Skateboard Songs

Sorry no post yesterday, I had a minor crisis. Ryan posted a new Grandaddy song, "Skateboarding Saves Me Twice," which provoked a regression into my formative parking-lot-loitering, Thrasher-subscribing self. I threw a fit, wouldn't listen to anything on my iPod because I would never have recognized it at 15, it had no associations and it wasn't important.

Since then I've calmed down and found a few favorites from the skate video days. Make sure you grab "Skateboarding Saves Me Twice" as well.

From Transworld's Modus Operandi:

Spiritualized - Ladies and Gentlemen, We are Floating in Space [buy]

From Real's Real to Reel:

Modest Mouse - Never Ending Math Equation [buy]

And I swear this one's from a video, but now I'm second-guessing:

Superchunk - Tiny Bombs [buy]

Skateboard Music has archived skate video soundtracks.
