An Impulse: Julius AW10 Denim Bending Pants

Dave — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 21:33:54 +0000

Traded my AW10 cowl neck coat for these after recently noticing I wear grey far too often to not have a pair of grey pants. The distressing and zippers are sick as fuck.

Top Five Regrets of the Dying:

I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
I wish I hadn’t worked so hard.
I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.
I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
I wish that I had let myself be happier.

Iris – After School Special

Dave — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 22:28:00 +0000

Here’s one of those little nineties gems that just barely exists. Seriously, try looking for it–this 1996 album has almost no web presence at all, which is sort of remarkable considering the popularity of Adam Pierce’s other endeavors. Since I’ve fallen in love with what seems to be Iris’ only other recorded effort in the form of a split with Swirlies, I searched far and wide for a download of this release and found literally nothing. SO, I went ahead and snatched it for three bucks off Amazon, and now I’ve uploaded it here. (FIRST!)

Erik Madigan Heck for Ann Demeulemeester x the Corner

“It’s beautiful how a human being brings a garment to life. The inexplicable mystery and contrast of a man and a woman and how they intrigue. My aim has always been to incorporate authentic feelings in my work. Erik Madigan Heck’s short movie is a beautiful expression of this.”

Simply stunning.

Thee Michelle Gun Elephant – Boogie

This one brings back memories of a better time. “You call them rose-colored days if what you call today is grey.”

An Impulse: Julius AW10 Waxed Knit Bending Pants

Currently waiting in agony to receive these in a trade for an _7 SS10 cotton double zip fencing and an MA FW09 ribbed cotton tank.

Bloodthirsty Butchers – No Future

I distinctly remember welling up a bit when I saw this performance for the first time–the raw intensity behind Yoshimura’s voice is truly earth-shattering… Upon finally seeing the Kocorono documentary, I was deeply moved by what Ken Taniguchi (of fOUL) had to say about Yoshimura’s now-wife Hisako Tabuchi joining the band:

“Surprisingly, [Yoshimura]‘s not confident about playing and singing at the same time. I think he feels like he’s inadequate, lacking somehow. And with his melodies, there are certain parts that require his complete attention. But nobody can play guitar like him. And rather than ask another man, he chose someone he loved. He met and fell in love with a girl, and felt that she would be able to express what was in his soul.”
