American Flannel…our super engineer/Jon Brion is the mind (and money) behind this site so check it out daily, its a good read.

The Return of FNF Radio

3sixteen is a clothing company based out of NY and LA. They run an ill blog in the same vein of The Hundreds and The Brooklyn Circus, in that they document the lifestyle and struggle of an up and coming clothing brand in an overcrowded genre. I just started reading it last night, but they are at Magic Las Vegas so I’m sure they’ll have solid coverage of parties, other clothes, and the entire convention as a whole.

DownloadThe Fader from iTunes…that catchdubs mix is solid people.

Boris is stepping up for the Frenchies and thats all good, lets just have that All Star season for the Suns. Is Diaw a slower, less defensive minded Scottie Pippen?

As if you didn’t already know (or lost your internet conection for the past week)….Don’t Believe the Hypebeast has been on a tear. All of the “streetwear community” has been in an uproar - some hate it, some don’t. My opinion is don’t take yourself or your brand and/or movement that seriously to let this piss you off.

Union x J Dilla….I NEED the white and yellow shirts. Good to see people are still concerned w/helping J Dillas cause. (via HighSnobiety

The real estate market in Arizona continues to be weak therefore it is time to get my mind (and money) right. A few guys I know are all in their mid to late 20s and have OWNED houses since college. Why am I in DC again?

So D.C. is supposed to have anywhere from 3-6 lifestyle/skate/streetwear shops open this fall. MAJOR is gonna be located in Georgetown and is supposed to have the super ill account (possible the D.C. version of Undefeated?) that is going to burn the credit cards of D.C.s (or VAs and MDs) finest up real quick. Between this spot and Commonwealth, D.C. is going to be crackn this fall/winter.

Clipse Freestyling w/Re-Up Gang and Skillz:

I saw Ricky Bobby this weekend and it was hella funny. It also seems to be profitable and popular, racking up 47million and taking #1 for the weekend.
Did anyone else see the trailer for Borat? Oh my goodness that was hilarious.

Mishka x Black Bart x Garfield….I likes.
