Need a place to crash in NYC?
The new 20-story SVA dorm (that Curbed correctly notes looks like a maximum security prison) has been unveiled as it looks for temporary residents to move in before the students take over in August. How much would you pay to live at 101 Ludlow, which comes with a communal bathroom, a twin bed, and lots of amenities (free electric, internet, cable, laundryand security)? $1,600 a month?...

More cleavage!
So I guess Wonderbra wasn’t making any money so they decided to take a shot at swimwear. I can only guess how good these look. Great advertising though and their newly designed site is pretty snazzzzy. Not that we check their site daily or anything.

Get to know your locals
If you live in Virginia and don’t give a shit about skateboarding then you’re probably a pretty lame individual. But at least you should know, that little skateshop in Carytown, Dominion, has been around since 1994 and is keeping that hot fire in Richmond. And on a side note, I was lucky enough to ride down to Raleigh with the team this past weekend and watch our hometown heros beat...

Indestructable paper?!?!?
Not Quite, but it is…..’Siwa’ for Onao

The first of these is the “SIWA・紙和”...

Song of the Day
Like the Clash, we here at The Blaaahg are known to dabble heavily in the delicious dub tempos of the 70’s rastas, including Lee “Scratch” Perry, King Tubby, Augustus Pablo, and the Upsetters to name a few. So here we serve a re-translated omage to the engineers and innovators of the time. Jah Love! Enjoy!

Supreme Spring 2009
Supreme fails to disappoint. Their very large Spring 2009 collection has matured a bit with simple designs, clean collars, good colors, a strong set of shorts, and it looks like cammo is finally back. We see a mixture of mechanic and military here. You can see the flashy graphic-heavy hipster disintegrating into time. Not sure what to think about the gold and silver decks, but worth showing.

While linking from the Tarentino post, to my delight, I found some Ghostbusters 3 trailors. Unfortunately they were just some videos made by nerds that pray every night it may happen.( i feel for ya) THough, it DID make me realize how good the soundtracks to the first two movies are, and kinda giving me a skip in my recovering sickly step. So, with that said…enjoy!

Design Addict is exactly what you think it is, a place for those of us who line up the silverwear at dinner, see right angles and geometry everywhere, and can’t help but fix the kerning on Helvetica when working on something. Well not only do they provide great content when it comes to design and art, but they also have a feature called Design Radar. That’s right, sounds nice...

The Blaaahg brought you Animal Collective’s “My Girls” about two weeks before the album ever dropped. Merriweather Post Pavilion has already been called “…quite possibly one of the best albums of the year” by NPR. And yes, the album is amazing. And then came Alien Workshop’s Mind Field video which included two songs of their new album, including “My...
