Step Your Fade Game Up
Mike over at Hecklewood came across this blasted out joints while calling out Sufu with these old 66LVCs. There are something serious. I think they are more like art than something I’d want to wear. Put them up in a custom wood frame by Matt Jensen and we’re talking.
America Votes 2008
The Republican convention is going on right now and the Democrats wrapped theirs up last week. November’s election is sure to be a doozler just like this poster. Typeface the 20’s and 30’s was amazing was it not? The “Tag-team Shaved Head Match” looks like a beauty. Thank you to whoever made this.
p.s. Sure he’s a better candidate than Geriatric Johnny but can we please get a moratorium on Barack Obama t-shirts.

Vegas Re-Cap from my office
Well, we missed out on the Las Vegas festivities this year. Quite upset, but we had to keep it moving from the homeland. I’d say the best highlights were Michael from ACL’s photos of random guys, Supernatural’s freestyle and finding out that sweat bands, bucket hats, and batting gloves are still cool in hip hop.

What Happened to That Boy?
From the last video to this one. Clipse, Baby, and Neptunes put together probably one of my favorite jams to date. Ehhgckkkkk. Brush that blood off ya Tims. From my life, it reminds me more of when my jam falls off my toast and hits my Redwings. Both annoying, ya heard!

Take a gander at this photo. It’s insane. Crazy photo, even crazier gap.

Next Level Sh*t
I came across this fall look book by Kts for the upcoming season. I didn’t want to put up on the Dailys as news because I didn’t want somebody mistake me for liking it. Because I don’t. It’s probably the worst thing I’ve ever seen. Unless I get a job as M.I.A’s hypeman there is no time I would ever think of putting this stuff on. I hope that goes for every other male out there too. So is it art? Or is it really terrible, or maybe even terrible art? My vote is on the latter. I think the designer has watched Alice in Wonderland a few too many time, on drugs. Look at the rest…
What is American Style?
Thom Brown, John Varvatos, Michael Bastian. This is from last year, but it’s really good. Watch it if you want to, if you don’t, don’t worry about it.
Gnarls Barkley ‘Whose going to save my soul?’
This video is amazing. I love the song, the characters, the idea, the execution. I caught it over at Jake Davis’ blog and have watched it a couple times now. Now you watch it. While you’re there, check out the Lykki Li videos as well because they are pretty cool.
Yikes!
You know that Beatles lyric, “all the lonely people, where do they all come from?” Well, apparently Canada. I was just checking out Alexa’s website traffic rankings and took this shocking little screenshot. The top 100 websites in Canada. You see it? The 27th most popular site in Canada. There, just behind Amazon.com but ahead of CNN.com. Pretty crazy.
Anti-terrorism
As the Beijing Games draw closer, the tension is never far from our evening news; in China and around the world. Demonstration haven’t gone unseen, but with images like these of the fighting forces within their country, I think all the athletes can drink their protein shakes in safety knowing that they are protected by a group of highly convicted people.
Reel Style: Hypebeast TV
This is dope, I like the style they shot the video, and it’s funny to hear people’s thoughts on their own style. Convertibles n’ shit.
Tailor in Style: Harsh or Hilarious?
I came across this website a few months back and did a random check up on it last night. The site is about shirts, tailored shirts, how to wear them, and apparently how not to. The blogger rips into an Indian man who hasn’t been up on his blogs lately I guess. The writer gets into three different ways that make your shirt look bad. 1) Don’t use your pockets as storage 2) Avoid physical work 3) Don’t have too many stains on your shirt. I would say most of these are obvious, if your not working on the plains of Africa. The article is harsh in that it’s making fun of this poor fellow who probably only owns one shirt, but at the same time is hilarious. It’s hard to say the authors intentions, but it is worth a read.
Hipsters in Space
CurrentTv killed it with this one, Hipsters in Space. This video is about a group of hipsters lead by Captain Art school and their quest for the coolest most untapped scene, space. The whole thing is so hilariously on point especially the excessive blogging and the robot with the “sniffles”. This wouldn’t have been complete without a Steve Aoki appearance, solidifying him as hipster of the year. I cant decide what is better this or the Hipster Olympics, you be the judge.
