Our friends at Obus are having a super special showing of their brand new threads for SS10/11 this week at their Flinders Street store. We don't want to give too much away, but all you lovely peeps who make it along throughout the week will be able to not only view the new collection but also try it on! There's a bit of an African theme going on, too. Whoo Zulu! Become an intrepid traveler.

Yes, we are the lost, in our hasty winter storage of all things thin, cottony, breezy and short-sleeved, our summer essentials are, lets face it, lost. Where did they go? I swear I put them in a really obvious place, where, come September, I would bring them out of hibernation. What's that you say? There's a new kid on the block when it comes to good simple summer staples? Tell me more! Oh, right, just head over to We Are The Lost? Done.

Ok, so we all know that bikes are a great way to get around town (or country or beach or desert). They are good for the planet, they keep you fit, they provide a great mode of transport for those who want to start their own BMX crew and, lets face it, some of them look pretty god damn cool. Well, if you're sick of riding around on your brother's old mountain bike, or your handlebars are corroded with rust, or your seat ceases to exist, we reckon you should check out Papillionaire. This is a site where you can customise your bike to order. Choose colour, style, detailing and more! The price might be a little steeper than something your found on the side of the road, but hey, it might just be worth it.

Belgium is responsible for giving us lots of things that we like. We can thank them for their waffle scoffing, boutique beer brewing ways and creating Tintin. However, there are things that come out of Belgium that aren’t related to opulent excess or curious comic book characters. One of them is Gaëtan Vandewoude, the lead singer of the Isbells.

The four-piece recorded their debut album in a stable in the Belgian woodlands, infusing the record with a soft twang and the scent of pine needles. There is a tougher edge to some songs, perhaps coming from Vandewoude’s past days as a guitarist for an emocore band. We’re not quite sure how he made the jump, but we’re very thankful for it.

Isbells’ self-titled debut album will be released in Australia on October 8th on Rogue Records through Inertia. If you can’t wait until then, you can grab a free download of  ‘As Long As It Takes’ here.
