[evenslow]

He's come out and said before that it is AY-ment.

yes this has been the settled truth for years.

what fucks it up is ed always intros him in concert as jeff ah-MENT, i'm sure as an in-joke.

And Ed used to pronounce it correctly, such as the Atlanta '94 show.

I’ve never skateboarded, really, a day in my life but still enjoyed this very much. Jeff is awesome.

Listened while biking over to Husky Stadium.

This is such a great listen!

Im loving the A New Angle podcast. Interesting to hear Jeff´s comments on why Brendan wasnt involved with the album.

Yeah, another good listen.

And sounds like it'll pave the way for no more BOB going forward too.

Listening to the PMA podcast. Jeff is so fucking cool, so articulate. The way he chooses to do, to get involved, to bring different crafts together...he is just awesome.

Super influential guy. And his favorite skater back in the day was Tony, so fuck yeah.

[Anders]

I hadn’t heard about his favorite skaters before (although I’ve probably only heard about Tony Hawk). But I am very impressed with the work he does in Montana.

Sorry i was talking about Tony Alva, whom i love. Jeff is a huge fan of that era of course, but it was so cool to hear that.

[VinylGuy]

Jeff has a new song!! With the drummer of Fitz and the tantrumz. Its a rocker, and it kick ass of course.

[ghost]

[Anders]

Interesting seeing Jeff like that. It fits him.

[VinylGuy]

amazing.

That guy is suuuuch a good influence.

So, after watching this and the Kokua videos, I want to know how musicians are keeping time with each other. My son's Scouting Troop does the Pledge and Scout Law every meeting, and it sounds like a ridiculous hot mess.

[Hypnos]

Is he lipsynching?

For Kokua I'm 99% sure it wasn't live. JJ talked about it being a "build" and insinuated that they had put it together earlier. Additionally, JJ wasn't wearing headphones and Ed was, making it seem like JJ sent Ed the track to play along with. Finally, JJ had a 4-person one and like a dozen-person one following the Ed duet, and there's no way that could have been remotely done right unless it was a non-live round-robin build.

I think thats his live take.

I'm in awe of their tech prowess.

It certainly sets a standard that I hope PJ tries out
