Whether or not you are in a band, the latest capsule collection from French label Surface to Air will make you look like you do. Fresh from collaborating with Justice, S2A’s latest collection with Kings of Leon is hitting the streets in January. You can peek the collection below and find in stateside at Barneys. The bandana will set you back about $104, and the leather jacket comes in at $1,994. Being mistaken for a smokin’ hott indie-rockstar? Priceless.

To commemorate the 15th anniversary of 55DSL, Señor Blanco hit the sidewalks and tarmacs with his new friend. Check out the little fella, only 1,555 in circulation. Get ‘em while you can at 55DSL stores, Kidrobot, Atom Plastic, and Yoox. Holidays are right around the corner, folks. I’ve been so good this year, can someone send one to me c/o URB?!

And speaking of ultra-hyped blog buzz, remeber last spring when a day couldn’t go by without some new leak, link or remix coming from N.A.S.A.? Must be something about these collective albums that get’s people so aflutter. N.A.S.A.’s been quite for the second half of ‘09, but now a video for “Spacious Thoughts” feat. Tom Waits & Kool Keith. The clip sticks with the same animation policy as the rest of the N.A.S.A. clips, this time directed by Fluorescent Hill and animation by Mark Lomond, Johanne Ste-Marie, & Jacques Khouri.There should be a DVD of this stuff coming sometime soon.

Who’d have suspected that the Black Keys-Dame Dash hip-hop project would become the buzzed about web meme for the end of 2009. We knew it’d be good, but not a day goes by without something new making the blog rounds. This latest video features Nicole (Nikki) Wray working out some melodies with Dan Auerbach.

The night began with some minor complications, such as trying to fix my dying camera. I arrived at The Wiltern and when I was escorted to my seat, the time window for taking photos was closed (first three songs).
