A few days ago, the Hajime Soroyama x Kaws No Future Companion released quietly on kawsone.com, and sold out within minutes. If you’ve been looking to get yourself one of the figures limited to only 500, Parisian-retailer, Colette just received a couple today. However (like all things at Colette), the price tag is much heftier than the $980 it was going for on kawsone.com. It will put you back a cool $1500.

The musical brain behind Rage Against The Machine, Tom Morello along with Boots Riley (The Coup repper) = Street Sweeper Social Club, which is a combination of guitar-funk and hip-hop. Too bad that ‘Clap For The Killers’ wasn’t the first video. It’s my favourite off the album. Directed by Matthew Stawski.

Andrey Nepomnyaschev bounces colourful balls in perfect synch to some great music. After watching the video, I was forced to purchase the album, and I don’t know how I overlooked it a month ago. Hardcore electronic/glitch in line with some great visuals. Thanks, Russia.

Ryan McGinley was enlisted by Wieden+Kennedy to shoot the new campaign for the Levi’s Go Forth campaign, which draws on the brand’s heritage as the quintessential American jeans. Interestingly enough, the photos bare quite a resemblance to the campaign McGinley shot for Wrangler just recently.
