P.O.S. - DRUMROLL



More P.O.S. in the '09 for all you suckas! No, but seriously, I've had this kid's music on heavy rotation for a while now and I'm not getting tired of it. That's rare these day. So I had an obligation to share. This is either the third or fourth track of his that I've posted on this blog. Either way, I'm only scratching the surface. And every track, the man just gets more raw. He and Asher Roth may be the majority of what I'm championing for the next few weeks, months, we'll see.

And this video? Come on!
P.O.S. - OPTIMIST



Good Shit. Listen and learn something.

KANYE WEST...









...Is A Robot. So the story goes that whenever Kanye works with Complex Magazine (pretty often, actually) he insists on having a cover (Isn't that just like him?) and usually one of his own imagination. This time is no different.

For the April/May issue of Complex, Mr. West has decided to depict himself as a robot. You know, because he's all futuristic and shit and tends to go off the rails like a Cylon demanding equal pay. So Marc Ecko and company (literally) gave the man what he wanted. There's also an article on the future of Kanye West, the man, the brand. And since its the 7th Anniversary issue, Complex will be dealing with their own bright future as they move into year 8. Most 7 year-olds aren't saying anything I want to hear. But Complex is not most 7 year-olds.

In stores...soonish?
JAPANESE CARTOON



Japanese Cartoon is Lupe Fiasco's new project. It's a "band" made up of whoever he feels like working with, much like DINOSAUR! (shameless self-promotion). The Japanese Cartoon album, titled In The Jaws of The Lords of Death is on it's way. I'm damn excited.

ASHER ROTH - LARK ON MY GO-KART



New Asher! I heard some of this man's freestyles and found out the hard way that he could "spit hot fire". Since then, I haven't been disappointed with what I've heard from him. Go Team Asher (That was a Venture Bros. reference).

TERRY RICHARDSON









Since I first saw his work, I've been a fan of Terry Richardson's photography. Anyone with half a brain can see why his work is so raw, ridiculous, and appealing. Being photographed by Richardson is an honor. That's why I was all set to follow the instructions on his website and request to model for him.

Until I saw the word NUDE (It looked just like that, I swear. But in red italics about 18 feet high.). Me, I'm not shy. I'm actually a bit of an exhibitionist these days. But nude photography? Not at this point in my life. Maybe once I leave the gym after several years or bootcamp training. Besides, if it pays, it would only be enough for one session of self-esteem counseling.

Maybe in 10 years.

Maybe.

DAFT TRON



"French electronica duo Daft Punk has been signed to write the original music score for Tron 2.0, Walt Disney's upcoming sequel to the groundbreaking 1982 animation cult hit which was scored by electronic music icon Wendy Carlos. Daft Punk's members Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter have been involved in various films before, but Tron 2.0 will be their first complete feature film score. The film, scheduled for a 2011 release, is helmed by Joseph Kosinski and will feature Garrett Hedlund, Olivia Wilde and Beau Garrett. According to industry news reports, Tron 2.0 will play as the "next chapter" after the first film, with Wilde starring as one of the heroes trying to help fighting the Master Control Program, the evil intelligence protocol that was the nemesis in the 1982 film. The assignment of Daft Punk to score Tron 2.0 has been confirmed to Upcoming Film Scores by Walt Disney Pictures." ~ UpcomingFilmScores.blogspot.com

IN GREY!









The Supra Skytop now comes in grey. I lost my mind when I saw these in tan around Christmas time, but I pretty much pitched a fit when I saw these today on Karmaloop. 114 USD. Worth every penny. I have no choice but to pick up a pair of these, especially since they'll run out of size 13 in about 30 seconds.
