Nixon

When you go out and purchase items such as watches, shoes, and clothes isn't that an expression of who you are and a showcase of your personality? We all buy items that stand out from the rest correct? Nixon is a company that will definitely fill that void in your life. Nixon says, and I quote; "We make the little shit better". Nixon's product line ranges from not only watches, but bags, wallets, accessories, belts, and many more items both for men and women. Nixon can be found in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific. Now if that's not outstanding, I don't know what is! Want to know more about Nixon? I urge you all to check out the website http://www.nixonnow.com/home/ If you want the little shit to stand out Nixon is a great start. (All pictures taken via http://www.nixonnow.com)

Black Girls Rule!

If you’re into the typical cookie cutter magazine, than TRACE Magazine is not the magazine for you. TRACE Magazine without a doubt is like no other! TRACE Magazines’ vision is to express “Transcultural Styles + Ideas”. Meaning; it’s about “diverse cultures, fashion, art, film, and politics through the eyes of today’s multiethnic youth”. That is the vision that Claude Grunitzky first set out to accomplish back in 1996. Celebrities ranging from Erykah Badu, Mary J. Blidge, Notorious B.I.G., Rihanna, Common, Snoop Dog, up and coming model Arlenis Sosa, and many more have all had the privilege to grace the cover of TRACE Magazine. If that isn’t a diverse list of celebrities than I don’t know what is! If you don’t know, now you know! To learn more about TRACE Magazine check out the blog : http://blog.trace212.com/

CANNABI.... WHAT?

I will keep this brief ... because HONESTLY! I could talk about Erykah Badu for minutes to hours to days to weeks... on&ON. But this isn't just about e.badu, it's about her newest collaboration THE CANNABINOIDS. Now, I have looked this word up before, and it has to do with the brain. I'll let you google it for yourself to get the exact meaning. In this sense The Cannabinoids are several musicians, Badu included, coming together to make Badu's music (which in the past has been very instrumental)... DIGITAL. Proving that she is in fact THE ANALOGUE GIRL IN THE DIGITAL world "OKAY PLAYER"!



The above video will introduce the band... the below video will let you see just how FRESH they really are.

NEED A Q Tip

Kamaal The Abstract - The new album by Q-tip



Here is the video for Life is Better from the Gettin' Up album

"IT'S THAT DIRTY MONEY, Y'ALL"

Diddy / Dawn Richard / Keelina = DIRTY MONEY



After watching Diddy(aka Puff Daddy/Puffy)on Late night with Jimmy Fallon, I realized that Diddy isn't as bad as most think he is. We watch him on ONE million and ONE Mtv shows, and think of him as this DRY YET COCKY MUTHA "WAT" who just wants to make bands (that don't even work). But after seeing his interview, I felt otherwise. Diddy(aka Sean Kombs) gave off a certain humor; that yes, could be taken otherwise. However, I quote the man himself when I say, he said: "I KNOW I'M NOT THE BEST RAPPER". I was sold at that point, for he told jokes and laughed at himself. I felt as though for a moment, I could be down wit' Diddy.



I most definitely will be riding THE LAST TRAIN TO PARIS; which is said to be his most personal album yet. Perhaps, a look inside of SEAN COMBS the person, not the name.

iphone 3Gs

With just about a KABILLION apps, you could not go wrong with the iphone(contrary to belief). The plan is a bit pricey, but honestly the die hard APPLE fans like my self will stand by this product nonetheless.

FRESSSSSH!

Lets shed some LIGHT on the subject!

while thumbing through a pile of back issued DWELL magaizines, I came across the E27 pendant lamp by Mattias Stahlbom for Muuto.

The thing I like most about these fixtures is that they are SUPER SIMPLE in design. I am not flashy, why should my lamps be? They come in a variety of colors, and are FRESSSH.

Brittany WHO?

So I'm on twitter, per usual, when I recieve a tweet from BRITTANY BOSCO. I didn't know who she was, what she did, why she tweeted me. I knew nothing! She had sent me a link to her website featuring her album Spectrum 2.0. I gave the site a once over, previewed a couple tracks; which lead to me downloading the album. I immediatly RETWEETED the link, for the product is GOLD. SIMPLY gold! Brittany's music is a fusion of jazz, hip hop, R&B and SOOOOOUUUUUUL!

Get your HD listen on

So you know those Mac commercials with that nerdy kid from the latest Die Hard movie? The one where Bruce Willis is shooting (American) terrorists from his wheelchair while trying to keep his dentures in? Anyway, the commercials air on almost every channel and they basically make fun of Microsoft by pointing out obvious flaws in Billy Gates' flagship operating system.


Well I think Billionaire Billy may have taken the TV spots personally because Microsoft is releasing the Zune HD on September 15th. What is the Zune HD? It's an Apple Ipod...on steroids. With HD video output, a touch screen that puts Apple's to shame, an HD Radio, and wireless syncing, it's safe to say the Zune HD may even come with a preloaded video of Bill Gates bitch-slapping Steve Jobs. In short, this new Media Player may actually do what no other player has been able to do: give Apple some competition on the digital music front.



Another aspect of the Zune that sets it apart from the Ipod is the software. It acts as a music discovery engine, recommending music you may like based on previous listens. It also brings listeners together through a social community, linking them by similarities such as artists, album plays, and music genres.

And although this is the fourth Zune to be released, the HD's predecessors always seemed to fall a little short in regard to the industry leading Ipod. Just as the 120Gig Zune was released to compete with the Ipod classic, Apple dropped its top selling touch screen Ipod, obliterating any chance Microsoft had of taking the lead in portable music sales. Will this be the case this time around? Will Apple release some futuristically new-fangled Ipod with invisible headphones that can store a billion and six songs? Guess we'll see. Until then, check out the specs here: http://www.zune.net/en-us/mp3players/zunehd/default.htm


So.....GET YA ONE!!

LET THE BEAT ROCK!

You would be on some serious CHRONIC, not to think these headphones by Dr. Dre and monster aren’t the freshest we’ve seen thus far.

Beats come in a variety of colors, and you can take your pick between over ear and in ear phones. I tested Beats by Dr. Dre, and I promise you, YOU won’t miss a BEAT!





Get you some,
