• Grand: coming soon. I'll be interested to see how this shop gets on. It's never made sense to me that Zurich didn't have a shop of this caliber before now, yet you have to wonder where they will draw their customer base from.
• A trip down to London may be on the cards.

• Drooghi have had a major stock update on their site. There is a completely different line-up of labels for this season, including White Panic and Natural Born Killers. As I predicted, the Rather Not Say line sold so well that only the t-shirts have made it online. All the polos have gone for the time being. Polos are available in-store only.
• Things I Hate About My Flatmate.

Being sick sucks

  2. Amen have decided to extend their AM180 for £70 offer until stocks last. They also have the Mø lasered AF1 mids in stock for £90.
  3. Ben Baller's doing another auction. Instant collection if you have a few $100,000 spare.

• Ever wanted to see Paul Shier noseslide a block of ice? You can now.
• Big L R.I.P.
• Frontal Labs.
• There are so many things right about a Scandinavian Sneaker Forum.
• Check out Gary Warnett's blog for the archive of writing that no-one would publish.

• A day late, but it's worth the wait. Stupid video.
• Nathan Barley is coming.
• PointSeven5ive in Belfast has one of my favourite trainers reduced to £39.00: Green Noodle Nike Air Zoom FC. I might try wearing them reversed with the Reds.

• The most comprehensive UNKLE mp3 archive to date.
• The Hanon sale has had a restock in all areas.
• That'd be right:

• People will collect anything nowadays. Rather odd auction for a Timberland leather cow.
• Those of you with friends in New York should ask them to pop along to Barneys on February 11th for the Kid Robot AM1. Rumours abound of 48 pairs of the pink colourway and 250 pairs of the black colourway.

  Andy C starts a new Silent Running residency at Clwb Ifor Bach on Friday 4th February.

• The more forward-thinking of you should also take note that Mr Thing is playing Moloko Cardiff on Thursday 3rd March.
• First look photos of the highly anticipated Nike Vengeance London have appeared on BGHD. These look fantastic; full marks to their featured artist Gasius for coming through with these.
  

• So was yesterday as terrible as they were making out? My day was fairly uneventful, but I'd like to say get well soon to my friend Craig who cracked his head open while playing football.
• The Stussy Store has a headwear sale on. Up to 60% off everything, including current lines. The sale does extend to the shop on Earlham St.
• One man's mission to chart his sneaker purchases.
• Ever tried using Google to search for mp3 downloads? Enter the following phrase into the searchbox: ?intitle:index.of?mp3 name of artist. Here's an example using Ian Brown. Results may vary depending on artist.
• As well as collabing with UNKLE x Mhi on a new series of snopants (up on dp-mhi now), Surrender will soon be selling UNKLE x SBTG custom Nikes.

• Today is officially the most depressing day of the year. BMX Backflips should make it pass that much quicker.

• Push The Button remixed.
• This man is very likely to go insane.
• Graffiti artist appears on TV and gains nationwide exposure for his clothing line. If only it were always that easy.

• Darth Tater.
• In my bigging up of One 40 Five Store the other day, I forgot to mention that they'll be getting the MWA Unkle Gore-Tex jacket sometime in April. Don't sleep.

• Ladbrokes and Billy Hill have slashed the odds on this man becoming the next James Bond.
• All internet bargains, all the time, all in one place.
• Have I become so desensitised that none of these shock me and I find some of them very funny? (Not safe for work/school/shared family computer).
• The price of the fit: DPMHI have released a line of clothing to go with the Terminators. Looks like my plans for a similar 'TJS' tee had better be put to one side.
• This is very sad news. Best wishes for a full recovery.
• I'm a big fan of The Work of Director Spike Jonze DVD, but I'd never thought to search for Easter Eggs.
• Ever wanted to make a clever take-off of the Supreme box logo tee, but never knew what font they used? Upload a picture of the box logo to What The Font? and it will tell you. It also has many other practical uses.

• A leaked copy of Beck's as yet untitled new album can be found here. After alienating a lot of people with some of his previous albums, it sounds like he's back on track.

• Billy Harvey scares the crap out of me.

• Some photos of the Boombox display in the Carhartt store in Zurich. Left. Right.
• Blueprint Skateboards have made a trailer for their new video 'Lost And Found'.
• I went along to Global Love at Moloko last night and came back with these photos. I didn't stay for long, but it was a good-natured event, with most people appreciating the effort involved rather than scuffling for freebies. The raffle. High Contrast.

• The unBeams Huarache Lights have dropped in JD Sports and Size?, retailing at £65. There's a great deal of speculation that JD has simply bought up the leftover stock from the original Beams release (the colour label on the box mentions Beams). However, the date code of "041012" (i.e. manufactured between October and December 2004) would indicate otherwise.
• Harry Enfield doing a line of cat
• If you liked the look of the Drooghi's polo shirts on BGHD a few weeks ago, you'll be pleased to hear that they're available in store (and online soon). Polos are £55, while the crew neck tees (in lovely heavyweight cotton) are £45.
• Arkitip have revamped their website, simplifying everything greatly. No word on any more fingerboard collabs on the horizon.

• The Hanon sale starts today, with up to 70% off.

• Mo'Wax Arts - coming soon.
• Pay close attention to this site. There is an Air Max 180 iD on the horizon.
• Trainer dissection
• A fairly comprehensive discography of MF Doom's recent work. Worth a look if you're struggling to keep up.

• After all my years of using the BBC website, I've only just found the Collective area
