They actually call themselves a Workshop Community, a collaboration between master fabricators, expert bicycle painters, photographers, wood, leather, fabric and metal workers, all closely working to bring the intelligent, edgy, sexiness of...

BEAST: Mark Evans
Mark Evans does some amazing shit. He takes large sheets of leather and etches out high contrast images on them with knives, picks, and random tools. It’s really kind of insane the detail he gets. But.. I think he’s probably kinda cocky and has bad taste in clothes. See for yourself…

Song of the Day
In conjunction with the newly released video for 11th Dimension, which sports a sprinkle of my simple pleasure(ie lazers, 80s clothing, keytars), we decided to make it song of the day. I gotta admit I’ve been sleepin on this album, considering it came out in October and this is the first song I heard, but I have a feeling there are some silent bangers on there. Preview / Buy that shit...

Pendleton X Opening Ceremony
In 1863, traveling down the Atlantic seaboard, crossing the Isthmus of Panama on a burro, and sailing up the Pacific coast was a grueling four-month passage. Yet for Thomas Kay, a young English weaver, it was a dream come true. An old hand at sea voyages, he had already crossed the Atlantic years earlier to work at east coast textile mills. With skills honed, he was now headed to an area...

You think your cold?
The Hunters of Greenland by Ragnar Axelsson shows us world of the Inuit people under the northern lights. It’s kinda like when you first walk into Narnia, but colder and you have to go hunting to get those fancy jackets…brrr…

Song of the Day
Phantogram is a duo out of Saratoga Springs, New York. Although the probably live in the woods, I’m guessing that’s what makes this amazing, steady and head bobbing friendly sound they produce. Phantogram is Josh Carter and Sarah Barthel, their North American EP is available now. Thanks Doddie!

Not a Bad Approach...
Yakkay, a Danish based company, has taken a very unique approach to helmet design. Take a well made carbon fiber shell and simply ad a well designed cover to it. This evening, should I wear my houndstooth or seersucker?

Save Print
Do this: take some of that Christmas money that you just got, go out to a news stand, pick out three magazines that you’ve always wanted to subscribe to, and fucking subscribe to them. Then, enjoy flipping through each page, glossy or matte, smell the ink, look at the detail in each page, look at the richness of the photography, and actually read the articles. There just so happens to be...

Dogs can be a burden, and cats make everything they touch itch, but the slow loris looks like they just want to chill and get tickled. Look at his little smirk! Classic. I shall name him Edmond. Too bad they’re endangered….

Christmas is the breast... i mean best!
Currently watching the classic National Lampoon’s Vacation, and loving it for the millionth time. Chevy Chase couldn’t be any more perfect for that dad role. Aside from that though there’s also the ever so lovely Nicolette Scorsese. Yes that’s right, the smokin hot employee at the mall that just knows exactly what you need for Christmas. Ugh. Don’t remember?...

NYE in NYC
Talk about last minute, with Christmas here and still no plans, there was some masterplanning to be done, and thats what JC and Othelo did. Countdown the new year with the crew of local tastemakers. NO waiting in line for a drink, NO dress code, and NO Jersey Shore folk splashing their gel in your whiskey. Just straight up good people, good music, and good times.
