Stand tall on the Recon Rock of Gibraltar

Slapping striped shirts, big chunes, big jeans, and big chinos from Japan for the low

Welcome to today’s Blackbird Spyplane. And, please believe, the rumors are true: We remain your “Recon Rock of Gibraltar.”

In today’s sletter we’ve got:

• the good non-preposterous big-chino options, including some Japan-made slappers for the low,

• a rare opportunity to get rare hand-made jeans,

• deep-cut ambient-techno from 1997 that was once CD-only but is getting a reissue and is cool,
