Most kids don’t remember how awesome Def Leppard was back in the day, they just maybe know “Pour Some Sugar On Me” from a drunken karaoke night and think that’s where it begins. Uh uh, slow down there Taylor Swift. Even before “Photograph” put their Pyromania album on the map they had already dropped two […]

A blast from the past... for your DOS boner

I can’t say that I remember seeing ASCII Porn (aka “pr0n”) in its first stages of development and circulation; but I have come across it as a pivotal type of art/porn/computer-nerd phenomenon and landmark of sorts.

Aaah, Gremlins — who […]

A skateboard classic high-top gets reborn

Just in time for Spring, Italian sportswear label ellesse revives its classic The Assist skateboard high-top. Part of their Heritage line, The Assist was worn on the feet of legendary 80s skaters like Natas, Mic E Reyes, Tommy & Thiebaud.
