MALOOF MONEY CUP AND EA SKATE 3 GIVEAWAY!
Now entering its third year with an expansion to New York City, the 2010 Maloof Money Cup has been dubbed the ?world?s greatest skateboarding event.? The event was created by Joe and Gavin Maloof, whose family is known for their sports and entertainment ventures from the Palms Resort & Casino in Las Vegas to the Sacramento Kings NBA franchise and more. With a mission to work closely with the skaters and the industry to create a new type of contest, the Maloof Money Cup has featured the most diverse group of skaters ever assembled to compete on one-of-a-kind courses designed by the skaters themselves. The result is a platform for some of the most progressive skateboarding ever seen.
Taking place June 5-6 at Flushing Meadows Park in Queens, the Maloofs have forged an agreement to donate the world-class skate park they will build for the Volcom Pro Street competition to the City of New York through the NYC Parks and Recreation Department?s ?Adopt-A-Park? program. The donation of the skate park is made possible by the substantial contributions of Vans and Monster Energy.

April 30, 2009 -- New York's KRISTEENYOUNG has always wanted to squash the "nice" and "safe" connotation that comes with piano-based music and stomp on it. With the release of the new album Music for Strippers, Hookers, and the Odd On-Looker planned for later this year, she just might get her wish. "I wanted to create a new sound for piano on this album, and for it to be just as powerful and creative as any guitar-based record," says KRISTEENYOUNG's
not-so-coincidentally named frontwoman, Kristeen Young. "I wanted it to
sound like a wall of pianos, but like the wall in the film, Caligula: a wall
that moves and decapitates everyone." The decapitating wall that is
KRISTEENYOUNG will be moving across the country this Spring in anticipation
to the duo's sixth studio album.
KRISTEENYOUNG gears up for a national tour, which kicks off tonight in
Southgate, MI (tour dates below), after being out on the road over the last
two years on high-profile tours with Ted Leo and the Pharmacists (who plays
percussion on the new record) and Morrissey (who is not only a fan, but also
once signed her to his Attack! label).
Joined by bandmate/drummer "Baby" Jef White and with crisp and full
in-your-face production from the venerable Tony Visconti (David Bowie, T.
Rex, Morrissey), Music for Strippers... is a mighty big nail in the coffin
of "respectable" piano music. Matching the drama and emotion from her
viscerally heart-gripping lyrics, the songs of this album celebrate the
highs and the lows of the ofttimes unsettling stories that she unfolds. "For
the first time in my life, someone was very giving and loving toward me in a
very obvious and public way," she explains. "It softened my heart a bit. And
then, when things went the other way, it destroyed me. I'm better and
stronger now. But, during the year it took me to recover, I made this record
and it represents the arc of that time. Alot of the songs are about the
audience, too, as we were on tour, solidly, for about two years." Among the
many surprises on the upcoming album is a duet with Fall Out Boy's Patrick
Vaughan Stump. "I love Fall Out Boy," she attests. "They have such
heartbreaking melodies. 'Sugar, We're Going Down' is one of the best rock
songs ever written. Patrick's voice is flexible, full of emotion, and has
that indescribable tone or quality that just moves you. I think our voices
caress and smack each other in all the right ways."
Music for Strippers, Hookers, and the Odd On-Looker will be released later
this year.
