Name: Matt Biolos on why the high-performance board is the most elevated form of the shaper's craft! by BeachGrit

Description: The noted surfboard designer and owner of Lost Surfboards, Matt "Mayhem" Biolos on why making high-performance boards is the "hardest thing in the surf industry." Anyone can make "beautiful, colourful, sassy" boards, say Biolos, but very few can shape at a level capable of satisfying the world's best surfers.

This just inspired me to shape my own board! Sounds like a fun art project.

Track 1 from a CD of Roky Erickson covers released in 2000

Stand For The Fire Demon

Penetration track released on limited 7" vinyl in 2008

The Feeling

33 Transmissions Of Slack

Song from the debut e.p. available at http://doctorabernathy.bandcamp.com .  Four Australian dollars for 5 songs - come get me! 
I wrote this a couple of days before one of the first doctor abernathy shows, which happened to be at a little place called the record crate, in Sydney, back in June.  It had a longer introduction  as a prelude to the song and the rest of the set.  The song is ultimately an acknowledgement and pre-observance of the show in and of itself.  It is self-referential in that sense.  It is an expression of gratitude to those that support me in my art, and of gratitude for my own persistence to persevere.  Grateful!  It includes a beat that builds, some synth-ey sounds, and the vox.  xoxoxo
