I previously blogged about Kid Cudi, releasing his new album "Man on the moon: End of day” and how much i dug the track "She Came Along." However, his other single is “Pursuit of Happiness” featuring RATATAT and MGMT = AMAZING. In my head, shit like this never happens and is almost too good to be true. Ratatat is my favorite indie producers and whats dope is, they finally got back up and did this new track with Cudi, still sounding like themselves, reminding me why I fell in love with them in the first place. annnnnd that's a big run on sentence on my part. Ratatat makes me swing both ways, i either throw a solo dance party in my room/car or twist up the stress-oh-la and drive to a chill spot and draw. I don't blaze anymore, but still enjoy them thoroughly. I've actually played "Loud Pipes" by Ratatat and drew to the beat/melody...my drawing was some crazy abstract piece with neon colors and dots and dashes and slashes and some other cool rhyming words that I currently cant think of. That was when I was cool and actually sat down to draw..now i just doodle, if that. In conclusion...Ratatat is awesome, and you should be just as awesome and check their sound out. MGMT is just as good. Their videos are bugged out kinda, but dope. So I'm going to read "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius" by Dave Eggers while you download these tracks:
Pursuit of Happiness - Kid Cudi, MGMT and Ratatat
Alive - Kid Cudi and Ratatat
Loud Pipes - Ratatat
Seventeen years - Ratatat
The youth - MGMT
Electric Feel - MGMT
Kids - MGMT

Touch me in the morning and walk away....god dayum these are perfect! Laced up high with mellow yellow laces, equipped with studs, and a top down combo. Not only that but a insole with a inspiring “I’m ten steps ahead of you” quote....it hurts so good.

The September Issue.
Considering it is fashion week, I decided to see "The September Issue." It's a documentary based upon Vogue's editor-in-chief Anna Wintour and her team, ruling the world of fashion. The September Issue is an A&E indie flick, screening in smaller theaters. Anna Wintour is one of, Nah...is, the most recognized fashion icons. Anna was the inspiration behind them movie "The Devil Wears Prada." She is known as "Ice Woman" for her cold stares and cruel remarks. The short film captures her true to form. She is a beast! Creative director, Grace Coddington another genius behind Vogue, showed what its like working with Anna. Even though Grace, nicest of the two, with a soulful side to the somewhat superficial fashion industry. ...was still bad ass. Though, she took in Anna's demands and opinions, Grace agreed to disagree many times, even stepping on toes going against the beasts words. I'd vomit and die.

The Film provides a glimpse into a world many dream about but few see. Anna, owning & seeing every inch of it.

EXTRA BUTTER X MISHKA NYC
Mishka NYC released their Fall '09 collection "Born Under A Bad Sign" The first delivery is now available online @ http://mishkanyc.com/ The line features everything from flannel jackets to sweaters and 12 graphic tee's displaying Mishka's own twist of a Zodiac themed line. Due to Extra Butter; being your Daily Fresh joint & proudly carrying this brand, Jason and his team decided to their very own 2009 Look book. The team gathered up their extended fam and friends to represent each shirt & sign. In my personal opinion they KILLED IT! The Butter Fam, each smoother than the next [haha] are no stranger to getting shit done right while still having a goodtime! I was both honored and thrilled when I was asked to represent Aries and to be apart of this project. [FUN FACT: I'm an inner Astrology nerd] My job was to portray a deadly bad ass Aries image and be responsible to the kill of 2 fellow Aries Russel and Sycko! It was dooope! I discovered that Sycko just might be my favorite Aries, Russel too but, he doesn't have a Rat! So before I present the photos, I will end with a big Congratulations to the men @ Extra Butter! Well done:)
