John Lennon

Builders are currently working on John Lennons old pad, and have dug up an old bottle, well a leather poach containing several bottles, but only one still in tact. It is believed that this bottle was used to contain liquid LSD which Lennon and the beatles were mad about during this period?(64-68)! CRAZY SHIT!!!

ACDC


Ha...i couldnt sleep last night, so i watched a shot about guitar heros, and acdc were tearing essex a new *hole! It reminded me of all the rumors of amazing gigs that have happened at the uni in our village! We grew up riding and partying at this very spot, and the rail pictured exits the venue...this has been bum slid by many a drunken!!! I have heard about so many bif names playin here before my time...The Damned, The Ramones etc...it makes me laugh to think about it, and wish i was born a whole lot earlier!!!

CRAZY FRENCH DUDES!!!

Not everyone can say their french distro boss, does this in his spare time hahaha...

Easter-no eggs



Right first things first, its been mental busy at the Savakas camp, and all the new stock is running maybe a week later than aspected, so hopefully pictures up, and all orders by early next week!...I beg ya pardon!!!

Diggin is well underway at some trails i first dug way before puperty, but judging by the term "May i see your id" being heard 698702 times week...i wonder if puberty is still to come!

So next week we got all the t shirt designs, hoodies and sweaters, the plaid shirts etc will follow closely like a well trained stalker!

Max Bimar, whos i hasent to add, had imppecable music taste...sent some radical pics over...get in!

Three things of importance:


As a material device, the vajra is a short metal weapon that has the symbolic nature of a diamond (it can cut any substance but not be cut itself) and that of the thunderbolt (irresistible force). The vajra is believed to represent firmness of spirit and spiritual power.




Husker Du means "Do You Remember" in Norwegian...This has become the most important term to me in recent times...it is also the name of an extremely good band!!!


Lastly...The Color Green...The word green is closely related to the Old English verb growan, “to grow”.



What ya beef!!!

"Whats your beef" was a video i was making a long long time ago, we clocked soooo much footy, but the scene kind of dispersed and many of us took a break from riding bikes to pasture new!!!
Its a shame because the footage may never see the light of day...but as a conciliation, Dave the derelict king, found a copy of our old video "it''ll All Come Out In The Wash" and posted on it vimeo. Seriously good memories...
