Do you really wanna hold my dirty hand?

Cool blue skies melt into rich summer sunsets, whose deep palettes transition into the warm hues of early fall.

Wear these clothes and match the weather.

Listen to Black Lips and remember why you love it.

(As usual, this guy looks better on vimeo)

Handsome Furs are Awesome

Handsome Furs Dan and Alexei rocked New York hard last week.

Poster children for the hotness of marriage, these kids are famous for their knockout live shows. Their intense- and intensely sexy- sets at the Bowery Ballroom and Music Hall of Williamsburg did not disappoint.

They won't be back in NYC for a while, but you can find them all over youtube (for instance here)...

.....and, for a quick visual fix, check out the images below.

Oh yeah.... Mandate was there too :)
