None Like Us....So None Like Us
Nothing extra entertaining today. Putting the finishing touches on the music video and on the grind trying to finish out some songs. These next few weeks we should be finishing some things up in the studio so keep on the look out for that. Other then that I am very busy but will try my best to post as often as possible.
There's nothing more that can be said

DJ's style list A-Z
I been gone for a long time being busy so i decided this week i will give you some great things. First this then we will premiere the music video for Psyche Sofa a little bit later this week. You may ask why I am doing this and the answer is that I am obsessed with lists and I can do whatever I want on here. haha.
These are just things I like. Things I feel are stylish and things that I just like and people I admire. So without further ado this is my A-Z style list.
Arcade fire, The- One of my favorite new bands is this Canadaian Indie rock band that took music by storm. Their latest album Arcade Fire took music by storm and was ranked in the top 5 of many publications top 100 albums of 2007.
Batman- My all-time favorite superhero and the character that really interested me in comic books as a young lad. Everything about Bruce Wayne and Batman was always so intriguing and I mean who didn’t like Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. Anyone interested in Batman and wants to get into comics definetly needs to read Batman Year One or The Long Halloween which are both considered some of the best writing in the comic book mediums. Yes I'm a comic book nerd. haha
Curve, Blackberry- This thing will ruin your life if you allow it. It has every single thing you would ever need from a cellular device and things you my not need but love that you have. Anybody who has never had any sort of PDA before and then gets this literally has it attached to their hands at all time. Quite a great milestone in modern technology is the Blackberry Curve.
Damier Azur Print-I have to admit as much as I love LV the monogram was bugging the heck out of me. It was so tired and played that I couldn’t stomach that Marc continued to place these things on every bag and belt. Then this came and I learned to keep my mouth shut when Marc works. This, although very subtle, was just what the doctor ordered to revamp the new LV line.
Entourage- It’s not the greatest writing on TV and not the best acting but darn it it’s a good show. Ari’s quotes every episode make up for everything wrong in the show so it is ok. And I mean you kiddin me? I am Queens BLVD
Ford, Tom- Known mostly for high class sunglasses and controversial ads Tom Ford was settled in a nice niche in fashion and has created one of the most unique overall lines in quite some time.
Grape v’s- My all time favorite shoe. I need a pair.
Home décor-Yes this is not the most popular hobby among males but me I am obsessed with patterns. I’ve always been. So it almost seems like this is something that is putting that to use. I feel like I am a master at color coordinating and designing things with my forte being kitchens and living rooms. I love modern art so I feel my design taste is geared towards that. It was just somewhat of a hobby I picked up from from grandma's magazines and I can say that when I build my dream house it will be dope as heck.
iPhone- My child. Everything I do runs through this. My schedule, music, maps, blog, wikipedia, movie times, ebay, banking, newspaper, Shakespeare, reviews, scores…and oh yea I can call people too.
John Coltrane- One of my favorite Jazz artists ever he changed the face of jazz music during his prime. I feel A Love Supreme should be implemented into children’s learning curriculum in elementary school. That’s how monumental to music I think it was. I fel he is the 20th century’s Mozart as a musician and did unprecedented things with his instrument.
Kobe- The best player in the game fresh off of leading the USA team to a gold medal and being league MVP now will be eyeing a NBA championship as he leads a healthy Lakers squad this season. Easily my favorite athlete right now and his suit game is fresh as well.
London- I need to go there. I love English culture. I want to get a fake Madonna English accent. The Brits have better TV and better fashion and I always wanted to live there for some amount time. Plus the real football is there and so is Anfield.
Marc Jacobs-Overseeing two fashion empires right now Marc is running the designing game on a mainstream level.
Nike Foamposites- One of my favorite designs ever. It brings the sleekness of an athletic shoe and the style of a casual shoe that you can wear with almost anything.
Otis redding- One of the most underrated singers of all time. He had one of the most unique voices in music history and did so many covers of songs and would make them his own. Had he not passed away early I am certain he would have fit into the Motown era and would be more of a legend in music then he is already.
Prince- OK there is nothing more to say about prince as a musician. He plays many instruments and has countless classic albums. What people don’t know is dude made unintentionally funny movies. You can’t watch Purple Rain or Under the chery moon and think its not funny. I dare anyone to say that. Just how he dressed showed how much he cared about what anything anyone said. His swagger was on a thousand million zillion.
Quentin tarantino- Writer and director of some of my favorite movies. He is the last of the classic gritty directors that shot movie genres how they deserved to be shot and brought back the resurgence of plenty of lost genres. He was able to use ideas from blaxploition films, kung fu films and old western films to create something like the Kill Bill series. Or channel the old grindhouse genre and create Death Proof.
Ralph Lauren- its ralphie. He was able to make a clothing line that was accepted by upperclass suits and the hood at the sme time. Such a visionary in fashion still and one of the best dressed old men in the world.
Sin City-The best comic book series I have ever read and the best comic book movie adaptation I have ever read. How Frank Miller created his own world that so seamlessly intertwines with the other stories is amazing and so innovative to the comic book genre at the time. The film was simply amazing and shot in a way that has never been done before. It was a classic in my eyes and did the comic justice.
Takesh Murakami-Quite simply the new Andy Warhol. No one does Pop Art like Murakami. Period. He was handpicked by Marc Jacobs to do work on LV and came out with classic work that made LV important again. Everything he touches turns into gold. The way his mind works is sickening in the most positive way possible. Its unbelieveable how he works.
Underdog- One of my favorite cartoons growing up. I was sad the move sucked and used a real dog instead of cgi. What was up with that?
Vegas, Las- Man one of my favorite American cities.. The lights, the atmosphere is so addicting to me. I would love to live in Vegas for an extended time. Every hotel has so much to do and there is always a good show playing. This is before I’m even 21 too. Once I do turn 21 I may stay for a good week and take a few thousand dollars that I wouldn’t mind losing.
Watchmen-The best piece of fictional writing I have ever read. It is simply amazing and the art work in it is stunning. If this movie is done correctly I have no question it will be movie of the year next year. Great layering throughout the story and a interesting story that is such a satire on the superhero genre. Please read it and you will not be disappointed.
Xbox 360-I like ps3 but I couldn’t think of anything else that starts with an x and I mean xbox is pretty cool anyways.
Yves St. Laurent-The man. The legend. The fashion god. The icon. One of the most innovated minds in fashion history. RIP
Z(S)carlet Johannsen- Yea its not a z. sue me
Arcade fire, The- One of my favorite new bands is this Canadaian Indie rock band that took music by storm. Their latest album Arcade Fire took music by storm and was ranked in the top 5 of many publications top 100 albums of 2007.
Batman- My all-time favorite superhero and the character that really interested me in comic books as a young lad.

APC 2008 Fall Line
Some know APC as a very high quality raw denim brand. While that is true they also are one of many up and coming high fashion lines out right now. A lot of the fall line seems like classic pieces and some interesting edgy things sprinkled in there as well. Personally I love their jeans and coats and a lot of their other things have been growing on me.

Cool vinyl tape decoration
Jim Lambie's colorful vinyl tape is one of my new favorite interior decoration pieces. Some of them really arent exactly home accessible unless you are Willy Wonka but a lot of the solid colors would look really cool in a themed room.

One of the most coolest and innovative movies you will ever see
To anyone who has never seen this movie I certainly suggest you do. It is certainly an amazing and sometimes odd odyssey Spike Jonze takes us through. It frequently explores the philosophy of the mind by using such an offbeat fictional idea to prove many points. I guarantee it is unlike anything you have ever seen before and something I'm sure everyone can enjoy.
LA Breakdown: Track 9- Rush Hour
This song was literally the first full song I ever wrote in my life and coincidentally feel that it is one of my finer songs as well. I actually wrote this whole thing in about 30 minutes and recorded it that night on the spot. I then proceeded to re-record it about a million times because as time passed I just felt I got more comfortable behind a microphone. I felt this song had a lot of substance to it and it has a real catchy hook so I felt this ended as a success.

My TV Show of the Week: Californication
Starring David Duchovny, from his X-Files fame, this show revolves around a writer from New York who moves to LA to turn one of his novels into a movie. He is seperated from his wife and juggles his writers block with problems with his wife and daughter. Pretty normal and bland right? Well the catch is he is a sex addict which means..well that changes everything. Californication season 2 comes on later this month on Showtime.
Pretty cool madden video
One of the more funnier plays I had in madden...Janikowski scoring a td.haha
Really cool lamp
This is a real cool drop light I found that has a unique look to it. I call it the reverse tear drop myself.haha.

The Soloist
When I heard about this movie a while back I was waiting for the trailer to come out. The synopsis was very vague so I was expecting it to be either very good or very average. It had two of my favorite actors in Jamie Foxx and Robert Downey Jr. so I was expecting a lot but let me say I was not dissapointed. Coming out sometime in November I feel this movie will be a very good one.
