DOING ANYTHING TONIGHT?

Tonight sees the launch of a huge new club night in Manchester called Clockwork. The brainchild of two stalwarts of the city's club scene, this promises to be a night of quality music in a notably intimate venue.

What makes this even more exciting is that Pan-Pot have been booked to play in a rare trip to the north of the country! If you've got no plans at such short notice on a Thursday evening you should make sure you get yourself there and if you do have plans then cancel them because Clockwork is the only thing that people are going to be talking about this weekend anyway.

Tickets from here.

To get you in the mood you should prick up your ears to Joel's September 'Tropics' mix because its awesome.

AN OLD FRIEND

He told it how it was not how it seemed.
He was always there when you needed him.
His advice was always faultless.
And most importantly HE ALWAYS LOOKED GOOD!

WINTER GEAR

The nights have been drawing in for a while now so you should have your eyes fixed on the winter collections which are being released from all angles to make sure you can really impress down at the dancehall/gallery/fruit market.

This post only focuses on shoes and hats though I'm afraid.

First up is this simple headwear option from The Hundreds whose collections are becoming nearly as large as recent releases by Obey.

Another simple noggin-topper from the same collection has a nice military style logo incorporating a nostalgic motto of the brand.

We shadowboxers do have a soft spot for anything Mishka and their new additions are worthy of mention here. Death Adders for life.

Follow on so your feet don't get cold.

ARTwork

Here are a couple of relatively recent pieces of photographic sleeve art which work very well.
