My girlfriend and I were watching Project Runway last night. If you are familiar with the show they always have a challenge where they send the contestants to explore NYC and gather photos that will then inspire one of their designs.

One of the contestants, Terri, took a photo of what looks like a newspaper box covered in stickers. I think she purposely took it blurry (or maybe they didn’t want to give us the press), but there was def a big streak of magenta in her final dress.

I am not one to point out everytime a celebrity wears one of our t-shirts or a sticker shows up on TV, but I thought this was pretty cool!

Big Ups to the Mishka Street Team. Word!

Needless to say that Sorry, Ghettoblaster! stands alone in it’s genre and holds it down for Poland.

BRRRRRAP!

Mishka - Office & Store tour - Brooklyn, June 2008 from DigitalGravel.com on Vimeo.

We’ve done plenty of Interviews over the years… some print, some videos. I must say after a while the novelty really wore off especially when the same questions kept being asked. Now I’m obviously being a bit partial here, but when Greg showed me this Digital Gravel video done while I was away I was skeptical at first, but it actually was really well done, funny and most importantly really fun to watch!

Props to Nima and DG for putting this together and dropping by while he was in NYC a few months ago! Those of you curious as to our day to day and offices, well then here you go! I apologize for the mess though, we only just moved in recently!

I can’t believe how charming, interesting and funny this video makes Greg seem…

I’m just kidding of course!

DESTROY THE WORLD!

Two weeks ago we had the pleasure of receiving an email from no other than Iggor Cavalera. For those who don’t know who that is, he is the original drummer for Sepultura, one of the heaviest to come out of Brasil and destroy the world!We were cordially invited to go see the new Cavalera brothers project, The Cavalera Conspiracy at Irving Plaza. Little did I know that they not only did all of the Sepultura hits but also new material from their album Inflikted. Pretty sick!After meeting the band we rolled with Iggor and his wife Layma to their DJ gig as MixHell at Webster Hall. It doesn’t get better than a husband & wife throwin’ down bangers accompanied by live drumming and mpc!This whole two day experience (as we saw CC play twice) and the Mad Fools In The Park show made this one of the most fun weekends I’ve had in a while!

Metal Pit!

My apologies for the crummy iPhone photo, but it’s all I had on me when I came across this entertaining alteration to an advertisement for Three 6 Mafia’s latest release, Last 2 Walk. The Hypnotize Camp definitely stays in steady rotation here at our office, which is coincidentally located amongst the Hasidic population of South Williamsburg. It seemed fitting for me to post this on the bloglin, and for those of you that can’t get enough of everyone’s favorite “satanic rap group” (<<< epic lulz), here’s one of my favorites…

Well Ty did it. He joined the same club Mike Jones did a few months back. The “job stoppers” and “dirt bag” club.

This is Ty’s first tattoo. I think everyone at Mishka has a tattoo, and we all love ink, I just dont support whoever the artist was giving a 19 y/o his first tattoo on his hand. It just not, um, cool..

I dunno, I am def not that one to judge, and at least it looks good! Check Ty out at the Pop-Up Shop if you want to see. At least now he can from the hand up his arms, when most of us go the other way.

We’re excited to introduce an innovative new feature on our website that allows fans of the brand to individually design their own apparel.

By visiting The Custom Shop, buyers can personalize some of their favorite Mishka shirts, ranging from the color of the shirt and graphic, down to the label which will bear the name of the designer. With just the color variations alone, there are over 140 unique combinations that can be achieved.

Starting with the iconic Death Adders Inc.
shirt, one new style will be launched on a monthly basis, making the individually designed apparel even more limited.

We’ve always prided ourselves on following the beat of a different drummer, and with this new program we’re encouraging our customers and fans to inject their own personal touch into our designs. It will cost $39.99 per custom shirt and approximately 3-4 weeks for delivery stateside, 4-6 weeks for international orders!

The Custom Shop runs separately from our normal Webstore. You will need to create a new account for it and items stored in your shopping cart from our Webstore will not transfer over into the custom shop. Buyers will have to make two separate purchases if buying something from the custom shop and our Webstore. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Now if we were all to always to judge an album by it’s cover we’d all miss out on some great music. Take Lubricated Goat’s Paddock of Love… on first glance you’d probably think this has got to be some god awful bar rock band from Long Island’s self produced LP. Or maybe, just maybe you go out on a limb and guess they’re some shitty Psychobilly band in the vein of the Meteors. Thankfully none of the above is true!

Lubricated Goat, are… I don’t know semi-obscure I guess? They’re from Australia (where all good things seem to come from) put out three great records on Amphetamine Reptile records in the late 80s-early 90s, all of which are unfortunately out of print! Now the reason I love Lubricated Goat so much is that they so seamlessly combine the influences of 3 very different yet very similar bands all of whom I love. The free flowing noise assault of Scratch Acid/Jesus Lizard Scratch, mixed with primal sludgy rock of Pussy Galore and just topped of with a healthy heaping of The Birthday Party’s all-around weirdness. If I had to make a perfect Frankenstein with only 3 bands, these would have been the three I’d choose. Thankfully though Lubricated Goat already exists so I don’t ever have to wonder “what if…”! I highly recommend you check this album and band out even if you’re just a casual fan of any of the bands mentioned above!

Lubricated Goat has two other fantastic albums, Plays the Devil’s Music & Psychedelicatessen . However Paddock of Love is just my personal favorite and perfectly balances the rawness of their debut with some of the more (albeit little) commercial sensibilities they introduced on their final album!

Lubricated Goat - Paddock of Love

As an added bonus here is footage of Lubricated Goat preforming In the Raw on Australian TV’s Blah Blah Blah completely naked.

Man, I just know Lubricated Goat was the type of band that probably never played a bad show in their life! Too bad I was never able to see one!
