August 23rd, 2010: Jeepney Clothing

This stuff is dope! I received a package of T-shirts this week from Jeepney Clothing and I am hooked. They got really cool original designs and I'm hoping to build a bigger relationship with their company in the future, but for now I'll just be happy with my free Tees.

August 2nd, 2010: The Improper Bostonian

This week's pick of the week is Boston's best magazine, The Improper Bostonian. It's the number one directory guide for Boston nightlife and dining.

This magazine emphasizes the key reasons why WE LOVE THAT DIRTY WATER!

July 26th, 2010: V-Moda Headphones

V-Moda headphones are hands down the most fashionable headphones out right now. I came across them while DJ'ing with "DJ SCENE" @ The Boiler Room. I was fixed.. The sound is incredible, they're extremely comfortable and they're actually made to last..I'm hooked. DJ's I recommend you check them out at http://www.v-moda.com/headphones/crossfade.aspx ****************************************************************************************************************************************************

July 19th, 2010: Code Blue

Code Blue is an energy recovery drink that you drink at the end of a long night of boozing it up in order not to feel the effects the next day. I tried Code Blue for the second time last week, only this time it wasn't because I was thirsty. Instead, I spent a long night on the town celebrating the fact that it was a Saturday and I didn't have to DJ, which is a great reason to go out and "celebrate." This stuff really works; the next day I jumped out of bed without a hangover! It's all natural and tastes really good too. This is a must have especially for all my Bostonian booze bags out there! ****************************************************************************************************************************************************

July 12th, 2010: Orchard Skateshop

See more pictures of Orchard here.

Until yesterday, in my opinion, the only good shop for gear in the Allston/Brighton area was AWOL. Then I discovered Boston's newest hidden secret, Orchard Skateshop. I stumbled upon this place when I was going to pick up my DJ check from Wonder Bar and am glad I did! They have the largest selection of Tees I've ever seen around town and a really sick sneaker collection. In terms of brands, they have tons of different selections including my favorite, HUF. There's an indoor skatepark built into the store, so you can buy some new gear while watching kids face plant on their skate ramp! The 2nd floor plays host to an art gallery, so all in all Orchard is a pretty sweet deal!

Orchard Skateshop is located at 156 Harvard Ave, Boston, MA. [Map]

July 5th, 2010: Brooklyn Industries

When I am bored and have nothing to do, I spend money buying cool T-shirts. Horrible habit, I know. I tell myself when I'm on Newbury St I'm only going into either Karmaloop or Blvd. Well, now I've found a new account draining outlet - Brooklyn Industries. Their styles are sick and not too hipster! My style is simple, clean and not too loud - these shirts don't smack you in the face with huge obnoxious "look at me designs", but at the same time they definitely original and different with their choices. Check them out! This spot is located @ 337 Newbury St. directly across from Newbury Comics www.brooklynindustries.com
