Electrelane Recent North American Tour Pics

Brighton, UK’s Electrelane have some pretty tasty photos on their blog from their recent North American Tour . For some reason I always thought these girls were French or Canadian. Their album The Power Out from 2004 still gets regular spins on my Ipod, but the new release No Shouts, No Calls may soon trump the previous. The Sabbath-blazer “Between the Wolf and the Dog” is tha bomb! Where’s Darediablo these days?

Skateboarding is Not a Crime

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EH6AYVn2yw4[/youtube]

On my recent post for Go Skateboarding Day, I said that the “skateboarding is not a crime” days are nearly over. Well, apparently that’s not the case in Smalltown USA. Check out this disturbing video of an out of control cop using excessive force on four teenagers. It’s almost too much to watch as he manhandles one of the girls in a choke hold for doing nothing. After half-a-million views on youtube and public outcry, the local police department has put the cop on suspended leave (with pay).

I guess I’ve been jaded by the NYC cops who never give a rats ass since they have bigger fish to fry. It’s always the security officers with nothing better to do that lose their cool, like this homeland security cop in San Francisco.
