ok, it’s that time again. the euphoria that is friday evening���. we got there in the end. first off��� go to the new crookers blog and play the micromix vol. 2 found on the left hand side. oh, and crank the bass. standard. then start to read on���. do not pass go and don’t collect ��200 until you do so. promise?
okay, so we can get started. had to set the scene you see. so crookers always seem to kill It and this minimicromegamix features tracks from the likes of Fake Blood, Bingo Players, Riva Starr, Jack Beat, Nic Sarno, Congorock, L-Vis 1990 and Jesse Rose. not to mention the shout outs from the mac and the almighty godfather outro! so nothing has changed there then plus not only that but we thought we���d also throw in the latest remix offering of fever ray (of the knife fame) in the video up top.
so crank it up and let the weekend begin!

trapstar, urban nerds, a.in.t, dirty canvas, nike 1948, chockablock, night slugs and cordy house all in the same sentence? all on the same weekend? yup and yes, i tell you no lies. this weekend london is playing the very happy host to notting hill carnival and all the treats that come with it. these are my plans, feel free to come and join me, i will mainly be dancing, eating olives and learning to hula hoop.
friday night is big, stupidly so. pick one or the other or pick both but don???t go anywhere else, all you could ever want is here, dirty canvas and why not @ scala or chockablock @ the egg.
good morning saturday! rise and shine,?? spark in hand (sooo much better than a boring coffee) and off to the reset at nike 1948, shoreditch. bring something to keep you busy in the que, like a colouring book or a hula hoop (i???m obsessed) if the first reset is anything to go by then this one is going to be ginormous! once again gracing the floors of 1948 our true british streetwear brands, trapstar, a.in.t, second son and trinotron plus a couple of new ones for this time round, suburban bliss and charlatan. if you want in on the afterparty at cordy house be quick and email here, its strictly guestlist only!
hanging about on street corners isn???t always a bad thing (really). come sunday (if you are still standing) oi you are hosting a 2 day party on the corner of portobello road and elgin cresent with a 10k soundsystem in tow. radioclit, titus and jack penate, man like me, blaise bellville, work it girls, get me and oi you dj???s will all be thrown in for good measure. yes please to this.

beauty and the dirt has the evidence here
what do you think?

like hannibal (as in the a-team guy, not the eaty-brains-guy), we love it when a plan comes together. and this is a pretty awesome plan if we do say so ourselves. foreign beggars have teamed up with the almighty legends of turntablism the scratch perverts for a new project called neurosonics audiomedical produced by chris cairns (who is so hot right now) i don’t want to spill too many beans as the video and the site talks for itself, in fact, all i can probably say is ���aaaaaaaammmmmmmaaaaaaazzzzzzziiiiinnnnnnnnnnggggg!��� or something along the same lines.

oasis may have let the crowds down, but the fash pack where out in force at the weekend, so we have compiled some of our fave celeb looks and how you can get them for less���

• billie piper���s the ultimate yummy mummy in this tight little number here….

….. and you can get the same look with this figure hugging topshop version: et voila!

• lily allen gave the crowd a little more than they expected.. if you���ve got it flaunt it! lily’s look…

…. and if your feeling risqu�� get the look with American apparel: ta-da!
have you got a fave look from v, share the love and let us know..

now i���ve known about this for a while but seriously, today i discovered or shall i say unearthed an entire pool on flickr with loads of these geeky graphs that people have made. if you haven���t come across these before then, well, this is what we���re here for. definitely good fodder for sending round the office, you know, when everyone needs a good geeky laugh. did you ever think a flow chart would make you smile?

festival season may be coming to an end but those hunters will still be useful as winter is just around the corner!
the hunter wellie is not just a fashion must have it���s a sign of real ���britishness���! the queen even has a pair. not to mention kate moss, alexa chung, lily cole… the list goes on.
although they might set you back around ��60, you really do get your pound per usage!
go get some!

yes i know, it���s wednesday all over again. it���s a weird one wednesday, it���s like saying is the bottle half empty or half full. well for us, it���s always ���full��� and in some willy wonkaesque manner we never run out of juice. so, no matter what your stars are saying we���ve developed a quick fire mid-week chart to make you perkier than that puppet pig twin thing (aka perky pig). let���s get down to business:

1. david guetta ft. akon ��� sexy chick (abel ramos��� atlanta remix)
2. just jack ��� the day i died
3. lady gaga ��� love game (chew fu remix ft. marilyn manson)
4. arctic monkeys ��� crying lightning
5. calvin harris ��� i���m not alone (royal k���s alone in the dark bootleg)

check back next wednesday for more remixchartery action!

hold on to your hats gals! there will be fighting in the streets once again! with designers hitting the highstreet left right and centre. we weren���t surprised to hear christopher kane is doing a collection for topshop, excited!! we will be there, elbows at the ready.
what has been your fave collaboration so far.. matthew williamson for h&m? kate moss at topshop?.. tell us what you think..

ok, so we were all taught not to play with our food and all that.�� But��� well��� we just can���t resist these handy lightsaber chopsticks.�� They���re darn right ingenius! what���s the most amazing and creative thing like this you���ve seen? and can someone please tell me how the darth maul chopsticks are supposed to work???
