• Palms are sweating as the release of the Мишка 2010 calendar draws near! Photographer Ellen Stagg has been generous enough to treat us to some outtakes over the last few weeks, including this smokin’ one of Bella Vendetta. Don’t forget to head to the Мишка flagship store on Thursday October 22 for the Calendar Release Party!

• Toilet Cobra and his brother Charlie traveled to Boston for the Black Dahlia Murder show at the Tweeter Center and did some karaoke with the band. Cobra included several photos which display Charlie’s plethora of emotions.

• The Keep Watch Tattoo Club keeps multiplying like mogwai. Check out the latest soldier, Steve Nunes. I think we’ve finally surpassed the Bugle Boy Tattoo Club!

• Trick r Treat was released on DVD. Check out my enthusiastic review here.

• There’s some fresh new goods at 350 Broadway from friends Actual Pain and Le Merde, as well as some new custom color NY New Era collabs with Cap City!

• Crook and Twerps! made their bi-annual trip to uncover the secrets of the Orient and to do some production work. Here’s part one and two of their adventure, and check out the Flickr account for even more racy photos. Most triumphant.

• And here’s some albums you can really dip your balls in: The Losing Feeling EP from No Age, Blue Record from Baroness, Absorbed in the Nethervoid from Claws, Childish Prodigy from Kurt Vile (with an A+!!!), and the self-titled from Gestapo Khazi.

• Even though Prolly gave it a F rating, his review of Gorgoroth’s new album drew in some passionate comments that are worth checking out.
