Bon Iver - Forever Emma, Forever Ago

For Emma, Forever Ago is the debut album by Bon Iver, a moniker by Justin Vernon after breaking up with his long time band, DeYarmond Edison.

He had moved into the woods of Wisconsin during winter for a period of time and developed a nine-track album, getting inspirations from his personal trouble, lack of perspective, heartache, longing, love, loss and guilt that had been stock piled over the past six years. Read his complete biography here.

The album is set to release on February 19, 2008 under Jagjaguwar. Skinny Love is made available as a free download here.

Black Mountain - In The Future

Indie psychedelic rockers Black Mountain is back with their upcoming second album, In The Future, expected to be released on January 22, 2008. Their song Stay Free was featured in the Spiderman 3 sountrack.

It resonates with the same epic ring, beloved deep rock touchstones, and genuine folk fragility that made their self-titled debut an instant classic. "In The Future" possesses immense breadth, seamlessly showcasing short and classic folk-pop gems along with driving modern rock masterpieces, peaking with "Bright Lights", a 17-minute multi-dimensional opus that gives Pink Floyd's "Echoes" a run for its money. -insound

Levi's x Air Jordan 1

Air Jordan and Levi's teamed up on a slick collaboration to release a pack that are estimated to release on March 2008, that will consists a pair of Levi's denim and a pair of Air Jordan 1, the one we're featuring now. A shoe with Levi's accent on colors and tags, the shoe has crack prints on it too. Of course the pair will not miss out Jordan's trademark touches on the sneak like the jumpman and logos and stuffs. Here you are. More info available at shkuze.jp.

Although I strongly feel that the crack print spoils the whole look, it's still one hell of an item to be added to your collectibles list.
