THE GRAPHICS: Keith Haring x Blik

Just came across this Keith Haring wall sticker for Blik.  This is one of my favorite Keith Haring pieces. Check the Blik site for other Keith Haring pieces along with many other artists.

THE EVENT: Billy Reid x Big Apple BBQ

This Saturday, Alabama's Jim 'n Nick's BBQ will be roasting a whole pig outside of the Billy Reid shop in honor of the Big Apple BBQ.  They will be serving pork tacos, drinks and more from 7-9. It's the perfect mix of fashion and food.

Billy Reid, 54 Bond Street (near Bowery)

THE LABEL: GONZ!

Gonz! is back with a special collection for Urban Outfitters.  Straight from the makers of Fresh Jive and Warriors of Radness!  Solid beach wear at a good price.  I just saw the collection at Urban and was impressed. Excuse the lame ass models though...I wish they just shot the product.

THE JAM: Paul Simon x Sesame Street

This week could get heavy with the Paul Simon videos.  Been in that kind of mood.

THE JAM: Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti "Bright Lit Blue Sky"

Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - "Bright Lit Blue Skies" from gorillavsbear.net on Vimeo.
Go buy Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti's album "Before Today".  It's a little less lo-fi and art damaged as his earlier works, but just as good.  Here's a video for the song "Bright Lit Blue Sky", a cover of The Rockin' Ramrods 1966 song.  It's just a taste of Ariel Pink and crew's weird 70's AM radio art-pop songs!

THE TIE: Band of Outsiders sale

Buy one tie and get one half-off for Father's Day on the Band of Outsiders site! Don't know if my Dad would rock a skinny tie, but you can always get two for yourself. Just enter the code "My Two Dads" at checkout. (via GQ)
