Though slightly old news, “The End of History” by BrewDog still deserves space for its outrageous packaging. Now sold out, “The End of History” holds records as the most alcoholic (55% abv) beer and the first beer to be packaged in side of dead animals. The Scottish brewers, two 26-year olds that founded BrewDog  in 2007 with the desire to shake up the British brew industry, suggest it is the “Beer to end all beers.” For the bottles they used seven stoats, four squirrels, and a hare.

While “The End of History” might just end with a legacy of insanity, BrewDog’s general range is inventive and typically delicious. That said, I can’t imagine that sniffing out a stout cloaked bottle would be a bad idea… the investment potential seems quite high.

Gourmet’s again – footwear is footwear in our books, no time for silly categorising. These cutaway leather ‘joints’ (see that? we’re down with tha kid) are great for those folks obsessed with high tops. If you wanna know how to pull these off, we advise wearing it with other clothes – it’s the key to true style. (Crooked Tongues)

The CREEP by Hiroshi Awai continues to grow every season including their forthcoming Spring 2011 collection. The enzyme washed work shirt which opens their lookbook stood out immediately to me. Problem is, finding a good fit heavyweight shirt is not as easy as it may seem, let alone in a great color. Dig through the looks…

I’m a bit fond of the forthcoming Autumn 2010 Levi’s Vintage (I still prefer LVC) collection – especially the rework on the denim jacket. The 1936 Type 1 looks to be a strong look. It is almost wearable as a heavy shirt based on the fit of this model. “Heavy weight denim jacket in a vintage ‘Graniteville’ finish – a heavily distressed look with colouration to the denim and a crumpled finish to the fabric. Rivets are exposed, sleeve seams are worn and there’s a back cinch for detail.” Pre-order at Oki-ni.

Japan’s Beauty & Youth lays down three excellent takes on the chukka boot. They outfit their models with wingtips against the suede which gives them a mixed look that should work for almost any guy. They’re made in Portugal and are about one the best chukkas we have seen in some time. I choose the brown colorway. (zozo)

Our man in Japan, D. Gore covered the MUCU notebook line not too long ago. Well it looks like they’re landing Stateside. Need Supply has stock on four different notebooks from the MUCU collection. We’re featuring the “Blank Note Small” which is a perfect size to slip in your pocket. “Small notebook made from austere cardboard and an external canvas binding.” For notebook junkies, let the comments flow… 12$US a pop.

01. Mary Anne Hobbs To Leave Radio 1

“‘In a statement published on her Myspace page, she said the following:.. ‘My current Experimental show is in peak condition, it’s never been stronger. And although it’s a very emotional decision to leave the show that I love so much, it’s also an optimum moment to bow out, at the very top of my game.’ ” (thequietus)

03. Fucked Up – “Year Of The Ox” (Feat. Zola Jesus)

“Fucked Up record songs base on the Chinese Zodiac (and, as we mentioned, often for charities). “Year Of the Ox” celebrates the one that just passed (we’re in a tiger year now), and features Zola Jesus’s Nika Roza Danilova (we talked “Sea Talk” earlier today). The song is 13 minutes long, so you’ll have to be patient to hear her contribution.” (stereogum)

How can you not want to get your hands on this moto banger. Meet the Ducati 848 EVO. “At its very core, the Ducati brand has always been all about a race-bred pedigree, and now amongst a pack of formidable competitors, the Italian company seeks to emerge on top of the middleweight battle by having the fittest steed in the paddock. Meet the new 848 EVO sport bike, which boasts performance upgrades aplenty over the previous 848. The heart of the new machine will beat to a faster tempo as a modified engine now churns out 140 horsepower and 72.3 pound-feet of twist before reaching its crescendo at 10,500 rpm. That’s up six ponies from the last 848.” (autoblog)
