can see below:
Kano‘s new album will feature Blur man Damon Albarn.
The grime MC will release his new album London Town in September and it will see appearances from Albarn, Kate Nash, Craig David and Vybz Cartel. The best thing we’ve read about the album here at HQ is Kano discussing why it’s called London Town:
“I just wanted to tell people about the London I know rather than all these people like Fergie [Black Eyed Peas] talking about it”
You tell ’em son.
NOFX will be releasing a live album in 2008.
This will mark the second live album they’ve done, following I Heard They Suck Live which was released over 10 years ago.
The new record will feature recordings from their global assault including China, Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Korea and South Africa.

Ghost riding is great. You stick on some crunk or some hyphy, you get out of your car whilst it’s still moving and have a bit of a boogie, then get back in. Awesome. Unless you’re some kind of retarded bellend who doesn’t get that a lampost isn’t a friend of the truck:
