Our dear friend and singer/songwriter/soothsayer Kenneth Pattengale is back with his 7th full-length album entitled Speak!. The monumental record features a "tightly-knit collection of ten songs that exhibits the songwriter and film composer's ability to combine unique lyrical narrative and anachronistic voices to create a sound that is at once modern and referential", including a duet with Grammy® Award-winning producer & artist Joe Henry.

Tomorrow night at 11pm, Kenneth wraps up his Winter Residency at Hotel Café and is personally handing each attendee a free copy of his new album, Speak!.

Also, if you missed last weekend's live interview/performance on KCRW with host Chris Douridas, you can check it out here.

Japanese premium luggage maker, Porter, and Baxter of California have joined forces to create what is quite possibly the most handsome, and equally functional, dopp bag I've seen.

This limited edition bag is made with the signature Head Porter nylon material, which zips open to reveal three inner removable compartment bags, elastic nylon bands to hold travel essentials, and an outer zip compartment as well. The bag carries the traditional Head Porter woven label, here in a Baxter Blue color for the collaboration, with additional Baxter logo marks on the inside and blue nylon contrasts on the bags interior. The Porter x Baxter custom travel bag is made in Japan.

Included with the Porter x Baxter dopp are TSA-approved 2oz. travel tubes of the following Baxter groooming essentials:

» Daily Face Wash

» Oil Free Moisturizer

» Super Close Shave Formula

» After Shave Balm

» Daily Protein Shampoo

» Travel Shave Badger Hair Brush in Limited Edition BLACK

The Porter x Baxter limited edition custom travel kit arrives at Milkmade later this week!

To my delight, I received a much anticipated parcel from Japan, this afternoon -- the latest issue of Huge Magazine. Back in September, I was honored to be asked by HUGE's editorial director, Toru Ukon, for an interview for the current issue.

HUGE has become one of Japan's most influential style magazines for men and is renowned in Japan for its careful coverage of the wide array of styles that permeate street fashion. HUGE sets itself apart from other Japanese style rags by providing eclectic reportage on a mixture of street style and high fashion topics, focused through the wider lense of music, arts, & culture. HUGE is currently sold in metropolises the world over, including NY, LA, London, Berlin, and Hong Kong.

You can pick up this month’s issue of HUGE at Asahiya Bookstores Express on Sawtelle — there’s also a great feature on our neighbor & friends, The Stronghold.
