Co-Op Supply

A cooperative of influences and ideas curated by a group of friends, designers, innovators and visionaries creating textile and other mediums benefitting one man at a time with a goal of increasing ones wardrobe and homestead, in essence strengthening their supply, all for the purpose of finding a place in a more meaningful tomorrow not only for one man at a time but to encompass the collective community.

The LCD Soundsystem documentary Shut Up and Play the Hits will hit theaters across the U.S. on July 18 as a special “one-night-only engagement”. In addition to the list of theaters posted here, fans can “demand” a screening in their area via Eventful.

Shut Up and Play the Hits, which has only screened at film festivals thus far, chronicles the events surrounding the band’s final show at Madison Square Garden last April. It was directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace. The film is being distributed by Oscilloscope Laboratories, the production and distribution company of late Beastie Boy Adam Yauch. Before he died, Yauch said of the documentary: “It can be pretty clear when a band starts, but perhaps less so when it ends, or how it should end. In that sense, it’s brilliant of James [Murphy] to end it in such a definitive way.”

Oscilloscope and the Creators Project are running a contest to fly one person and guest to New York City for a screening plus a meet-and-greet with James Murphy. Details here.

warbyparker: STORIES FROM THE FIELD: Vijaya Laxmi’s shirtmaking business serves as her family’s primary source of income. When her vision began to weaken a couple of years ago, it wasn’t long before Vijaya had difficulty even threading a needle. There was nowhere for Vijaya to purchase affordable eyeglasses anywhere near her village and Vijaya had to rely on her granddaughter to help her thread needles. While her granddaughter was in school, Vijaya struggled to finish her work and it wasn’t long before Vijaya’s customers began sourcing from other seamstresses. In September, VisionSpring visited Vijaya’s village. She received a free exam provided by a Vision Entrepreneur and found a pair of glasses that she could afford. Immediately Vijaya was back to sewing 10 shirts a day, reducing the burden on her family and restoring her independence. — For every pair of glasses we sell, we distribute a pair to someone in need. We do this through non-profit partners like VisionSpring, who provide glasses and training to people in developing countries to start their own businesses selling glasses. These Vision Entrepreneurs directly impact people like Vijaya.

—JUMANJI Prod. By HUDSON MOHAWKE & NICK HOOK

At this very early point in her young career, Azealia Banks is becoming known more for a flurry of self-imposed drama (starting random beefs, announcing and then shelving releases) than the songs she’s released. But the most interesting thing about “Jumanji”, from her new mixtape, is that it’s more about what’s going on around her. As these new tracks trickle out, we’re getting a chance to hear how her distinctive voice works in different settings. Here, her rapping really functions as the bedrock, the steady pulse for the production (by Hudson Mohawke and Nick Hook) to swirl around. It feels like something new could happen at any moment. It brings to mind the way Rustie brilliantly mixed rap new and old into his dense electronic productions on his recent BBC 1 mix—it’s an absolutely brilliant beat, bursting with possibility and exploding with color. And then, you know, in the middle of it, there’s Azealia Banks. She can rap.

loving this look so much right now!  such a great way to casually pull off a tie (plus this confirms my beliefs that anytime you wear a tie your shirt must be tucked in) 

StreetFSN pulled together the site’s best shots of a sartorial trick we call the tie tuck. Perfect for warm weather, the old school military or working man vibe looks particularly good with rolled sleeves. (For other ways to wear your tie, we’ve got you covered.)


boniverotica: When our neighbor’s foal was born unable to breathe, Bon Iver performed an emergency tracheotomy. He used his Swiss Army knife to puncture the little black creature’s throat and inserted a short length of garden hose - all he could find in the moments we had to spare. I couldn’t watch, but when I returned he was smiling, exhausted, ruffling the baby’s damp mane and accepting grateful nudges and licks from the mare. His thermal shirt would be ruined from the blood.

A good friend - Chris Espinoza - opened a barbershop in Portland last year called The Modern Man.  If you’re in town, stop in to get a straight razor shave (because you’re a man) and have a whiskey (that’s right, a man!) at the best barbershop this side of 1890.
