I went to see Mute Math (with As Tall As Lions opening) at the Nokia Theater last night and as always they gave a great show. Since this was the last night of their Armistice album tour, they played a lot of songs from their new album but also mixed in a lot of older songs.
I was super excited when they started playing “Peculiar People” because that was the song that made me love them when I heard them play it a few years back at a show at Irving Plaza (where THEY were the opening act and nobody knew who they were). Overall, this show was spectacular and I still hold to the belief that if you haven’t seen Mute Math live, then you haven’t truly seen a great live show.

Here are some photos from the Superdry New York store launch party which was held last night. The store was closed to the public from 6PM onward and open only to invited guests and press to see the full set of apparel, bags, accessories, and jeans. I was told that folks from the UK (Superdry’s headquarters) were at the event to see the opening of the company’s first dedicated Superdry outlet. The store itself is huge (one of the largest single clothing retailers along Broadway) and the inside is outfitted with unique clothing shelves that were branded and made to look like they were picked up at the junkyard.
While people were mingling and having food and drinks, I looked around at their line and was impressed with their line of jackets, some of which I don’t recall seeing at their online store at Cult. In any case, I really wanted to try them on but I felt a bit weird doing so at the opening party, so I’ll probably head back in at a later time and let you know how they feel.
The attention to detail even came down to the tags on the clothes as some items included a nice and beat-up aluminum piece to take home after purchase. Overall, the store is worth a visit and inside you’ll find a wealth of great clothing and accessories options for this coming winter. If you aren’t in NYC, here are some photos you can check out.

Paul Nicklen, a contributing photographer for National Geographic, talks about his wild sea adventure with a giant leopard seal. His photographs tell a frightening story, but his memory of the events was rather peaceful and playful. [via]
This guy’s got one of the best jobs in the world!
