Chester French X Pharrell X JD X Clinton Sparks

Letting yall know kinda late

Chester French mixtape presented by Clinton Sparks

the only song I've heard on it is "Life in LA" featuring Pharrell and Jermaine Dupri

The beat is ridonkulous

not sure if Pharrell or Sparks made it, but I'm guessing Pharrell

Did they really need JD on it tho????

What do yall think of Chester French?

p.s. Asher Roth dropping tomorrow, who's coppin?

ArborSculpture!!!

Woah

Never seen or heard of this before

people are warping trees as they grow to make designs out the trees themselves

No idea how long this must take, but the end result is phenomenal

I would def pay money for an outdoor chair

Ram's Horn?!? :: Passover Seder Celebration

Photographer: Clayton Hauck

Woah

So I haven't posted about photography in a minute, which is definitely the purpose of this blog

Getting back to that with Clayton Hauck of Every1IsFamous

He might be part of the "party pix" crowd, but Clayton Hauck is one of the best music and concert photographers out right now 

check out his professional work on claytonhauck.com or his blog which is constantly updated with his latest pix at everyoneisfamous.com and keep an eye out for his book coming out soon

High-end Trainers

I preface this post by saying that this really is not a fashion blog or anything....

but with that said, I can't ignore the trend I'm noticing

I decided to write this after I got the idea from my boy Bobby over at Fame's Allure

His boy Henny posted some pics of some very expensive, but very nice trainers

Which got me thinking about the trend of sophisticated sneakers

Is this the way all non-athletic sneakers will go?

Is it just a passing fad? 

Or has it always been around, but just for one corner of the market??

New Music: Kanye guest appearances

Why is Kanye getting featured on everything right now??

Flight School

Stay-Up Viagra

Gifted

Poke-Her Face

Walking On The Moon

Knock Me Down

that is just off the top of my head, I'm sure there are others

I am not complaining, just wondering

It isn't like he needs the money or the face time

Maybe the man really just loves doing what he does, who knows???

TrashBag: Slanties

Do you want to:

1. waste some cash?

2. make everyone think you are wild pretentious?

3. be racially insensitive and ignorant?

4. look like a fucking dork?

if you said yes to any or all of the aforementioned questions...

then "Slanties" might be right for you

Based off of eyewear Inuits used to use in harsh weather condidtions, these new "avant-garde" pieces are trying to be the 2k9 shutter shades

Definitely a swing and a miss lol

DOOM -- Born Like This

DOOM

New Album just dropped

(he officially dropped the MF)

I'm a big Doom fan and Doom himself stated this was his best CD yet

I've heard the majority of the CD and Doom def went in

Some of the beats are so complex it distracts you from what he is trying to say

The cool kids will be excited to know (or already know) that Thom Yorke whipped up a beat for Doom that he used on the "Gazillion Ear" remix

check this shit out

Ahmad Jamal!!!

Ahmad Jamal is coming to the Blue Note

May 19th thru the 23rd

"Be there or be a jerk"

For those that don't know, Ahmad Jamal is arguably one of the most imfluential jazz pianists alive

Miles Davis said Ahmad Jamal was an influence on him, soooooooooo

His work has been sampled by countless rappers, first that comes to mind in Nas' "I Gave You Power"

P.S. just saw James Moody live last night, homeboy is 83 yrs and can still play his ass off

Peter Bjorn & John video

New video from PB&J starring some Japanese greasers... def never seen anything like this

Is it just me, or does this song sound a lot like Lykke Li's "I'm Good, I'm Gone"?

They're all from Sweden, so who knows?

If you're not sure who PB&J are, you have probably heard their song "Young Folks"

Hoka Hey part 3

Fancy Ribbon Dancers doing what they do best
