Sad news recently that San Francisco revolutionary bookshop and gallery Babylon Falling will be closing its doors for the last time come the end of June. Upper Playground’s Walrus TV caught up with the man behind Babylon, Sean Stewart, to get his take on what it means to be a revolutionary and how this common desire to the share a better life has rallied a community around his store. It’s an inspiring and thoughtful take on what it means to be an agent of change through cultural production.

This site is about streetwear and street art, especially when it has a revolutionary pulse. Streetwear has always been about standing out and looking good, but is it today too much about being 'fashionable'?

By ‘fashionable’ I’m not talking so much about streetwear’s aesthetics. Sure, it’s gone in a more preppy, nouveau riche direction of late. If in 2005 it was Fresh Prince corny, in 2009 it’s strictly Carlton Banks.
