Here at the ‘Toof we are always posting about music. Music this, music that. But there’s a whole mess of stuff we’re interested in, like cigarettes, cash, and clothes.

I’m sure you all know that the shirts from the Justice D.A.N.C.E. video were/are actual real life t-shirts, most created by So-me, their official graphic designer. Many of the super limited shirts featured in the vid went up for sale on Collete.fr shortly after it leaked. Almost all were immediately gobbled up by all the fanboys/fangirls out there.

There’s a few floating around on the ebay and wesoldout if you are willing to shell out the dough. Actually, the “Charlotte” shirt and the “Make It Right” shirt are still available for regular price at Sixpack.fr.

We love us some Justice and Ed Banger just as much as the next guy but we can’t justify spending hundreds of dollars for a shirt when we are on a permanent Top Ramen diet. Especially when there’s a gaggle of designers and shops out there selling affordable, high quality merch. Here’s a few of our faves:

The Suicide Shop

Top notch shirts created by RA909 of Electrik Suicide. His resume includes some big high profile clients such as Burton Snowboards, The Police and IDPure. We ourselves commissioned him to design one of our flyers.

The Hundreds

The Hundreds is Los Angeles crew who’s been running for a minute. They have a full online shop with denim, caps, and Tee’s for guys and girls. Cop a couple of these suave shirts, get you a pair of Dunk lows and you’re fitted. Their Courtney Love shirt is amazing. I’m thinking about getting me two or three.

Blacktooth

Blacktooth is the art site of talented artist Carey Haider who hails from Portland. Very hip selections here. Pieces are made in limited quantities. Get the goods while they last.

That is all the secrets i’m sharing today. If you guys got some down low shops where you get fitted that you don’t mind sharing post ‘em up in the comments.

Oh and just for the hell of it:

Kanye West joins Ed Bangers’ So-Me live in Hollywood

kanyesome Kanye West joins Ed Bangers So-Me live in HollywoodKanye West facing off with Ed Banger’s So-Me

Tonight Kanye West made a special appearance in the DJ booth, backing, of all people in the world, Ed Bangers‘ So-Me! This went down at Them Jeans and Steve Aoki’s weekly club in Hollywood, Cinespace (Tuesdays).

This is funny only because of Kanye’s previous, and now infamous, tangle with So-Me, Ed Banger Records, and Justice at the last MTV European Music Awards (2006). As you might know, Kanye West had a small on-stage melt-down when he lost the ‘Best Video’ award to Justice vs. Simian’s ‘Never Be Alone’ (a.k.a. ‘We Are Your Friends‘) and discounted the awards’ “credibility” even when he had no idea who Justice, Simian or So-Me was! If you’re not familiar: view Kanye West’s nominated video, ‘Touch the Sky’ on YouTube, then Justice vs. Simian’s winning video, ‘We Are Your Friends’ on YouTube. Now, remember the antics that ensued at the MTV Eurpoe Music Awards as Kanye West calmly insulted So-Me (Ed Banger art director) at the award ceremony. See it (again?) on YouTube! (It really doesn’t get old!)

Stubborn as Kanye West is, I respect him for sucking it up and embracing ‘Electro’, ‘French Touch’, ‘Dance Music’, or whatever you’d like to call it (it has so many names); He probably realized that this music that we love is taking over the world and he ought to jump on board before the world notices he isn’t sitting on the cutting edge! Before supporting So-Me tonight, he made big news by sampling Daft Punk’s 2001 club hit, ‘Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger’. This track made his current single—what a nice way to save face and show he is now with us and not against us! We forgive you Kanye! You did a good job (and I wasn’t even going to touch it cause it’s been blogged to death, but now I have to):

…and I still don’t believe him at all when he says that his DJ, A-Trak didn’t totally hip him to what’s going on in the underground in the collaboration with Kid Sister on ‘Pro Nails’. But, whatev, in the end, all that counts is that dude is on the track and it’s bangin’! If you’re not up on what I’m saying, get learned in the Kid Sister archives where you can hear ‘Pro Nails feat. Kanye West’ and more.

…I can’t hate on the dude. Props for making Mike Myers feel so damned uncomfortable while simultaneously making a damn poignant (albeit stuttering) social commentary. WTF am I talking about again!? See it on YouTube!

…and ’cause I really do like Kanye, try this sort-of recent funny mixtape freestyle over Rich Boy’s, ‘Throw Some Ds’ from earlier this year. The original was talking about rims, but Kanye flipped it into a track about plastic tittiez:

P.S. Spoon played in the other room of the same venue and was the main attraction. They’re kind of a big deal—I love Spoon and they need some more blog love too—but soon! Come baaack.
