In 2007 3 file boxes containing roughly 30,000 negatives were discovered at the Rose Bowl Flea Market in Pasadena, Ca. In the 3 boxes was Surfing’s History from 1972-1993. Doug Walker traveled for over 3 years finding the people, as well as the photographers who lived and surfed in that fraction of time and the stories that would have been lost, if those negatives had not been found.
This is LOST & FOUND

Clear Soul Forces - Strangers in the Night.
Just been put onto this. I like them, I like the self referential Crooklyn Dodgers hook, I like the fact their rhymes are dense like a dense thing. But they also remind me of Camp Lo in the fact that I’m not quite sure whether their rhymes actually make any sense, or if it’s just a combination of pop culture references, metaphors, cool sounding words, which don’t actually take you anywhere…
All Hail The Beat - Nelson George runs down why the Roland TR-808 was the seminal music machine in the creation of dance music..
5 Ela - Right To Carry (instrumental)
Another gem of a beat produced by J Dilla..
Good Fucking Design Advice. With Extra Fucking
Professor Longhair, gets all down and dirty…
Reminding me of the messy Saturday night just gone..
Shining some light on this Ramsey Lewis album with a redesign.
just found out about J Rochester’s redesigns of Jazz and Hip Hop album covers. They are brilliant, musings on how record covers, can be transformed into something different and ethereal. Amazing.
Thanks to this really inspiring blog for pointing me to them.. http://www.voicesofeastanglia.com/
Roni Size is exceptionally talented, and this tune just kills it….
Wet Plate photography writ large. Ian Ruhter goes old school analog, with his camera in a van, creating original, individual images.
Exquisite.
If we must die, let it be riding!
Always had the fear that I would lose my legs and not be able to walk, run, ride. But this short film fills me with hope, that no matter what my physical condition, riding a bike will always be possible.
