The Constorium of Greater Minds

a collaboration between actress and all around cool girl chloe sevingy (kids, brown bunny, american psycho) and downtown cool kid boutique Opening Ceremony. the line is for the girls but the photography and fashion can be appreciated by all + chloe is pretty easy on the eyes.

looking for light bulbs in the local supermarket and came across this dish towel…say word?

i haven’t seen a film this good in a long, long time

everyone’s favorite dreadlocked german, the dominique formerly known as dj sent me the link to this site. i knew white people were odd but this site is great because everything it picks out is so true – expensive sandwich’s for lunch, divorce, coed sports – so funny because it’s spot on. it’s good to have a laugh at yourself.

i love david lynch…now get real!

ipod no-no, son!

I originally had an article drafted last week on a few interviews I found on the internet by way of the hype machine. But friends of the Consortium, Better Than Yours, put me on to an interesting development — a little blogosphere beef between Heron P. and the writers over on the Complex Blog surrounding an interview Heron did with NYC coolguy A-Ron.

Basically what I drafted last week still applies. Here’s my take on the whole thing:

two famous cool guy creative types + sexy models + old rich people + music by the rza = a belvedere vodka advert? pure HYPE, but, yeah…it’s cool

so i was surfing the apple trailer site earlier this morning and i came across a preview for a new film entitled Redacted by brian de palma from scarface fame. anyway, redacted looked interesting so i visited the official site and from there i found a link to a youtube clip of bill o’reilly ranting on about mark cuban (who financed part or all of the film) and in that video cuban mentions some documentary entitled loose change. so my curiosity piqued i searched for loose change in google and up comes this video. it’s 89 minutes long so you might not sit through it all as i did but i’d suggest sampling it at least partially but do watch it in its entirety if it interests you. now i don’t ascribe to the beliefs of this video, honestly, i don’t have any strong beliefs as to any explanation for the events in question – i simply know something happened and thousands of people lost their lives while at the same a reaction was set off that has influenced politics from the day in question on. i’m no conspiracy nut nor am i a political buff, however, i am an individual that values truth, knowledge and justice and as such found this alternative view on the events in question quite interesting. if you value seeing things from all angles before forming an opinion i suggest you check this out but take it for what it is and understand that today’s mediated news sources – even independent sources like this one are only valuable if viewed with an open mind and can be a dangerous thing when taken for truth by the ignorant.

Just surfing the internet in a daze checking shit out…. came upon a couple of things that I thought were worth posting.

First is this Paul White beat tape over at Dazed Digital. It’s so on point. I’m already on my second listen and it’s quite dope. I’m usually pretty skeptical about things like this but apparently this dude is on the up and up and it’s not hard to see (hear) why.

Next, on a more visual note is a series of pictures taken by Dennis Stock. They’re all from the filming of the Planet of the Apes. It’s great how they capture the spirit of the period and of LA and Hollywood from back in the day. I smell a BAPE tshirt somewhere in the mix.
