Thanks, MASH SF
Literally a week ago I ordered this bad ass little bike MP3/speaker from MASH SF and it’s already in my hands. This mother is like 4” long and an inch wide, it’s completely waterproof, shock-resistant, solid aluminum body, and is LOUD AS FUCK. I can’t wait to be blasting some summer jams riding around the city. It’s also much safer than headphones.

Ali in the Jungle
By now, everyone and their mother has seen the latest inspiring commercial by Nike. With their sequence of failures and successes, the video brings the reality of becoming a champion athlete. Accompanied with an amazingly motivational song by The Hours, the video makes me wanna challenge the limits of my own abilites and just give a big “Fuck you” to barriers.

SONG OF THE DAY
Local Natives, first of all, is a sweet ass name for a band, and as a plus, they sound good. The five man band out of Los Angeles kind of reminds me of a faster paced Fleet Foxes. They still have those neo-folk roots and harmonizing in them, just with a touch of the city boy groove that comes with living in Hollywood.
Local Natives - Wide Eyes

Supreme Sping/Summer 2010
Damn, as much as I want to be over Supreme, I feel like it’s almost impossible. They are still one of those brands that I was wearing 6 years ago and will still wear today. Their Spring/Summer 2010 line is making me question the recession with the sheer amount of product they are pushing out. Everything from towels to old school decks, a large selection of pants and of course, tops and...
