Most skateboarding movies feature a load of rad clips of gnarly dudes popping flip tricks down 20-sets set to a seemingly arbitrary collection of cool songs. For their latest vid Extremely Sorry skate pioneers Flip have decided to buck the trend and create a bespoke set of songs to
go with it. Rowley and co. have amassed an impressive collection of artists including Lemmy, Dave Lombardo and Snoop Dogg which does make forsome interesting songs. Highlights include a cover of Stand By Me with Lemmy on vocals and Swagger Rich, a rock-come-rap track featuring the D-O-double-G and Warren G. The album suffers in parts from producer Baron treading into unfamiliar areas, making for some filler, but what it looses here it makes up for in creating a much more cohesive collection of music to than the usual collection of somewhat disjointed tracks.
You can pick up Flip - Extremely Sorry and Soundtrack now from all good skate stores (buy local kids), whet your appetite here.
Tori Amos - Midwinter Graces Sampler
Billed as he first 'seasonal album' Midwinter Graces contains reworked Christmas carols along with original music, A Silent Night With You and Star of Wonder feature on this sampler. Backing is provided by Orchestra and Bag Band, harking back to Amos's more classically inspired work of the mid-nineties. Pleasantly left of centre, Midwinter Graces offers a nice easy listen that should appeal to most musical palettes.
Midwinter Graces is available now from record shops across the land!
