MUSIC TO WATCH WAVES GO BY
If I had a time machine next to the water cooler, I’d nip out to a quiet beach in Ibiza circa 1978 with D and take this mix with me as a present to the natives. I’m sure they would appreciate it.
COME OUT AND PLAY
I’m serious though.
I can’t be bothered posting yer average runway look anymore.
After the jump more of the swag & stance I’m feeling for A/W 09
DOWNLOAD: MAJOR LAZER – KEEP WATCH MIX VOL. X (MISHKA)
Dudes from Mishka are on point. Their always awesome Keep Watch mix series continues with a new Major Lazer mix and a T-shirt to match.

CATWALK SOUNDTRACK: CHRISTIAN DIOR COUTURE FW09
The word “outré” isn’t used that much any more, even in Paris Couture show reviews. Shame, really. Let’s be thankful for Mr. Galliano for bringing sexy back to the haute couture madness. The Dior AW couture show was one of the highlights of the season in my book. Time to post the soundtrack.
