Serena
Maneesh drop a
kraut-heavy guest
playlist on Viva for
Naked Fridayspart
37!
These friendly
rockers came by
before embarking on
a weekend's worth
of soundblasting a
sonically starved
NYC scene.
Between the
ambitious and
inventive
selections
picked by Emil, the
SM mainman, there
was lots of
insightful
conversation to be
had. So much so to
the point whereupon
being reminded about
their strict
itinerary by a
Maneesh crewmember,
he brushed it off
and said, "That's
fine, let's talk
about music." OK
then!
So yes, a rocking
Naked Fridays with a
classical bent (but
not in a hairy
prog rock kind of
way) that
adequately
represents the
creative direction
of this ambitious
group, highlighted
by 3 of their own
tracks.

Leonn and Anne from Dublin are looking for Spring inspiration in Chloe's Spring 2010 collection.
"We loved the khaki colours, clean-cut shirts and collared blouses, forming
the safari and modern military look. This will also prove that in our AA store
in Dublin, you can easily pull off the popular trends... without
spending a lot of money."
Leonn pairs the California Select Vintage Men's Army Jacket with a CS
Vintage Men's Shirt and a CS Vintage Skinny Belt.
Here, Anne is wearing a CS Vintage Women's Silk Blouse, alongside a pair
of cream high-waisted shorts and a CS Vintage Skinny Belt.
Get ready for a
masterstroke of
sweetness, folks.
For #35, Julian
Casablancas,
lead singer and
songwriter of
Downtown '01 rock n'
roll revivalists
The Strokes,
stops by the Viva
Radio studio and
gives a salty salute
to some musical
mainstays that help
define the "Thin
Lizzy meets A-Ha"
hits of his new solo
album, Phrazes
for the Young.
As Flatbush Ave
legend has it, Mr.
Casablancas strolled
into the Park Slope
American Apparel
store that homes
Viva's projection
booth studio cool as
a cucumber. No
entourage, no
paparazzi (or
Moretti, for that
matter), no fanatics
at the feet. Having
just rolled out of
bed in his matching
University of
Michigan sweats, Ted
was at the door to
greet Julian and
immediately forge an
unspoken bond of
casua'tude.
The two talked baby
names (Julian's
expecting his first
next month), hip hop
manifestation in
Julian's love for
2 Pac's
"Changes" and a
rendition of
Jay-Z and
Alicia Keys
"New York" duet at a
recent homecoming
show, collaboration
expectations for
Rivers Cuomo
and Elton
John, and that
Ohio gold sound of
Guided By
Voices and
Times New
Viking. We'll
save the rest for Naked
Fridays history
which you can
tune into Friday
1/28 at 4 PM.

In case you haven't heard, we just launched our first ever Search for the Best Bottom in the World contest. We've
already received over 200 guys and girls flaunting their best side and we're going
to need your help to vote on which truly is the best bottom out there.
The top ten contestants, as voted on by the public, will receive a grab bag worth
$300 of American Apparel goodies. Two grand prize winners - selected by
American Apparel judges - will be eligible to be our next butt model. They win a
roundtrip out to LA for a photo shoot.
Think you've got the most amazing bum known to man? Then send in a photo of your derriére wearing our panties,
bodysuits or briefs for judgement!
American Apparel donated some socks and a ton of pom poms to UCLA's Fowler
Museum for an event to celebrate the the current Nick Cave: Meet Me
at the Center of the Earth exhibition. (That's Nick Cave, the American dancer/artist best known for his
Soundsuits, not the Aussie musician.)
Last Friday, they held a Nick Cave-inspired sock decorating event at the
museum. The exhibit runs until May 30th so there's plenty of
time to catch it, and if you're inspired, we have plenty of socks for your homemade DIY creations.
The Catorialist might possibly be the best fashion blog on the internet. Never have I seen so much lovely fashion inspiration and style in one internet location. Here's Minow, an elderly gentleman who lives on a farm. He "is from an age where cats learned to wear their fur instead of letting their fur wear them." Move over Scott Schuman, there’s a new fashion-blogger god in town.
There's also The Dogorialist if you’re into that sort of thing.

American Apparel supports independent design, and we like to do our part when we see
someone with a unique voice or vision.
Telfar Clemens has both, plus we also appreciate his "wear the same garment 50 times and
nobody's gonna notice" attitude toward fashion.
To help him brainstorm, we gave him a box of tee shirts and scraps to mess around with, and
last night we saw the results. Have a look at UN.DER T by Telfar - his latest 15 pc collection made entirely of American Apparel
Organic T's.

Have you seen our new Military Beret
yet? Devon from Austin models hers here - made from warm wool with
banded leather, each beret comes with five unique hand-picked vintage
pins.
As you know,
musician Jay
Reatard passed
away last week at
the age of 29. All
of us at Viva Radio
were shocked and
saddened by the
news. We were
fortunate enough to
have Jay in the Viva
studio on October
24th, 2008 for our
Me + You program.
Jay didn't perform
any songs that day
due to a tight CMJ
schedule but we did
have a chance to
chat.
I'd never met Jay
before. He was a
pretty intense guy.
We could've sat down
that day for a
normal interview but
instead stood in a
high energy,
slightly volatile
Q&A volley. I
thought the tension
was gonna drive Jay
out of the studio a
couple times but
instead I was able
to uncover a softer
side of Jay.
As Jay put it that
day, "I like to
sip chamomile tea
with my dog and
watch VH1. That's
about as soft as I
get". It was a
break through. I
think I did get a
nice little slice of
life out of Jay that
day.
A few questions that
made the interview:
Why should people
care about Jay
Reatard? Are you living
the American
Dream? What would you
say is the best
album to listen to
while smoking
DMT?
And a few that
didn't:
Are you the
marrying
type? What is Jay
Reatard's
GOD? Are you a fan of
the Who's "Eminence
Front?"
