Its' the new thing(s) you can't live without.
Welcome to my blog. I document my adventures in travel, style, and food. Hope you have a nice stay!

I still miss Lee. But it's good to see the contemporary MCQ is doing beautiful things like this: a very simple Tumblr with great photography and Corey Adams' short films of girls wearing the collection in suburban homes. It's not on the level of making a Medusa head out of coloured maggots (as Lee McQueen once did for ShowStudio), but still inspiring.
If you don't know about Mr. Gambino, you're late. I mean, Wikipedia says he has 6 aliases already (Cheezy, Bambino X, Bam-B, Sir Durton Cloud 9, Ms. Long-Lady Stanhope, and Bambini). And that's not even counting his real name he usues as an actor, writer (for 30 Rock) and stand up comedian, Donald Glover.
I've spent the last three days in the woods with no WiFi, reading actual books (on paper) and looking at squirrels chasing past my window. If you ask me "How are you doing?", my answer is: "I'll be fine." And I mean it, too.
The new Radiohead is not the smack in the face "In Rainbows" or "Kid A" turned out to be. It's not a stadium-filler like "OK Computer", either. What is it then? I dunno. A soundtrack for a fast ballooning head? Static fom the empty space inside your heart? I'm just guessing here.
It's SNL's The Lonely Island feat. everybody's favourite hashtag rapper Nicky Minaj and professional pencil-moustached pevert John Waters.
"Canada" is one of those artists that could not have come out 10 years ago. As a director, his distinctive visual mix of found images, satanic imagery, sex, violence, funny and pop culture are very *dry heave* 'now'. Expect to see his name on the credits of some heavily funded pop bands soon. (He just joined the ranks of Partizan, the Wu-Tang clan of directors, after his internet succes with El Guincho) For now, his work has been coupled to lesser known artists, like Triangulo De Amor Bizzaro.
A visual mixtape for all of you who are working late and sleepingwalking early. To be played in sequence.
I normally don't post mixtapes before I've played them a couple of times, but hell: I know i'm gonna be blasting this one in the car while I put up my deuces and burrrr home for the weekend.
