We would like to give a big THANKS to our good friends at Uncle Magazine  for helping us get hammered the right way!

Friday night at Public Assembly, formally known as Galapagos, (we all remember Cut & Sewn’s epic Everyone Wants a Piece Party) brought good vibes, good people and excellent exclusive reading material.

Sponsored by New Rome, the night kicked off right with mix-masters Indian Giver. There wasn’t a single booty in the crowd that wasn’t shaking. Using a Girl-Talk minded mix, they spun their own original flavor with a very energetic guitarist, drummer and singer. Singing along with Bono takes cajones. Here’s a video quicky if you’re curious and feel free to download their sweet album, Taking It All Back: The Mixtape Album.

Closing the night was DJ Swaaan. He rocked the house, we danced until bedtime aka when our motor skills began to shut down.

So why were we there anyway? To celebrate Uncle Magazine’s launch of Issue II . To read it in full, click here.
In only a matter of days will you be able to get your hands on a hard copy. We assume you don’t want to have to look long for it, so here’s an answer to the savenger hunt.

If that’s not enough for you, put on Indian Giver’s Mixtape, load up the photo album of the night, and let the slideshow begin.

Your grandfather had the pocket-watch (Don’t Call it a Comeback nominee) and grandfather clocks (obviously). Your mom had Swiss-Army watches and the metal-banded, beginner-bling Rolex. Your annoying sister had the Casio calculator watch. You, what do you have? They say size matters, and in some cases, smaller is better. This is one of those cases. You, lucky you, have the ring watch.
Fashion is always calling for accessories like purses, necklaces, and shoes, but who wants to wear a silly key on a chain or Kanye’s new hideous Louis Vuitton shoe? These ring watches are rings and on top of that, they’re watches. That’s two birds, one ring. It’s the most practical thing you can put on your finger, outside of maybe a bottle opener ring, but that won’t tell you what time happy hour even starts.

Scenario: You’re in Hong Kong. You want to call your boy, Vladimir Putin in Moscow, right now, to tell him about a secret Matt Miller concert that may not have happened yet in New York. Your grandpa Morty, mom Carol, and sister Gertrude didn’t have the technology to answer that, but you do. Just throw on your rings and you’re more than set.
This is why I submit the ring watch as the first entrant to “Don’t Call it a Comeback,” our returning to the spotlight trend tracker.

Cut & Sewn hoodies scream, “Ask me where I got this hoodie!” This hoodie to your left is a Cut & Sewn original as worn by me, Lee Frank. Saying “karaoke kid” it begs the question, am I really a) a karaoke kid, b) like green and yellow shirts or c) maybe I’m just one of those kids that love kitchy, ridiculous clothing items.

Maybe with those silly glasses, you think c is the right answer. However, I am a monster on the microphone a. Although, I’d probably give half a point for b (green looks nice). Self-trained using Rock Band, I’ve been known to rock crowds like you rock a full-time job. Your next question, “Well then, what song do you sing?” My song, of course, is Rapper’s Delight by the Sugar Hill Gang.

With that in mind, I am often out in the streets wearing this hoodie. Like how it looks? You, too, could be rocking one looking just like this or even better, make your own hilarious phrase. Look below at what this hoodie won me recently, yum yum.

This watch is from TokyoFlash. TokyoFlash has tons of sweet watches, including one that uses LEDs to provide the background for the unlit time. Not only are they bling blang metal bands, but they’re obviously purely LED watches, with three ways of telling time, including binary (For realz). Only in Japan comes something this ridiculous and creative at the same time. From Geekologie.

Have you been interested in pills but you don’t like taking them orally? Try these. You just put these in your ears and you’re on the way back to health. Thanks to Dynah for sending this to me.

After the jump, some more photos. (more…)

Clipse, a hip-hop duo the Cut & Sewn crew likes has had quite the busy month. Putting out a fly new clothing like called Play Cloths and the Road to Till the Casket Drops mixtape is quite the achieving group.

My highlights of the mixtape include use of the Swagger like Us track a la Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, Yeezy, and T.I. for their own hot song (S.W.U.) Also enjoyable songs are Addiction and Feds Taking Pictures. Check out the mixtape here.

Play Cloths, their new line is street wear. Coming in with nice tees and hoodies, check their gear. Below will likely be their signature shirt as it’s already sold out, but my favorite is the Big Wheels tee.
