It seems like Weekly Drop is dropping much more episodes and features lately than usual, which is great to see. After the very recent 3sixteen feature, they have now the 10 Deep episode up and running. They talk about with Josh and Scott about how long they have already been in the game and how they will approach the future. Definitely a must-listen.

With the growth of streetwear you also find more and more niche tradeshows that cater to the market more efficiently than the big players in the market. The latest in a series of new tradeshows to look out for is definitely United.
Taking place at the same time in Las Vegas as all the big shows, such as Magic/Pool, United opens its doors for the first time next week in the Alexis Park Resort in Las Vegas. The show is more personal, more targeted and concentrates on the people and brands. At the same time they deliver events around the show to complete the experience!
Brands showing at United include Stacks & Bundles, Rogue Status, Keep, Toy Me, Pharmacy and many others. You will for sure not be disappointed. We give you a preview of the brands, products and events that United has to offer.

Here we have some big news. French luxury goods company LVMH has purchased car maker Aston Martin. Speculations have been in the air for a while now and finally it has been confirmed.
It’s incredible to see these cross overs. Aston Martin is the first car company in the portfolio of LVMH and you can be sure to see some nice cross-over projects in the near future. The Louis Vuitton x Aston Martin is coming! Believe it!

Hopefully you have all already discovered our Columns, written by different people around the globe. Since there have been some great updates in there, we just want to make sure that you see them. Check regularly on the top right for the little “new” sign in order to know when they have been updated!
WoodWood had a Fall/Winter 07 preview in Berlin and reports about it on their LogLife Column.
Samia from Chicks with Kicks did an Interview with the designer/owner of Kiser NY. Also a must-read.

Atmos released two new version of the Mad Tempo and the Mad Witness. They come in premium leathers including croco and patent leather. They also applied gold and silver on the white sneakers, which gives them a real 80’s look.

For next season Rome Snowboards introduces their new boot line. Rome SDS is going to consist of five models (three for guys, two for the ladies), the boots feature customizable lines and progressive flex patterns that give enough play when you need it, but keep you locked down when the terrain gets hectic.
For this occassion they have also now dropped a limited run of 300 of these t-shirts. The tee’s will only go to select retailers. Look out for these and mainly the new bootline.

You need a new end table? How about an exotic centerpiece? Farm21 has you covered.  The cool thing is, their stuff can be whatever you want.  From art to functional, it can be both.  Sasha Sykes makes purposeful art that really has a cool feel to it.  Check out the blinds that bring more into a room than they keep out.  Or the sweet coffee tables.  I want her to make me one filled with Jamaican coffee beans, wow, that would be awesome!
My personal favorite is the “OLD FRIENDS THEY SHINE LIKE DIAMONDS TABLE”.  This thing has a look like it belongs in Bilbo Baggins living room or next to a 150 year old fireplace in an English mansion. 
Either way, check it out and buy something for St. Valentine’s day…

For those that like a nice piece of totally rad furniture, this is for you. Wendell Castle Collection lets you mix and match a ton of different options making essentially custom furtniture.  Everything from chairs, benches, dressers,  end tables, dining room tables, even picture frames.  I totally love the style, first, but then the options are  absolutely stellar.   Check it out.

Once again we can only advice you to listen to the latest episode of Weekly Drop. The guys got together with Jerry and Chace of Greyone to talk about the retail game, the new partnership with Soul Assassins and what Greyone has planned for the future.

Benjamin Gott, 1/3 the magnificence of The Brilliance, has done it again. In all his Grand Rapids splendor he has managed to create an all music-driven, unadulterated distribution site allowing the lowly musicians themselves the sole rights to their music while setting the prices, making most of the money and dictating all stages in between.  Gott has snatched the power from the hungry record companies and handed it back to the people who make the music. On his site, only days old, you can sign up as a musician or as a buyer and begin your quest to pure happiness. Enter INDISTR!
Just how powerful is independent music? Just yesterday the first unsigned, download-only band was listed in the UK top 40. Ben has perfect timing.
