The Retrospective

I first heard about Common Projects through a friend of mine who happens to be in living in the U.K right now. Recently I noticed a couple posts and I had to see what the hype was about. I just had a chance to go through their Spring ‘08 look book and I’m even […]

If this doesn’t make you realize that Barak is the right man running for president nothing will. This video makes me proud to be an African American living, breathing and being able to do what empowers me to get where I want to go in the United States. We’re existing in such a […]

This is why Wieden + Kennedyare a powerhouse of an ad agency. This is the most recent 30 second spot for Nike’s new “SPARQ Training” program that was anounced this week. Everything from the copy to the attitude that the athletes execute sells, “Hey, maybe I should go out and pick up some Nike […]

Dudes and dudettes The Hundreds franchise is growing and the next stop is San Francisco. If you are unfamiliar with The Hundreds then increase your knowledge: check out their blog and shop so you can get up to speed. Thursday, March 20th, at 11am is the grand opening of their new store which will be […]

*UPDATE: CONGRATULATIONS TO “LITTLE ONE” FOR WINNING THE CONTEST!!! THANKS TO ALL WHO PLAYED

Are you a Shiny Toy Guns fan? Well a good friend of the site, Rick Bober, has given us the chance to try something pretty cool. The Retrospective will be giving away a meet and greet pass for the Shiny Toy Guys show […]

Sometimes you just get so busy you forget that there’s a lot of cool stuff in your backyard (bear with me). I think I’ve already mentioned that I’m not a morning person and today is no exception. I had an 8:30am class that requires me to be out the door by 7:30am in order to […]

One of my biggest loves is anime. Growing up in the 80’s exposed me to a vast amount of Japanese television that was dubbed into French. It was quite a culture shock to move to the states in the early 90’s and find that American children had not grown up on the same style […]

I can’t seem to get enough of The Fashion. My friend Mike DMND had them playing in his Myspace profile and I was hooked. The band has been popping up more and more around the Internet and are currently up for vote in mtvU’s freshman artist contest (our friends in Shwayze are too so go […]

I can’t really remember if I’ve ever watched “The Cell“, which by all accounts was a failure at the box office but all together a great concept. “The Fall” is yet another film by famed director Tarsem (so famous he only has a first name). The basic premise consists of a little girl in […]
