HOOP JUNKIES:
- Duke will not be #1 in the country in March
- KG in a Knicks uni? Not happening. (But damn, that would be ill)
- Four NBA teams are dropping new 2nd road uniforms: Boston (green), Detroit (red), Cleveland (navy), and Denver (navy). Cleveland's, which is the hottest of the four, hits the court on Saturday.
SNEAKER FREAKS:
- My 2005 Holiday Gear Guide will drop in a week or so, but here's a tip: If you're looking for rare kicks in NY, hit up Flight Club (www.vintagekicks.com) or ALIFE (www.alifenyc.com)
MUSIC HEADS:
- Just previewed two cool, but very different records:
--- The Darkness' One Way Ticket to Hell...And Back (www.myspace.com/thedarkness)
--- Richard Swift's The Collected Works of Richard Swift Vol 1 (www.richardswift.us)
*The Darkness are typically obnoxious, but there's something addictive and infectious about the new record. Richard Swift would make fans of Iron & Wine, Bonnie "Prince" Billy, and Rufus Wainwright feel at home.
