The Gaslamp Killer - Breakthrough

I bought this Gaslamp Killer's album Breakthrough LP two months ago and I kinda just put it away without even giving it a listen. Its not bad.

Wet Store JP - AKIRA Bomber

After scrolling through a slew of animal related videos that my girlfriend tagged me in on facebook. I ran across this amazing preview shot from Wet Store JP. An eye popping red MA-1 flight bomber jacket with Wet Store's current logo on the back. Hot damn! I'm patiently waiting for this shit to drop. 

For the past year, Wet Store JP really seemed to be pulling inspiration from the anime Akira like a mother fucker, and its not really a bad thing. Some independent clothing brands will simply pull elements from a certain medium. Copy and past this, copy and past that. And subsequently, their collections give off a very sophomoric and unoriginal vibe that most people ignore like a starving vagrant. But Wet Store JP on the other hand, they are creating a narrative for they'er cloths. Expanding on an element from Akria, and creating a motif around it. Or something...

KNXWLEDGE - HEXUAL SEALINGS PRT.8 (cassette)

So Knxwledge's 8th installment to Hexual Sealings is on cassette now at Stones Throw's online store. Buy one! It's the same as buying 30 red plumbs, in the winter when their out of season. Yeah! I'm not even trying to be clever. I literally bought 10 dollars worth of plums two days ago. So, there you go.

It still hadn't hit me that Knxwldge was sign to Stones Throw until recently when I saw that Mndsgn was signed too. I only really knew of him through youtube and bandcamp, but its just really great to see that things are moving forward for him. The same with Mndsgn. It's very inspiring. But buy the damn cassette though.

Bootleg: Neca Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtal Figure

I've been up on my Scrooge Mcduck lately. Saving every penny for when my girlfriend and I move out at the end of spring. I want to be financially set on rent and utilities months in advance, soooo I haven't really been balling like I use to. No more faberge eggs, golden chalices and burberry key chains. Now its just $0.89 tissue paper and Kroger brand parmesan cheese. But about two months ago, I felt the urge to buy some shit. So I did. I went on AliExpress with the intention of buying a "Master Stars Piece" 10 inch Vegeta PVC figure. Which I did mind you, but with the added inclusion of 13 other items.

Now, AliExpress is a site known for a it's knock-off items. So when I saw an figure titled: "NECA TMNT Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Classic Collection Michelangelo Action Figure 5'' New In Box." I knew that shit was a goddamn bootleg off the rip, but I'm cool with that. It's not like I'm buying an obviously fake SUPREME X THE NORTH FACE jacket for around 60 bucks. No one should pay more than $20 for anything inauthentic. But this Michelangelo figure was kinda dope and only17.99, so I'm technically not a chump. Just $2.01 shy of that.

After about a month of waiting, I finally got my figure and I was surprised. Surprised by a horrible fucken stench coming from the box. It's a fine looking product. But damn! I had to let it air out for most of the day. Any who, here's a review of the same figure:

Manwolfs - 24K Solid Gold Hand

These cats at Manwolfs have been trying to sell this damn thing for a minute. A fuckin 24K solid gold hand! I don't really know when they posted this thing on there store, but every few months, I check to see if somebody bought it. Valued at $162,000.00, I'm sweating just thinking about the chump who buys it. And the description:

"One of a kind this hand was the result of mystical chanting and dance. Sliced was the womb of a small child. Freed from his misery was he when the mighty leader reached into the childs innards and released the precious metal."

It's even personally delivered to you by their leader! Now I want to buy it!

Rare Panther

Long lost are the days of my youth. With my "government" job constantly reminding me of the woes of adult hood. Like sand stuck underneath my Dr Scholls insoles. I can't get rid of it. I can't shake that shit loose, and its hindering from being creative. So for the past month, I've been trying to get inspired. Absorbing from my surroundings and other creatives. That being said, Rare Panther is a clothing company I've fancied for a while now. Their clothes don't really fit my motif or style but they always have a very sold collection. Following a very faithful color scheme, all while giving a nod to the Black Panther Party. Their not changing the game in terms of bring anything new to street wear, but you can just feel to potential in their shit. Like, I have to keep a look out for them.

BADBADNOTGOOD - Since You Asked Kindly

Cheap Monday - Mars (sunglasses)

Look at these tan sun glasses from Cheap Monday. Just look at them. Now, tell me where I can find cheap chinese knock off. They'll run you about £25 / $40, which isn't too bad. But with glasses like these, I know I'll only have one outfit to wear them with. Damn...

Julia Kostreva - Marble White iPhone Case

I bought an iPhone 5 three or four weeks ago. I was planning to get the iPhone 6, but it was sold out at the time. So I went with the next best thing, and then I throw it on my bed and didn't activate it until now. The body of the 5 looks so much better than the 6. It's just so timeless and well balanced design wis. I'm not even saying that to make myself feel better about not getting the 6 (maybe a little). Plus, the cases they have out now are some va va voom! Especially this Marble case by Julia Kostreva. Its just so alluring. I might need to buy it a sandwich. Damn!

Madvillainy (Cassette)

Stones Throw decided to release a re-recording of Madvillainy on cassettes (again) for only 10 bucks. Thats like buying chinese food and some Mad Dog 20/20.

You just can't beat the low grade audio quality you get from a cassette.
