Available only at the World Character Convention 21,this extremely limited Kaws Companion ‘Pushead Version’ was the secret item. More colorways coming in the coming months. These came out Saturday and are going on Yahoo Japan Auctions for over $1000. Fuck. I’ve amassed these photos from across the web, my apologies to those I stole them from.
I picked up this guy today.
I was reading Gauv’s journal and he has links to an sadly troublesome story…
Freedom in Afghanistan, say goodbye Taliban
Free elections in Iraq, Saddam Hussein locked up
Osama’s staying underground, Al Qaida now is finding out
America won’t turn and run once the fighting has begun
Don’t you know that all this means…
Bush was right! Bush was right!
Read about it here.
From HitsDailyDouble.com: Victory Records chief Tony Brummel is on the warpath regarding Apple and the company’s iTunes policies. Brummel tried to negotiate a deal with the service but was unhappy with the terms, particularly Apple’s refusal to approve a one-year term contract.
Brummel fired off another of his infamous e-mails, this one to Apple’s Alex Luke. Some of the juicier excerpts follow: “The inflexibility on your side is mind boggling. This is art, if you have not forgotten. Do you think Michelangelo punched in and out when he painted the Sistine Chapel? Music consumers would look at your tactics as worse than those employed by the major record companies. I am surprised that Apple operates in such an authoritarian manner when its public image is that of a company run by creative types.
This “take it or leave it†stance is anti-entrepreneurial, anti-creative and anti-American…My staff and my artists are asked every day why Victory’s content is not on iTunes. When the explanation is given, people understand why we are not in business together. In fact, it bothers them. The power of word of mouth is undeniable, especially in the age of the Internet. It may take awhile to resonate but when it does, people typically react accordingly…I passed an olive branch. Instead of embracing it, you whack me in the face with it. This is bad business and sets a very unfortunate precedent. iTunes is not providing the public the alternative that it claims to be.â€
