10 Deep SS07 preview

i would never know who the heck is 10 Deep if it weren't my homeboy, kit, who introduced me their stuffs by handing me over a tee some time ago. 10 Deep is an underground label from New York, and recently released its SS07 collection and it's available over at Commonwealth.

10 Deep is well-known over its brass knuckle artwork - i termed it as "another brand that promotes weapons and violence"

anyway...here's a little preview of its latest range.

my favorite!

complicated piece. but it's awesome!

it's Colette's 10th Anniversary Deck

the masterpiece deck is one of the line-ups of Colette's 10th anniversary collection. skateboarding has slowly evolved to a trend of its kind instead of an extreme sports from yesteryears. some stores really have massive displays of deck collections, intentionally for decoration purposes only. well, for a gorgeous-looking deck like this over here, would you bear to do a boardslide or a lipslide, or a massive 540 triple flip noseslide? it's either you break your neck or you break your deck - so would you risk that? i'd say no for this deck! you will never know the price will go hiking its way up in the next coming 10 years.

the deck's available for purchase at Colette online store.

reminiscing good music from the past......

there's only so much you can do when it comes to researching for new music to listen to. discovering new bands, or perhaps some groups that have been disbanded before you even knew they existed and it's super waste if they are one amazing band.

here's my preferred past albums from my collection i think you should spend some time to check them out, not for the sake of just checking, but to listen to the music that they had created.

1) M83 - Before the Dawn Heals Us (2005)
ambient/electronic duo M83 is the right band for you if you're a spacy-sync-ridden-tune person. wonderful work with the keyboards i should say. it just blended so well. unfortunately, this album was done by Anthony Gonzalez himself, as his other half, Nicolas Fromageau, left.

recommended tracks: don't save us from the flames, teen angst.

2) Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Slow Riot for New Zero Kanada (1999)
nine-piece Montreal-based instrumental post-rock band Godspeed You! Black Emperor is one of my favorite bands of all time. making full use of strings and samplers to create this 2-track album. if you're the kind who can take lengthy music that last for more than 10 minutes, then you should check out their style and the arrangements of their music.

recommended tracks: moya and bbf3 since there's only two tracks in this album...

3) Red House Painters - Songs For A Blue Guitar (1996)
folk rock band Red House Painters is the band who influenced me to folk. and this album is the top favorites from all of their albums. the band have disbanded and reformed as Sun Kil Moon since 2003. great guitar work, great moody-sinking-tears-dropping rhythm.

recommended tracks: have you forgotten, all mixed up

4) Slint - Spiderland (1991)
post-rock outfit Slint is the shit! unfortunately, they have disbanded since 1992, and reformed for a brief series of special shows.

recommended tracks: breadcrumb, washer

more bands coming up soon. in the mean time, please do give comment on what you think about these recommended bands...until then, enjoy listening!

Reza Salleh's Smoke City

singer, songwriter and guitarist Reza Salleh released his Smoke City EP recently. featured 3 studio recorded tracks and 3 demo tracks. i have seen one of his many shows and his music is fantastic. something different aside from the general contemporary rock scene in the nation, this guy plays folk rock stuffs and i love folk.


aside from his music career, he also does a little contribution to the local music scene by organizing themed-shows for underground bands and independent groups to step out and show their skills in music. Moonshine happens once in a month at Laundry Bar, The Curve.


Reza will be playing on April 19 at Laundry's 2nd Anniversary party, along with line-ups like Izzy, Isaac Entry, Lucy in the Loo, Seven Collar T-shirt, Bittersweet, Kluk Kluk Adventure, and many more which has yet to confirm. no cover applies. be there!

Married to the Mob NYC collection...

Married to the Mob has some pretty cool designs released recently. their latest piece is this hoodie with a large lipstick print almost covering the whole front of the garment. the lipstick print comes in three different colors - red, white and black.


the rest of the collection are from their spring collection. there's more in the website.




especially for the ladies out there who dress to kill, check out the MOB x MCM designer hangbags they have.. i'll be getting one if i had a punani instead. damn. the bags are retailing at 850 euros.

what an inspiration...

i was running through some online stores and i found something amazingly familiar. something pretty hilarious to look at, and cool to wear it. anyway, let us all do a comparison here whether does it look alike to adidas stan smith's logo...

spot the difference? anyway, this is a t-shirt design by Acapulco Gold, the new face among the Supreme family tree.

Nike released "LA Sketch"

nike recently released the "LA Sketch" t-shirt, which comes along a collector's edition box and 6 permanent ink markers to add colors onto the tee...as some prefer it to be all-white, some might prefer it to be colorful. well, i'd say it looks flaming hot both ways. some anonymous web stated it's retailing at £30. it's costly, but who gives a damn when u can have a tee somehow different than others?

kashmir boutique?

Danish band Kashmir recently launched its boutique for fans to purchase their merchandises, from normal t-shirt prints to posters to dvd to anything related to the band.






Kashmir's latest album No Balance Palace (2006) saw them lending vocals from superstars David Bowie and Lou Reed. Kalifornia, Cynic and Rocket Brothers (from their previous album Zitilities) are one of the many top singles of the quartet.


the band was previously known as Nirvana back in spring '91, before Kurt Cobain's version of Nirvana gained fame success in America, they switched their name to Kashmir, and started rocking the stage with their new name.

New Balance release Sandals....

somewhere in the world wide web i found out that New Balance recently released its new range of sandals in Japan.

Bon FIRE! Bon FIRE!

one of the most potential hip hop act in Malaysia, KLG Sqwad hails all the way from Klang and are really proud of being a part of Klang homeboys, seeing the name KLG stands for KLANG in short, indeed. KLG Sqwad is one of the first multi-racial groups out there in the country - consisting of Ariff Azhar (Koncept83), Ng Chor Ming (Ming the Chin) and KokulaBalan (Vice Versa), backed by turntablist DJ Mel and AIM winner for Best Producer, D'Navigator.


once in awhile, you can catch the trio hanging out in the local clubs, either to chill out with their homeboys, or rocking on-stage providing supportive crowds with their recent hit on local radio stations, Amplify, which were seen climbing and maintaining in the charts for quite a while. the song was played once at Laundry Bar by DJ Nesh. WHOO! i hate to admit, but the crowd was really GROOVING when the song was played. even the negros started to shake shake shake.


KLG Sqwad, signed under former Too Phat one-half, Joe Flizzow's record label, Kartel Records, will be releasing their debut album pretty quite soon this year, as told by one of its members when met in the AF1 launch party. the trio have performed with various local big shots including RnB icon Reshmonu, hip hop veteran Too Phat, dikir barat rappers Ahli Fiqir, indie hip hop outfit Teh Tarik Crew, Canadian freestylist Vandal, the producer behind Coco Lee and Evonne Hsu Terry Lee, rockers Pop Shuvit and many many more.

here's what ChannelV's AMP gotta say about them.

so, let's go Bon Fire! Bon Fire! Bon Fire!

The Ferns, one of 25 Best Bands in MySpace named by Rolling Stones

The Ferns, a Malaysian indie-rock/pop outfit, turned internationally recognized when rock magazine Rolling Stones announced the Best 25 Bands in MySpace last December. The Ferns are one of the two Malaysian bands among the 25. The other one is indie-rock Couple.


The Ferns's first album, On Botany, received a numerous magnificent reviews from the local media, The Star and Think Online to name a few. but let's face the fact, sometimes media can be slightly misleading. but not in this case. the band really has got what it takes to be named one of the best 25. Disaster Strikes Again caught me in a shocking mode when i listen to it. the rhythm is good, the vocals just made me sang along, the clap was really convincing, solo were pretty clean....

track listing:
1. this sweet refrain
2. disaster strikes again
3. wistful thinking
4. the western front
5. dear derelict
6. love in a handful of beans
7. i won't forget
8. citadel
9. death of a lifetime
10. when we die

i'm not really too sure where to get their albums, but, i'm sure there is one when you want one. for more info on the band, you know where to find em'...... don't act stupid... oh for fucking sakes!! MySpace, you freaking cunt! not a good reader...not a good one.

Yours Truly, Angry Mob

finally! after a long wait over two years for their new album, Yours Truly, Angry Mob finally is out since two months ago. i don't know about you, but, you know how it is when you listen to the same ol' tracks over and over and over and over again, and then, you get something new to listen and you're like, "WHOAAAA!!!!"...well, that's here for my case. i told myself, "finally! enough of everyday i love you less and less and i predict a riot, here comes RUBY!"


it's Kaiser Chiefs here we are talking about. english new wave rock outfit is well-recognized among the indie rock scene with their top singles, which have seen rocking the crowd in the clubs. their first single from the new album, Ruby has already hit #1 spot in the charts not too long after the release. you will soon be listening to their second single, Everything Is Average Nowadays soon in the radio, hopefully. cos' we know malaysian radio stations HARDLY ever play any indie rock stuffs.


Kaiser Chiefs had won numerous awards in 2006, some including Best Brit-Rock Act, Best British Live Act, Best British Group, Best Album and Best Dressed for frontman Ricky Wilson.


for those who don't know Kaiser Chiefs - a radio-friendly, hook-ridden electronic rhythm rock band.

SirGila.K says: Yours Truly, Angry Mob is a great come-back for Kaiser Chiefs, in fact, a wonderful come back...but i think they are way potentially better than that... try harder, chiefs!
