Grizzly Bear - Two Weeks

I seem to be finding less and less inspiring stuff these days. Hmmm, maybe that's and issue with me.
Well, this caught my attention. I have no idea what it's about, I think it might be about two homosexuals (that's another blog post itself). Not that I'm homosexual, but this video is one of them videos that makes you feeling good inside, very happy. The bright colours, the animation, the soundtrack, all collectively create this cool piece of film (or whatever you want to call it).
It's hard to believe that this video is a fan video by someone called Gabe Askew for the song "Two Weeks" by Grizzly Bear.

My Vivienne Westwood crush

Firstly I would like to state that I'm am by no means a VWH (Vivienne Westwood Hag). I came up with that title myself because it fustrates me, along with pretty boys. A VWH is someone who wears Vivienne Westwood sheerly for her status...they're pretty much groupies! I think that should be the new name...VWG (it stands for Vivienne West Groupies, just incase you didn't catch that). They buy her products not because they love them, but because they feel like they have couture and style if they do. So they buy the SAME THING as EVERYONE ELSE!!!! AAAHHHHH!!!!! FUSTRATION!!!!

Anyhoooo. I was out in Leeds for a job interview, and was window shopping with my legendary friend and aspiring fashion designer (and my potential personal stylist). We decided to browse timidly and green-eyed in the Vivienne Westwood shop. After scanning the menswear, I Skimmed through the railed and stumbled across this tasty little number.





After struggling to put it on (due to me being delinquent for a second) I'll be honest, I rocked this top with a must better swagger than the guy in the picture. I'm not being arrogant but I look HOT in it. I gave it a "Robin Hood meets Pharrell" type of fusion (not Pharrell's style, more so hit sound). I would wear this EVERY SINGLE DAY! And if anyone confronted me, I would tell them "At the price I paid, I'll do what the heck I want with it". Indeed, losing my breathe at the altitude of this steep £600 price tag, I brattishly put it back on the rail and moved on.

Oh Vivienne Westwood hoodie, you'll always be in my heart!

Run This Town (official video)

I don't know if you could tell (search: Run this Town) I was trying to keep on top of the hype with this "Run This Town" video...why? I really don't know :S
Anyhooo, thinking I'm ontop of the hype, I flick over the TV, only to find the full video...ON MTV!!!!! Screwing!!!

Here it is!


(I'm confident that this vid will be taken off the net)

The Perforated House by Kavellaris Urban Design

This house is amazing. The more and more I see houses like this, the less and less I want to live in a mansion (haha).
Well...this house speaks for itself...infact, I'm pretty sure it's using a language of it's own. I'm sure you'll pick up the lingo after seeing these pictures.
I didn't want to bombard you with pointless pictures of the interior because the main feature of this house, it the exterior. However, the inside of the house is pretty lush (once again, apologies for using that word) too.












Apartments in Tallinn, Estonia, by Kosmos

This house is LUSH! Apologies if that's too much of a metro-sexual -if not, feminine - word for you but I think it describes it pretty well.
I'm loving architecture that's breaking boundaries and using "geometric" designs (if that's the right word to use). Architects are doing this so frequent that it's becoming the norm...THEN WHAT????
Well...you know me...I'm not into all the jargon so here's the pictures.

The Fray - Heartless (cover)

The Fray's cover of the classic Kanye West song "Heartless".
This could possibly be the best cover I've heard yet...(and this video is amazing too. Another quality film meet animation)

Run This Town (video preview snippet)

I don't know why I'm giving this song so much hype cos I don't even like the song that much. I'll be honest though, it is SLOWLY growing on me (emphasis on slowyl).

Anyway, I feel I can't really pass judgement on this video because of the lack of quality but here is it anyway.

Tom Ford: The Legend that is.


Okay...so...I'm having like a business meeting kinda thaaang with my bredrin Holoman, the legendary vocal extraordinaire (he will soon have a blog post of his own. But, time goes by, and closing to the meeting, we start - for some reason - talking about fashion. So, he starts telling me about Tom Ford, the name, I'm familiar with; his works, not so familiar.
NEVER have I seen some one's creations, and been in love with EVERYTHING! Not only was I in love but, I would actually wear every single one. The thing I like about his website aswell, is the slim model, posing in his suites for every photo (cos I'm not the henchest of brothers).
On the down side are his prescription glasses, and his perverted unnecessary nude advertisements. I'm also yet to inhale his fragrances.
Anyhoooo....there was way too many pictures to post up on here, so here is a random pic from google. Be sure to check out his website too:

Legion: Red Band (Trailer)

The synopsis: 'Legion'. Trailer for the upcoming horror/thriller movie.
*****WARNING: MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY*****
When God loses faith in Mankind, he sends his legion of angels to bring on the Apocalypse. Humanity's only hope lies in a group of strangers trapped in a desert diner and the Archangel Michael (Paul Bettany).


A warped twist on the facts of the apocalypse. Wow!

Amazing Photo's by Jake Chessum

Something that I struggle with...simplicity. Well...simplicity that still looks good. Which is something I feel that Jake has mastered. These picture are so simple yet so affective...or are they?

Run this Town - Video Shoot!

Here are some pics from the video shoot of "Run this Town" by Jay-Z ft Rihanna and Kanye West. I like the song but I don't love it. However, these pictures from the video look pretty amazing. It gives it like, a united tribal kind of look. I look forward to the vid!

My illustration on photography

This is my attempt at illustrating over photography. I just used an old issue of The Source that I had. Not bad for my first attempt aye?
I really didn't know what to do over the top so I pretty much did anything. It wasn't meant to be nothing major, I was just having a bash at it.
Ya dig?
