MEDIA DAY MADNESS

Mykal — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 18:42:29 +0000

There are very few things in this world that make me happy and cars are one of them. It’s something I’ve been addicted to since I was a kid. A few times a year the kid inside me comes out and I turn into a total car geek for 3 days.
My conversations involving: music, babes, and meaningless parties are replaced with motor swaps, horsepower, roll cages, and suspension. Sometimes it’s hard to communicate that passion to people but I’m glad that I have a handful of friends who share my same nerdy obsessions.
Speaking of, last Tuesday was Media Day at the Long Beach Grand Prix’s Formula D event, and I called two of my clossest car nerd friends. (Paul and Phil) And we headed down to the shoreline to see what trouble we could get ourselves into.

There is MUCH MUCH more on this post coming soon… but here is a little teaser video that PrettyboyPaul put together that should give you a little glimpse of our day.

Make sure you check back later for our full Media Day coverage, there is some stuff in there that even blew OUR minds!

SEAN ROMAN – LICK

BREAKBOT – BABY IM YOURS (SIRIUSMO REMIX) (via it’s the money shot )

FEEL GOOD FRIDAY: DETACHMENTS

prettyboypaul — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 21:06:21 +0000

This Friday I bring the noise with something dark, raw and most importantly sexy…

The Detachments hail from the UK and play music in the vain of early Cure (Pornography and Disintegration LP), Joy Division and Kraftwerk. They are aesthetically exactly what I expected when I first heard “The Flowers That Fell”, clad in post-punk Berlin noir and skinnies. I’ve provided you with the soundtrack for the car as you battle the streets and this weekends “Epic Rain”.

DETACHMENTS – THE FLOWERS THAT FELL

DETACHMENTS – H.A.L. (ANDREW WEATHERHALL DISCO DUB)

FEEL GOOD FRIDAY: TOKYO SEX PISTOLS

prettyboypaul — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 00:01:43 +0000

Today I post an homage to the Japanese Fashion Dream Team aka the JDM Rat Pack that is Hiroshi Fujiwara (FRAGMENT, SOPH.), Jun Takahashi (UNDERCOVER, NOWHERE), Hikaru Iwanaga (BOUNTY X HUNTER) and Nobu Kitamura (HYSTERIC GLAMOUR). A reocurring theme in all of their designs is the heavy presence of punk rock, especially apparent in Hikaru’s BOUNTY X HUNTER line (Mykal’s favourite). Hiroshi Fujiwara has grown and his desings have naturally matured to a more casual aesthetic, though his approach can be considered unconventional, much like punk rock itself. His music has changed from thrash to collaborations with mister Slowhand himself, Eric Clapton and guitar work for Nujabes. The dark and brooding tone of Jun Takahashi’s line UNDERCOVER has always captivated me and inspired the production of a few of my films. Before they became today’s tastemakers they played together in a band called THE TOKYO SEX PISTOLS, enjoy a rare glimpse of them performing…

Young Hiroshi Fujiwara, hahah…

HELLO KITTY / GOODBYE SANITY

Mykal — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 21:00:34 +0000

Last Sunday I had the pleasure of spending my entire evening in LA and my first of three stops was the Hello Kitty exhibit in Culver City. I just want to let everyone know that I am NOT a fan of Hello Kitty and to be honest I really dont understand the point of it but for some reason every girl I know is obsessed with that retarded cat with a giant head

Since we were all planning on going to visit this exhibit anyways, GMO, JENNY, KAYLA, ANIA, PRETTYBOYPAUL and I all headed up to Culver City to see what all the buzz was about.

As soon as we got to the Royal/T cafe / gallery in Culver city I officially knew what obsession looked like. I knew there was a lot of Hello Kitty memorabilia out there but I had no idea that it was on this scale. I took my camera out and started shooting photos of everything I could but I know that I probably missed a good 80% of what was there. On top of that, all the Hello Kitty goodies were behind what seemed to be bulletproof glass so I couldnt really shoot any photos with a flash. (please excuse the underexposed photos) While Paul, Jennie, Ania, Gmo, and Kayla were running around Royal/T like kids in a candy store I cruised into the gift shop where , to my delight, they had just about every KAWS piece of furniture I have had a wet dream over at one point in my life. Yeah I know KAWS shit isn’t really that hard to come by, especially now a days, but I still love it. After I was done crying over the $10,000 KAWS wish list I decided to catch up with the rest of the crew as they lost their minds amongst all the Hello Kitty pieces.

As you can see from the photos there was just simply too much pink and white shit to get photos of everything. But we did have some time for G-MO to get some approving in.

After going to this exhibit Im still NOT a fan of that dumb cat but I gotta give it up to Sanrio for making every accessory in the world to help feed the obsession of every girl in America.

SHAZAM – HELLO CAT (via hotbiscuits)

CHROMEO – NEEDY GIRL (DATA REMIX) (via smetnjak)
