Baron Davis is really the best. I mean, between the beard, hipster glasses, his enormous knee brace, and one of the greatest dunks of all time, how could you not cheer for the guy? The only way we could love him more is if he grew a jheri curl and started rocking James Worthy goggles [...]
There are only a few cool things about living in L.A.:
Getting to consistently gripe about a city that’s probably one of the 3-4 best in the world in nearly every respect
The vibrant street art that consistently pops up around you
The taco trucks
This post is about number 2. No, not that kind of number 2 (that would be gross) – [...]
Like Johnny Drama, we rarely venture over the hill and into the post-apocalyptic hellscape known as “the valley.” HOWEVER, on those infrequent occasions we’re always sure to stop by Tradition for the latest streetwear and tees. Recently the guys over there got some new shirts, by the likes of Rogue Status, Crooks & Castles and [...]
Hotrod has to be one of L.A.’s best-kept secrets. This place might not have the immediate name recognition of other streetwear shops but damn they have some cool stuff. Take a look at their online store or give them a call at 310.446.5527 if you hope to have any chance of landing these.
Before the NBA ad team had to spend an hour squeezing Bird and Magic back into their jerseys, but dammit, it was worth it. Also, does anyone else think that Larry Bird now looks like an actual bird? Discuss.
This past Sunday, Nike hosted an exclusive event to celebrate the inimitable Dunks. Festivities included the hip hop orchestra conducted by Double G, The Cool Kids and No Age. Along with the music there was a Celtic dunk tank, free BBQ, a slip and slide and, oh yeah, free Dunks for lucky party goers (like [...]
Brand new and now available for purchase here along with other cities. Yeah, we always thought L.A. was a little cartoony too. This seems to capture the spirit of the city with a nice sense of whimsy.
For all you Dean and Randy fans out there, here’s one piece of merch you won’t (unless you do) be finding at their next show. The 5950 has teamed up yet again with a premiere artist and this time it’s the L.A. punk duo who get their due. More info at GvB and enter for [...]
Go to www.saveourtacotrucks.org to help out and be sure to sign the petition. These trucks are one of the few things that make L.A. distinctive in a good way.
The County Board of Supervisors’ new ordinance that will effectively eliminate Taco Trucks in unincorporated Los Angeles County goes into effect at 12:00 AM on Thursday morning. [...]
Dodgers owner Frank McCourt unveiled plans yesterday for a massive renovation to the stately landmark/7th-circle-of-satan’s-asshole-parking-lot also known as Dodger Stadium. Among the proposed additions to the ballpark are parking garages (yes!!!), a team history museum, restaurants, shops and a public transportation presence. The L.A. Times has the full story here and more pictures here.

I was a little late to come out of the No Age closet. Something about the whole ambient-noise-punk genre made me nervous. I mean, I [...]
The Adidas Left-Right Project in a nutshell: giant sneakers, New York, Los Angeles, graffiti aaaand SCENE!
Rappers used to look like this:
You could say it was a more innocent time. More carefree. Or drugs.
Anyway, one thing you can’t deny is that images like the one above instantly transport you to their own self-contained world. Slick Rick’s gilded grin is as much a calling card for the era as any of his [...]
Hot Rod is one of the best streetwear shops in L.A. and that’s no exaggeration. From their limited edition sneakers and apparel to their ridiculous partnership with the famous Bird Man of L.A. their owner, Cameron, knows his stuff.
They’ve got a ton of new merch and I’m almost hesitant to tell you about this because I [...]
During college I spent part of my time as a not-very-good intern at The Director’s Bureau. Despite my efforts to the contrary, they managed to create some of the coolest music videos/commercials of the last decade for artists like The Strokes, Queens of the Stone Age and others. Now home-grown talent like Cayce Cole, Mike Mills, Geoff [...]
