Tunes: Blake Mills

Conner

If you haven’t heard of Blake Mills yet, you were going to sooner or later. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Blake perform live twice now. Once at a hoe down and once last night at Mollusk surf shop in Venice. Both times I have been dumbfounded by his ability to dissect, shred, and caress a guitar all at the same time. Three very different types of guitar playing, but somehow when you hear him play it makes sense. It’s literally mesmerizing. Blake’s also a super nice and genuinely good dude. Here’s a cool profile piece on Blake. Oh and he’s recording a new record right now that will surely be amazing.

Spray of the Day

Conner

You might not remember, but we used to do a little thing called spray of the day. We post sprays that we do, we like, orĀ  really don’t like! haha. We haven’t posted a spray of the day in a super long time, but when we were down at Lowers the other day, I couldn’t help but notice this kids epic Social Distortion paint job. Check it out.

A Cabo Short

Conner

A while back, December to be exact, we jumped down to Cabo for a few days. We planned it as the first trip in a series of trips to make a new movie. But then the swell didn’t show up. And another day with no swell, and another. Then it ended up being quite the skunk mission as far as waves go, and we pretty much did nothing but whoopdy dos and twirly birds. Maybe mix in a wee helicopter fly by and basically yeah. Not much variety, but we had a hell time. As far as good times go, it ranked up there with the best of them. Thanks to Quirk for hosting us!
