JEAN PAUL GAULTIER 'HOW TO DO THAT'

Yes, JPG had a very successful career long before he put cone-shaped boobies on Madonna! He even dabbled in the house music for a hot second.

MELAAZ 'NON NON NON' vs DAWN PENN 'NO NO NO'

Dawn Penn originally released 'You Don't Love Me...No No No' (circa '67), an old school, Rocksteady jam with Studio One. During the early-mid 90's Acid Jazz ruled the scene. In '94-'95, Dawn re-releases '...No No No'. At just about the same exact moment, Melaaz also flipped the same single...nailing it with this amazing french cover of Dawn Penn's (circa '67) Studio One original.

MALCOLM McLAREN X DIOR HOMME COLLAB

After fleecing the Sex Pistols, ex-band manager, Malcolm McLaren spent the better part of the 80's and 90's with several relatively successful breakdance inspired chart hits (Buffalo Gals, Double Dutch, Do Ya like Scratching?, Madam Butterfly). Fast forward a quarter century or so and Malcolm teams up with Supreme & Vans. Today, he's gotten his hooks into another sweet collab with fashion heavies Dior Homme.
Malcolm X Dior Homme drop a mad-limited (60 units) graphic print t-shirt. The t-shirt will be on sale in a pop-up shop at the Part 1 Parco store in Shibuya, Tokyo for 3-days ONLY.

X: ADAM MICHAELS & GLEN CUMMINGS

I made another trip to Golden Age tonight (my new fave indie shop in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood) to grab myself a copy of 'X'. The shop is floor to ceiling 'zines, music, artwork and more.

The Golden Age staff? They're mad-cool! Not like those record shop pricks, in neighborhood near you, with their "yeah man, I used to dig German-Prog-Rock, that was before it got popular, man!"

A quote lifted from somewhere else in internet-land "This publication is an initial attempt to examine the trajectory of the X symbol in underground music culture. While the X is broadly associated with the punk scene—in particular, straight edge hardcore—the symbol contains a wide range of often-contradictory meanings. This document presents our ongoing research; we welcome comments, corrections, and criticism"

JEFF KOONS & RxART: CHICAGOs ADVOCATE HOPE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL

RxART has one very ambitious goal, to bring contemporary art to hospitals and other health care facilities across the US. Their plans are to install several pieces by Jeff Koons in the CAT Scan room of Advocate Hope Children's Hospital in Oak Lawn, Illinois. The works are slated to be installed on every wall of the room and include a large painting of four smiling monkeys on the pediatric CAT Scan machine itself. Koons’ installation is RxArt’s most ambitious project to date.

Loosely quoting Diane Brown, RxART's Founder & Executive Director “The fact that the Advocate Hope Children’s Hospital project is centered on Koons’ transformation of the CT Scan machine is especially significant to the origins of RxArt. The initial idea for RxArt came to me when I was undergoing a CT scan and found that the only way to distract myself from the frightening procedure was to imagine an artwork (a Matthew Ritchie painting) going up the wall and across the ceiling. By entering into this artist’s complex imagery, I was mentally transported out of the sterile environment of the hospital.”

REVOK GETS SNATCHED BY AUSSIE COPS

"on my way to the airport... can't get on that plane fast enough!!!11:19 PM Oct 27th" those were the last words that REVOK Tweeted 10/27, on his way to airport in Melbourne, Australia.
The coppers down-under had been watching REVOKs Tweets, hardcore and were waiting to snatch him up, as the attached video so cleverly diagrams. I don't know 'bout you, but that girlie news reporter is hella hot!
On 10/26, for those of you that follow his Tweets, you could see that some shit was about to drop (as REVOKs post reads) "I CANT FUCKING WAIT TO GET ON THAT PLANE TOMORROW". 11:22 PM Oct 26th.
Homeboy was originally slated for the postponed Clash of the Titans/IRONLAK gig that went sour was various reasons.
REVOK is the fucking man! He did some serious damage (like that 80's Aussie band sang) 'in the land down under'! Hit his website. Buy some gear from his webstore. He's gotta pay some fines.
