NBP introduction.
Dec 28th
i’ve meant to do this all year -
or at least something similar.
(my initial ideas are always greater than the final output)
seeing as it’s year end I thought I could give the post a shiny name
and title it as a grand roundup of NBP‘s top 8 photo’s from 2010.
but . . . whatever way I look at it or joke about it , the fact remains that the man is one of / if not my (probably joint) favourite photographer(s)
& don’t let the wording complicate that – the bottom line is that i adore his work wholeheartedly.
documenting life, seeing what we miss, defining the perfect work/life (1 & the same) balance
& selecting, presenting it all for us tidily as he goes
the only caveat to his talent is that maybe it’s just the parisien way of life which I find so attractive
maybe it’s just a lifestyle that any man and his lense could capture this well.
But in all honesty, i completely refuse to accept that.

Tenue de Nîmes
now have a nice virtual shop space to play not quite as beautiful sister to their physical hq.
an imprint who have held my attention for many years -
possessing a clear understanding not only of their products but also of the thin line a brand must tread to remain both authentic & relevant at the same time
I’ve never met them, but I feel certain they care.
& that’s a wonderful space to be in. both for me and for them -
I will be sure to visit when I am next in the area – Amsterdam – but until then I shall be paying close attention to the www.
zero to do with christmas.

i just heard it + enjoyed it.
+ wanted to record that feeling here.
it’s by Milyoo. someone who might/might not blow up in 2011.
(he’ll appreciate the wit attempt … )
it’s got that thing that you can’t quite put your finger on. that makes it listenable againandagainandagain.
but don’t over analyse. just listen -
all wintry and what not

‘Ye heads to Harlem on a tricked out sleigh with G.O.O.D Music in his Santa bag
picking up those U.N. boys and Byrd Gang’s own on the way
not to mention a gifted lady by the name of Teyana (whose voice should be wrapped in tinsel and merriment) ridin’ shotgun
like a sexy reindeer (no bestiality)
James Brown’s Funky Christmas is STILL on deck but this is illing
Merry Xmas.
To those who believe.

I didn’t mean to do two Kenneth Whalum III posts in quick succession.
I didn’t.
but I guess it works -
the man + his band (which I ‘think’ is the glasper / daddy dave band) have a new album (post title^) coming tomorrow (21st).
another member of the jazz new guard.
+ i think the video will do more to draw you in more than any more staccato from me
#offline music.

Dec 11th
there isn’t really anything that revolutionary said in this video but I wanted to pass it on to show one of the most unique streetwear stores i’ve ever come across
of course via hypebeast
+ of course if your ever in amsterdam – patta & precinct 5 are the places to soak up those euros.
