Michael Jordan – Maybe It’s My Fault

April 24th, 2008 1 Comment

If anyone at Wieden+Kennedy reads this blog (lord knows I read theirs), please pretty please let me sit in on a briefing!

The Brooklyn Circus – Experience is Everything

April 22nd, 2008 No Comments

What can I say? The BKc has got me hooked. I dropped by the store Saturday to chat it up with Sascha and picked up the BKc denim I’d seen Gabe rocking in a post over at their blog. The jeans are dyed twice which gives them an extra shine and makes them appear to be a [...]

I was totally blown away by the way Eric Sean Nalls sings; he’s soulful and, at times, downright operatic. The song [...]

Yo Gabba Gabba

April 17th, 2008 1 Comment

Depending on how my morning goes, I usually commit myself to watching Rocko’s Modern Life before heading out the door. I was flipping through the channels to get there a few days ago when I saw “Yo Gabba Gabba” on Nick Jr. Now I’m old enough to remember when Nick Jr. had shows on like [...]
