Music at the shop: Buzzcocks re-issue

On a recent visit to our neighbours Rotate This, Sydney picked up the deluxe re-issue of Buzzcocks' first full-length studio release Another Music In a Different Kitchen and we have been playing it at least once a day.
Aside from including the original album (an undeniably seminal punk/post-punk piece), this deluxe version includes the associated singles, the full 1977 Peel Session, some demos and a live 1977 show at Manchester's Electric Circus.
An interesting little fact about the album title is that is was sourced from a collage work by the artist Linder, who was a radical feminist, created the famous cover art for Buzzcocks' single 'Orgasm Addict' and is worthy of a post all her own...

Coming Soon: Label Under Construction

Though we are thrilled about the selection we currently have in-store for S/S 2010, we can't help but eagerly look forward to Fall. One particular reason for that, is the arrival of a very special Italian line called Label Under Construction.

The designer, Luca Laurini is a very private and reclusive man whose attention to detail is astonishing. Recently, Planet Magazine was granted the opportunity to give Laurini his first ever interview—a must read!

"...Let’s say that I am doing something that is a cross between garment design, art, and architecture, things that are in the real world, my world.”
