Mod to Suedehead

New Rhoda Dakar album is out and it's really above my expectations. Classic reggae/ska/rocksteady versions of pop and rock songs done right!

Soz for the double post, but I'll be staying in London next July, do you have any subculturally significant places for me to visit? Can be shops, pubs, museums, clubs you name it.

If your musical tastes go early enough and you are able to go far enough from the centre, there is the Eel Pie museum. No idea how good it is but I am staying near it soon so intend having a look.

Brilliant, I adore Patsy Cline, and Rhoda. When I traveled as a kid I had a handful cassettes. Patsy, Toots and the Maytals, Bob Marley, and the Vandals was played most often.

I thought the fella in the video was Chico Buarque at first

Carnaby Street and Soho were the haunts of the original Mods, It's been a good twenty years since I last visited "The Smoke" but there are shops like John Simons' and clubs like Ronnie Scott's still in business as far as I know.

History - John Simons

Timeless Style Since 1955 With a career spanning over six decades, John Simons’ contribution to British menswear remains unparalleled. Beginning his career as a window dresser for the illustrious Cecil Gee in 1955, John soon graduated to trading independently from market stalls across London...

The subcultural experience in London is very anaemic these days, places like Camden Stables.

Can't be worse than Wallonia mate!

Neat collar

Bought one of those Beach Boys style BDs for the summer.
Hollister (removed the pocket with logo)
'Made in Vietnam', which is weird, because I thought 'Charlie don't surf'

 

[Thin White Duke]

I like this Inkss. And well done for removing the pocket I also do this whenever I can.
I get the Beachboys reference - with narrower stripes it also puts me in mind of Bond visiting Largo at Palmyra in Thunderball.

 

[Swampster]

Currently wearing a Norse Projects nonBD with narrow stripes. I am finding cotton and linen shirts more comfortable in warmer weather than polo and t-shirts. I think it is the feel of the collar.

 

[Reggae Mike]

These are interesting. Can get over the selvedge though.

Been after a 'Milestones' green BD for a while. Found a Made in England St Michael one for sale and bought it. Unfortunately not flat green oxford, but a sort of tonic-ish/sharkskin.

It'll do for now.
