Ebay Motors

Wednesday, 24. February 2010

I had no idea but it is so obvious it hurts. I have been in the market for a classic American Muscle car for years and after much deliberation I have come to the conclusion that the 1971 Plymouth Barracuda is the one for me. Why? Well it is not ...

Sub Pop Logo Sweat

Wednesday, 24. February 2010

Remember that great record label that brought you all the hits in your youth that you either got laid to or wanted to kill yourself over? I sure do, Sub Pop were just about the best thing to happen to rock music in the late 80s and throughout my teenage ...

Song of the Day

Wednesday, 24. February 2010

Second day and a second song of the day. I must say I am impressed with myself, especially because I found something new to myself. I guess I am mellowing with age and letting my inner music nazi die a slow death. The Black Belles are a new signing to ...

Down- Diary of a Mad Band

Tuesday, 23. February 2010

Down, literally one of the best Heavy Metal bands in the past twenty years has just inked a deal with E1 Music for the release of the long-awaited rockumentary "Diary of a Mad Band". Tentatively due this spring, the set will feature footage of DOWN members "tearing up Europe" — literally and figuratively ...

Hori Smoku: Sailor Jerry

Tuesday, 23. February 2010

There is much more to Sailor Jerry than branded Rum. His influence on tattooing is well documented and his innovation in color of prime importance. Hori Smoku: Sailor Jerry is a great introduction to the man and to tattoo history. Written and directed by Erich Weiss, the film is paced ...

LVC 1920′s Henley

Tuesday, 23. February 2010

It's an odd thing about Henley's and Germany, they must be without the shadow of a doubt one of the hardest pieces of clothing to sell, retail as well as wholesale, yet, in my book, they are one of the key essentials in a man's wardrobe, and quite frankly, hardly ...

Albam Canvas Woven Belt

Tuesday, 23. February 2010

Another solid nice piece from Alabam, a canvas woven belt with an antiqued solid brass buckle and contrast leather trim. Fits most sizes, which is nice, and made in Italy. Nice all around piece and not much more to say about that. Available here.

Bedwin N-1 Jacket

Tuesday, 23. February 2010

Yet again I have to post about another great Bedwin jacket. If anyone was on doubt at this labels superiority in design, finesse and production it should have been laid to rest by now. According to the details, this is a N-1 Asylum type Jacket, whatever that means, to me ...

Comme des Garcons Play Tee

Tuesday, 23. February 2010

If you are still surprised to not find the newest of the newest gear at a a tradeshow here, well, sorry to disappoint yet again. This Comme des Garcon tee shirt is neither new nor exeptionally limited, however, if this is not one of the best reasons to buy any ...

Nigel Cabourn Organic Cotton Shirt

Tuesday, 23. February 2010

Here comes a great looking classic by Nigel Cabourn, an off-white organic cotton shirt. It is 100% organic and comes with raw seams. One pocket simple design, the fabric shouts quality, very soft to touch and will be extremely comfortable and long wearing. Short button down collar. Available here.

Broken Social Scene – World Sick

Tuesday, 23. February 2010

It is sometimes beyond me how the Broken Social Scene can put out on blissfully, completely amazing and soul satisfying album after another without ever burning out. Seriously, when word spread about their new album "Forgiveness Rock Record" I genuinely got excited and after hearing this new song, "World Sick" ...

ForceTwelve

Tuesday, 23. February 2010

ForceTwelve is an, for a lack of a better word, graphic design agency run by Adam Gibson. Frankly, I think this goes beyond anything that is deemed graphic design these days but maybe it is just that. I would officially like to hand over my imaginary excellency in design award ...

Song of the Day

Tuesday, 23. February 2010

This might just be start of a new column but I am not sure I can provide something new and interesting on a daily basis without delving too deep into the musical cabinet here at the HQ. I'll try and focus on something new rather than old. So without much ...

Baracuta Melrose Chino

Tuesday, 23. February 2010

Who would have known that classic jacket makers, Baracuta - best known for their G9 - could also make such good looking Chinos. I said it last week and I am sure I am going to be banging on about this for a while longer, but I am seriously feeling ...
