Mannequin On The Waterfront

Love Lockdown Vid

Always with style. Always an artist. What I want to know though is, who's bankrolling all of these videos he's making? I mean internet aside, its not like there's anywhere to play them anymore. Seems like the record companies would skip out on it. Maybe, 'Ye's just paying the freight himself. Opinions?

Epic much? Looks like Justice knows a thing or two about rockin' up the food chain. Can't wait to buy this thing.

2008 IDEA Winners

Follow the link and click around the pics to discover a little bit about the top design products that came out this year. The picture above is of an alarm clock that wakes you up by sending a vibration to a ring that you wear. The wearer can kick in the snooze feature by shaking their hand, but for it to keep working they need to shake more and more each time, effectively causing them to awaken.

Jacking Kanye 3: The Lens Coffee Cup

Jamie Lidell - Wednesday!

That man with the funky band will hit Portland on Wednesday, ready to bring his musical sunlight to the Wonder Ballroom. I'm going, Siri's going, and the kids in the know are going. If I was a wiser man I'd be picking out some dancing shoes right now, but for now I'm just going to watch this video Pitchfork had up of Jamie doing "Figured Me Out" live. Check out the breakdown around the middle.

Nerdbots

Here's another one from Siri. Some couple in KC, MO, loved robots so much that they decided to rustle up a bunch for the world outside. They seem to be one of ones, so act on the impulse if you want to bring it home. Samples above, more below in the link.

From The Desk Of Siri: The Pentagon's Night Lights

Recently, 184 glowing sculptures were implanted into the Pentagon lawn to honor the 7th anniversary of 9/11. Interpretation of the slightly winged shaped structures, like most modern memorials, is supposed to be left up to the viewer. From the pictures it looks like it would be an eye-grabber. You can check out more pictures and more story in the link below.

Wired's Take On The 'Lights In The Sky' Tour

Why Not Choose Dynamic, Rick Rubin?

One of the lame things about the music industry's output nowadays is how rampantly over-compressed the music is. Below, you'll find an article about how the new Metallica album, Death Magnetic, is compressed to a point where all the dynamic tendencies of the notes have been vaporized. The article also talks about how the the studio that does Guitar Hero is re-cutting it for the next game in the series, adding all the dynamic qualities back into the album. There's even a suggestion that someone should rip the Guitar Hero version and let fans download and keep that copy. Hey Metallica! What you should do right now is remaster the album and give the fans a choice on the website of which version they want.

P.S. Shame on you Rick Rubin, you should know better.

Sir Ben Kingsley is....Ian MacKaye

Sir Ben Kingsley STOMPS into the shoes of Minor Threat's Ian MacKaye from Mean Magazine on Vimeo.

How does this go down? How do these videos get made? That's what I want to know. Maybe Kingsley just had to rock. This is from Mean Magazine.

This is everything a rock single should be. Or atleast something that pounds the drums for the devoted.

You Never Thought You'd Go Back To Myspace, But Go Back For 'Planisphere.'

New Kanye: Love Lockdown

From the VMA's. I like it. I don't love it, but I think its a good middle of an album type of song. I'm surprised he brought it out because I'm not sure its a single. Or atleast not in line with the powerhouses he usually drops for singles. However, it's still pretty cool and I get the feeling that the more I listen to it, the more I'm going to jump on it's bandwagon. Something about it is already burrowing in. Well done Yeezy.

Update: I do love it. Its still BEGGING for a rap verse, though. Probably only one.

Banksy Is Ballsy

For those that don't know, Banksy is touring America, tagging it for all its worth. This image was done in Birmingham, Alabama and got removed, quickly. Guess they couldn't swallow the truth. Found on hypebeast.com

Rag & Bone Is Killin' It

Found this on men.style.com. High amount of pieces that are highly wearable.
