Always loved this one
Itās like heās grinding some artillery.
Havenāt read any of this yet, but you know itāll be good
that was great.
jerry with the comedown at the end mind.
Wow that was really good. Especially about getting rid of fear and neuroplasticity and whatnot
How great and healthy does Karl Watson look?!
Fantastic little piece. Recently fell into the āIām going to get trick x nextā trap then not committing. Iāll shut now lol
Randomly, I just listened to this interview with Tom Bilyeu the other day also with Andrew Huberman. Definitely worth your time.
Havenāt had time to listen to this yet but I imagine that it will be interesting.
Alvin Singfield, formerly of Faze 7 during the glory days when Burlo et al distroād World, etnies etc etc.
Alvin was TM/marketing guy and was instrumental in establishing Panic & Blueprint.
Meant to listen to that too, will put it on tomorrow at work. Matās a good dude, should be interesting
I got sent this last weekā¦Listened for a while and then skipped forward to gauge where his head was at, and his memory was all over the place on the era I knew him best.
I decided to leave it there at that point.
Nonetheless, he was in an important position at a very crucial time (very early 90s) so this is valuable cultural shit.
I can only imagine how much a certain person will be fuming about it too.
Lol.
I always got on well with Alvin.
Yeah, I always got on with Alvin.
Itās not like there was anything to make anyone look bad in the parts I heard - but it wasnāt exactly right as others might remember it.
ā¦and that other personā¦I meanā¦his memory aināt too hot, either, right? ha ha.
Iāll give that a listen. I met Alvin back in the 80ās when he was on holiday for a week or so in Dorset. At the time he claimed his name was Fred and told many a ātall taleā like how he worked in Slam, (he had a stack of Slam stickers to back it up) and how his mum kicked the Gonz out of his house for eating too much toast or something, haha. He also rode a different set up everyday for the first few days. He was a laugh though and spent more time eating - memorably chicken and chips everyday - than skating. I had the feeling he thought he was pulling the wool over the parochial localsā eyes. Just to let you know Alvin, you werenāt
I donāt even care if this is actual truth or not. Iām going with it.
Epic.
That was the actual claim, for sure. There were loads of others that have faded over time but that one stuck with me. Itās a classic, eh?
For me, its the truth. Gold.
Yeah, the only thing I ever hear about him is that he has delusions of grandeur and tells the biggest whoppers ever. Literally cannot stop bullshitting.
