My main dude Eli Gesner, aka Ocularge, never fails to impress. Check out these pics of his ride, a 1979 co-brand Gucci Cadillac Seville. It was featured on the 1979 Gucci catalogue and only 200 were made. This baby is one of maybe ten that still exist and it is, of course, in fresh mint condition. It came with a full set of Gucci luggage, all the fabric is Gucci, and the trim is 24K gold, son!
Here’s the soundtrack for this whip, if it were mine!: Gucci Time
Manchester bass duo HeavyFeet are releasing their first EP on Plant Music, “Sawdust & Sultanas” which just dropped on Beatport (exclusive). The boys have come with straight House and Old School UK Garage basslines on this release and it’s tough if we do say so ourselves. Check out a little medley of all four on Soundcloud.
HeavyFeet – Sawdust & Sultanas EP (Mini-Mix) – Plant Music 2010 by HeavyFeet
These four tunes (no remixes) really bring it and the DJs who already have it agree. Check it:
“Gonna play ‘For The Pain’ for sure!” – Crookers
“Heavyfeet are at the top of their game and still climbing! Great mixture of garage and house.” – AC Slater
“This is proper new vibe house havoc.” – Drop The Lime
“Sick 5/5″ – Skream
“This is GOOOOD!” – Todd Terry
“‘Here We Go’ again murders shit for me!” – Rico Tubbs
“‘Here we Go Again’ – love HeavyFeet. Another killer.” – Larry T
“This year, HeavyFeet’s musical direction saw them focus away from the dancefloor, and work with vocalists for more song-based productions. As good as these excursions have been, all kudos to Plant Music who have convinced the Mancunian duo to drop a dancefloor EP of immense proportion!! Four huge tunes, with garage and electro influence will no doubt return HeavyFeet back to the top of dancefloor pile!!” 10/10. IDJ Magazine (PJ)’
Grab their their brand new DJ mix featuring all new tracks including their remix of The Glass forthcoming single. Peep the track listing after Jump.
Now usually, I try not to get laughs at the expense of another person, but you have to draw the line somewhere, so here we go…
DUDE!!! What the f*ck?!? You can’t be serious right now!
This is a joke right? Or some type of social experiment? Is there a hidden camera, besides my own? Someone please tell me he’s kidding. He’s not?
Did he not get the memo? Or the memo after that? Or the memo after that? Or the thousands of other memos that have been sent out since the turn of the millennium?
Holy crap! I can’t even believe what I’m seeing. Do my eyes deceive me? Is this guy really still repping GOA TRANCE?
Yep.
Your boy is actually rocking TEAL, CANDY APPLE GREEN and YELLOW TIE-DIE UFO PARACHUTE CARGO PANTS (tucked into knee-high white tubesocks!) with a matching bandana, TRIBAL WRIST BRACELETS, and of course overly tech-ed out crosstraining sneakers and a backpack (which don’t match anything).
In physical essence, our friend over here is attending the final Jelly NYC Pool Party in Williamsburg, but in his mind he is at the Burning Man Festival in Black Rock Desert, Nevada. He’s eating the candy jewelry dangling from this neck, and doing some pretty sweet interpretive dance moves – with CONVICTION! The expression on his face suggests that he’s truly relating to Gucci Mane’s live performance.
Nah, don’t give this guy a pound! We can’t encourage this type of behavior. I mean c’mon, he’s gotta be one of the most blatant style offenders I’ve come across in years. He looks like a walking blacklight poster. He should change his name to VICE DON’TS. But wait, it get’s better…
Is that his girlfriend? Oh word?!? The one wearing nothing but American Apparel booty shorts, a skimpy pink tube top, a leather bag and UGGS BOOTS in 90 DEGREE F*CKING WEATHER?
Wow, how adorable! Tell me something, what combination of hallucinogens do you think they’re on right now? I imagine that it would have to be something strong. How else could anyone think that this is acceptable conduct? How out of touch can you get?
On the other hand, the extent to which this couple doesn’t care is strikingly impressive. It’s really quite admirable in a way – their commitment to not giving a f*ck. In the face of all the surrounding indie rock snobbery, BURNOUT BONNIE & CLYDE have taken a firm stance. It’s them against the world, for better or for worse – and for that reason, they are my heroes. To hell with the hipsters! To hell with good taste, standards, self respect or the entire concept of reality for that matter. All that stuff is surface pettiness anyway. Image is Nothing. Thirst is Everything. Obey your thirst… THE THIRST TO RAVE!
Happy Fashion Week…

I was never a skateboarder but somehow I ended up being friends with a lot of them. One of them is my man Alex Corporan, who along with Andre Razo and Ivory Serra, just compiled the book Full Bleed, which chronicles in images NYC skate culture through the last 30 years. It features the work of Giovanni Reda, Jessica Bard, Ivory Serra, Tobin Yelland, Miki Vuckovich, Thomas Campbell, Larry Clark, Ed Templeton, Jerry Hsu, Atiba Jefferson, Bryce Kanights, Angela Boatwright, Athena Currey, Kenneth Cappello, Charlie Samuels, Andy Kessler, Mike O’Meally, Sammy Glucksman, Allen Ying, and more. If you’re a skate fan, a follower of photography or just into NYC culture, this is a must for your shelf/table.
