When you see someone skating with blue and purple hair with a checkerboard patterned jacket, this is the type of mix you’d expect them to make.
Lizzie filled this mix with light and airy production, Mac DeMarco-esque guitar rhythms, and, as the kids would say, “vibes.” There is also a wide variety of generations on this mix with ABBA and Blondie representing the 70s, Depeche Mode jacking the 80s, and La Femme and Digitalism bringing us to the present.
I recommend you grab your speaker and head to your local bowl to play this mix at full volume. You’re bound to piss off the local dads reliving their glory days listening exclusively to Black Flag and Bad Religion.

Right?? They’re like exactly the same as NOFX, another shitty fake punk band!

Black Flag was rad.
But only with Dez Cadena or Henry Rollins when he was crazy.
Mike Vallely is a gatekeeping cool guy.

I feel like I’ve learned to navigate the ebbs and flows of skateboarding. It’s so different. Traveling can be exhausting and skating itself is super physical, so you have to find what works for you. There’s some people that can go all the time and never stop. And there’s other people who aren’t as busy.
