Right around when A-Trak’s Running Man mix for Nike+ first dropped, he went to the Nike ID studios with our art director Dust La Rock and our pal Kesh to test out some colorways. Now you can put the fruits of their afternoon on your feet by winning these Nike ID dunks! We have 5 pairs to give away, all you have to do is email us your name, shoe size, shipping address (no PO boxes, you gotta be able to sign for these) and phone number, and we’ll choose winners at random next week
Michael C. Place is a English designer, former member of the Designers Republic (I’ll get to them in another post) and the artist featured in this French advertisement (with a song you may have heard). Now if i could only get Pritt to send me some of those correction rollers..
M-E-T-H-O-Ds of modern blogs! Check Chromeo teaming up with Daryl Hall and jamming out on Hall and Oates’ classics (and “Tenderoni” - and Boz Skaggs!) on the latest episode of Live From Daryl’s House.
NORE’s got a whole myspace gallery dedicated to his Newports-inspired chain.
You really gotta respect the attention to detail. It says Thugged Box instead of Menthol Box. They’re called Noreports. Sounds like The War Report (his first album, duh — or am I reading into it too much?). Oh and the box opens too. God bless America.
To coincide with a “Vinyl Archaeology” article they penned for the latest issue of The Fader, our own Nacho Lovers are sharing some of their favorite acieeeeeeeeed jams with you. Says Fistfight: “Here is a mini mix of some Acid house tracks we love. A few classics, a few lesser known or under-appreciated gems, and a few great acid tracks that aren’t 10+ years old.” Download it here, check tracklist after the jump, and read their article in the latest issue of the mag (Busy Signal and Tough Alliance on the cover).

Remember the epic Fool’s Gold x Dim Mak North American tour from this past spring? We were armed with one of The Cobra Snake’s extra cameras (I shall call it “The Rattler”) during the whole trip, but after everything wrapped, the pics mysteriously disappeared. Until today! Steve just sent us this link to check the recent vintage tour snaps over at the Snake. As a bonus, check our tour diaries (originally published on thefader.com) after the jump.

I meant to post this 24 hours ago but internet access is like the Holy Grail when you’re on the road.
I landed in London after the classic yet dreaded overnight flight. I had a bad case of the Middle Seat Blues but I did manage to get 2 or 3 hours of sleep in there. As we took off I was starving and really looking forward to my meal. I was in the second-to-last row though so I knew I’d have to twiddle my thumbs for a hot minute. Then the guy on my left got his meal before everyone. He had one of those “special” orders. I was thinking, I’m going to start asking for kosher meals when I book these flights. Most of you know that I’m Jewish, but I eat everything, I don’t really care. However if this will allow me to eat before everyone else, sign me up! Bring on the airplane latkes, baby. Those meals are probably better anyway since they make less of them.
Today’s vowel-less linkage continues, as we direct you once again to RCRD LBL to download the excellent Lifelike remix of Treasure Fingers’ already-excellent “Cross The Dancefloor” for the even more excellent price of zero cents. Grab it, link it, party naked. And don’t forget to pick up the full “Cross The Dancefloor” single at allfinedigitalretailers. Vinyl gets here next week, and there will be more treats from Treasure Fingers and Lifelike on this here blog very soon…
