Six artists and six songs.
1.) Morrissey “Suedehead” - Probably (ok definitely) my favorite Morrissey song. I sing it at the top of my lungs every time I hear it.
2.) Drop Nineteens “Delaware” - This US band was from Boston, but it’s their song Delaware that I really love. I’ve never been a fan of Boston. Not really a fan of Delaware the state either, but this song is tops.
3.) Ride “Chelsea Girl” - Hi, i like a little something called “shoegaze.”
4.) M.I.A. “$20″ - This song has everything I love: heavy synthesizers, reverb, and echo effects.
5.) Iggy Pop “China Girl” - I like his version better than David Bowie’s. Something about Iggy’s version makes the whole thing seem a little dirtier.
6.) Wu-Tang Clan “Clan in the Front” - One of the best albums ever. Any genre. Any time period. Basically, I could have put any song in this spot.

Artist Alain Ket Mariduena is serving hard time for various graffiti related offenses. So, some of his buddies got together, created some original art/gathered old pieces to put up on the auction block to help support Ket and his upcoming trials. Visit SupportKET.org for more information and head to thewallsbelongtous.com for info on the auction/event. There’s a ton of stuff to bid on, most of it by your favorite artists including Futura, Barry McGee, Dalek, Haze, Shepard Fairey, and a slew of others.

Riding the coattails of the NBA Superstar collection, adidas is poised to release a similar series involving their Campus. This time, they give each division a separate treatment including camo, industrial, oddity, denim, outdoor, and white. I think this a step up from the Superstar series which was pretty much hit or miss (mostly miss). This one falls into the “hit” category a few more times. Personally, I’m really feeling the majority of this Denim series. Especially the Hornets one. I’ve always had a little place in my heart for those colors. No homo or anything. See the rest here.

Here’s a few Odds and Sods for your muggy Monday midday.
High Snobiety has a preview of the upcoming Fall/Winter 07 Adidas by Stella McCartney line.
M.I.A.’s new album Kala has leaked. Find it before the anti-pirates take it away.
Pat the Bat has been hot lately. Finally. Check the stats.
Lee Hazelwood has passed away. I’m not really familiar with his work outside of the stuff he did with Nancy Sinatra. I’ll listen to Slowdive’s cover of “Some Velvet Morning” as a tribute.
Nike SB’s keep getting uglier. (via Hypebeast and entirely our opinion, not Hypebeast’s)
