Besides “that one lame David Bowie song,” Gino Iannucci has always been very much hands-on when it comes to picking a tune for a new video part. From Wu Tang to Guns ‘n’Roses, or from ‘93 ’til infinity if you’re more ’90s music-inclined, he dissects five of  his tracks on A Visual Sound.

This issue we were blessed to have Cody Hudson contribute typography. I’ve always been a great fan of the work he does. Check out this VIDEO and colormagazine.ca for more info.

Staple’s fifth issue has been on the skate shop counters around Australia for the past month or two, but now we have it online for some proper global interweb perusal.

My good friend and long time skateboarder Teddy Powell otherwise known as Teddy Becks has been making beats for a long time now. Recently working with some hip hop greats, he decided to release this to the public. Click here for the free download. And if you are ever blessed with the chance to see Mr. Becks perform live DO NOT miss it. He’s like the skateboarding Richard Pryor of rap music. Swear.

As it’s been pretty known by now,  Lucas Puig is often regarded as the world’s finest sommelier when it comes to the refined, delicate and melomanistic art form known as “French Gangsta Hip Hop.” If ever further proof was needed, he shares some of his favorite tunes in that particularly painful-to-the-unprepared-ear genre on A Visual Sound

This Friday, April 2nd is the opening party for a new art show featuring the work of Gareth Stehr. Behold The Black Light will be somewhat of an antiexhibit backed by the zounds of Green & Wood and others. Regardless of your affinity for stoner doom rock, you’ll want to attend.

It’s been almost twenty years since Adventures In Cheese, Blockhed’s second flick, came out and sort of blew people’s minds thanks also to its unique, and retro, and weird, soundtrack. What added to the mystique of it was that there was no info available about it to be found anywhere. The kind of thing that bugs me to the utmost level. So I ended up getting Dave Bergthold and Ron Cameron to do my homework and dig up all the tunes they did put on it –all coming from old records found at thrifts shops. The result of the treasure hunt to be read at A Visual Sound.

While skateboarding is so all over the place it’s kinda gross, good skateploitation music videos haven’t come by the dozen since Sonic Youth’s 100%, or Suicidal Tendencies’ Possessed to Skate. It took a minute but a new milestone was jut delivered, it seems : Gil-Scott Heron’s Me and The Devil, featuring an army of night warriors chasing GSE’s doomed soul through NYC on skateboards. Its director, Michael Sterling Eaton, discusses how it came about on A Visual Sound.
