Ryan McGinley's Moonmilk.

http://www.ryanmcginley.com/

a series of images in a cave, all nude pretty amazing lighting

i laughed for pretty much an hour to myself when i saw this. not sure if it's the chubs or the choco face or the poor lil pharet in an el myra death squeeze trying to bat his way to freedom, no i can't really say what it is that brings a chuckle to my tummy and a bahaha through my throat but i like it.

Ryan McGinley's photography

this is a legitmate image from some dude i found on facebook............ i have no words.......... just laughter ........ deep gut jigglin laughter. i have no explanation for why i reacted the way i did when i saw this, no none at all. cliche mall walk pose. prom pose,geek who finally got a freak,call it what you will but i think it's the mop and the sneaks conveniently posed in a fourth position (ballet that is) that threw me over the edge with laughter. ohh noo i know what it is, the sweat band and the jorts. errr maybe its the mint green polo in juxtapose with the 80's splatter paint backdrop. whatever it was that made my day thank you mr moppy geeky posed mall walking freak. you made my day!

I seriously remember spinning Pro Nails remixes at least a year and a half ago, possibly longer!

Finally! Kid Sister's long awaited debut album is in stores today - grab it on iTunes, Amazon, the FG webstore (where you can get a handy CD / t-shirt bundle!) and everywhere else fine recorded music is sold.

A new colorway of the Supra TK Society has popped up. Just like every year, when we get closer to the Holiday season, we see an influx of gold ans silver metallic colors in the footwear market. Supra decided to use both at the same time on their new high top sneaker, the TK Society. At this point is is not clear when the sneaker will be released, but we expect to have more info in the coming weeks.

One of hell of a blogger, it's been a year or so. I'm sure I lost the 5 readers that came by. Its been a busy year. Anyways, I do it for me anyways.

Those of you out there that have a sneaker fetish know it's about the hunt. I was in NYC last week and finall found the Allessandro Dell'Acquas I was after all year. So I was browsing Upscale Hype today and came across their post on California brand called Radii. After all the time I spent hunting for the ADA's, it kind of bummed me out a new upstart was so blatantly ripping off their style. Anyways, if you give a shit like I do, you be the judge...

John Legend Gets Krafty....

2008-08-08T10:59:00.002-05:00

John Legend's new song with Andre 3000 called "Green Light" gets a little MSTRKRFT reworking.

"JOHN LEGEND IS THE FIRST ARTIST WE HAVE EVER REMIXED WHO ACTUALLY ASKED IF WE COULD LET KIDS DOWNLOAD THE REMIX RIGHT FROM OUR MYSPACE. WE TOLD HIM IT WOULDNT SOUND TOO GOOD AND ASKED IF WE COULD PUT UP A SENDSPACE LINK FOR THE FULL 320 VERSION. HE WAS COOL WITH IT..."-MSTRKRFT

John Legend & Andre 3000- Green Light- MSTRKRFT remix.mp3

Pretty cool. Gotta love the Jason masks. Speaking of which, I was just listening to a rough mix song that Cary Barlowe (Luna Halo) and Keyboard Guy did up for the new Friday the 13th movie coming out next year. More on that later...

Justice vs. Dior

2008-07-31T09:58:00.002-05:00

Yes, the fashion Dior. It's nothing new for the music world to pair up with fashion labels for runway shows or to even inpire the look of a collection (see MGMT & GUCCI in my archives). However, it's still great to hear what comes out of it. This is the Spring/Summer '09 mix that Justice did for Dior Homme. Theres also a video of the fitting to check out. I also posted the mix that Daft did last year for Louis Vuitton.

Daft???? Is that you?

2008-07-31T09:28:00.005-05:00

So I've been reading all month that Daft Punk has been back in the studio. Rumor has it, that the album’s title is Ballo in Maschera. This track called “Daft Gang” has been floating around blogworld all month. The versions of the track are very low quality but this one that PMA posted is not too bad.

The only problem is, there is no verification of if it is real or not. It's cool in their minimalist electro way, but I kind of feel like this sounds like something from "Discovery" and not Daft Punk in 2008. Another '08 fake? (ie. Justice remixing Coldplay) You be the judge.

(possibly) Daft Punk- Daft Gang.mp3

The Nashville Kings Return...

2008-07-31T09:24:00.003-05:00

Kings Of Leon's new record (produced by their original producer Angelo) comes out Sept. 23rd. You can download a track called "Crawl" from their new record at www.kingsofleon.com. The track is good, but there is a video you can watch, and whatever track is being played in the background is an absolute smash. I will try to find out from Angelo what the name of the song is to give everyone a heads up.

Sitting in style...

2008-07-28T13:49:00.003-05:00

An artist named Lee Broom has been designing neon lights around furniture. It's like formal dining room meets Tron.

I had to post this for obvious reasons after seeing it in blogworld, I mean cmon...

Madonna always works...

2008-07-28T13:43:00.003-05:00

This has been floating around the blog world all of July but I finally had a chance to spin it with Speaker Spell this past weekend at Happy Valley. The results were that it sounded amazing and the crowd ate it up. You gotta love a remix that keeps what you loved about the song in the first place in tact, while still amping it up for a bangin' dance floor.

By the way, that was one hell of a Happy Valley!

Just Chill...

2008-07-23T09:45:00.002-05:00

There's been alot of remix projects that have encompassed old songs and modernized the track while keeping the original integrity in place. My all time favorite is Seals & Croft's "Summer Breeze" (Tsuper Tsunami Remix) but I just discovered (a little late!) another ridiculous reworking of a soul tune. This is off of the Verve Remixes album volume 4 and Diplo is the man behind this laid back track. Check it out...

Holy Light Show....

2008-07-23T09:40:00.003-05:00

Evoke is a massive animated 80,000 lumen projection, which will light up the facade of York Minster.

The lights are brought to life by members of the public walking by, who use their own voices to “evoke” colourful light patterns that appear at the building’s foundation and soar up towards the sky.

Wow, you can't be the combo of a crazy looking cathedral and a light show. Those catholics are a wild bunch!

I always wanted a Delorean...

2008-07-22T11:15:00.003-05:00

I'm a little late to the game on this one, but John Anderson of Honey Pot in L.A. turned me on to Hot Pink Deloreans and I love their mixes. Better late then never...

The UFO project is the concept of artist Peter Coffin and has been realized by Cinimod Studio.

The overall UFO structure is 7 metres in diameter and manufactured of aluminium for lightness. 3000 bright and individually controllable Color Kinetics LED nodes have been arrayed across the structure and are controlled via a solid state computer. An onboard 6 kw generator provides the system power, and the overall UFO can be remotely controllable via SMS messaging. It is suspended from 8 points to a single 50m strop line attached to the Mi2 helicopter above.

The Cold Cut Blog:
http://thecoldcut.blogspot.com/

"Telemitry, take a long, exaggerated bow. For you are the true master. Where have you been for the last few weeks?"

"Since the Telemitry remix of 'Viva La Vida' -which turned it into a sure-fire dance floor hit- I have been waiting for a similar challenge to come along. 'Mercury' is it, and this version of the song is easily superior to the Bloc Party version. Telemitry basically had the balls to do what Kele imagined. This is the definitve remix of 'Mercury- there's no need to look elsewhere. They might as well re-release the single with this as a B-Side. All I can say is, 'well done'"

The Jucuzzi Killers- MP3 Music Blog
http://jacuzzikillers.com/

"I have to admit, I’m usually a little nervous about downloading from an email that is just a link with a song title, but and I’m even more hesitant to post something that I am pretty sure has been sent to just about every site in the blogsphere, but in this case I just had to put those worries aside. Even with my documented dislike of Bloc Party, I couldn’t pass up the chance to share this remix of “Mercury“ re-cut by Tennessee mixer Telemitry with the rest of the world. I really don’t know much about Telemitry, except he takes artists I don’t particularly like (ie, Cold Play) and turns them into something totally listenable. Check it out for yourself."

Quick Before It Melts
http://qbim.blogspot.com/2008/07/theres-someone-id-like-you-to-meet.html

"Who is this masked DJ, and where does he get such wonderfully inspired remix ideas? Telemitry garnered instant praise and respect with his kick-ass remix of Coldplay's "Viva La Vida" a while back, and now he's gone 'n done 'er again: The Telemitry Mercury-mix of Bloc Party's new single, "Mercury," is so far superior to the original track, they may as well just declare it an official remix and be done with it. It's almost like my (sort of) prayers from this past Sunday have been answered. Telemitry has managed to salvage what was--let's face it--a pretty crappy track, and give it new life. Very reminiscent of Phones' (Paul Epworth) remix work; this is a must-have."

MGMT inspires GUCCI???

2008-07-03T10:04:00.005-05:00

So the hype around this band has steadily grown for the past year. Now I read that they inspired Gucci’s creative director for their spring collection 09′ and she dedicates the entire line to the band. I've seen them live and own the record, I think it's OK. Seems to be a little bit of the hype machine in action. It's amazing how far and fast a good buzz will go...

So in the blog world, when you start seeing the same names over and over on several different sites, it catches your eye. This dj has posted two remixes from the new coldplay record (Violet Hill & Death And All His Friends), and a bad ass reworking of Sigur Ros's Saeglopur. The remixes keep the vibe of the original tracks but bring in a bangin' dance floor life. Hopefully I'll be able to keep up with him because he's tearing it up. Check it out...

Well we were joined by probably 1000 in line this past Friday for H&M's grand opening in Atlanta. We planned on a 10am opening and were surprised by a 12pm humid wait instead. However, after sweating our asses off and emptying our bank accounts, we moved on to the nearest Taco Mac satisfied and stylish.

On the music front, here's a couple new tracks to check out this week. One is from Ladytron's latest release. They always reminded me of a electro version of the Cranberries. The other track is a reccomendation from my good buddy RB who always has top notch musical nods.

Telemitry - Remixes:

The other day I was sent a remix of Coldplay's Viva La Vida by someone who went by the name Telemitry. I was intrigued firstly because the name was completely new to me and secondly I hadn't really heard any new Coldplay remixes that were any good. It turns out it's a pretty darn hot cut and like many other blogs I duly posted it and included it in our podcast.

Move on a couple of days, and after a chat with the man himself, I have some other 80s joints that Telemitry put together 'Just For Kicks'. So check these and start getting excited for the future:

Caribbean Queen - Billy Ocean - Telemitry Remix
Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Astley - Telemitry Remix
Viva La Vida - Coldplay - Telemitry Remix

Well the response from the Coldplay remix has been so bad ass, and it's been less than 24 hours. The blogging community has been so supportive so I wanted to give a shout out to them on here. I posted their links as well as a couple quotes on the remix.

Thank you especially to JP's Blog for helping my remix posting reach the hottest post on Elbo yesterday. Also, thank you to The Mix Tape Podcast for including me in their mix this week!

"This remix was sent to me literally like 15 minutes ago. But I really liked it and thought I would share it. It is a remix of Coldplay's 'Viva La Vida'. It gives the song a dance make-over which would be better for clubs. Check out Telemitry's myspace..."

I think I may actually go buy a compact disc next week. I probably won't be able to open it, it's been so long. Some albums just should be purchased in person and not on iTunes.

Here is a review of the record from the music blog "Pretty Much Amazing" http://prettymuchamazing.com/:

Viva La Vida leaks! PMA has an initial review!
Yesterday, Viva La Vida or Death and And All His Friends leaked. And PMA is happy to report that the once-ridiculed band (stemming from a classic 40 year-Old Virgin joke) is now cool to like again. So stop hiding, Coldplay fans. Rejoice. Because Viva La Vida may just be 2008’s best album so far.
“When it started we had high hopes,” Chris Martin sings on “Yes,” one of the ten new songs Coldplay has laid out for us with their new album, Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends. This lyric holds true for virtually all music fans, who had extremely high hopes for Coldplay’s new album following the release of their first single, “Violet Hill,” a near-complete change in the band’s typical style. “Hill” brought out an edgy, rock-inspired side of Coldplay that shook the blogosphere. When “Viva La Vida” dropped, all perceptions of what the new album would sound like were again shifted, as the chart-topping track created an epic, orchestral vibe for the reinvented band. People wondered what exactly it was that Coldplay was going for, and speculation dominated the music world.
After hearing the initial singles, it may not surprise you that Coldplay is now a different band. However, they have not departed too far from their roots- Martin’s recognizable voice remains, and the ambient background noises from the underrated X+Y are still intact. But the typical light piano-falsetto combo has been all but eliminated. The new Coldplay has a harder edge, one inspired by many other bands- but done so without ripping these bands off.
“Life In Technicolor” kicks off Viva by doing exactly what a song titled “Life In Technicolor” should do- paint a picture. A beautiful, instrumental composition of noises, with a building beat leading to a triumphant “whoa-oh-oh” moment, shows off Coldplay’s new stadium sound. It is a telling and perfect interlude, one that lets you know exactly what kind of album you are in for.
“Cemeteries of London” then begins, Martin’s voice deep and creepy. He sings over a barely any instrumentals (just a light, twinkling piano), moaning his lyrics about walking through London at night. “Through the dark streets they’d go searching to seek out a new way, singing la, la la, la la….and the night over London hangs.” Suddenly, a rocking, driving drum beat pushes the song forward, and Martin continues to stretch his voice darkly over the now-heavy synths, guitars, and drums. A cool, Radiohead-esque drumbeat (only the first of many obvious Radiohead-influenced moments) stands out, then gets its own 3 seconds to shine on its own. Martin’s voice finally reigns over the song, giving it a big, stadium feel. The “la-la-la-las” thrown in the middle are dark and excellent, giving off the feel of a demented Irish Pub song. In the best way possible.
When “Lost!” first hit the net, it was released as an acoustic song. You may recall PMA’s speculation that an Eno touch (Brian Eno produced Viva, known for his orchestral/electronic/synthesizer beats) would make the song fantastic. This was very much the case, as “Lost!” comes in with a ridiculously cool pounding tribal drum rythym. The song sounds huge, notably when Martin chants “I just got lost, every river that I tried to cross.” He wisely doesn’t overpower his voice here, doing what he needs to do to accompany the awesome beat. The song also has a touch of organs, maybe an Arcade Fire-inspired addition. “Lost!”- with its epic orchestration, nice lyrics and head-bopping beat- is certainly one of the album’s best.
Martin describes the song title of “42” with this telling quote: “I don’t think you can try to be the best band in the world without having a song that’s a number.” So what was assumed is now proven: Coldplay’s goals are just as lofty as Kanye West’s and The Killers’. The track starts with more traditional Coldplay fare, reminiscent of “The Scientist.” Martin croons powerfully over a soft piano, “Those who are dead, are not dead, they’re just living in my head.” Soft strings kick in, and the song continues as is. You begin to wonder if Coldplay has really changed as much as you thought. But one minute and thirty-five seconds in, the song abruptly changes. To shocking effect. The shift from soft Coldplay piano to an electronic, techno-sounding beat made my jaw hit the ground (it’s a good thing that my jaw is used to this from countless LOST twists). The growing beat blew me away- think the string part to “Live and Let Die” remixed by James Murphy. The song gets huge, with hand-claps taking over, and Martin crying “You thought you might be a ghost. You didn’t get to heaven but you made it close.” Clap-clap-clap. Fantastic. To complete this epic, Coldplay uses the literary device of a full circle ending, repeating “Those who are dead…are not dead…they’re just living in my head,” over a soft piano. Maybe Coldplay’s goal of being the best band in the world is not too ridiculous.
Another side of Coldplay shows through with the very U2-sounding “Lovers In Japan/Reign of Love,” with a driving, piano beat that immediately made me think “City of Blinding Lights.” Martin also turns up the Bono in his voice, over an array of synthesizers, piano, drums, and strings. The song is another example of Coldplay trying to make themselves big, for as the song title suggests, the track is really two songs in one. About four minutes in, “Lovers in Japan” fades out, giving way to the very different “Reign of Love.” “Reign” features a pretty falsetto and nice piano melody from Martin. It is a smooth, beautiful song, but nothing TOO special. I don’t fully understand why the two songs were pieced together, as they are not similar songs and would both sound fine on their own. But it’s fine, Coldplay. I forgive you.
Following the 6:51 “Lovers In Japan,” “Yes” pipes in with beautiful strings, and we think we’re in for another orchestral epic. However, this is not the case, as the strings quickly wail away, and Martin’s voice enters (back in deep, creepy voice mode) with a Western twinge in the back. He chants the song, almost sensually breathing out the lyrics at first. After the boring Western vocals, strings fly in for a solo of their own, giving the song its best aspect, as the vocals drag and become somewhat fatiguing. “Yes” goes on for four minutes before coming to a near-complete stop, then continuing with guitars raining down, providing large-scale, stadium power chords. This second “hidden track” is still a part of “Yes,” but is really titled “Chinese Sleep Chant.” The beat is good, but not great, sounding like an X+Y leftover. “Yes” as a whole is perhaps the one song on Viva La Vida when Coldplay doesn’t achieve the musical moment it desires. This track had no need to be seven minutes long. Viva’s only notable flaw. I’ll take it.
“Viva La Vida” and “Violet Hill” come in order as the album’s 7th and 8th tracks, providing 8 fantastic minutes that more than make up for the 7 minutes of “Yes.” Not much more needs to be said about these two phenomenal songs, both of which have been posted on and analyzed constantly. “Violet” and “Viva” will probably both wind up high on my end-of-the-year songs list. If you were concerned whether or not the songs would fit within the context of album, put those fears aside. They work excellently.
The album’s penultimate track, “Strawberry Swiss,” blissfully begins with tribal drums clearly influenced by the recent resurgence of Afro-pop (Martin also tells that his mom was from Zimbabwe, and he “used to work in a studio where people played that.” ). The drums aren’t the only African aspect, as the song comes complete with a finger-picked guitar and hand-clapping/foot-stomping galore. Staccatto strings build over Martin’s soothing voice and falsetto. The song is the perfect background music to a montage of nature pictures, but not quite as simple as that analogy would infer, as it is musically rich in context. “It’s such a perfect day,” Martin’s faded voice chimes. “Now the sky, can be blue, I don’t mind…without you its a waste of time.” The song is filled with lush, beautiful psychedelic melodies. One of the album’s best.
The album closer, “Death and All His Friends,” makes up the second half of Coldplay’s ridiculous album title, and caps off the 10-track L.P. with a flourish. The song is very typical “Chris Martin And A Piano” for its initial 2 minutes. “So come over, just be patient, and don’t worry,” he sings, assuring us that Coldplay will deliver a great end to the album. And they do. “And don’t worry,” he continues to softly sing. Just as we realize that the new Coldplay wouldn’t keep a simple ballad as their album closer, a pulsing guitar enters, beginning another song-within-a-song “hidden track,” “The Escapist.” “Tryyy” is chanted by Martin over spastically pulsing violins and guitars, creating an instrumental stadium sound that provides a mirror to the album’s opener. Simply put, the song is simply epic piano rock. This is epic and driving music that you really feel. And with “The Escapist,” Coldplay finds the perfect way to end a massively orchestral album- with a full-blown orchestra.
Viva La Vida provides 44 minutes of bliss with so much diversity and ambition that it will be hard to find a music-lover who doesn’t love it. One of 2008’s top albums without a doubt.My ‘If I was Pitchfork Rating’: 9.0

I know there are many cooler places to shop, but if your landlocked away from a major city, the options are slim. H&M opens it's second Atlanta location this Friday,June 13th in the Atlantic Station shopping area. This location will be a two story 24,000 sq. ft. mecca of pretty damn cool and pretty damn cheap clothes.

All you hipsters can knock it, but when your choices are Target and Express, this is a big deal for those of us cursed with any fashion sense.

See you in ATL.

Some other favs:

Urban Outfitters (of course), Zara (also now in Atlanta at Lennox Mall), Armani Exchange(if you can find something without their logo, they actually carry bad ass blazers), American Apparrell, Barney's CO-OP.
