lovin’ lanvin – only the future will tell

it’s always tricky to accept that the lines we feel deep deep love for may not deliver when it comes to the apparently cool collab with also lovable h&m.; 1+1 should = 2 but hasn’t always in the past. we will have to wait until november 20th to sort out all of these mixed emotions with lanvin’s turn. in the meantime, enjoy the full collection video. by kl

adam green and the moldy peaches: who’s got the crack?

not that the topic of the song is that invigorating but the delivery is indeed.

thanx to CM, i’ve been listening to the moldy peaches the past few days, and must admit they have something special. don’t love the unnecessary graphic verbage but they top the charts for not giving a shit and that is in itself quite cool. the favorite track by far is “new york city’s like a graveyard” a good one to get a sense of the band. the first time i heard “who’s got the crack” was by pete doherty on an unreleased copy of the babyshambles album, and was surprised to find it was a cover as it’s so relevant to mr. doherty himself. by dd

lady gaga: once again fighting for the good of all mankind

thanx terry, but no thanx lady gaga. doubt if anyone who’s actually reading this blog will disagree with your “so controversial” message but will you please shut up and stick to your deeply progressive pop lyrics?  you know, like that line “baby is a bad boy with some retro sneakers”…which made such an impression on the youth movement of today.  we’re a little sick of every two bit celebrity taking up “a cause” to blatantly further their career.

first off the bigots in washington who are creating such absurd laws don’t exactly listen to your albums, let alone your advice.  secondly, half the members of the senate who voted in the law are probably closet-case-queens pandering to their redneck voters. they are doing exactly what you’re doing. in other words, doing whatever it takes to further their career. if you guys actually have a brain to think and care for something, how is it that all the concerns are around such agreeable issues within your audiences? that’s because your PR handlers tell you what causes to take on. god forbid any of you stand-up for something you care about that happens not to be popular within your “customer” base, like zero population growth, G8, indigenous people of (insert country here)… i guess those guys don’t buy concert tickets, or do they? by xy

YSL manifesto with Daria Werbowy

must say i hate the usual bullshit brand videos. the typical, glorifying, amateur, behind-the-scenes of kate (at best) swinging her hair in the wind; but, inez and vinoode rocked this one. the locked down camera, dead simplicity, gorgeous silhouettes of stefano pilati, “invisible” track and daria in the best wig hairdo i’ve ever seen. drooooool. almost as hot as the fella kuti video in his trunks. by dd
