MUMFORD AND SONS/EELS

There are a few things that tend to get me really quick and Mumford & Sons possess quite a few in the highest of quality: breath taking harmonies, British accents, a stand up bass player and banjos. I came upon the new video for White Blank Page over at the superb Song By Toad and was excited to see they are finally releasing a full album. Sigh No More comes out on today and they will be doing a few shows in the States in the next few months.


Eels released an album, El Hombre, earlier this year that was front man Mark Oliver Everett's take on love in all its forms. True to their straightforward style the album is a very honest depiction of what, good and bad, love can bring. When this video was released I felt it was most appropriate. And, despite the fact that I am not the biggest Lakshmi fan I still feel compelled to share.

BEDWIN FALL '09

Bedwin & The Heartbreakers are one of our favorite brands of late. Their aesthetic speaks to the changing times and just works on so many levels. It’s classic without being boring, progressive without going to far. In their words, “paramount quality”. You get it. We’re into it. And yes this has been seen before, but let’s revisit it for emphasis. A favorite cold-weather style in an offbeat, yet strangely attractive hue. It also comes in beautiful black and grey versions, but let’s be honest – where else are going to find a yellow coat like this?

ZEPHYR



"Walrus TV brings you an interview with art pioneer Andrew Witten, also-known-as graffiti legend, Zephyr. Pulled from the Dithers series (for the first time available to the public for free), Zephyr talks about his early days as a train painter in New York, and his time spent with some of graff history’s most-notable and influential artists.
During the early 80s, it was Zephyr who was part of the first wave of graffiti artists who made the transition into the galleries in the East Village. Alongside fellow artists Futura 2000 and Dondi White, Zephyr helped take graffiti to the next level; pulling it out of the streets and putting it into the galleries, their phenomenal work gained the praise and respect of graffiti heads, collectors, and art critics alike."

BIKING COMMUNITY TOOL
























"Contrail created by Studio Gelardi, is a tool that attaches to your bike’s seat tube and leaves a colorful chalk line behind you as you ride. The goal is to encourage a new cycle of biking participation by allowing the biking community to leave a unique mark on the road and to reclaim this crucial shared space. It lets bikers take same route, and aslo reminds fellow cyclists where it’s safe to ride if more bicyclists using the Contrail. The Contrail was a finalist in Design 21’s Pedal To The Medal competition and is not in yet in production."
