A bit of old yet still relevant news: If you notice these paintings at your homie’s house, please call Cotton Candy Machine 718.387.3844.  They are Amar Stewart’s paintings and were stolen from the Williamsburg gallery last month.  Sean (one of the gallery owners and  ZeroFriends homie) actually chased down a huge Basquiat painting (which was stolen but recovered).    If you want more of the details (and to see more of Amar Stewart’s excellent work), please check their blog.

True Clerks V4 — DJ Icewater X Jen B by True Clothing on Mixcloud

New mix from TRUE done by DJ Icewater with selections from Jen B.  She says, “I wanted to create a mix that was dominated by female artists. These songs have painted a backdrop for many significant moments in my life, not to mention they’re just damn good songs. Much love to DJ Icewater for bringing together track listings of so many different genres of music and making them flow…LIKE WATER FOR TRUE.” —

Great to hear these songs again…kinda miss this era of music.  Check their Mixcloud page to hear the other volumes of Clerks (music chosen by the TRUE fam)
