Our good friends over at Das Monk are having a sale.

Check that shit out, tshirts are AUD$25! That’s like 3 Euros or something.

The sale started yesterday but there should still be some choice cuts there. Check it out at www.dasmonk.com

Motorola have partnered with a lot of people to promote their phones, especially the RAZR. They even have Kanye West turning down a B&O in favour of a RAZR.

Now, I really dig Kitsune. It was their first two compilations that really turned me onto indie-dance and electro in a big way after a mate passed on a burnt copy. But I am not so sure that I would take my fandom as far as to get a Kitsune mobile phone. Especially when I have my eyes on the N95, the iPhone (natch) or one of these bad boys.

That said the Kitsune phone comes with some cool shit like the entire Kitsune Maison 5 compilation, wallpapers (yawn) and an unreleased (so far) Cazals remix. I really want to know what this damn remix is, fingers crossed it is something from most excellent producers La Mode. And when people ask you about your phone you can tell them it is from a relatively obscure record label in France.

As part of the release Kitsune are doing a tour of Europe starting with Digitalism headlining a show yesterday in Paris, then onto Lyon, Bordeaux and Toulouse… Wait a second! This isn’t a European tour at all, it’s a tour of France! Gildas and Masaya (aka Kitsune), AutoKratz, Guns N Bombs and the industrious David E Sugar will be present for all dates.

The phone is available for purchase through my favourite French retailer Colette. Check it. Oh yeah and check out Luke’s far more analytical post about Kitsune with mp3 action here.

Kind of…

So Cut Copy have released some new merchandise ahead of the release of their second single off of their long awaited album (due out in Feb 07). There are reprints of “Stereo” design shirts as seen at this year’s big day out as well as a new “Cutters” shirt and a “Hearts On Fire” shirt.

What surprises me about this whole thing is that they still have come of the Claude Maus shirts available which came out at the start of this year. They were limited to 90 shirts (apparently) and I jumped on them within minutes of Hearts On Fire coming out – there must be about 10 different people that I know who own these. Maybe I should stop hanging out with so many “Cut Copy obsessives” as they have been referred to.

Anyway jump on that shit before it sells out at cutcopy.net.

I was going to post the dj.dtar unsanctioned edit of Hearts On Fire here but it is total rubbish. He has basically thrown a shitty intro onto the radio edit. Get it on vinyl!

I can’t wait to hear the new album.

Totally not music related but I am crushing on Das Monk tshirts right now. So hard.

They added me on myspace a while ago and at the time I didn’t really take much notice because there are so many myspace labels out there but these guys are different. Well, I like to think so.

I ordered one of their stripey shirts today (as above), which should arrive on Monday I guess and Bec ordered the purple wolfman. We are teh awesome.

Check out Das Monk’s online store at www.dasmonk.com. Or if you want to see what we would have looked like if we had chosen shirts for each other behind the cut, because I know you were wondering.
