RDGLDGRN ARE GO GO!!!
PMay 22, 2013
Indie Go-Go is a great new (ish) genre in the ever-changing melting pot that is musical genres. RDGLDGRN (pronounced REDGOLDGREEN, the colours represent the names of the members) are from Virginia, a musical melting pot in itself. Their new single, Million Fans, fuses hip-hop, indie and go-go (a sub-genre of funk) to produce a fresh sound pushing the boundaries of what you’ve ever heard before. The video is a winner too. Check out the Chelsea jersey on GREEN (the colour is manipulated from blue to green by a lens for the purpose of the video) and the United jersey on RED while the band play keep-uppy on a rooftop. Love this. Anything with a bit of green and gold in it is a winner for me.
Red shoes…

I’m on a bit of a red shoe buzz at the moment. Especially on black like this.
Heel Bruise – great tee-shirt and accessories label.
PMay 22, 2013
You will nearly always know a good label by it’s name. If I don’t like the name initially Im rarely interested. A label name should grab your interest from the off. Heel Bruise got me interested right away. Its a skateboard label (hence the clever name) based in South California founded by two friends, Richard Mulder and Thomas Yu, to represent, dress and respect their skateboarding background and the skateboarding community and heritage. The tee shirts and clothing are fresh and original and the website is really interactive and multi-dimensional with a blog, shop, installations and information on community projects and collaborations the brand has undertaken. They also do a great line of skateboard-related accessories like wallets, socks and keychains. But the name is still the best thing about it for me. Browse the site here. http://www.heelbruise.com/
Plaxico Burress – Men’s Hosiery.
PMay 22, 2013
NFL star Plaxico Burress is famous for being a footballer and also so shooting himself in the leg in a club one night. He has just released a range of “luxury hosiery” for men. Hosiery I hear you say? Yes hosiery. Isn’t hosiery for women I hear you say? I thought so too. Apparently not in the States. In the States hosiery refers to men’s accessories too, like socks, underwear and vests. Burress is a wide receiver, playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers franchise and regards himself as a man of style. Though he’s still living down the whole shooting himself in the leg incident. I like how this shoot for his hosiery range is styled. Socks hoiked up over your trouser suit leg?? Why not?
New Kanye – New Slaves.
PMay 21, 2013
This single, New Slaves, from Kanye’s upcoming album Yeezus, was released via projections on buildings in 10 cities. Great way to release a single, just not sure about the single itself. What you reckon?
Kanye’s new Yeezus album cover
PMay 21, 2013
No, I’ve no idea what’s happening here either…..Probably a lot though with Kanye West’s love of metaphor and art in mind. No doubt this album cover is full of hidden meanings and significance. We shall find out more as we go no doubt. Great album name though. Yeezus? These rappers all have a Jesus complex.
