Both Louis Vuitton and Trussardi unveiled pieces this week that seem to have an influences from first nations clothes making. Vuitton's "New Age Traveler Backpack" looks like something a post-apocalyptic hero would wear and cary his rations in. Trussardi's high tops (bellow), from the 1911 collection, are a fantastic concept taking the moccasin to new heights, literally.

I've definitely cut back on my fitted hat expenses lately. Winning this could lead me into a deadly spiral.

G.O.O.D Music's Big Sean surprised me with this video. Instead of going with the "well-worn, cliche rap video about a million dollars; with exotic cars, bikini-clad women and the raining money technique" , Big Sean throws his listeners a curveball. Hopefully this song and video help him break onto the major scene after years of being a blog-buzz artist.
Mishka Bloglin's The Sh1tbird mashes together a disturbing German Children's movie and a Gucci Mane and Diplo track off Diplo's new "Free Gucci" mixtape. I don't condone listening to Mr. Mane, but this video is so off-putting it feels right.

Finally! Pizza: The Motion Picture. This premise seems so whacked it may actually work. What I found intriguing about this trailer was that FunnyOrDie has become a movie studio of sorts. The tagline "coming soon to an internet near you" is both parts chuckle worthy and revolutionary.
Spring is just around the corner. A rather large and lengthy corner but nonetheless a corner. To prepare for this shift in seasons one must begin their quest for a fashionable yet functional spring coat. Durable enough for cold winds and rain. Breathable for those surprisingly warm May days. Wings + Horn's spring line has two examples of these features but sadly doesn't meld them together for the perfect spring coat. The trench coat above is a great length, thin and breathable. The jackets bellow look ready for what spring has to dish out. Check out their spring line at the Roden Gray blog.Demarco Castle formerly known as GemStones formerly known as Gemini
Talk about power in words. Demarco Castle blew me away with this verse. Each line outwitting it's predecessor. You may have heard him on either of Lupe's discs singing and rapping under his former alibis. As Gemstones I had heard a few of his tracks like "Benjiman Franklin". The track tells the story of a hundred-dollar bill as it passes thru many hands over a night. Check him out on MySpace.
When the worlds of sports and music crash together the result is always bad. Which bad? I'm not too sure.
Community proves once again that NBC is the leader in sitcom development. Though the ratings would have you believe it was CBS with "Charlie Sheen Smut" and "Doogie Howser and Friends". Community's characters are vibrant and zany yet they make you believe they are real. Joel McHale, who plays the lead Jeff, delivers barbs and sarcastic humour much like he did on "The Soup" but with even less remorse! Chevy Chase, Danny Pudi, Ken Jeong and Donald Glover all have a chemistry that gives this sitcom a sense of reality.
