CFCF. Music. MTL.

... sure Mike Silver aka CFCF is my homie, but he's also a wicked talented musician. His newest record Continent (Paper Bag Records) is out of this world... I've been listening/loving it lots... creates nice moods. Also his recent remix of Before Tigers by HEALTH is rad (if you haven't already heard it all over the internet) listen HERE.

Pashley + Reynolds = The Guv’nor

A sweet retro bike modeled after the classic Path Racer, Reynolds design from nearly 80 years ago. The bike's frame is built using Reynolds 531 steel tubing, which was the carbon fiber of its day, but hasn’t truly been popular since the 1930’s. It also got 28-inch, gold-lined black alloy rims, North Road drop handlebars with handmade leather grips, and a Brooks saddle with titanium rails. The bike comes in a single or three speed model... AND the best part of it is you get a free bag of Guv’nor’s blend tea from Pashley... booyah.

Publication based on their exhibition/series A True Story Based on Lies.


An Experience of Amusing Chemistry. McDermott & McGough.


A History of Photography. McDermott & McGough.

To say that David Mcdermott + Peter Mcgough are great artists is the understatement of the century. I think their work is incredibly exciting and I am fascinated by them as people. Much of their imagery comes from famous old Hollywood films, with iconic actresses like Lana Turner and Susan Hayward making special appearances in their work. I can relate to their love of the 'old world', and their disappointment with modern times... I do think its ironic how their work is so next-level and contemporary when they are totally inspired by all things vintage/old school... however the fact that they lived/worked in NYC's East Village proves to be an equally predominant influence in their style-the Pop Art/Andy Warhol comparison relates.
This video sealed the deal for me... McDermott + McGough are BIG TIME radical.
