Signal BMX

there are a couple of new mags coming out very shortly... 2020 and rebelyell. actually i think 2020 is out today.



now, i honestly don't know what they are trying to achieve by (pretty much) simultaneously releasing issues. an honest oversight/coincidence... or are they trying to slit each other's (and their own) throats? i don't know what to make of this, but it certainly appears to be foolish.

personally, i wonder how long the 4 magazine economy can last in such a small country, especially when focalpoint is free (and so good) and bmxpress has a stranglehold on the racing geeks (even if it is cheese).

ps. 2020 has a really cool 'current issue' feature now, where they give you a tease of whats in the mag. check it out.

pps. sorry to pollack and holmes (if you read this) for not posting the blurbs you gave me, but this situation is just too odd to not make a comment on. anyway, i'm sure the kids check out the 500 other blogs that have posted the blurbs :)

ok not bmx related, but i have a bit of a new era slash fitted cap fetish... came along this... US$1400

these will be availible in short and long sleeve options, colours to be announced. stay tuned.

there is an interview on world travelling adelaide boy shane badman on the colony news reel. shane rules and is the nicest muscley guy i know. holla!

trend bikes, nathan williams bars, wacky waving fire starting mount gambier women, empire of dirt edits, the best subway combination ever, new dishonour tee ugzine exclusive preview, and the new war. there is heaps more junk in there too. remember, you need to be a member to view all of that!

coop has an interesting pictorial on focalpoint of the day it snowed... check it.

it's pretty rare for me to buy a cd. with utorrent, albumhunt, and mates cd collections... i guess it's pretty hard to motivate myself to purchase one. occasionally i will buy a cd if i really like an artist... ok i guess i'm a terrible person. well anyway, this situation forced me to go out and spend dollars on a cd... well... because... you can't find it online (or at least I couldn't), i think cause the band broke up.

well anyway, a dozen furies were a small-ish hardcore with slight metal influences (but not really in that metalcore bracket, i don't think) from dallas. they won the battle for ozfest, which from what i can gather was some form of a tv show where bands compete for a record contract, spot on the ozfest tour, and some cash. they won the competition, released the cd, did the tour and then broke up.

anyway, the album is pretty much awesome. i explained it to tony like this... "it's kind of like they went out, took influences from loads of different hardcore bands and then said 'lets take all the good bits out and do them tastefully'... they didnt overdo anything".

anyway, i'm stoked on it, and i'm stoked that it cost me like thirteen bucks with shipping off amazon. you might be able to find a few tracks off limewire, and they do have a bunch of tracks up on their myspace that are downloadable. if you're into this kind of music, i don't think its worth going past. let me know your thoughts in the comments.
