Spotted this down on Everett and 15th….Not sure who pasted it up, but it gets a gold star in my book.
Remember this little ditty? What an idiot….
Hecklewood’s Muxtape

I haven’t posted a playlist or podcast for a while, so I thought I’d throw up a Muxtape I just put together….some of my favorite funk and break-beat jams….Check out the playlist below.

TANNER wallet drop - Spring ‘08
April 23, 2008 – 5:36 pmThe new TANNER wallets just went live on our online shop, with some updated styles and a few completely new ones….like every other TANNER product, every wallet is made from premium leather here in our workshop in NW Portland. Our latest release builds on our signature utilitarian form, and adds a few key details + additional options.
First is the Coin Pouch. Two mirrored pieces snap together to form a pocket-friendly compartment for all your loose change. Small, slim, and symmetrical; it’s the perfect companion for subway patrons and nickel-slot addicts alike.
Next is the Basic Cardholder. This new style features a minimalist, sleek design perfect for the grab-and-go lifestyle. This is a great companion for a night out when all you need is your liscence, credit cards, and some cash.
Redesigned for this season is the Utility Bifold. We’ve stayed true to our simplistic form, but added a couple extra card slots this time around….utility meets efficiency for the every-man.
Another new addition is the Workman, combining classic work-wear style with an Easy Rider mentality. This wallet features multiple card slots as well as two cash pockets and bulletproof construction.
Finally, we’ve added a new style lanyard - the Tether. With a hardware update, you can use it for attaching your keys or tie on the Workman wallet.
Supa Sale
April 21, 2008 – 12:25 pm
The blog has been a little quiet lately while we’ve been prepping the new season, new website, and lots of new projects coming soon. How soon? Sooner than you think. In the meantime, we’ve marked down most of what’s left from last season to 50% off. It’s a deal, it’s a steal….it’s the sale of the century. Ok, maybe not…..but act fast cause in most cases there’s only one or two of what’s left in each size.
Stay tuned….we’re about to blow the doors off.
Pitchfork TV
April 8, 2008 – 10:41 amHooray! Music snobs elitists are dancing in the streets! Pitchfork has launched their own TV channel, and it’s online!
All kidding aside, I have to say these guys did a pretty stellar job with content, presentation, and overall quality. Here’s a couple videos of HECKLEWOOD studio favorites Jay Reatard and hometown homies The Thermals. Both are two of my favorites to see live, and the videos do a pretty good job illustrating. Congrats, you now have a favorite online time-waster.
South of the Border
April 7, 2008 – 1:17 pmThis winter has drained every last bit of melanin from my already pasty-white skin. Luckily, my sister decided to get married in Mexico and Adamnasty and I decided to get 2nd degree sun burns and drink a lot of tequila. Problem solved.
Here’s a few random pics from our trip….
Pure Genius
March 31, 2008 – 11:10 amI’m embarrassed to say that it’s taken me this long to watch SOUTHLAND TALES, the latest film by Richard Kelly….partly because I’m lazy, but mostly because of the cast. I finally bit the bullet this weekend, and wasn’t disappointed. Kelly’s first film, DONNIE DARKO has risen to cult status level and I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if SOUTHLAND follows suit….
Just to give you an idea of the serious satire punch this film packs, here’s a fake commercial for the new generation of alternative fuel vehicles….
I still wonder though if the all-star cast of B-listers in SOUTHLAND realize they are part of the punchline?
What happened to LL COOL J?
March 26, 2008 – 3:47 pmAfter listening to bunch of my old mixtapes lately, I’ve racking my brain trying to figure out how LL Cool J could go from greatness to absolute shit in one year…Who flicked the switch on this guy in ‘91? In memory of the pre-FUBU LL, here’s some of my videos of his before he turned ridiculous.
Now go watch clips of “In the House” and as yourself what the fuck?
Regression
March 25, 2008 – 9:54 amIs this what it’s come to? Has experimental/electronic music finally hit rock bottom? If Dan Deacon teetered at the edge of a cliff overlooking the insane with Crystal Cat, Excepter took a running start and dove headfirst into Retardedville.
I bet it was probably pretty easy to convince their little brother to edit this thing in his 3rd period Video Productions class…..Kudos Billy!
Psychadelic Freakout
March 24, 2008 – 12:50 pmMy favorite part of putting a collection together is gathering inspiration before I get down to the nitty-gritty…..and since I’m knee deep in designing the fall/winter ‘08 graphics, I thought I’d drop some hints to the direction of the line….here’s some of my favorite vintage psychedelic clips…
Is your mind blown yet?
