Buzz Clothing Promotion
by Ami Kealoha
Buzz Clothing, one of our favorite online retailers for menswear, is offering an exclusive 20% discount to Cool Hunting readers. It's a great chance to pick up some of their Southern California-tinged collection, which includes some hard–to–find style classics, like Fila's reissued Settantarte collection. Buzz carries a couple of the limited edition warm-ups and polos that Fila recently reproduced from their debut 1973 line—must–haves for vintage Fila fans (i.e. everyone).
Other covetable items include the cotton and cashmere V::room henleys (we're already sold on their tees) and Frank Dandy's swim trunks. They also carry 2K, Howe, Ever, NSF, Kasil denim, Wrangler 47 and Earnest Sewn, among others.

Mr. Hopkinson's Computer
by SummerSeventySix
Watch and learn Mark Ronson—this is how you really do a cover version. As mentioned in the Guardian today, Mr. Hopkinson's Computer turns the likes of Radiohead, Portishead and—to greatest effect—The Stone Roses, into digitized, electro gems with a tinge of electronic melancholy that could only ever be achieved with ones and zeros. Check out the MySpace site, where Mr. Hopkinson's Computer itself says it sounds like Morrissey, Eddie the shipboard computer and Stephen Hawking.
WK Interact: Maxalot Gallery
by Tim Yu
Starting next week, WK Interact is bombing Barcelona's Maxalot Gallery inside and out. His black and white figures will adorn gallery walls, doors and the street outside from 21 May–23 June 2007.
Limited screen–prints, new mixed media paintings (right) and an outdoor triptych piece will be on display. The exhibition will also feature an installation of the artist's outfit and "guerrilla gear" used when putting up his artwork throughout different cities (below right). In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to see some new impromptu pieces on Barcelona's city walls since the artist was in town. Keep an eye out and let us know if you see anything.
Also, check out his recent collaboration with Kobe Bryant and Nike here along with a video of the artist in action here.
