Well tell that girl shes pretty dumb coz Fujiwara is famous for the exact opposite, he DOES everything. He can skate, produce music, make music, mix, design clothes, style, write, edit and recently he pioneered the fixed gears craze in Japan.

And if she wants to tell you he just does all this stuff as a hobby tell her to look at any clothes or baggage produced by Fujiwara (not all designed by him these days but with his direction) by GoodEnough, Resonate GoodEnough, Electic Cottage, Head Porter, Head Porter Plus, Base Control, Fenom, Fragment etc etc.

Tell her he works for a lot of big time companies as a consultant too, including Nike,

Tell her to listen to any of his original music or mixes, the guy has impeccable taste.

Your cute friend is misguided.

Meh, had a listen to some of his mixes and thought they were pretty bland actually...

The signing up part is a pain in the ass, but definitely a great site for foreign/art films of all kinds.

I wouldn't bother with Roppongi (in my opinion anyway).

For a rainy day check this out-

It's a fun, very interactive exhibition going on there.

here's what I don't get. snowboarding is based directly on skateboarding. yet somehow snowboarding becomes an olympic sport first? I don't get it. Sure surfing started the whole thing, but skating and surfing are vastly different. skating and snowboarding,very similar.

Ditto on Skype. If you have an internet connection then this is the best way to go.

basicly they get paid to rep a company. ads make them money, and even non ad photos in mags as long as thier sponsers logo is visable, which is one of the reasons of the huge logo tees and shit like that. they also make royalties from board, shoe, wheel, clothing sales. in reality, contests are a very small part of it all. my friend clyde has been pro for something like 12 years and i dont think hes ever placed in a contest.

KOOK.

quiksilver allows you to type the first few letters of an application and almost instantly gives you the option of opening it (ie you don't have to go through finder).

And just a quick question to the person who recommended camino- what does this browser do that safari doesn't? Have found safari fine up until now.

How about these?

yeah, shut the fuck up bitch. no one cares how pretty u and your ROK buddies are in their skintight clubfag shirts.

how many girls u know who are care about the obsessive details of anything? selvege, hidden rivets, concrete pattern throwing references to `80s jordans. Girls dont give a fuck. they just want stuff thats `cute`. thats why this site is 99% dudes.

Dude, get over yourself. I'm not into her style either but I don't go and disrespect someone just because their shit is different from my own. Just because she's not into the funky fresh fly Supreme gear like your wannabe skater ass...

Have a nice day

Quite interesting discussion, really... People often like to wear brands because they want to show who they are, what they are, and what kind of people they would like to compare themselves to, or what kind of people they don't wish to be like. This is basic profiling of product adopters - going from innovators who are very self-conscious and want to distinguish themselves from the common herd, to early adopters who often are leaders in social settings, to the early majority who are deliberate and have many informal contacts, to the late majority, and to laggards who are driven by fear and adopt fashion not because they want to stand out, but because they are afraid of standing out.

Bape isn't superexclusive, but it's by no means a large brand neither. I think people that wear bape/bapy/apee generally have a well above normal interest for clothing, and I think a lot of the bape stuff is well designed, good quality and quite original. For some consumers this is not enough. Often it seems like some consumers wear brands, and stop wearing brands, mostly because they want to disassociate themselves from the early majority of consumers - and thereby be in a position where they can knock on people who catched interest of a brand later than they did. It must be quite draining...to have such cool and fresh stuff that you can hardly walk on your feet, and then you have to throw it away as soon as somebody else starts wearing it. =)

And when it comes to the joshikosei in Tokyo and their boyfriends, it seems they are all driven by a constant need to reinvent trends (atarashi zuki?), so saying that something is not "in" at the moment in uraharajuku, daikanyama, shibuya or ebisu doesn't really say all that much. The more creative youth cultures in Tokyo are perhaps the least brand loyal consumers in the entire world - at least when it comes to newer brands. However, many of them look to japanese celebrities for inspiration, and many of the japanese pop idols look to western celebrities so....it all goes round in circle, I suppose.

whats `apee`? shut the fuck up. you dont know shit.

--- Original message by MilSpex on Nov 3, 2005 04:37 PM

Is this the sound of not giving a shit? You just got owned.

Got my t-shirt in 5 days (in Japan). Pretty good really. Although they did mention in the news section on their site that they are starting to find it difficult to keep up with orders though...

I came across this the other day. It's like an hour long or something but worth a listen. Kind of reminded me of stuff that Dexter was doing a while back bit this goes beyond this.

DJ Food- Raiding the 20th century

blurb I found on another website:

'Everything Has To End...'

"On January 18th 2004, Strictly Kev premiered the original 'Raiding The 20th Century' on XFM's 'The Remix' show in London. It was a 40 minute attempt to catalogue the history of cut up music - be it avant garde tape manipulation, turntable megamixes or bastard pop mash ups. It rapidly spread throughout the web and managed to cause a full scale server crash on boomselection.info when they hosted it due to the volume of net traffic.

Shortly afterwards he read Paul Morley's recently published book 'Words & Music' and was amazed that certain chapters mirrored parts of his mix. Apart from the fact that the title, 'Raiding the 20th Century' was coined by Morley 20 years before for a future Art of Noise project, he also featured Alvin Lucier who - purely by chance - was sampled on the opening track of the mix.

Kev decided to expand his idea to make the defnitive document on cut up music including many other parts, omitted by the constraints of the original radio session. After months of further research he tracked Morley down and they recorded passages from 'Words & Music' specially for this mix in an attempt to marry the two and finish something that neither of them actually started. A year to the day of the original airing, the newly expanded version is ready."

Wow, I didn't think I could like this guy less...

and then I saw him skating.

use a match to get rid of that stench

Because the girls won't go near you in your own country. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZING!

Wow, http://www.voipbuster.com looks pretty good, but it doesn't seem compatible with mac...

Last time I checked skype was 2 yen a minute or thereabouts...

I use it, and I recommend it!
