It’s been a rough first half of the year. Malcolm Mclaren died yesterday. He was 64. Though he will undoubtedly be best remembered for his work as manager for UK punk rock act The Sex Pistols (and slightly less for his role as impresario for the red-patent-leather-commie era New York Dolls) his contributions to fashion, music, and popular culture could quite plausibly be described as “immeasurable”. Nearly everything Mclaren touched has influenced the work we do here at Riot Style. To say that Jamie Reid, Vivianne Westwood and Malcolm Mclaren are our style and design forebearers would be an understatement. They brought art to terrible music, and music to terrible art. They brought situationism to the mainstream and the underground to market. We would go so far as to say we ripped them all off… Viva cash. Viva chaos.
As a tribute, Here’s part 1 of a two part video interview SUPREME conducted with Malcolm as a part of their Spring / Summer 09 collection based on the Duck Joint / Buffalo Gals / Duck Rock era work of Mclaren, Keith Haring and the world famous Supreme Team DJ crew.

Some things are so insanely over-the-top nerdy that, try as you might to hate, even if it is a viral marketing stunt, you have to respect them. *cough*Droga 5*cough*. Try hating on this video for more than 30 seconds. We dare you.
Chuck BB of Black Metal Comics counters:
[It is not cool] if you consider they paid to have all the area closed off you know so they could do it without error.
Listen hot dog. Its not every day that you get to talk to a 109 time Eisner winner and reality tv super star

Our friends The Bronx are currently on tour with Every Time I Die in support of their self-titled album The Bronx (III). They’re releasing the record next week on their own label White Drugs. We’re running out of ideas for Friday Afternoon Fun so here’s the uncensored video Cav directed for Shitty Future off their last album The Bronx (II).
Another one from The Mule. The Damned played a special Halloween slot on The Late Show with Craig Ferguson performing Neat Neat Neat. That Captain Sensible can still wail. I guess this makes Craig Ferguson the Irish John Peel.
Treats kids. Its all treats.
