Per Wikipedia, Malcolm McLaren (born Malcolm Robert Andrew Edwards on 22 January 1946 in London) is an English entrepreneur and musician who is best known as being the manager of the punk rock band Sex Pistols.

That, and together with the “World’s Famous Supreme Team,” he crafted what is surely one of the greatest old-school songs of all time. This video for “Hey DJ” is absolutely stunning. It’s so heavy on 80s nostalgia that it could have been filmed last week. Awesome.

Core 77, a magazine and resource for Industrial Design, launched their famous Holiday gift guide today. Offering 77 items for under $77, it’s absolutely filled with killer and off-the-wall items. We’re proud to announce that epauletshop.com will offer two of their exclusive gift items: a set of magnetic throwing stars and an ingenious bottle-cap puncher. Here’s the details below:

Secret Mark Throwing Star Magnets (set of 2)

These throwing star magnets are perfect for any metallic surface. Post notes on your fridge door, or make your mark wherever you feel outnumbered. Each star has 2 powerful magnets for a strong grip. Makes a great gift! 2 magnets are included inside an authentic ninja-styled shuriken box.

BottleBob Bottle Cap Punch

How did they they get that straw through the bottle? Use the BottleBob device to pierce a perfectly-sized round hole in any soda or beer bottle cap, insert a straw, and voila! A super-unique way to drink soda, impress your friends, and flummox magicians!

Great for event-planners, of course, or anyone who wants to add a special effect to their bottled beverage. Works with both metal and plastic caps and new-fangled and old-school bottles.

SYNOPSIS
Up on the Roof follows several devoted pigeon breeders in Williamsburg, Brooklyn through the rigors and rewards of a quintessential New York tradition. All along the waterfront, and throughout blue collar Brooklyn, pigeon fancying has been an active pastime for generations, handed down from one group of residents to the next, and Williamsburg has long been the center of the action. But as with so many once blighted and now hip districts throughout the world, Brooklyn‹-and Williamsburg in particular‹-is being scrubbed of its old world character to make way for a new urbanism. This colorful, urban-wildlife doc considers what we lose in the process of urban renewal and treats the audience like an insider in an unseen and in many ways vanishing world.
