White stitches can be spotted around the N as well. Other detailing include an embroidered New Balance logo print on it's tongue, it's gold insole, the lace lock, the red beads on it's lace, and an embroidered red logo on it's back. It's pretty limited though. Buy it at Overkill.

Ben Gibbard Announced Just Jazzin

Death Cab For Cutie's lead singer Ben Gibbard proudly presents his new musical project called Just Jazzin'. It's not something close to what he is doing with DCFC or Postal Service, Gibbard used this new project to express and explore his interest in discovering music free from rules and convention.

"There's this side of me and my music that desires a lack of structure and Just Jazzin' does that for me because I am allowed to just play whatever note comes into my head," says Gibbard.

Please visit his MySpace to get a piece of his new invention.

Stars Like Fleas - The Ken Burns Effect

Brooklyn-based experimental rock band Stars Like Fleas will release their third album The Ken Burns Effect on June 3 under Hometapes.

"Stars Like Fleas may truly represent a new branch on America’s phylogenetic musical tree, distinguishing themselves through an unlikely alchemy where anxiety and confrontation accompany something candid, joyous and unashamedly romantic. In already-mythic, transformational performances, Stars Like Fleas create music of its own haunted species; as accessible and humane as it is unsettling and extreme." - Force Field PR

Fronted by multi-instrumentalist Shannon Fields and vocalist Montgomery Knott, SLF contain members and contributers from other bands like TV On The Radio, The Fiery Furnaces, Beirut, Tall Firs, Mercury Rev, Celebration and The Silent League.

I Was Only Dancing is one of the 10 tracks featured in this album. A cosy-folkish song to listen to when you're in need of 5-precious minutes of relaxation with something ear-soothing that won't screw up your mind even worsen. Great rhythms. Catchy tunes.

You can sample their music at their MySpace.

Consists of a denim-wrapped Zippo lighter, an Acejet helmet, a stuffed-bear, a denim tote bag, a denim shoulder bag, a camo messenger bag and a denim messenger bag. All looking fantastic.
