"foolish sucka"

this looks very good...

mooching the music... LITTLE COMETS

Myself and MOOCH love Little Comets...nice lads, bloody good band!

I first saw them at the Bridge in Newcastle last year after some mates were banging on about them, and thought they were great. Then, in the summer, they played at my brothers wedding in Durham castle, and were even better. Since then, they've apparantly been doing well! Radio 1 airtime, Huw Stephens sessions, a new single and a proper video (see below)!

I've been telling loads of people about them here in Canada, and apart from being impressed, they say they sound similar to Vampire Weekend. Thats probably a good thing innit. They do funny things too, like walking into university lectures and public transport around the UK playing their songs, uninvited! Check out their youtube page HERE for all that silliness.

They're currently on a UK tour at the moment and they've just released One Night in October as their debut single with Lucky Number Records... 2009 is looking promising!

Try and catch them at one of their upcoming gigs. (I just noticed aswell that their single is Number 3 on yesterdays BBC Radio 1 Indie Chart! Nice one)

Have a gander at their MYSPACE, FACEBOOK and WEBSITE

shoes.sneakers.trainers.wellies and all that

Adidas Originals x Jeremy Scott- another shoe from this collabo, this time for the ladies, available already at Collette (where you should be able to get most of the future releases, including the winged ones), click here. €120


Fred Perry x Raf Simons- another collabo between these 2. Not sure what i think about these. Coming out in spring 2009


ATO cow hide boots- never really heard of this brand, i think its Japanese. Anyway, these are cool for the summer. Available online here for about $300


Martin Margiela- theres a few really nice trainers from martin margiela's spring/summer line, for more, see here.
Jimmy Choo x Hunter- people here in Canada actually wear wellies a lot, for both practical (cos the snow is proper deep) and fashion (cos they look good, especially on girls) reasons i guess. so i've seen loads of Hunter's and Tretorn's this winter, however, I've seen none as cool as these. They'll be getting released in June, just in time for the festivals. They will only be sold online here, and will cost £250


Jamie Hayon x Camper- these are from last summer, but i recently saw them in New York. it looks like they're only available at Camper stores, and they go for about $250


Reebok 2009- looking at these, it looks like Reebok will be bringing out some nice stuff.



Louis Vuitton x Kanye West- first Pharell, now Kanye is working with LV. These are a preview of the mens sneaker, which were debuted at Paris fashion week, and they come in a range of colours. There will also be a Ladies line.

pool and tisch-tennis just got better...

First of all...thats a fully transparent, glass pool table! And because it is covered in some weird patented resin, it plays exactly like traditional felt. So the balls roll the same.

Watch a video about it here.

Its from Australian based Nottage Design, and it was actually a final year project on an industrial design course (I didnt see anything as good as this at uni!?). Its a cool $21,000! More info here.

Secondly...while I was looking at that pool table, I came across this reflective chrome table-tennis table. Made by Cumulus Design for an Rirkrit Tiravanija Exhibition in New York. On the opening night of the exhibition, famous ping-pong players were invited along to play a tournament on the table.

sharky tea infuser

I like this a lot!

Designed by an Argentian called Pablo Matteoda, who basically said he designed this to make the process of waiting for tea to brew a lot more exciting.

Its still a concept, but we hope it gets produced!!!

Cassette Wallets

Hand-made from cassette tapes, each is a one-off so they're pretty limited.

All the way from Italy, designed by Marcella Fosci, available here for $43
