motown: martha and the vandellas


while we are on that topic, here’s another great clip. more than the song, i love the way they move in the first 50 seconds, so damn breezy and cool. just standing, their feet never move. i’m practicing this starting tomorrow morning… coffee and cigarette in hand. by dd

neither sid vicious nor johnny rotten could ever break the rules and be this calm & cool about it. this kitty belongs on catorialist, better yet in the rock & roll hall of fame, if he’s not in there already.  by pr

dov charney: american apparel ads inner workings

 

o.k. this one above is really hilarious! i mean, what the hell is this?

we’re not exactly the vatican or the women’s front over here, and we have no problem with nudity or political incorrectness, but there is something called taste. unfortunately, you cant buy it in LA. i saw this and had to laugh. i must say dov charney has really set a new standard on how low a company will go to sell you environmentally friendly, american made, t-shirts. he makes olivier zahm look like a gentleman. the one nice thing about dov is that not only he poorly rips off terry richardson, both in appearance and exquisite know-how on the inner working of the art of photography, he proudly panders his co-workers into modeling for him. i wonder when will sexual misconduct knock on his door? maybe after the woody allen law suit finally settles over. at least terry to me, is honest and himself, a true artist you can love or hate but this… is pure bullshit… and there is a world of difference. by xy

tarantino: why top gun is the greatest hollywood script

hilarious clip from the movie “sleep with me”.  my favorite part however, remains to be the rap about the party though…“what is this party? who are these people? they make me sick. what is that? who are you? who ARE you? what is he wearing? some kind of like a dance jump suite, freakish, little guacho, lets go to spain and dance with our arms over our heads…” by ar
