One of the best Movie Trailers.... EVER
I would say this is probably my favorite trailer of all time. To a movie that,dare I say it, defines a generation. But the reason i posted this trailer was mostly because I just heard that Frou Frou song ("Let Go", the song playing in the background) for the first time in a really long time. And I realized what a masterpiece that song is so fitting to the trailer as well as to one of the themes to the movie.

New Official Bloc Party Album Cover
The album has beeen out for alittle while now but it didnt get an official cover to now. I understand the concept behind this cover, but I dont like how it was executed. I mean it's clearly two check sucking face, and thats fine, but I would of done the shot alittle differently. I actually perfer the first album cover, depicted below.
A Master Painter....
Master painter and self-described “personality portrait” artist SEBASTIAN KRUGER is a force of nature. As a classically trained painter schooled in the tradition of the old masters who just happens to be one of the world’s most incredible caricaturists (and diehard rocker), it wasn’t long before the two modes forever melded. The result is an unmistakably unique fine art style that that the artist has been working to refine—with incredible results—for the better part of two decades now. Now, turning his brush to the blues legends that birthed the Glimmer Twins, the artist has just put the finishing touches on a new “Blues” series that is simply epic in detail. Paying tribute to some of the genre’s foremost innovators including harp player LITTLE WALTER, and guitarists ROBERT JOHNSON, MUDDY WATERS, BB KING, ALBERT COLLINS, and “The Hook” (aka: JOHN LEE HOOKER), Krüger captures them in all their sweaty glory with a touch totally unique to the master.
Chris Rock with Larry King, Pt1
I've always love his HBO Specials, this one will be just as hilarious as the other. I cant wait to watch it when it Premieres Sept. 27.
Fleet Foxes - Blue Ridge Mountains
Ok so I meant to post earlier this week but I forgot. I heard this song for the first time on monday, thanks to my roommate. It completely blew me away and instantly became my favorite song, and still is. It's definitely one of the best songs to come out this year. The album is itself is decent, but I actually think their EP(Sun Giant - EP) is more consisent. I personally think that as great as this performance is, the album version is still much better, if you can believe that. I have a chance to see them in a week or two although I'm still debating on whether to go or not. Nonetheless, I'm going to post the lyrics because it, along with everything else in this song is what makes it perfect.
My brother where do you intend to go tonight?
I heard that you missed your connecting flight,
to the blue ridge mountains, over near Tennessee.
You're ever welcome with me any time you like,
Let's drive to the country side, leave behind some green-eyed look-a-likes,
So no one gets worried, no.
So no one gets worried, no.
But Sean don't get callous,
I'm sure it'll be fine.
I love you, I love you,
Oh brother of mine.
In the quivering forest,
Where the shivering dog rests,
I will do it grandfather,
Wilt to wood and end.
And the river got frozen,
And the hole got snowed in,
And near the moon glow ride,
Till the morning light.
Terrible am I child?
Even if you don't mind,
In the quivering forest,
Where the shivering dog rests,
I will do it grandfather,
Wilt to wood and end.
And the river got frozen,
And the hole got snowed in,
And near the moon glow ride,
Till the morning light.
Terrible am I child?
Even if you don't mind,
No.
Stole this from the Sartorialist
One my favorite blogs to check nowadays. I also jacked this comment that pretty much says it all thanks conor!
There are a lot of clever things going on here. Chiefly this gentleman knows how to dress for his body size. His trousers are perfect and show that a cuff can work well. The blue-black rule-breaker doesn't apply in this case because he tops and tails it with the brown suede shoes and the light tortoise/yellow Gregory Pecs. The hair is perfect - just worked correctly even though it's receding. He's a thinner fellow than most, but the coat on the shoulders adds dash, gravitas and retired Muskateer presence. Finally, Esquire writer Tom Junod's legendary 'Top Fashion Tips from my Father' article which contains the rule about 'a black turtle neck is the single most flattering thing a man can wear because it places your head figuratively and literally on a pedestal' applies here: he's got a great profile and carries himself with panache. If you were going to meet your banker, surgeon or confessor, who would you rather meet, this blade, or Mr Fitzwell from a few days ago? No contest.
The shoes and the jacket are impeccable. I can only hope to have 1/2 that much style/sophistication/swag/charm when I hit that age.
Amazing Live Tagging with the iPhone

Megan Fox GQ Photo Shoot
Terry Richardson x Barack
2011 Chevy Volt
all i gotta say is great job on the aesthetically, that car looks great. *applauds* definitely the best looking hybrid car out there. This plug-in hybrid can drive up to 40miles just on electricity. Which is just right for an average daily commute. not bad for a 1st gen i'd say. lets hope price tag will be reasonable.
