Stone Love Inna the Building and on Radio151

Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

The time has come to celebrate the influence and spirit of Tuff Gong. Bob gave gifts to us throughout his life, and Frank151 is proud to be given the honor of capturing but a piece of that wealth, with the Tuff Gong Chapter. The book is about to be unleashed on the streets, and with that momentous occasion upon us, Frank found it only right to signify it with music. The Immortal Stone Love Movement has given us their own gift, a gift of music. We’re proud to announce the Frank151 Chapter 30 Mixtape mixed by the Immortal Stone Love Sound. Look for dubplates on this from Jr. Gong, Movado, Sean Paul and more. Check the Radio player (to your left) for the exclusive peek, and Subscribe to Frank, cause that’s the only way you’re getting the whole thing…

Steve Rocco, the founder of Big Brother magazine, World Industries, Plan B, and Blind has a film examining his legacy.

“He was skateboarding’s most revolutionary figure. They were one of the most genius creative collectives of all time. Together they challenged every convention, declared war on the establishment, celebrated every taboo and broke all the rules. Steve Rocco, with a little help from his friends - Rodney Mullen, Marc McKee, Mark Gonzales, Jason Lee, Natas Kaupas, Jeff Tremaine and Spike Jonze - created a cultural revolution that changed the face of skateboarding forever.”

New York City Councilman Freak Out

Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

New York City Councilman James Oddo freaked out with an expletive laced rant, when a Norweigan film crew tried to pull a Borat-style prank on him, instructing the film crew to “get the fuck out of my office.” We really need more politicians who bring this level of passion to their job. One could only imagine what would happen if they interviewed President Bush.
