And write a little rhyme for you

I'm feeling like this today...

I'm not at all up to date on what the skateboarding scene is all about these days. I know the Jackass guys skate. Big fan. And any jargon I have picked up in my years mostly came from playing Skate or Die. I really haven't seen that many kids on skateboards in Stockholm. There is a small skatepark on Södermalm that I have walked by a few times and seen some kids but nothing really that stood out. So as far as a Swedish skateboarding scene is considered I am really not seeing any. There's gotta be people doing it. Where are they?

Well, I guess this will all change. In 2010 Europe's biggest skatepark will be in my backyard. Literally in my little section of Stockholm called Högdalen. Here's an artist's rendering of what's to come...


Today's paper boasted the following features:
+ 5 pools (4 big and 1 small)
+ Ramps for downhill racing, freestyle, street and slalom.
+ A long ditch (inspired by Los Angeles' drainage ditches)
+ Street plaza: a street/park environment with rails, plateaus and stairs.
+ Moguls (?) This one may have gotten lost in the translation (Puckelpistaktiga flowytor)

Anyways, I'm buying a skateboard.

Planning, plotting. I've decided for my next release to pick and choose a bunch of songs from my podcast offerings as well as some other stuff and collect it into a monsterous collection. I'm guessing around 40 songs. We'll see what makes sense. All songs will be mastered (hardly anything was mastered in the podcasts). I guess this will come out before the summer. Cool?

For the time being, here's the Mathlete 7" for free. This was previously available as a podcast but I got a bunch of requests to make the files available as separate tracks. So here they are. Enjoy.
