Here’s a special Eyecandy dedicated to the best of Instagram. #KNOTORYUSfilter

Before we gave you the full scoop, Mathieu of the newly baptised Case Studyo released a sneak peek of the Jean Pierre Le Douche sculpture.

Here’s the theme song, by the mighty LeLe. J’aime le mirroire et le mirroire m’aime la même!

Lords of Amsterdam Patta are a must-follow, not only because of their excellent taste, but also because you get a heads up about the new collection before anyone else. This Suckafree T-shirt is my favourite shirt of 2012.

We’re finally gonna see OFWGKTA this summer. Just booked the tickets. Hodgy Beats uses the alias @lordgnaw on Instagram and aside from pictures of Odd Future members on the toilet, you’ll mainly see awkward close-ups of his buttered up legs and funny stuff along the path towards world domination.

Nalden. This kid is going places. This is his pic of David Shrigley street art at 19 & 9th Avenue in New York.

Hey, we’re on Instagram, too! This is dominique_knotoryus on the set of a fashion shoot for De Standaard Magazine. Buy this Swash jacket today at RA, Antwerp.

Silly stuff we run into.

The Cobra Snake’s Instagram always cheers me up. This is Snoop Dogg and his breakfast pancake. Don’t follow him for celebrity watching, though. Most of his Instagram feed is taken up by hikes across the L.A. hillsides with budding models and socialites. The Cobra Snake’s mom is also on Instagram. She’s the one commenting ‘so handsome!’ underneath every single pic.

I miss Wooooo! Magazine. He’s still on Instagram, though. Posting weird stuff.

Big Boi’s son. Cuteness.

OK, this is cheating: these pics aren’t from Instagram, they’re from P.A.M. on Facebook. But they are way too good to miss out on.

Like their page and explore photo albums like ‘Friends (From Outer Space)’.

Django Django – “Storm”.

“You’ve taken all/ You thought was wrong/ You used it for the lyrics/ Of your favorite song”. I love that line.

Django Django will be on everybody’s ‘best albums of 2012′ list at the end of the year. Belgians: they are coming to Brussels soon. Check ‘em out at Botanique.

Also: great merch.

I’m probably not the only one why’s making the link between Django Django and Captain Beefheart. This ‘Diddy Wah’ + phone interview from 1966 kinda made my week.

Sébastien Tellier explains why being a prophet and a pop star is not mutually exclusive in a short by Guy Aroche for Nowness. “To be one person all your life is quite a shame.”

Comme Des Garçons Junya Watanabe Wing Tip brogues. A thousand dollars.

UNDFTD NBA Playoffs Shirt. Thirty dollars.

And a fun one to end:

Darq E Freaker feat. Danny Brown – Blueberry.

Only three hours ago, I was having lunch with Tim from our sister blog Ü and he told me he was on ‘The Frog’, one of the best songs on the new The Hickey Underworld album: the excellent ‘I’m Under The House, I’m Dying’. Tim’s riff is in there somwehere. Which is awesome.

Then he told me the video was shot with all-time KNOTORYUS hero Nicolas Karakatsanis, featuring Kim Peers and that it was weird and probably amazing.

Turns out, I didn’t have to wait long to see the actual results. The video just dropped. And yes, it is weird. And amazing. And Belgian supermodel turned DJ/Stylist Kim Peers is in it, puking and kicking ass.

Oozing from the minds of the same crew that’s responsible for the ‘Blonde Fire‘ video. Be sure to catch The Hickey Underworld live if you can. They are doing some out there next level set stuff with Afreux, the Antwerp design collective who helped KNOTORYUS out with the production of our Ü Eastpack collabo earlier.

Sébastien Tellier is taking his spiritual sexy crazy commune vibe to the next level with the new video for ‘Cochon Ville’ (roughly translated: Pig City). Apparently, YouTube banned it after less than 100 plays. And here’s why: you’ll see Monsieur Tellier in electric blue robes chanting over a disco tune, whipping the crowd into an erotic frenzy including slapping, choking, leg-licking and a full-on ball sack close-up at 2:03. Just so you know.

NSFW

OFF! doesn’t do three minutes. But somehow, director Richard Kern is able to take the one minute and fourteen seconds of angry awesomeness (including *gasp* guitar solo) that is ‘Wiped Out’ and cram it full of moshpits, heavily breathing hipster girls, skate FAILs, surf FAILs, chubby kids french kissing and good ol’ punk rock shouting.

Hmm…

Above: Christina Ricci in ‘As It Lays’, an art interview (whut?) series by Alex Israel for Purple TV.

Looking forward to ‘Girls’, the first TV series by Lena Dunham, produced by Judd Apatow. It’s about twenty-something girls in New York, but not in the LastNightsParty kind of way, more in the Woody Allen constant existential crisis makes it funny kind of way.

Skater Girls by Petra Collins.

Kaws for Ikepod. Fourteen Thousand Dollars. Available HERE.

Five Handmade Insult Stickers by George McCallum. Five Dollars. Available HERE.

More Petra Collins, re-drawn by Evie.

Lisa Yuksavage is a new discovery for me. You’ll find her in the art catalogues under ‘hypersexual’ and ‘John Currin’.

Will!

This is Mr. Ben Venom. He makes metal quilts. I like Ben Venom.

As usual: a funny one to end. This is the best of Joan leaving rooms in Mad Men

It’s that pretty motherfucker with that psychic Canadian phenomenon Nardwuar, having a chin wag about repping Harlem, A$AP samples and a certain czechoslovakian muze.

(10:57 – *dies*)

Doot doola doot doo …

You’ve been warned.

Lots of NSFW material in this episode of Eyecandy Smörgasbord for some reason, so proceed with caution.

Bent Van Looy (frontmoustacheman of Das Pop) gets a guest spot on LeopardTreeDream, a Tumblr treat collecting designer Matt Maitland’s favourite LP covers. Want to know what kind of covers Bent gets lost in, sitting on an old rug next to his vintage stereo? This is where you find out.

Team Spirit – F*ck the Beach. Even describing the animation in this video would be NSFW. Lots of funny-looking critters performing funny business with earth girls and aliens alike.

[There is a video that cannot be displayed in this feed. Visit the blog entry to see the video.]

Nite Jewel -One Second Of Love. Super rich girls invite Bacchus and his dance crew over for a houseparty. Satanality ensues.

[There is a video that cannot be displayed in this feed. Visit the blog entry to see the video.]

OFF! is Keith Morris from Black Flag and lesser-iconic members from other punk bands. OFF! shoud be one of your favourite bands right now. This is how they recorded their new album.

[There is a video that cannot be displayed in this feed. Visit the blog entry to see the video.]

Moonbotica – Iconic. A day in the life of a druggie crew. Not pretty. Not safe for work.

Björk takes it to the microscopic level in ‘Hollow’. Great track, too. Directed and produced by Drew Berry.

Mojo reports John Peel’s record collection will be available online HERE. Soon. They’re also reminding the world of the great John Peel’s Record Box documentary, available on YouTube. I’m just passing on the good news.

I took Immi The Greatest to Paris Fashion Week & we kinda shouted a lot of offensive things at the sky which I am not going to repeat…

I had the best time even though I got chumped by the Regina Staff (best hotel ever btw, look at that view taken from our window-above pic)  into believing we were personally invited to the Chanel Show and the Chanel Afterparty (where I’ve would have firmly shaken hands with The Zahm, but anyway.)

Turned out the invitation was for another kid with a Y and an I in her name, so  obviously we kindly returned everything to reception because that’s what you do when you believe in karma. Hope you had fun LucyWithAnEntranceOnWikipedia, review please!

(above picture : Yes, that was slipped under the door too)

Having said that : really, Uncle Karl? And those Clochette Des Bois you sent up were beautiful. -We returned those as well, which in hindsight was a bit stupid, cos they probably died somewhere in a closet.

We did so much stuff in so little time, so I’m going to let these pictures speak for themselves.

Oh and hey, to all of you who welcomed me with your big hugs and smiles and gave me a brand new batch of inspiration : Ffffank you/Ü know who you are!

An A.V.E. (Allen Voor EEN) destroyer at F.F.I.  I want one so bad. Truly genius stuff and she is rocking it. (#Patta!)

We laughed so hard. And shrieked like we had just stumbled upon a two-headed Ryan Gosling/JamesFranco figurine. And then we laughed again.

Juërgen & Pedro!

Suzy Menkes repping with her Dell. Can’t get mad even if you wanted to.

I will never get tired of seeing these. Classic Immi Abraham.

The shoe & suitcase game.

Jean-Paul Lespagnard – The I SEE ‘EM collection!

We were fanning over belts, jackets, blouses, skirts, everything.

Yes, shoes LDN + the leggings.

This is KNOTORYUS at Colette. Thank you Ouni for not backing down on “pas d’photos”.
