La Blogotheque // Beach House

posted by matt

beach-house

I really just couldn’t resist posting this. While in Paris, Beach House and some fans holed up in an apartment. La Blogotheque was there to capture it, and the result is utterly breathtaking. It all looks and sounds so incredible, and hearing Victoria speak French, I love her more than I ever did before. Watch, listen, and enjoy.

N.Y.C. in the 70s

posted by matt

BeautyPageant1 copy

Over the last few decades, New York City has undergone a lot of change. Regardless of its implications, it’s always been a hub of burgeoning culture, so it’s always fascinating to take a peek into the past in order to be able to put the present into some perspective.

Here, Bruce Barone provides us that opportunity, capturing a wide variety of moments throughout the city during the 1970s. It’s not exactly photojournalism, but he’s done an excellent job of honestly conveying those natural moments.

Hollis Brown Thornton Q+A

1. Hi Hollis. Where do you live? What do you like about it?

I live in Aiken, SC, which is also where I grew up. I realized I physically need the climate in the South while living in Chicago. There is all kinds of plant and animal and bug activity during the warm and hot times of the year, just a general sense of vitality, that is motivating. But it is mainly the heat, being hot, sweating, spending 7 months out of the year wearing only shorts and flip flops. I’m just very productive in those conditions.

Unknown Pleasures

posted by jordan

All good things must come to an end. With a heavy heart we announce that Blood Is The New Black is stopping production on their classic Arab Division print. Brendan Donnelly is behind this tasteful re-up on Peter Saville’s timeless piece for Joy Division.

This shirt is an instant classic of the brand on one of my favorites to date, and soon, it will be gone forever. Blood is slanging the last of their stock NOW on their site for 15 bucks. You better get it while the getting is still good.

Vincent Alvarez for Lakai

posted by jordan

You know Lakai has their video game on lock down. Their latest masterpiece stars Vincent Alvarez which was originally slated as a short promo and quickly morphed into a mini-part of sorts.

Directed by none other than by Federico Vitetta and shot by Drew Lauer, this Lakai spot features some of the most impeccable skate footage you’ll ever see. Backed by an Atlas Sound track, you know Lakai did this up one up right. Are you just playing around with your new DSLR and shooting video? Pay attention, because this is how you shoot.

HoboFM x Say Mayday Party @ Cheetah’s

COCKTEASE_say-mayday

As this was such an enormous success last month, we’ve decided to bring the party back to Cheetah’s, the classiest strip joint in L.A. Come this Thursday, March 04, expecting the same things: cheap drinks, erotic dancing, and good music. In addition, we’ve decided to tack Ancient Crux onto the bill, which is, well, perhaps the first time a band has ever set up and played on a stripper stage. It will be interesting, and many a surprise await. Make sure to RSVP here. See you there!

Cheetah’s Hollywood
4600 Hollywood Blvd.
9pm — 2am
