Odd Jobs: NOFX’s Erik ‘Smelly’ Sandin Shapes Surfboards as Pickle Stix
When it comes to veteran punk rockers with non-musical gigs they’re passionate about, Erik “Smelly” Sandin has a resume longer than most. From motocross to boxing, the NOFX drummer has often found secondary careers to keep him busy when he isn’t on tour. But when COVID-19 forced the band into a lengthy break for the first time in nearly 40 years, Sandin turned another one of his hobbies into another new business. Sandin had been shaping surfboards out of his Long Beach, California garage for family and friends for years, but he decided to make it into a full-time job (when not touring) during the pandemic. Appropriately named Pickle Stix, Sandin’s custom-shaped surfboards are made to order and designed for each individual customer. SPIN spoke with the NOFX drummer and entrepreneur about hi...

Stay tuned.” The singer has cemented himself as an all-time R&B king, launching some of his biggest hits in the...

Denzel Curry Blows Fallon Away Performing “Walkin” on The Tonight Show: Watch
Denzel Curry’s rendition of “Walkin” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon was so energetic he had the host dancing in his seat and the audience cheering long before he’d finished, leaving Fallon to join him at the end and confirm: You won’t see a performance like this every day. Curry began by introducing the Cold Blooded Soul band, which had also accompanied him during his recent captivating appearance on the NPR Tiny Desk. That prelude was the last time the 27-year-old MC stood still. With every word his hands punctuated the air, even as he danced and charged back and forth across the stage. At one point he brought the performance over to Fallon’s desk, where the enraptured host was smiling and bopping in his seat like a kid who’d snuck into the front row after the op...
