It was a no-brainer for us this week with Music Monday, what with all the fuss being made of Kanye West over the weekend. The ever controversial but always entertaining hip hop star made waves with the release of his newest track 'New Slaves' over the weekend, premiering it through the medium of a projected video simultaneously broadcasted in over 60 buildings in 10 locations around the world. Kanye then went on to tease us with a possible name for his sixth studio album - 'Yeezus' - and possible artwork which you can see below (along with a possible new Yeezy 2 colourway). On Saturday Night Live, he performed 'New Slaves' for the first time and then went on to debut another new track 'Black Skinhead'. The new tracks sound great and we're highly anticipating the forthcoming album, what do you guys think?

This weeks hottie is the outrageously hot Adrianne Ho! The Chinese - French Canadian model has been busy as of late, starring in campaigns for the likes of Boast, UNIS, Levi's and Union Los Angeles and we just can't get enough of her. If you happen to follow her on Instagram , you know that she has a massive love of streetwear and can always be seen in the latest gear. The good folks over at Complex took notice of Adrianne and made her the focus of their 'Hot Complex' , blessing us with a great selection of new photos and a little behind the scenes video which you can see below. Unfortunately for us, she's currently taken by New York filmmaker/photographer Jake Davis . Ah well, a boy can dream...

Daniel Avery (Phantasy) makes a welcome return to Glasgow's Berkeley Suite tonight (Fri 17th May) alongside Glasgow favourite and one half of Optimo JG Wilkes. Avery is unique among the current crop: a rising producer embraced by the same icons whose own work inspired him to seek that warm up slot playing ESG and Neu! records in Bournemouth all those years ago. Alkan in particular recognized Avery's passion for sounds originating away from the dancefloor, something that was instrumental in Avery signing for Phantasy, a collective Daniel now regards "very much as home." The critically acclaimed "Need Electric" and "Water Jump" EPs followed, showcasing a depth and progression alluded to in his earlier works for Throne Of Blood, Relish and Tigersushi. Much more music for Phantasy is promised in 2013. Dan is joined behind the decks tonight in the Berkeley Suite by JG Wilkes from Glasgow's finest DJ duo Optimo , who needs no intro...

A favourite book with our customers and ourselves at Fat Buddha Store has to be the book Cycle Chic from Thames & Hudson . No longer is it just pedal and push, there's some preening involved in cycling these days too, as testified by the author Mikael Colville-Andersen. This new book catalogues one man's journey to find the most stylish cyclists. From gritty messengers to tweed-sporting bankers, from Pashley princesses to high-tech roadies, cycle chic is everywhere you look. No one is more attuned to the explosion of these new trends than Mikael Colville-Andersen, who launched the first cycling fashion blog, ‘Copenhagen Cycle Chic’, more than five years ago. The blog went viral, and there are now ‘cycle chic’ blogs from São Paulo to Mexico City, from Tokyo to Vancouver, and from New York to Budapest. Published in a compact format targeted at the style-conscious and urban tribes of all stripes, hundreds of images in this ingenious collection curated by C...

One of our favourite artists here at Fat Buddha Store is New York City's Kaws . We posted recently about his 16 foot Companion sculpture arriving at Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station to be put on show. His new exhibition has opened at the KaiKai Kiki Gallery in Tokyo. The Brooklyn artist presents an entire new body of canvas work, including many different sized paintings. His trademark characters and styles are mixed in new ways, resulting in an exciting new body of work, while staying true to what he is best known for. You can check out some pics below. The show will continue to run until the 29th May and includes all of the artwork shown above. We have very limited stock of Medicom's Kaw's Bus Stop 1 and Kaw's Bus Stop 2 still available here at Fat Buddha Store alongside more from our great range of Vinyl toys . You can check them out here.
