You know which side seen. is on, right (if not: the upcoming shirt release will tell)? However, I just felt bored for a second and let Google Trends tell me about the (online) popularity of the two ever-feuding Jamaican deejays.
While I´m messing around with the navigation of our website (how does it look on IE btw?) and preparing our releases in spring (e.g. Afflicted Yard combination #02, Walshy Fire combination #01), the seen. family is invading the world.
Above you see my man Stefan who is chilling in NCY with his brother Decent Don (Everest Soundsystem) watching the Knicks playing the Pistons. Pictures from them visiting Mavado´s first live appearance in the States and Dizzee Rascal´s show in Brooklyn will follow.
In the meantime, Gabe, the master of graphics at seen., has moved to Kingston for another three months to collect material for his final design school project, help Peter Dean Rickards with FIRST magazine and of course pushing seen. another step forward. Last week he hit the ground and is now setting up his “little office” in downtown.

This quote from Shaggy´s “Rude Dub Wi Want” (Champagne International – VIP riddim) was Gabriel Heatwave´s Badman Commandment 8 out of 10 in Woofah #1 (series t.b.c. in #2). Don´t know though if badman are allowed to measure the time they don´t have to hesitate with a G-Shock (see “Rastafarian Pack” above) out of all things… (via High Snobiety, available here).
Uwe K., member of the infamous Roots Rockers Soundsystem from Munich, Germany, and a good friend of ours, send us some pictures straight from the beaches of Jamaica a few days ago. I´m kinda jealous but still wanna say thanks and wish him all the best for his upcoming solo debut which is about to drop this year.

Well, another John Eden rip-off post – but I gotta break the silence on this blog somehow …
On his Uncarved-blog, Eden today curses fashionistas – spellt F.e.r.g.i.e. – for making Dancehall-flyer tees unwearable. The not so bad shirt you see on the pic above, comes from a NYC-based downtowngoesuptownbrand called Clarendon which kinda seems to like Jamaican graphics. However,
they have loads of stuff on their site about which celebrities have worn their gear. And it’s not entirely clear whether or not they actually pay the original designers of the images for their work. (Uncarved)
I doubt that they actually pay any of the original designers – but in whose nose do those 55 bucks per piece end up then?
