a bathing ape & others

lots of news on the shop front recently but i thought this one was definately worth a mention. a really rad store called 'A Bathing Ape' has just re-opened its london store. while the adress (Upper James Street) hasn't changed the architecture has, thanks to a major refurbishment by Masamichi Katayama of design firm 'Wonderwall'

i walked my dogs (poppy and vince) today which i enjoyed alot, nice to have a break from blogging and thinking about work. i realised the countryside sometimes is a nice play just to have a think.

recently i've found some really interesting bands, and today i found another really cool artist i've found is 'Miike Snow' their debut album is released in october. it's set to be anything but - an instantly accessible showcase of thoughtful pop that will have music journos frantically looking up words like ‘ethereal’ and lyrical’ in their thesauruses. the singles 'Animal' & 'Burial' are both great.
