GNARLES BARKLEY
James Mercer has been doing plenty of house cleaning with his indie band, The Shins, by replacing the bassist and drummer for “aesthetic reasons,” but it is his upcoming collaboration with producer extraordinaire, Danger Mouse, that has the music industry on pins and needles. Danger Mouse, real name Brian Burton, first met Mercer backstage at Denmark’s Roskilde festival in 2004 and “wanted to do something with James, no matter what.” After years of numerous projects and separate album releases, the duo have finally come together to work on their newest venture, “Broken Bells,” which, as of yet, is only a proposed nom de plume despite a new website featuring the aforementioned band name.
The Jean Shop
Well I have a favorite belt, yes I’m blogging about a belt. I’ve had this belt since college and trust me that was many many years ago. Anyway, The belt is worn in just right. It's a dark brown heavy leather belt which has been worn to a point where the belt now looks light brown and weathered. It's just beautiful and perfect. The problem is, it's torn in the back and now my lovely belt needs a replacement.
I was at the Apple store on 14th street and walked the block for a cab and passed by the Jean Shop. This place is amazing. Jeans and jackets hang on the wall in all shades of leather and denim, belts and shoes in display everywhere. They offer any style, color, wash - whatever you like in jeans.
