Down in the Treme.
May 31st
this was meant to kickstart some appreciation for the new HBO drama (?) Treme – however time constraints make it so that your going to have to instead make do with some John Boutté – who’s tremesong will now forever be known as the Treme Intro -
Treme’s certainly a slow burner but once you hit that point, they’ve got you for the long haul. Some fascinating press (mainly US) surrounding it too – which I hope to touch upon post academia.

Have been meaning to mention Wholesome for a while now -
the launch of the online store thus provides me with the perfect opportunity to convert intentions to actions.
for your skating needs, you’ll be hard pushed to find a store as friendly and welcoming
And if you do, it’s probably that friendly-for-your-cash-type-of-friendly (Istanbul Grand Bazaar type of friendly. . ) .
The balance is right – you don’t get rushed, you don’t get leered at.
my first few trips to the store have reminded me of the service I should be expecting on all niche retail visits. I do not want to be greeted with levels of pretentiousness. Or be frowned at because my turn up’s aren’t crisp enough. Isn’t what it’s about.
The shopfloor is also particularly handsome.
basically – - >W H O L E S O M E L O N D O N .
It’s about more than the products. .
She’s on my BBM.

Un homme qui crie
May 17th
spent some of the afternoon digging on the Canne ‘In Competition’ shortlist -
this (so far) looks to be the most interesting (to my taste at least), Mahamat-Saleh Haroun’s uniquely spun tale of present day Chad.
trailers for the french speakers. but plot summary for the Anglo’s -
Who dat? Who dat?

i understand people not feeling any of Drake’s music,
but why aren’t they recognizing J.Cole’s
How come?
Has he been boxed in before he’s even started?
“Roc Nation deal? Eughhh commercial”
….wrong.
from my slightly ill informed perspective – this should bang regardless of which hiphop era you were birthed in. take it for what it is.
Wilson Brothers @ Nike 1948
May 13th
new installation by the Wilson Brothers for Nike Stadiums over at Nike 1948 (London) -
as with everything that Nike have staged there to date – this looks brilliant.
Wilson Brothers have more pictures over at their blog
as do Nikebeast.
Visit.

when I hear a beat like this it reminds me how far funky still has to travel.
Out now on Man Recordings – Bert On Beats & Anbuley
hopefully this will be slept on until I make my debut behind the wheels. All depends on the 50 of you who read this, and how many friends you all have. Ssssssssssh.

most of the time R&B is about working with Tricky Stewart and Terius Youngdell Nash.
in my mind anyway. and evidently – Ciara’s. Maybe thats enough to constitute us being friends.
