Pwnage 2.0 just got released 1 hour ago

Update: Just to clear up some confusion over what this actually does: yes, it jailbreaks and unlocks older iPhones, and jailbreaks iPhone 3Gs and iPod Touches. We only support the 2.0 firmwares.

Unlock 2.0 ahoy!!

YOU GUYS RULE!!!

Recently was wondering what happened to DontBelieveTheHypeBeast and did a search, turns out the blog is apparently still going in the form of satchelofgravel.com.

Since the sites first incarnation, street wear in general has reached a critical state of self recognized embarrassment, crapping itself in public and being more for plebs than ever before.

In fact even the most deluded tubby white boys secretly realizing how wak they look in micky based designs, rap lyrics, bubble shoes and flimsy Supreme caps, so you’d think that the blogs humor would loose its poignancy in the face of obviousness in the subject matter.

Think again, it’s still great. And whats more the above mentioned satirical drought has caused them to compliment the content by pointing the same wit on flicks and music, resulting in awesomeness.

And here i was thinking i was alone in my disdain for mediocre ‘acts’ like Cool Kids, Kayne, MIA and the host of other trendziod hip-hopsters who produce banal music of no value outside of giving uncultivated audiences a banner to huddle under; and bang, this comes along and i feel revived.  Again, its a great blog.

Yep, we have a Facebook group. How 2008 is THAT. Get on it and say what’s up.

Don’t get left behind.

Also, for those who trawl Flickr in their downtime, all snaps from our events and enchilada eating contests can be found on our Flickr stream.

Technology, ain’t that amazing.

Popped into the Heist yesterday to snag a copy of Cog, and there are only a few left so be quick. A great read, covering mainly mid-western messenger crews and a small dip into the Keirin race culture. Lots of rad photos, and interviews (even one with Melbourne’s very own Fyxomatosis). Nice. These are free and are definitely collectors items. Spread the love, get a copy and support Cog!

I also popped into see Dan Shifter last night and he will have copies soon, too! Have a good getaway, bro!

Ok, Issue 1 of what is set to be the beginning of a long catalogue has just hit the blogosphere. We snipped this image from Trackosaurus Rex with much respect as Mr Kelley has a nice interview in this issue.

Great photography, a great read and it’s digital. Download your copy!

“I knew that when kids started playing basketball in $250 sneakers that America was finished”

Found this interview with Ralph Bakshi where he talks about his career making a stand against meritocracy. And also his opinions on art. For me its encouraging, at a time when we see street artists merging with the established art scene there seems to be allot of tension as the academic artists reluctantly give space to the emerging field.

Its cool to hear the opinions of someone like Bakshi to remind us that despite the tension and the potential benefits from the cross over, in reality established scene can get fucked. While we might not have their audience and the money that they are throwing around, we do have creativity, art and a strong culture. Which for all the long winded explanations and theory behind every piece that they sell, it is the one thing they’ll never have and at the end of the day the only thing that matters.

As a testimony to this view, while other studios cashed in on garbage, Bakshi’s career includes greats such as Fritz the Cat, Wizards and Fire and Ice.
