October 11

“White Noise” is back. SNOWBOARDER’s long-running music column has returned to life on the world wide web. Each week you’ll be able to get inside the mind of one of today’s top pros as to just what music they’re listening to, as well as what they aren’t listening to. To kick things off, we couldn’t think of anyone better to tap into their tunes than Jed Anderson. So here’s what’s good in Jed’s world of music, and keep checking back each week for many more to come.
