New Fashion / Evisu: Spring/Summer 2010
November 17, 2009 | New Fashion | by Chris Nolan |
Most people would frown when the word Evisu comes out of someone’s mouth. Having built a brand in Japan on the back of quality production, Evisu in recent years has been pretty far off the mark. With over embellishments and the the excessive printing of their distinctive logo — the Kamone (seagull) — pretty much everywhere and anywhere on the jeans. Things are about to change down in Evisu world with the recent appointment of proven world class denim designer Scott Morrison and his loyal fellow denim head crew. Read more

New Fashion / Silvery space suits take me to the moon
November 13, 2009 | New Fashion | by Zolton |
Ok, so I’m thinking of leaving the blogosphere and becoming an astronaut. That’s right, a space explorer, going where no sane man has dared to tread, equipped only with a biro pen, a copy of some random Marxist literature, and my space suit. Ah, yes, my space suit. Bulked up and all silvery, I’ll make quite an impression on our alien friends. Damn those things look cool. Read more

New Fashion / Kate Powers
October 26, 2009 | New Fashion | by Gerry Mak |
Designer Kate Powers’ work is the epitome of timelessness, looking at once contemporary and vintage. Her pieces are vaguely turn-of-the-century, vaguely Victorian, but with more relaxed lines and less restrictiveness and some rather compelling asymmetry. Read more

October 21, 2009 | New Fashion | by The Uncool Hunter |
Two person underwear is one of the truly great gag gifts and is likely the only one that the bachelorette will try to use. Pair people up and see who can get them on first without using their hands. But make sure you and your party guests have had a few drinks first. The packaging of Fundies hasn’t changed in at least twenty years. Half the fun is getting in them, the other half is up to you.

Autumn Whitehurst is one of my favourite illustrators. The Brooklyn-based artist’s work is clean yet sensual; the characters flawless but full of imperfection.

The3some seeks collaborations with like-minded people and together, they strive to bust boredom. As you are reading this, the relentless battle continues.
Sparks’ album Kimono My House is a demented mix of hard rock, pop, glam, new wave, and baroque pop. Why this record never caught on in the States I’ll never know. The songs will get stuck in your head and prevent you from sleeping. Oh yeah, and the keyboard player has a nice mustache too, as evidenced by this track above — This Town Ain’t Big Enough.
I caught Chicago’s Ga’an the other night at the Empty Bottle, and they blew me away. I’d never heard of these guys, but they make driving, gothic prog sounds like satanic Krautrock with guitar, bass, keyboards, drums, and the night I saw them, a female vocalist. There is no distinct frontman, but for me, drummer Seth Sher’s intense and precise playing was the highlight of the show.
WE'RE RESPECTING
WE'RE POSTING / SOME OF THE BEST
I live the upbeat, feel good tempo of the new single — A Hundred Hearts — from Philly group, The Swimmers. Off their latest album, People Are Soft, this song is a strangely fitting anthem for the blustery day outside.
Forget battery powered vehicles. Cars made from ice are the future of transportation: no pollution, no honking horns, no painful rap music blasting out of souped up stereos. And if they melt, they melt. You just swim the rest of the way down the slipstream.
Wheeeeee! This game is so freaking fun! You move your cursor over each dot to make them split into four smaller dots ad infinitum.
