If you aren’t already salivating over this PMJ04 Reversible Sailing Jacket based purely on the fact that it’s a sure shot Pendleton x Opening Ceremony collabo piece, then check the details: two very distinct looks for the price of one—allover red and blue plaid on one side, and a toned down, dark gray denim on the flip. And the jacket features a dope retractable hood in addition to the well-placed front pockets. The relaxed fit allows for creative layering options in the winter, but it’s also light enough for spring. Buy It Now…

Each day Complex scours the music blogs for 5 fresh songs that you should listen to in our 5 O’Clock Shuffle post. Instead of going crazy trying to keep up with your RSS feeds everyday, just head over to Complex.com to stay up-to-date on important leaks and releases.
It’s always exciting when the weekend rolls around, especially when there’s a gang of new tracks for you to kick things off with. Jim Jones and Fabolous dropped a couple mixtape joints. Maino came through with an official street single. We don’t know where the new Young Dro record came from but it might be the hottest of the bunch. Streams and download links are on deck as always. Check everything out below…
Unless you’re a 30-plus Luddite with children, 11:30 p.m. is a time for putting fireworks in the urinals of fancy restaurant bathrooms. But if you’re stuck on the couch gripping a baby monitor and fighting the wife for the remote and the fourth pint of Ben & Jerry’s, you might be a fan of late night talk shows, in which case you’re gonna love our Late Night Awards. This week Jon Stewart skewers the head tea-bagger, Jimmy Fallon makes even us uncomfortable, and Betty White fulfills our strangest fantasy…
If you’re peeling yourself off of the formica counter top of an unfamiliar restaurant in Austin, TX, and wearing someone else’s shirt, then you’re probably partying way too hard. You’re also probably going to need another shirt. Thank goodness you had the foresight to stash your credit card in your shoe before handing your entire wallet to a hot chick in celebration of her hotness because dude, you need to check out these menswear stores…
In last week’s column, our resident race-baiters bickered over Big Ben and Torii Hunter. For today’s Race Card square-off, Dark Man X and Whitey Ford argue about a coke-sniffing manager, God’s gift to the QB position, a laptop-stealing Duck, the Great Ukrainian Hope…and Eric Frimpong. Let the racial disunity begin!
Dudes rocking hi-tops are nothing new, but lately we’ve noticed patent leather joints making a comeback. These flashy kicks make a huge fashion statement–remember when Prada monopolized this trend back in the early 2000s? (Hmmm… just us?) Leo Velasquez was spotted sporting a pair so reflective it competes with 3M. Are they hot? Or are you not tryna mess with shoes you need to clean with Windex? Is it a ‘HUMP’ or ‘DUMP’? Vote below.
Everybody knows the best way to see an artshow be seen at an artshow is to go opening night with the rest of the world, so that’s our new plan. Be there, see who’s there, and take pictures of it to bring to the Internet. We hit up Ryan McGinely’s new show, “Everybody Knows This is Nowhere” last night at Team Gallery, just as the Fire Marshall did. You should go see the show, it’s dope, but you should also check out our photos of opening…
Leave the bright colors to flowers and the Irish because neutrals is the way to go this spring. We got you covered from head to toe with the best apparel, footwear, and accessories in muted tones. That’s not all. To make sure that you put those hard earned (?) tax return checks to good use, our selections include many Ballin’ options, and for those of you that owe uncle Sam money hahahahaha, we’ve got plenty of Budget picks too.
If you’ve been paying attention to the radio (or have functioning ears), you know that Lady Gaga is pretty much running the whole pop music scene. Look no further than her latest smash featuring Beyoncé, “Telephone.” We’re going to be honest: chick is a freak, but for some weird uncomfortable reason we can’t really explain, we find her undeniably hot (or at the very least a very rich butter face). Since this matter is obviously subjective, we decided to do what we do every Friday and hit you with an Ultimate Archive. And no, she’s not a dude. Hit the link for proof.
Dunno if you’ve been outside in the last few days, but spring has sprung in NYC, and we’re sprung like schwing off the arrival of tank tops to the torsos of our city’s fair lasses. So how are we supposed to indulge our here-kitty-kitty urges when we’re stuck inside? With Robot Wants Kitty, that’s how. Half Metroid/Castlevania-style sidescrolling platform shooter, half weird-ass cartoon nightmare, it’s just enough to keep you occupied in the lab before you can get back to the pursuit of labia. Wow, that was a little much, wasn’t it? Sorry about that.
The Internet is a big place, and there is a lot of crap that hits the hype and sneaker sites each week. To help wade through the muck, we edit the sneaker flow into the top ten sneakers of the week online each Friday afternoon. Hit the jump for the top ten sneaker happenings in the game for the week of March 13th-19th, including the new Busenitz adidas, SB “Larry Perkins, O.G. Air Max 90 return info, and some military NB MT580s …
Breaking Bad has that product you need in your dreary existence.
On AMC’s Breaking Bad, characters cook methamphetamine, but make no mistake—the dark comedic drama is that crack! You’ve gotta try it! No, we’re not recommending that you suck the glass dick for a rock or crystal high, but we do strongly suggest that you start watching this banging series about an average Joe who gets way too deep into the drug game (imagine Weeds but waaay darker and more sinister).
For anyone who’s new to the show, Complex is here to get you up to speed for the season three premiere, which airs Sunday at 10 p.m. on AMC. There are some minor spoilers, but we’ve omitted players from seasons past so you can enjoy the first two seasons, which AMC is re-airing this weekend (or you could just go ahead and cop the first two seasons, so you can keep coming back for more, like a true fiend). However you choose to catch up, do it now, ’cause nothing on TV will give you a high like Breaking Bad. Get to know all the key characters below…
A million showcases have gone down at South By Southwest this week (and plenty more coming up this weekend) but only one of them truly had the coveted Complex co-sign: Texas Takeover. Last night, we teamed up with the good folks over at Ray-Ban to bring the Fool’s Gold roster and special guests to Republic Live in Austin. Check out some pics from last night that include performers and attendees like A-Trak, Travis Barker, Donnis, Kid Sister, and more. Wish you were here!
We haven’t enjoyed a Jennifer Lopez rom-com in…ever, but the news that she’s been cast in a remake of ’80s flick Overboard (a.k.a. one of the few that doesn’t suck) has us curious. [Dlisted]
Janet Jackson was on Leno last night, revealing that the producers of Good Times asked her to lose weight. When she was 10. And folks wonder why the Jacksons are a little effed in the head. [Bossip]
Duck! Naomi Campbell’s fallen off the anger management wagon. [YBF]
The long-term effects of social networking have yet to fully materialize. But as people seamlessly integrate their online presence into their everyday lives, real-world ramifications have already emerged. Whether it’s someone plotting to commit a robbery, or just making legal statements, the interactive media forum can be a dangerous place—password is bond.
No one understands this more than law-enforcement authorities around the world, who now track social sites the way local cops study Hood 2 Hood DVDs. And it seems to be working: this week, suspected Italian mafia member Pasqual “Scarface” Manfredi was detained after repeatedly updating his Facebook page. And he’s not the only example of this growing phenomenon; take a look at some more people whose love for staying in touch got them touched…
Public School’s 2010 spring collection is online for purchase and everything you’d expect from the finely tailored menswear brand. [Public School NYC]
Feeling super confused about why Pentax would want your camera to look like a beanie baby. [crunchgear]
Girl releases seven new skateboard decks (one for each of pro rider) all featuring different “Emoji”, which are supposedly cuter versions of emoticons (who knew such a thing existed?). [Mash Kulture]
Football hooligans and their fan tattoos. Shot by photographer Neil Bedford. Warning: many pale, fleshy arms and calfs. [Curated Mag]
Colette celebrates its 13th anniversary, and they’re inviting people to show up at their storefront tomorrow (Paris time) for a surprise! [Colette]
Other Criteria, Damien Hirst’s publishing and merchandising company, just dropped some keychains that were inspired by the artist’s New Religion series. [Slamxhype]
If you’re out in Texas for SXSW, by now you’ve already spent entire days scouring the streets like the undead, in search of the festival’s next act to blow. In actuality, your best bets are already three or four shows in and have probably been blogged about more than Sandra Bullock’s husband stepping out on her. This weekend’s shows should be a time to get good and intoxicated and and let that rich Austin sun sear your flesh while you take in sets from bands you already fuck with. From today’s Village Voice extravaganza with the xx and Pains of Being Pure at Heart to funk revivalist Dam-Funk at a couple of spots to hip hop stalwarts Duck Down Records anniversary show, check out the 5 live show(case)s to see this weekend: SXSW Edition…
