    This just in from the Village Voice's Best of NYC Edition, now on the web
    at http://www.villagevoice.com/bestof/ -

    (So, should this place join my short list of favorite clothing stores,
    which currently contains and is led by, of course, Wade Smith, in
    Liverpool...?)

    Memes

    What to do when you've outgrown the massive UFO pants and the chips on
    your skateboard? You go to Memes, filled with smart, unpretentious gear
    from streetwear labels like Generic Costume, Leftfield, and Soul Rebel.
    Owner Tetsuo Hashimoto borrowed anthropologist Richard Dawkins's term
    memesis, the interchange of cultural forms‹ an accurate name for a shop
    that caters to the generation of guys that came up when rock and
    turntable/sampler worlds coagulated. DJs who favor Memes typically leave
    their mix tapes for sale at the counter; it's not unusual to hear the
    throttle of a drum'n'bass track followed by David Bowie's "Heroes" on the
    vintage air-injection sound system. -Jose Germosen
