James Davies – Live and unsigned

Posted in General skateboarding with tags , , , , on March 14, 2012 by Jim O

We all know James Davies as that kid who wears sunglasses and has braces and rips the plaza as in the footage below:

But these days James Davies is also a syrup voiced crooner and he will be singing beautiful melodies in The Coal Exchange on Sunday because he’s in the Live and Unsigned regional finals.

He had a shot at it last year, but the judges said:

James Davies – Good cover and good vocal tone, but really needs to work on an image! Vocal occasionally wavered in places, so could build strength slightly, but overall very good

CSC called Simon Cowell to ask him for any advice he had for James:

“James, you’ve got real potential and if you work really hard you could be the next Matt Cardle. However, by ignoring your image, you’re ignoring the audience who put you there. So it has got to change.

I spoke to Sinitta and we both agree that you need to pull your trousers up to your neck, slip on a black turtle neck, and give yourself a nailbrush buzz-cut. Either that or wear a CSC tee.”

Did you hear that James? CSC tee = Win.

Click the pic below to see James singing with ‘The Broadcasts’ in a Boneless Kid video production. Oh yeah, and head to The Coal Exchange on Sunday if you wanna support him!

Gluebag

Gluebag clothing do it the way it should be done…beyond amateur and into territory so flaky and unprofessional it becomes an art. Gluebag is Kane and Tariq’s steaming ablution and their tees are available from the Gluebag online store as well as from City Surf.

They just launched a website of sorts so head on over there to check it out and buy a tee!

…still haven’t got internet in my new house, still waiting for my new baby, still not got time to update CSC, still not loving police

BUT

I am loving this. Barca trip report from the Southport, Liverpool, Leeds, Cardiff blog that namechecks three of the greatest cities in the UK…and Southport. Ok to be fair I have never been to Southport so it’s probably aaaaaaaaaaawwwwesome but who knows.

Get down there and spend some money.

Want to get your hands on tees from Cardiff’s most famous art guy?

Godmachine, designer of the OG CSC tees and all-round tidy fella, has just dropped a massive stash of tees at Inter-Aid on Crwys Road to make up for stock lost in a recent break-in.

Get down there now to pick up quality metal tinged apparel for peanuts…and give to charity at the same time!

City Surf’s new store is OPEN!

Posted in General skateboarding with tags , , , , on November 5, 2011 by Jim O

They’re now relocated to 17 High Street Arcade.

There’s wall art by Phil and Nat from Santa Cruz. There’s new stock. There’s huge windows. And it’s right next door to The New York Deli!

Can’t wait to see the City Surf shop vid that’s in production and features all the riders from the updated team which I THINK means Josh Underwood, Nick Jones, Steve King, Josh Perett and Sharpy. Could be wrong…

Get down there and say hello!
