The design is a simple and chic white tortoise shell that fits the 10CC aesthetic quite perfectly...

If you are in Seoul, be sure to stop by 10 Corso Como to check these, because unfortunately that is the only place that they will be releasing.

The latest is actually a pretty cool, albeit simple, alarm clock called <a target=_blank href="http://www.uniqlo.com/wakeup/en/pc/">UNIQLO Wake-Up</a>.

<br>
<br>
Wake-Up plays some peaceful music and a very pleasant female voice tells you the time and weather in an awkwardly melodic way. It worked fine for me this morning, but if you're a heavy sleeper you might want to set your extremely annoying and brash iPhone alarm as a backup.
<br>
<br>
Available for iPhone, Android, and PC/MAC, you can <a target=_blank href="http://www.uniqlo.com/wakeup/en/pc/">find it here</a> or in your app stores.

And since I'm posting it, needless to say, I fucks with it heavy!...

I hate labeling things, but these grimy, underground, low budget projects coming out lately are KILLING it. Definitely fuck with the Flatbush Zombies
<br/>
<br/>
No project from the Zombies as of yet but the fact that Eric Arc Elliot is producing for them gives me high hopes for something dope. I'll definitely be keeping you posted on here.

And due to the nature of the show I was excited to be able to see the more wild side of NYFW street style...

My intuition is telling me that this could end really really bad. I'm just picturing camo sweaters with red hearts or ABCamo heart tees, and it's all making me shudder. But hey, let's be optimistic and hope for the best, because you know that no matter what it looks like, we'll be seeing it all over the place soon.

Definitely one of my favorite tracks off of H&C, and the video perfectly keeps the vibe of the album and artwork that's already been established... aka dark, grimy and full of drugs and alcohol.
<br>
I'm not sure if this new niche of hip hop will be the new wave or maintain it's underground gritty appeal, but either way it's fun to watch and it seems like some new sounds and styles are finally entering hip hop. Exciting times; always interesting and inspiring to see an entire sub-genre become established, especially one that feels very DIY.

<br>

<br>
<br>
<br>
Maybe it resonated with me a little extra for having lived that life, but they captured that working class/ blue collar life in Japan pretty damn well. The people who you might never notice but keep everyday life in order, from the man controlling the subway platform, to the dude in the tiny stand still chef-ing up something for you at 1am. So if the point of this video was intended to strike those chords, it definitely worked.

Not sure why this place just wan't inspiring me today, I think I was in the classical art mood... but none the less, these pieces definitely caught my eye and my mind. There was also plenty of Matisse, Van Gogh, Seurat that always blows my mind up close but that deserves to be seen in person, no camera can truly capture those.
<br>
<br>
Do yourself a favor and hit up a museum or gallery this week, we all could use more art in our lives.
<br>
<br>
<br>
Respect, love, and art.

The suede on these is rather sexy, and for a more bulky winter shoe they are DAMN comfortable! Also comes in a deep navy which is super clean as well. Being a TZ release there are only a handful of places to grab these around the globe, some of which being 21 Mercer in NYC, Bodega in Boston, and UNDFTD in LA.
