Freddie Stevenson - All My Strange Companions

Scottish folk singer/songwriter Freddie Stevenson has an upcoming full release on schedule to release sometime in April 2008.

"Musically, All My Strange Companions soars. Its sound spans the intricate weaving acoustic guitar and languished lap steel guitar in The Soft Collapse through to the vicious punk stylings of Ordinary Girl and to the out-and-out catchiness of first single of Easy Now. These are the sounds of four great musicians truly playing live; capturing the raw energy that can only come from honest real performance." - Fanatic

Check him out performing Easy Now.

a faulty chromosome is an indie shoegaze band from Texas. as an ex-anorexic's six sicks exit is the band's debut full length release which was self-released on February 19.

"a faulty chromosome is a slopbucket of shoegaze tremolo, hand-claps, 8-bit blips, water-damaged mister rogers records, mashed casio chords and drum machine’d beats--all bundled up in a warmish childhood memory of hiding beneath the kitchen table in 1986 with their uncle’s overweight cocker spaniel..." - Fanatic

If you like the sounds of Sebadoh, Belle & Sebastian, Yo La Tengo, Pavement, New Order or My Bloody Valentine, you might wanna give it a try.



Bape x Nintendo DS Lite

Has DS Lite turned into a fashion gadget? We talked about the collaboration between Nintendo with Fragment Design and honeyee.com just a day ago. Now we see another collaboration with Bape! Two versions will be produced, the white and gold. I'm feeling the Mario, but the whole collaboration, what's behind it? Guess it's just another follow-the-trend system. Via HS.

Futura Laboratories - Dripping BD Shirt

Futura Laboratories released a nice flannel shirt design, Dripping BD Shirts. It features paint dripping styles on the garment, intending to make it look accidental. One nice piece to hunt for. Comes in three different colorways, all with different patterns of drippings. Retails at ¥16,590 and is available at FL Shop.




Puma Unlimited High

Puma recently presented this new sneaker Unlimited High. Comes in two colorways, both packed with crocodile skins. Not really a piece for me, but to hip hoppers out on the streets thugging, this might be a lil' something for you instead. Via Sneaker Freaker.

Initially the company was started because there isn't any good trucks at that time, therefore, the co-founders has decided to make their own, known as Stage 1. From then onwards, Indy got their own clothing, bags and a wide range of accessories line.

2008 marks Indy's 30th anniversary, and in conjunction with that, they made a special line of products including t-shirts and accessories to commemorate this cheerful celebration.
