Leo Romero on Toy Machine
Leo Romero is now on Toy Machine. Leo was on Baker, but Toy Machine may be a better fit for him. After this addition, Toy Machine’s team is SOLID: Billy Marks, Diego Bucchieri, Nick Trapasso, Matt Bennett, Josh Harmony, Ed Templeton, Johnny Layton, Austin Stephens, and now Leo Romero. I think it was a good move.
Antwaun Dixon and Jereme Rogers Open a Tattoo Shop!!!
Two of skateboarding’s biggest names, Antwuan Dixon and Jereme Rogers, have teamed up to announce their plan to open the doors of a prolific tattoo shop on LA’s Sunset Strip. As you know, the heavily inked pair of skateheads are devout fans of tattoos, its culture and individual artistic expression, and its permanence on one’s life so this business opportunity makes sense. Backed by another, yet undisclosed financial investor, and a trio of skilled ink slingers, Jereme and Antwan are gearing up for a launch party with Pink, Lil Wayne, and a host of celebrities and friends in their shop early next month.

The Strokes Are Back In Action!
For the first time in ages, the Strokes are back in New York, hard at work on album number four in their midtown studio. "We have three songs," Julian Casablancas tells the S.S., three weeks into the sessions. "I would say it's going great. We have a lot of work to do, though."
It's been more than three years since First Impressions of Earth, and what's helping the process is good vibes and honesty. "It feels like we're new," says Casablancas. "We didn't used to be honest — there would always be minifeuds over stupid shit. Now, if Nick [Valensi] and Fab [Moretti] or anyone are saying they like it fast or slow, we'll talk about it, as opposed to saying, 'Well, I never liked you sister.'"
Casablancas says that they've resisted jamming on old tunes; instead they're forging ahead. "Some of the new stuff has a Seventies vibe, like Thin Lizzy or Elvis Costello," he says. "But then some of it is bizarre music from the future that we're trying to tone down to sound catchy. So we're trapped between the future and the Seventies.
