• So much information, so little time to digest it all. The obsessive detail that Futura goes into is incredible.
• Kingpin mag has relaunched their website.
• Going places you're not supposed to go.
• Great t-shirt of the day: "Clash Mickey".
• Dream Chimney has put together a cracking archive of 80s rap videos.
• Moloko Cardiff.
• Important lesson learned at Sonic Relief last Friday: buying a handful of raffle tickets won't do you much good if you're in the toilet when they call your number out.
• Plan B is back:
  

• Watch the video for the London Underground song.
• Cocaine Blunts.
• Bobby Hundreds has an interview on Gureala. It's hard to believe that they're putting out this great line whilst still at law school.
• Maddox
• Trainers + Drooghi = big smiles. The SS35 are flying out of the shop (Lee Quiones in for £95, btw) and they've just had their Nike account upgraded to Quickstrike. First up are the Python AT1 and the Orca Pack AT1 and Dunk.
• I popped into Amen today. It's good to see that success hasn't changed them. Glen spent the afternoon playing on a Sega Master System while John did all the work.
• 50:50 still has Huf, T19 and Raygun Dunks in stock. Going live soon...

• Sonic Relief at the Cardiff Coal Exchange this Saturday is a must. All raffles and no shenanigans.
• The 'Jordunk' and T19 Dunk SBs have dropped at PointSeven5ive. I'm a big fan of the 'Jordunk' SBs, especially as it looks like the closest thing to an official JB x SB project.
• 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.

• What a genius.
• The whole 'David Hasselhoff is a legend' school of thought was a tiresome fad, but this fansite has a wicked intro.
• Beatbox harmonica. Look out for the guy in the white tee getting a bit too excited about it all.
• JD Sports is taking care of business in the next couple of months. I'm glad to see that they haven't tried to perserve with the Huarache Light Bursts that Size? is having so much trouble with.
• DestroyRebuild on StickerNation.
• On an ego massage tip, I'm the 7th site listed on a Google search for "Huw Gwyther". See if you can spot my listing on things magazine.

• Those of you blown away by Huw Gwyther on Tuesday's Dragons' Den should check out the Wonderland site. Particular attention should be paid to the projected sales figures for the first month. Ambitious doesn't come into it.
• One day people will take me seriously and I will write for Pitchfork.

Being sick sucks
