THE.SPIRIT.OF.”76″

FEEL.THE.SPIRIT…

FEEL.THE.VIBE…


Here is an interesting show put together by Thurston Moore from Sonic Youth. It is a show that was put together in conjunction with Moore’s book of the same name. The book features photographs from an era where punk rock, new wave, and avant-garde art were all intersecting and influencing each other to spark one of the most memorable movements in art and music. Click here for views of the installation.

LADY.WESTWOOD.FOREVER.FLY….


TERRORIST, the new label from Barnzley {Special Needs & House 33} & Joe Corre {Agent Provacateur}, has opened a boutique this month on Great Eastern Street in London’s East End. The concept behind the line is inspired by Historic Terrorists … or Historical Characters who were considered ‘terrorists’ in their time such as Geronimo, Napoleon, Guy Fawkes etc … and London’s Dickensian characters of the 19th century. The shop, it’s contents, & it’s staff are a contemporary version of groundbreaking British creativity such as the SEX boutique, SEDITIONARIES, & World’s End were to London’s 1970s, 80s, & 90s. This should come as no surpirse as Terrorist is yet another company from Joe Corre, founder of AGENT PROVACATEUR, who re-invented kinky nightwear to international acclaim. Apparently A.P. does a brisk business in the Middle East as well as the Hollywood Celebrity jetset. The Co-Creator is Barnzley, who’s also behind Special Needs, House 33, & was a founded Zoltar The Magnificent . Barnzley has been at the forefront of every major youthquake since Punk in the late 70s. Vivienne Westwood was visiting the shop when I was shooting there. Westwood’s recently published manifesto ACTIVE RESISTANCE TO PROPAGANDA was an influence in Terrorist’s inception.

WHEN.CLASSIC.WAS.KING!!!

CLASSIC…YES!!!

RAD.STYLES!!!
New York’s Classickicks got together with Vans to collaborate on a series of models for this summer. They worked on the Era and on the Mid Skool ‘77. The Era comes in four different make-ups, each featuring a mix of colors on the panels. The Mid Skool ‘77 stay a little more simple and comes in red and blue, with canvas and suede on the upper.

Classickicks did not work with embroideries, prints or any of those techniques that we end up seeing all the time these days on mostly over the top designed shoes, that might look good on your shelf, but not on your foot. They only played with colors and panels and one can still see right away, that this is not a regular Vans shoe. Congrats on that.

Here you see the sneakers still in sample stage, but very soon we will be able to show you detailed images of the final production shoes.

GANG.GANG.DANCE.INNA.REMIX.STYLEE….

ggd_main.jpg


There was a time when it was rare to get a song with an actual chorus/verse structure out of Gang Gang Dance. And we loved them for it. We’re not sure if the original version of “House Jam” is as poppy as this, but if GGD or XXXchange remixing GGD want to go ahead and throw Cure guitar riffs and Timbaland synths into a song, we’re not going to try and stop them. Also, we are not going to stop them because “House Jam” is from the album that we wrote about in FADER 44, and that was forever ago (March 2007) and this album is still not out. Members of Gang Gang Dance, know this: we are waiting for this with a patience we pretty much only reserve for the next Outkast album.

NATTY.NATTY.


Fabric is one of London´s most legendary clubs - the soundsystem´s supposed to be one of the best in the world and the website has a red banner with rotating claims. One of them says “Kill the Hippies”. LDN, nuff watts and non-hippie. Sounds like a perfect fit. Sounds even more like one listening o number 14 of the Fabric´s podcast series.

This time, Don Letts is on the decks. In case you don´t know: He´s about

bass and the history and legacy of Jamaican culture which has actually become part of the fabric of contemporary pop music.

Nothing more to say than better listen to that mix (and, of course, read “Culture Clash“)
