I love days like today! My boy Tom Wrecks just sent me his remix of Metric’s- Collect Call that he just released . That’s right, it’s brand spankin’ new and I have it here for your listening pleasure and if you’re like me…your dancing pleasure. It’s Hot!
Tom Wrecks formerly known as T-Wrecks is a Canadian DJ who lives in Toronto. He was on the Kanye West mixtape for the official Love Lockdown remix and he’s part of Canada’s world renowned crew the Stylusts, who won the Canadian DMC Team Championships in 2006. The mans got skills!
Check out his mix!
Metric-Collect Call (Tom Wrecks Remix)
Metric, who are also Canadian and from Toronto released their latest album Fantasies back in April, and have received a huge responce. Emily Haines, the lead singer of the band took a trip to Buenos Aires to write the album and while she was there, discovered this graffiti art collective called Hollywood Cambodia and decided to include their art in a 12×12 poster that you can rip up into postcards. Pretty cool! However, you can only get it by ordering their Fantasies package.
Hollywood Cambodia has various works on abandoned buildings around Buenos Aires, but they have this one designated wall in a Palermo cafe where artists from the collective have created an amazing mural by adding to the wall instead of painting over each others’ original images. Colloaberating into something very special and interesting. Enjoy!

Adidas recently just celebrated their 60th anniversary of the iconic 3-Stripes mark introduced by company founder Adi Dassler. It was the largest global brand campaign ever for Adidas Originals under the banner of Celebrate Originality.
One of the original things they did, was call onto graffiti artist Tilt to drive around Paris in a car that both he and graffiti artist Mist customized, called the “Super Cool Pussy Magnet”.
The idea was to have Tilt drive around 6 bloggers that he has never met and give them a cool illegal graffiti mission experience.
Here are the 2 mission videos, which are both in French. However, if you don’t speak French I recommend that you still watch them to get a feel of the experience and to see the final pieces. He’s a great artist and a good friend of mine. Enjoy!

Check out these PUMA shoes that just came out on Sat May 16th. They’re crazy!
With the success the Cheech Wizard PUMA Clydes had back in 2007, PUMA once again called out to Mark Bodé to design a pair of sneakers to honor the artwork of his father, Vaughn Bodé. Mark and PUMA this time put together two pairs of the PUMA Mid in what is called ‘Da Lizard Pack’, a pack paying tribute to a lizard character named ‘Da Lizard’ that Vaughn Bodé created in the 1950’s.
They also made a high quality jersey hooded sweatshirt with attention to detail in the hood. Check out Da Lizard head on that!
Vaughn Bodé is one of the most influential American cartoonists of our time. Much of graffiti art itself comes from the work of Vaughn Bodé. Rendering his characters, lettering and cartoon semiotics is a rite of passage for graffiti art crews.
Here’s an animated short by Nigel Hendrickson, with input from Mark Bodé.
