Man oh man, how did a thing of beauty like this never even make it outside? $1,426. It’s all totally cherry: the wheels have never touched cement. How does $3,249 grab you?Īnd from the same period comes this NOS Sims Lonnie Toft 10” model, complete with Tracker ex-tracks and Sims Comp II wheels. The seller says that it’s a “grail of the highest order”, and I guess he’s not lying. No real dings thanks to the nose and tail guard, which are long since gone. It’s signed on the tail, and the graphics are perfect. More than that, it is right from Stacy Peralta’s personal stash: he rode this board. Before they released any pro boards Powell just released team boards, and this is one, complete with Trackers and green mini cubics. Hey, no Sims Dave Andrecht this month! Instead let’s start with a huge bang! It’s a Powell Peralta Britelite from the late 70s. It’s a rapidly changing playing field, and the details are amazing. Bands are marketed differently now, and the live performance as a revenue-generating tool is more important than ever because bands can’t rely on percentage of CD sales or big advances anymore. A lot of the smaller independents are, and they are doing well. The majors still don’t get how the internet has changed the purchasing of music, and they are still not board with selling digitally. The way music is sold has changed dramatically in the last 2 years, and to hear about the struggles of the major labels because they couldn’t adapt is fascinating. However most of the time they interview people in the music industry, managers, publicists etc, and that reveals a side of the music industry that you never see, and one that is really interesting, especially now. Sometimes they interview bands, and depending on the band that can be interesting or pathetic. However, the podcasts that they put out once a month are exceptional. I certainly don’t read Alternative Press magazine: I find it annoying and superficial.
I’m not sure if they are all over the U.S., but if you have one near you, check out the food and drink aisles. World Market has started carrying my favorite English jam, so that is great for me. This month’s Baywatch is fueled by Duerr’s Bramble Seedless Jam, and podcasts form Alternative Press magazine. I guess the weak dollar is good for something. Australia is super hot or collecting right now: there’s lots of great decks going that way, and some great collections being put together. Lots of stuff went for over a thousand, which is my barometer. Nothing went super high, but prices weren’t low either.
