Alphanumeric Gets Literal

July 9th, 2008 3 Comments

Alphanumeric’s “Gassed” tee blatantly depicts what the majority of us are experiencing while filling up at the local gas pump. I think that it’s always great to see art and design reflect the economic state of the government, even if it does mean that everyone is probably going broke. The shirt will be […]

It’s not often that our American ears are graced with the sound of Norwegian artists (I won’t include death-metal on that list). But, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that one of Scandinavia’s biggest artists and female DJs is releasing an album in the United States on Island Records. ANNIE first came to my […]

Sometimes you just have to follow your passion- as cliche as it sounds. Not a lot of people can act on all those small, and sometimes, innate desires . And not a lot of people have the willpower to try or experience something new. Maybe it’s the fear of ridicule and failure that stops us […]

The Whitest Boy Alive

July 9th, 2008 No Comments

I thought that the concept for this video was really superb; the motion graphics and type are absolutely amazing. The song is from a German band, The Whitest Boy Alive, and the name of the track is “Golden Cage”.

The Man with the Iron Fist

July 9th, 2008 1 Comment

Add one part directorial inspiration from Quinten Tarentino,  a third of Eli Roth’s producing and two parts martial arts knowledge and music scoring genius from RZA of the Wu Tang Clan and what do you get?

July 1st, 2008 4 Comments

Earlier this month, we had the pleasure of conducting an interview with Cleveland native turned Brooklyn resident K.i.D CuDi. If you don’t know who CuDi is, get out from whatever hole your living in and go to your local club/disco/hipster hangout and see if you don’t hear his summer jam “Day n Nite”. A genuinely nice, intelligent, and […]

These two guys seem to be popping up more and more in my daily reading. I first caught sight of them when I was doing a stop over at the Sartorialist blog to get my style game up. I saw these peculiar, yet perfectly positioned, Lego jewelery accessories they were both sporting. On further investigation it turns out […]
