Neon Indian

One of my favourite artists of this summer is Neon Indian. Their long awaited debut LP, Psychic Chasms, will be out this October. It will be a beautiful medly of synths and unwinding tapeheads. Take a listen below to one of their more popular tracks, Deadbeat Summer.

Sperry x Band of Outsiders

I missed posting this a while back because I had a music history exam to attend to. But I really love these Sperry's Band of Outsiders worked on. I love the materials, and I really love that high cut boat shoe look. That's probably my next footwear purchase I'm looking into. Not necessarily the Band of Outsider's models but just a high-top or mid-cut boat shoe by Sperry. And also a while back, a couple more pairs of Rachel Comey's surfaced up and I just threw them down at the end. I really love those as well.

n.d.c. Fall 2009

I absolutely love nom de code (n.d.c), and probably one of the reasons is because I am able to see them in the flesh so often, since Holt Renfrew stocks a good amount of them. Their beautiful wear-in and classic materials make for an incredibly comfortable wearing experience. Not to mention that they are hand-made in Lithuania. Their upcoming Fall collection looks incredible to me. I do find their shoes going for around $500 in Holt Renfrew, but they do sometimes reach as low as $120 if you go during the right sale at Holt Renfrew Last Call. I actually just made a trip to the one in Vaughn Mills and I'll tell you about some Filippa K pants I picked up at 80% off and what other goodies they had their at the time.

BlommeART

Yessssss. Canadian art forthewin. Mr Brandon Jan Blommeart straight out of Calgary. I find his series of trash monsters AWEsomeNESS. His work extends from painting, drawing, sculpting, sound design and recently... short animations. Thank you 1867 for the incredible art finds from our home and native land.

(and P.S. I DID NOT rip this from Kanye's blog, I prepared this post well before he posted it. I ripped it of 1867 ...lol, which I linked to above, and Kanye probably ripped it off from there too. The 1867 Collective does an incredible job of covering every angle of Canadian art. So yeah, that's where you should go to check out awesome art BEFORE going to the Kanye blog.)

Summer In Seattle

Watching footy from the recent Kanye performance at the G-Shock Party in New York just reminded me of this video... Zlog out in Seattle throws down some hefty summer footy. Nuff said.

The Music of My Week

Um yeah, I just thought for a blogpost today... why not share some new music (new for me at least) that I've enjoyed this past week... I couldn't wait for MusicMonday. A little Japanese Alt, a little psychedelic indie, a little electro-pop, a little experimental... I hope you enjoy.

(p.s. those embedded mp3 players don't seem to be working too well, so if they are not working click on the "track details" link on the bottom of each player and it'll link you directly to the music file. peace)
