The new Supreme catalogue has launched this week stacked with all sorts of goodness from the accessory department. Whereas previous collections have included water pistols and other fun stuff, this Autumn brings Bruce Lee decks, a Gold Deck of Cards, rollerball pens, keychains, ashtrays and plenty more – plus this dope stash book to hide your green.
Karl Watson, Josh Kalis, Nick Tucker, Jordan Hoffart, Tommy Sandoval, Kellen James and Larelle Gray get stuck into a night time session in this new 9Five clip.
The history of Anti Hero’s Peter Hewitt is rapped in this new homage from Christian Hosoi, Elijah Berle, Matt Moffet, Jeff Grosso and more. Get the teas on for this.
DC just added Cyril Jackson to their shoe team. On the strength of this welcome clip, this Baker boy is going to be a hit. Switch and reg hammers and much more going on in this.

Pond
Hobo Rocket
(Modular)
Pond share two members with Australian psych-masters Tame Impala but don’t for a second think this is some throw-away side-project there to keep the band amused in downtime. Far from it, Hobo Rocket is Pond’s fifth album and it’s a glorious rush of pop, noise psychedelia that out freaks anything Tame Impala have come up with. Opening song ‘Whatever Happened To The Million Head Collide’ sets the stall out for the album very quickly, no easing the listener in gently, it slides out of the starting block shimmering with a squelchy Flaming Lips psych-pop vibe, with a pure shot of Butthole Surfers noise running through its veins. This is modern psychedelic music at its best, breathing in fifty years of experimental sounds into their collective lungs and exhaling them all over 2013.
Pond, however, ignore the mistakes of the past and resist the temptation to become self-indulgent and drab, keeping their brand of psychedelia focused and direct. ‘Xanman’, for example, hits the freak out button hard but remains upbeat and melodic, despite the swirling cacophony of noise the envelopes the song. Next up, ‘O Dharma’ is a floating Spiritualized type ballad that twinkles like the Lips own ‘Waiting For Superman’ had it been penned in 1974 by Roger Waters. Then Pond lurch back into the evil lysergic doom of ‘Aloneaflameaflower’ that crackles with such a mischievous ‘I’m gonna fuck up your trip and freak you out’ grin, you can’t help but love it, before running away feeling a bit paranoid and scared.
This is a good time for psychedelic music. It’s good to see the freak flag still waving high.

The HUF team have been rolling through Europe for the last 2 weeks and will finally descend on UK soil next week on their Stoops Tour. Manchester will be visited this Sunday 18th with a signing at the Note shop at 3pm. There is no official demo planned for this leg of the tour so it seems. London will welcome the team on Tuesday with a signing session at Slam City Skates at 3pm followed by a shred at Southbank at 6pm. Spread the word.
So there it is, a historical week for Hip Hop comes to an end, or does it? Kendrick Lamar’s most recent lyrical bomb drop on Big Sean’s track calling out Jermaine Cole, Big KRIT, Wale/Pusha T, Meek Mill, A$AP Rocky, Drake/Big Sean, Jay Electron’, Tyler and Mac Miller has kept the internet burning daily. It’s been fun to watch, sad in some cases.
Run The Jewels duo El-P and Killer Mike (who were interviewed this week over at Clash) responded to the outburst, who bring sense to the matter rather than loosing their cool. Watch this video and take home their new album here, it’s been on our stereo daily.
Papoose got some good shit in there too this week. Streaming below too.
