Great video of one of my favourite teenage songs. Can't even image how many times I've been listening to this song. Teenage Riot was the first single from Sonic Youth's album Daydream Nation (1988).
"We are off the streets now and back on the road on the riot trail.."
I've never had the chance to meet my grandfather Claudio Majorana but in the past few years I've been lucky enough to find most of the pictures he took in life and part of the postcards he sent to his family.
I found this postcard in one of my family album. During 1957 my grandfather was travelling across the United States along with a delegation of Sicilian politicians. At the time my father was only six years old and this is the postcard he received from his father.
It says: " Kisses from your dad and... no fear! "
The postcard was sent (with love) from Knoxville, Tennessee of February 26th 1957.
Go Skateboarding Day 2015 was great, I was in Milan where Emerica organized the Wild in the Streets. It was fun to cruise around the city with my friends from Chef Family, one of the best skate crew I know. Always bringing great vibes to Italian skateboarding. Take a look!

End of the day
During my last trip to Milan I spent some time with my friends from FNG Magazine and Chef Family. Here's a picture I took of the t-shirt that recently came out from their collaboration.
Today they just reissued the tee and you can find it HERE.
More of my pictures of the Chef Family coming up tomorrow on the blog!

Thanks for your inspiring words Ed. This is all I need to listen today.
"I think the one piece of advice I wish had received - or that I had listened to - is start taking risks as soon as you can. Because really, that's where the good and great stuff comes out of life."
