Bjork's Music Video "Wanderlust" - WOW!

(image source)

The image above is a still shot from Bjork's new music video to "Wanderlust" (from 2007's Volta). At first glance it looks like awesome set design and art direction- but in reality the video is rendered entirely in 3D- amazing amazing stuff. Leave it to Bjork to up the music video ante once again.

Checkout the video below- all you design, graphics, and film folks especially are going to dig this one. Word up to Big Sam from Bedtime for Toys for the heads up on this:

Banksy exhibition @ The Andipa Gallery in London

Last Saturday, I was lucky enough to catch the final day of the Banksy exhibit at The Andipa Gallery over here in South Kensington, London. It was definitely worth queueing in the rain (twice!) as I am a huge Banksy fan.

I must admit it was weird seeing his artwork on the gallery walls as opposed to say, the wall by Chalk Farm Station (or street side on Beverly for all you LA readers). The gallery was so small that there we literally had to file through in a single line whilst doing a circuit, waiting for everyone to take photos of each and every piece (including me!) However, the fun did not end there, as we were encouraged to walk to the other location of the Andipa Gallery down the street, for a display of his screen prints, where if you had a spare £7,500 (approx. $15,000) you could pick up the cheapest print on display!

One of my favourites had to be the biggest painting on display, ironically titled "Painting Everyone Always Says They Want to Buy but No one Does (Sharks)":

Check out the slideshow below for the rest of the artwork on display:

Here comes baseball season- Air Jordan 1 "Opening Day" edition

(photo source)

Nike is celebrating the start of the Baseball season with the release of this limited edition Air Jordan I called the "opening day." Not sure why His Airness would want to remember this, but the following colorway was done as a nod to Jordan's not-so-memorable career in the minor leagues during his first "retirement" from the NBA. Silliness of the concept aside, the baseball pinstripes and the ball stitching are awesome :


Available at select Air Jordan brand carrying retailers.

Party at new De La Barracuda LA Store Location Today

One of our favorite stores in LA, De La Barracuda, recently moved to an awesome new location (more on that, and photos here). The shop carries a lot of cool stuff from the likes of Stüssy, WESC, Converse, John Varvatos, Nike, Hellz Bellz and more- a lot of these are rarities and exclusive pieces.

If you're in LA tonight and are a fashion of fashion, art, and music, they're having a party at the store- DJ Pubes and Nate Day will be providing the tunes- see details on the invite above. See ya there!

The Work of Artist, "The Mac" aka "El Mac"

(photo source- Juxtapoz)

"The Mac" aka "El Mac" is a multi talented artist that got his start in graffiti as a member of LA's famed Seventh Letter crew. El Mac is well known for being able to create nearly photo realistic images out of paint. The piece above is a more recent work and plays on the whole inverted/solarized effect that you usually achieve in post production by using Photoshop.

I really dig how works such as the above blend classic elements of painting with the raw edginess of street art. The following mural is one of my favorite pieces for several reasons- it is the piece that actually got me turned onto the work of not only Mac, but also of FoundTrack Friend Retna (who was featured at the "Will Rise" show):

True story- I was actually driving up La Brea a few years ago, saw this thing on the side of the street and was amazed by it- I immediately pulled over and put my hazards on, ran out and took a picture of it. Much to my luck, once I got the photo uploaded, I noticed the artist's name on the corner and got in touch with Retna who told me to come out and say what's up while he was painting another mural on Melrose a few days later. You see, Retna and Mac work together sometimes- in the case of this piece, Mac did the painting of the girl's face, and Retna added his signature abstracts to it. Very cool stuff.

Nike x Caol Uno - 10AC Air Zoom Talachie Mid & Lo

These shoes totally caught my eye- the design is original and modern while remaining totally subtle. These particular pairs are the result of a collaboration between MMA fighter Caol Uno and Nike. The white pair has leather panels and the black pair, twill fabric. To add comfort to stylish design, they both feature the Nike Air Zoom insole.

Lil Wayne's been drinking too much sizzurp... "Lollipop" Music Video

Everyone's favorite mad genius (or is it just mad...) Lil Wayne has been drinking way too much of that purple codeine sizzurp he loves so dearly. I honestly can't tell if I love or hate his new song and video "Lollipop." Part of me feels guilty bobbin' to the melody... one thing's for sure- they definitely shot some of this video renegade style. See for yourself:

Hillary Clinton - A Fair and Honest Appraisal by Gill Bumby

Each week our mysterious featured writer, Gill Bumby, provides You, our fair reader, with a "Fair and Honest" appraisal of a public figure. This week we present...

"You give off the impression of being an early riser. You probably wake up at 6:30a every single morning with an exceedingly chipper demeanor and belt out songs that contain lyrics such as 'doodley doo' to the chagrin and dismay of most people around you. After the ritualistic sing-songing i bet its on to your morning pep talk to yourself. Similar to Annette Benning at the beginning of American Beauty who would assure herself with the phrase 'I will sell this house today', your pep talk is probably more along the lines of, 'I will CRUSH Obama today.'
I understand that it is of utmost importance for a potential world leader to give off an air of power and respectability, but the pure androgynous nature of your hairdo is far from flattering. I'm sorry, but I feel that some of your former long-ish styles of yesteryear from your days as the first lady in the White House were far more flattering to your face. All of that aside, you do come off as articulate and I would much rather see you in the oval office than any two-bit cowboy any day of the week."

Overall Rating...7.9

New Speed Racer Trailer

I've got to say, when I saw the first trailer to the new Speed Racer movie, I wasn't too pumped- the CGI looked like crap for one thing, and further more, the Wachowski Brothers' last directorial work on a movie pretty much sucked (think forced Matrix sequels...). This new trailer though has me pretty stoked- the effects look further along and the trailer is cut way better- the vintage cartoon fan in me is hoping for the best (for those of you that don't know the movie is based on a cult classic animated Japanese TV show from the 1960s):

Speed racer jump starts the summer movies season May 9th, 2008- worst case, it can keep us all entertained until Iron Man, Indiana Jones, and The Dark Knight come out...

Classic Music Video - Jeru the Damaja's "Ya Playin' Yourself"

Here's one out of the mid 90s hip hop bag- Jeru the Damaja's "Ya Playin' Yourself" music video. The track was produced by DJ Premier, as was the entire full length album Wrath of the Math. This came out of nowhere in my head, but it was featured on one of my favorite mixtapes of all time (DJ Kinetic aka Brian Zarin's first full length mix on the wheels of steel). Lean back and enjoy- the video features the obligatory mid-nineties hip hop kung fu theme:

New Portishead single - Music video to "Machine Gun"

(click for official site)

I'm a day or two late on this, but big music news- Portishead is set to release their first studio album in 10 years- their 3rd full length LP. Portishead was one of my favorite groups in high school, and I have a lot of cool memories attached to their music. Checkout the music video to their first single "Machine Gun," which was released on their official site- it's a little industrial and crazy, but pretty cool nonetheless (I recommend wearing these sunglasses while watching):

First 2 Photos from G.I. Joe Movie- Everyone's favorite 80s ninja, Snake Eyes

For the summer of 2009, Paramount is making a movie based on another Hasbro toy franchise- a little title called "G.I. Joe." Now, I have to say I actually had no interest in seeing this- the director Stephen Sommers hasn't exactly had a career making movies of substance (wait, but then again neither has Michael Bay). Needless to say, these first two publicity stills from the movie have sparked a definite geek interest. Snake-Eyes was definitely the most badass character on the show:

He's being played by Ray Park (the awesome british martial artist that also played Darth Maul in the Star Wars movies). How do you think he compares to the original?:



* This has been a big week in 80s news- see example here

** UPDATE- JoBlo.com has your first look at ANOTHER character from the movie- the hot tomboy amongst all the dudes, Scarlet O'hara...

The mini-me vehicle features a 5 horsepower motor, a 2 speed transmission, retractable headlights, cd stereo and a top speed of 30 mph- all this for only $25,000!

Barack my World! Endorsements from small places

FoundTrack friend Sunny (an ex Fred Segalite who by strange manifestations of the universe I seem to randomly run into at least once a month) produced this little tidbit that put a smile across my Thursday.

Katy Perry's "Ur So Gay" Music Video

Reigning Champ Spring 2008 Collection

Reigning Champ got it's name from the idea that they want to be the "reigning champ" of sweats. That goal seems to have gotten off to a good start, and now, their Spring '08 collection is out. Love the simplistic basics feel they've got going. While maintaining the simple aesthetic, the collection is definitely cut really well, and all the minor details are awesome.

The flushed pockets, rivets and finer points really make these pieces that much nicer. As I mentioned last week, I'm going to try and feature more items for the ladies going forward. Here's a cool pea coat that kinda has a Nom de Guerre feel to it:

The collection is now available at Haven.

Ashley Youmans (aka Ashley Alexandra Dupré)- "A Fair and Honest Appraisal" by Gill Bumby

Each week our mysterious featured writer, Gill Bumby, provides You, our fair reader, with a "Fair and Honest" appraisal of a public figure. This week we present...

"You seem very adept at making lemonade when life hands you a pile of lemons. You're very attractive in a natural and non-contrived sort of way that makes people like you and want to be liked by you, regardless of your personal lifestyle choices. You radiate an intrinsic friendliness that I think has a lot to do with how you've successfully turned a huge media fiasco, that would ordinarily drag a normal person through the mud, on it's head and made it work in your favor.

You have really nice, full lips and good, high cheek bones. Your forehead is a little on the big side, though. You might wanna consider getting bangs the next time you get a haircut."

Overall rating...9.0

NoPattern - The Graphic Design work of Chuck Anderson

(photo credit Lodown Magazine)

At 22 years old, Chuck Anderson is doing work for clients such as Absolut, Adidas, Dolby, Nike, Nokia, and Triple Five Soul- a feat many older designers have yet to claim. His style combines photography, line drawings, and computer graphics to create a unique fluorescent accented style. In addition to print advertising work, he's also designed fashion pieces such as shoes and jackets, and album artwork for musicians such as Lupe Fiasco:

This crazy piece is a new snowboarding jacket called the "Light Camo" from Burton's '09 Collection:

For more info and a full portfolio of Anderson's work, checkout his official site. A book of his work entitled "Project NoPattern" is available at NP&CO:

London's Decapitator vs Kermit x Supreme

London's street art prankster "The Decapitator" has struck again. His newest target- everyone's favorite Jim Henson Muppet, Kermit the Frog. Kermit has been all over the blog scene this week as the star of street wear label Supreme's new campaign shot by photographer Terry Richardson.
Nostalgia inducing as it is, the whole Kermit x Terry Richardson thing got way over-exposed... this little prank definitely made me laugh. Go Decapitator, Go! What's next for you? Personally, I'd like to see a little battle and/or collaboration between the Decapitator and Banksy (who by the way is starting to paint all over LA again, leading speculation to arise that he might be having a new show soon).

Brooklyn Museum, NY next stop for Murakami Exhibit

After a hyped but expectation-satisfying run in LA, the Murakami exhibit is now heading east to NY at the Brooklyn Museum. The event runs from April 5-July 13, and listen up NYC FoundTrack Friends- the $10 admission price is well worth skipping a few pieces of your delicious pizzeria pizza and deli sandwiches for. The show is being run by the MOCA in LA, so I'm assuming all the same over-the-top madness will be in effect. I mean, c'mon, look at this wackiness!-

Teriyaki Boyz ft Pharrell and Busta - "Zock On" Music Video

A Bathing Ape founder Nigo's protégés, The Teriyaki Boyz, have just dropped the music video to their track "Zock On." The song has a sick Neptunes beat on it- in fact it's so sick that I'd have to say it's better than anything the Clipse got on their LP. The random visual props in the video definitely hint at Nigo's "Otaku" side- Otaku, being a Japanese term for those with obsessive interests (in Nigo's case, high end collectibles)

Oh and one last thing to sell ya on this- somewhere or another Pharrell and the gang managed to find Busta and had him drop the hook on this:
