Actual Pain x Blessure Grave Mixtape + F/W 09
- story Peter Macia
On this darkest of mornings, two FADER worlds collide in an abyss of filth and confusion… wait no, it’s so nice outside. But worlds do collide as Blessure Grave, a favorite of Jamie Johns’ Freak Scene, and Actual Pain, a fashion and mixtape-maker favorite of the rest of us, collab for another stellar, if somewhat bummer styles mixtape, which includes Siouxsie, Crisis, Wire and more. The irony with both the mixtape and Actual Pain’s A/W 09 line of tees and sweats, though, is that both make us feel really good while we’re walking around in the morning sun. Like we might actually get a suntan listening to goth and wearing a tank-top with maybe Satanic imagery on it. Anyway, check a few images from the line and the mixtape’s tracklist after the jump and go here to buy any/all of it. We got dibs on that black “6 Eyes” joint.

Freeload: Jokers of the Scene x Actual Pain Mixtape

We have been feeling really goth in the office lately between our Salem obsession and blasting the new Blank Dogs constantly like we were born in Manchester and never sold off our existential philosophy book collection. Ottawa party jammers Jokers of the Scene have tapped into our personal zeitgeist with their super essential new mixtape for bloody T-shirt line Actual Pain—which, characteristically of depressed people, has a super super long title: “Since Our Last Report Many Things Have Changed.” Ooh, ominous! It starts out with Throbbing Gristle and by about 31:05 you will be murdered by acidic industrial synths. It might almost be spring(ish), but these are dark days, people, let’s hold hands and brood. Tracklist after the jump.

Actual Pain Pop Up Shop
- story THE FADER
In F52 we talked about the delightfully gory creations of the metal influenced label, Actual Pain. Lucky for us, starting today and going all the way through the month of July, designer TJ Cowgill will be showing his Actual Pain sketchbook shirt collection at the Mishka Pop Up store in Williamsburg. Cowgill has dressed the shop in paintings and sketches from his personal collection and has the sketchbook behind the counter to check out, many of the designs inside will be or are already shirts. After you go, shake off your faded black denim and hit up Trophy Bar later tonight to check out the Sketchbook Collection party. Time to rage!
Freeload: DJ Krames I’m in Pain Mixtape

So someone in this office was just like Dude you totally can’t put up that Krames mix because everyone in Seattle totally knows that he’s friends with Pretty Titty who I just posted about guest DJing The Let Out and they’ll freak out. To which we say, no, we are actually going to put it up because it’s awesome. Sorry Seattle.
