Looks like one of our BECK T-Shirts was used in BECK’s latest video! This man is probably crying because he was unable to keep the T-Shirt after the shoot was over. We were also mentioned in VOGUE MAGAZINE because of this, which is pretty special. Check it all out below. Special thanks to @Schuperb!

We’d like to thank everyone that came out to celebrate JOHN HOLMSTROM and AID MACSPADE’s HEP CAT Tee Shirt launch last Friday. The official “John Holmstrom Dressing Room” is now open for your enjoyment as you can see below!
JOHN and AID signed anything and everything available and a great time was had by all! DJ DREW REDMOND kept the music going while the drinks were flowing. We even had a surprise appearance by MONTE MELNICK, famously known as the RAMONES longtime, long-suffering tour manager and author of the book ON THE ROAD WITH THE RAMONES, which, coincidentally, is featured on the walls of our new dressing room in several editions.
We’ve really missed having events and now with our new location on Broadway, we finally have the space to make it happen in a big way. Stay tuned for more in the future!

Have you watched the new WU-TANG docu-drama yet? We’re proud to have a hand in things as they came to us for some vintage ’90s clothing to set the scene properly. Staff member and #1 Wu-Tang fan Larry remembers it well: “Oh my god. Carhartt, like the button down style. Polo stuff, a lot of Polo stuff but not out of the box. Nothing crazy. If you see any generic Polo on there, it’s ours. Polo collared shirts, they bought a few of those. Nautica. Anything Nautica on the show. A lot of colorful stuff.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Yes, British singer James Bay’s favorite music T-shirt is of the Rolling Stones, but the one he wishes he had? Aretha Franklin.
“Somebody asked the other day, ‘What’s your greatest influence of all-time?’ … I can’t see how it’s not Aretha,” Bay said while shopping at a vintage store with hundreds of music T-shirts plastered around the walls. “Since I was 16, I religiously listened to Aretha Franklin. And I feel (expletive) inspired by what she does.”
Instead of calling her the Queen of Soul, the rocker calls the late icon “the Queen of Music.”
“People talk about greatest singers of all-time (and) people talk about Frank Sinatra (and) Frank Sinatra’s phenomenal, but honestly, how does he hold a flame to Aretha?”
Unfortunately at Metropolis Vintage in New York City, there’s no Aretha in stock — “just can’t find a vintage Aretha T-shirt,” the owner said — though Bay walks away with a shirt featuring the cover of the Beatles’ “Let It Be” and a bright red Keith Haring tee
As he sifts through the collection, he notes other influences as well. Seeing Kurt Cobain’s face on a black tee, he says: “Of all the artists that have iconic looks, his is like, ‘I bleached my hair.’ He’s so cool.” R&B star Maxwell is called “amazing!” and seeing Janet Jackson reminds him that a good friend is going to the pop star’s new residency in Las Vegas this week.
Several T-shirts featuring the Stones hits home with the 28-year-old singer: “Last summer we opened for the Stones. And Ronnie’s been onstage with us.”
“Keith is cool. We’ve hung with Keith a few times. He’s a good dude. He doesn’t say a lot, but he wants to hang. He’s brilliant,” Bay said.
