This week: the generation-spanning power of art, why we decided to make our company co-owned, an emotional DJ set to remember, and your questions for Chris Burkard.
Also, your last comment about art reminded me of this quote by Basquiat - “Art is how we decorate space, music is how we decorate time”. I really feel that. Loving these weekly notes!
The Decathlon thing is interesting. Especially considering as it’s a mass market brand. I do wonder if this will force the hand of the legacy surf suppliers to change their wetsuits, especially as this change will make Yulex cheaper and more broadly available to Joe Bloggs.
I feel like Broadcast birthed St Vincent, Cate LeBon and Catatonia. Jeez, so good.
Trish is one of our great unheralded geniuses. I miss her ❤️
No doubt.
The soft vocal and shuffly twinkly percussion really gives me Smile by the Beach Boys vibes too.
Some corkers here, I love the rise and rise of Decathlon: they’ve got a great woman in charge, clearly leading the charge for better!
Really interested by these latest attempts to establish a series for Snowboarding and Freeski, there’s always been a few key areas overlooked.
yep Decathlon are showing really leadership

Wasn’t familiar, love that quote
Bangin 👊

From what I understand, this idea that Yulex costs the brands more has been completely overplayed.
