The chic fashion site JC Report has recently talked to Hardy Blechman, the founder of maharishi and MHI. Blechman has been way ahead of his time by combining sustainable materials and unforeseen technical solutions in the brands’ collections for over ten years now while the rest of us have been sitting in content on our fat asses covered with cheap sweatshop rags.

“Maybe lies are the new way to hustle, it works in politics, fuck it….right?….right??? Wrong.”

There’s a recently made interview of Andrew Lee (Invisible:man) for you all to read at Black Lodges, an awesome site held by Steven Vogel, the author of “Streetwear The Book”. Previous features on BL include Henry Rollins, Gorilla Biscuits, 13th Witness and Gavin Watson et al, all well worth the read.

Some I:m tees still left on sale to grap at our store.

Pingstate book

Pingstate - Art of a Visual Community, Book 1 is out and NOW available at Mashmarket! All hail Finnish eye candy!

Hip-ster alert, you faggoooots!

Mashmarket is proud to be one of the few selected stores in Europe to stock Kid America Club goods. Stay tuned for their new t-shirt line, which will be available soon.

So what is this shit anyway?

To put it short, Kid America Club is a general joint fuckery arranged by various Downtown New York faces like A-Ron (ex aNYthing impresario), artist Dash Snow and actor Leo Fitzpatrick in the past few years. The most tangible outcome of these actions is a comedy show, which could be described as a twisted parody of kids TV shows, where several off-the-chain cartoon characters get fucked up with just about anything related to “urban youth culture”. Think of it as the muppets once they grew up and discovered booze, drugs and girls. You should most definitely grab sum of those yourself and tune in to their shows found on their site. Besides providing a true cathartic moment for all those immersed in the over-saturation of coolness today, Demurgatroid, Lord Plek, Fat Spiderman, Caruthers, Big Wacky, Clyde Abdeptor, Spock 2 et al will make you whoop and even pee just a little bit.

In addition to the TV show, the K.A.C. gang has also released an album entitled Revenge of the Clubhouse with the helping hand of the legendary producer Dante Ross. The album, according to Pitchfork, “qualifies as avant-garde in today’s underground rap wasteland.” Wow! Listen to some sample pieces on their myspace and act like you know.

And yeah, as mentioned, they make t-shirts too.

Sorry everyone, this post is for Finnish locals only…

Keskikesän yöttömien öiden kunniaksi haluamme pistää jakoon erän Lord Neniksen (nine 2 five records, top billin’ jne.) ja Varaanin (we got beef, lostari, erottaja jne.) tekemiä kesäpaitoja (kuva). Jotta anteliaisuudellamme säilyisi joku roti, on paidan saamiselle asetettu pieni ehto.

Painoimme kasan käyntikortin muotoisia miniflaboja toukokuussa, jonka jälkeen olemme tiputelleet niitä ympäriinsä. Flaban toiselta puolelta löytyy Mashmarketin logo ja toiselta puolelta seuraava Ghostface-lainaus:

Alkuperäisessä kortissa kyseisen tekstin kirjaimet on kuitenkin väritetty. Jos olet ollut tarpeeksi valveutunut ja poiminut kortin matkaasi, lähetä siinä pelkästään MUSTALLA painetuista kirjaimista muodostuva teksti, yhteystietosi ja sinulle sopiva paidan koko meille sähköpostitse (hello@mashmarket.com), niin paita lähtee sinulle välittömästi ilmaiseksi postiin. Häp!
