But soft...

I just finished watching William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, with Leonardo DiCarpio and Claire Daine. If you have not seen the movie, it is the story of Romeo and Juliet in modern Venice Beach, yet in the same dialect of the original play. Love that movie, the colors are so vivid and the director's interpretation of such a classic iconic play is very refreshing. Not to mention the soundtrack.

One song I like in particular is "Everybody's Free" by Quindon Tarver. That little boy can blow.

Love Her

Grapes anyone?

Theophilus London (great name by the way) is a up and coming underground rapper with a sound I haven't really heard before and his style is something to pay some attention to (check out his shoes in the video below). I came across his music by luck. He happens to be my facebook friend...I don't even though how that happened, but his videos are very entertaining. 

Cold Pillow is one of the tracks from his mixtape entitled This Charming Mixtape. I haven't heard too much of his material, but if its anything like this song I predict a great future for him in the music industry.

I heard it gets pretty hype at his concerts.

The Thin Line

I understand with clothing that there is a thin line between being fashion-forward and just doing too much. Most clothes on the runway don't translate very well or shouldn't be worn at all on the streets of real life, that I understand as well. 

 But this...

the tights with the shorts

I think I could pull off. 

Terry Richardson

I just love how you can always tell it's a Terry Richardson photo by just looking at it. 

Next purchase....a camera

Thanks Kanye

We talked a little bit before about having rivals, people who are your creative opposite. 

It doesn’t drive any creation for me—I’m gonna do what I do regardless—but I appreciate when bad things happen. Obviously, when you listen to this album it’s very personal. And I just think that if I hadn’t been through the terrible things that I’ve been through, that I was the victim or the cause of, that I couldn’t deliver art on this level, and that’s the good out of it. 

...this meant alot.

Streetlights - 808s & Heartbreak

I'd say I messed up

Done things I shouldn't

At the time, maybe, it seemed like a good idea

But now I know it wasn't

Yea I'll take full responsibility for that

Because in all reality I wasn't thinking

Yet in my defense, sometimes it easier not to

The pain of my thoughts have me sinking

Especially considering how life's turned out

I'd say I messed up

Isn't that what you want to hear, right?

Said one or two many lies too much

Would've thought to just keep my mouth shut

But that doesn't do any good these days either

The truth does come out anyway

Well most of it does

And thats a good thing for you

I doubt you could handle all the truth

I'd say I messed up

Priorities screwed up, ambitions tainted, hope demolished

Tarnished brass once polished

I clearly see the problems

You've mapped them all out for me

But let's just say, I am a product of my raising

And not all of the fingers should be pointed at me

Yet I still try not to show resentment 

Despite of the fact it seeps through my pores

I'd say I messed up

I face the brutal consequences now

Honestly, I've seen it coming for a while

Been collecting bottles of water and canned foods

AA batteries, flash lights

Even nailed boards over the windows

I've prepared for the storm

Gotten pretty numb to the situation completely

I hear thats called a mental defense mechanism

Maybe so, but I've grown so tired of crying and fighting with myself

Tired of smiling when there's nothing to smile about

MP.

This is pretty dope...

BTW, We play this song at Club Monaco all the time and I didn't know the name. Thanks Iphone!

You already know how this will end...

I'm not a big fan of video games, but the music for the Gears of War 2 commercial is pretty nice. Just close your eyes and listen.

So I just saw the new James Bond movie with Bobbie, Quantum of Solace, the action was great and so where the clothes. Plus I'm a fan of Daniel Craig, but the story line was hard to follow and a little uninteresting. I was a disappointed that 007 didn't have any of his usual cool high-tech gadgets this time and he only got laid once. It was rated very well by the critics though and I'm sure it's doing well in sells.

One thing that wasn't uninteresting was the theme song. We all know that every Bond movie has a theme song, this one came by Alicia Keys and Jack Black called "Another Way To Die," which I was unaware of until the movie actually came on. I was bumping my head like shit.

Twilight Movie Trailer

Opens this Friday

I can't wait!

Retro Eye Candy

I came across this fashion spread and article months ago from a magazine, I forget the name (Sorry...so sue me!) with Justin Timberlake in a tux on the cover, but I thought it was fitting to post because it coincides with my current obsession with the 70's. 

The models are Dhani Harrison, The Beatle's George Harrison's son (he's a spitting image of his Dad), and Isabelli Fontana. These pictures are exquisite from the clothing, to the location,  facial expressions, chemistry...and I could go on.

 My eyes are in heaven.

Time to go to the thrift.

I F*CKs With This Too

Coldplay- Lost feat. Jay-Z Official Video

Great cinematography. Jay's verse is dope, as usual. I also enjoyed Chris Martin's little stage dance.

This song is from Coldplay's new EP Prospekt's March. Prospekt's March contains the left over songs planned for the Viva La Vida album. 

Don't you just love this picture of them?
