TT are done, took a little swim in the mediterranean and now its internet sess time at Mcdonalds. Took 11th today, which i'm not super psyched on. Made some mistakes on the 2nd and last straights, not huge ones but enough to slow down a solid lap, talent pool is getting deep these days, cant...

No Friends- No Friends (No Idea) One of the best things about No Idea is the label has no set definitive sound. While most labels stay within the confines of a certain genre, this longtime Gainesville, Florida institution is as likely to put out metal (Holy Mountain) as they are country-esque...

Today my little man turns one year old.  Wow I can not believe a year has already flown by since Noah was born.  I thank the Lord for blessing our family with Noah Daniel, and for entrusting us to care for him and raise him.  Happy Birthday Little Man.

Well the other night my BMX race bike got stolen from my office.  So pissed!!!!  I went out on my Mountain bike for about an hour or two riding around in some pretty shady areas.  Talking to the locals and some crackheads if they have seen anyone out on my bike.  Got a few...

Love South France. Beautiful weather, beautiful scenery, crepes, gelato, beach, would be perfect minus the old saggy ladies that roll topless on the beach. Got in yesterday in the AM, been fighting jet lag ever since. Day 2 is worst for me, should be rolling better tomorrow. Team went and...

Team USA Cycling has arrived to Frejus, France for the final World Cup in the SX series for 2009. We flew in today in two separate groups, one on United (we got some sweet double miles) and the other on Delta.  They had to wait for us for 21/2 hours at the airport but eventually our...

I received a new bike from DK the other day and I must say it's the best bike I've ever ridden. The frame is a prototype of my second generation signature frame from DK. I've changed a few things and cleaned it up a bit this time around. It also has removable mounts and tabs. Good stuff. I'm...

Cococoma- Things Are Not All Right (Goner Rec) More greatness from Chicago, this time wife and husband garage punk (with an additional member) who have been at it since 2005, releasing a couple 7"'s and splits prior to a self- titled full length. It's a pretty straight forward formula; Lisa...

Balance and Composure- Only Boundaries (No Sleep Rec) Though this band are all still youngsters (average age of the band= 18), they've been banging away for years in plenty of other PA indie bands like Erection Kids, War Pig and Scenic State. Coming off a very well received EP in 2008, 'Only...
