Look who`s back.

Happy Up Here from Röyksopp I remember installing Tiger (I think) on my mac and right away you are greeted buy a cool tune that I later discovered was called Eple… From then onwards, I fell in love with Royksopp, and my mac. Here they are again, the first single from ‘Junior’, enjoy.

Play that funky music. . . you know the rest.

Jay and I (Mathematikal) just finished a rework of the classic wild cherry track. Download the one hit wonder here

Sneak Peeeeeek. First Summer tees going to print.

Ok, we are working on the next collection of tees, that’s why you haven’t heard from us lately. We’re watching a lot of 1940′s cartoons to get inspiration from the greats like Tex Avery and eating a lots of junk food to help us keep focused. We also love the odd game of Super Mario...

Day n Nite – and its pronounced `Cuddie` please.

If you’re here in Europe you probably saw the Crookers Remix on Mtv, not the original track of the ex Bape employee turned super cool star Kid Cudi. Well here it is, directed by Ed Banger’s left hand/brain SoMe, its here to stay on the FG playlist.

The Mother of all 80s events

This is the definitive 2009 80′s event – Michael Jackson is having a garage sale at Neverland Ranch. A few thousand items are up for grabs in what is a major fund raising event for our beloved glove toting pop star. How big is the collection? Just consider that there’s a six-volume catalog describing the...

Small Country, Big Heart, Awesome Band.

We heart Friendly Fires

What an awesome band. This has been on repeat at the fat HQ. Vimeo’s descption says it all…”Edgy, monochromatic music video for Friendly Fires, directed by Clemens Habicht. The band were transformed into Skeleton Boys as a nod to the track’s title, with the aid of double-sided sticky tape, fans and trillions of bean bag...

Nintendo Years

Lately I’ve been in Retro mode. Gaming and TV that is… I’ve been playing Super Mario Bros 3 on my old Nintendo NES system, watching episodes of Alf off YouTube, and generally missing the 80′s and 90′s. While looking around on YouTube I came across this vid. Contrary to the title of the video, its...

Sheeez. . . Done in 2007 but will last till 2700

Badges please.

We’ve been working our ass off at the Fat HQ to bring you guys new designs and new accessories / stuff. Like these babies… Fresh badges for you to pin down on your favourite denim jacket or your 90′s duffle bag. They will be appearing shortly in the shop section. There will be 3 sets of...

80s Cartoons Nostalgia

To many of us, Sunday mornings meant no school and faces glued to the TV. They sure don’t make cartoons the same anymore… He-Man would kick Dragonball Z’s ass any day, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles would make tofu out of the Power Rangers. The content quality of most of today’s animated shows for...
