P.O.S. WHY GO (PEARL JAM COVER)

P.O.S. - New Music - More Music Videos

My respect for P.O.S. just keeps growing by leaps and bounds. I found this video of him covering a song by Pearl Jam, the undisputed gods of grunge (You don't know, you better ask somebody!). I just picked up a new flannel plaid shirt, strictly coincidental. But, then maybe it was fate, because I was considering wearing my new plaid to my upcoming party (S.O.Y.P, coming soon)and now I just know that this song is going on the playlist.

ORANGE









I picked up a copy of this graphic novel, Orange, a few weeks ago and forgot to post about it. This is me making amends. Orange, by "international manga superstar" Benjamin, is the story of a girl who goes up onto a roof to kill herself for various reasons and ends up meeting a guy. That's all I'm going to say. You should just read it and soak in the beautiful artwork and story.

THE R.TAM SESSIONS



To coincide with the release of the Serenity movie a few years ago, Joss Whedon and tribe released this video on several fire sharing networks and any other random corner of the internet they could. They dropped this puppy off on the doorstep of the digital tests, with a note and a basket that would go on to be used to hold muffins or something.

The above video chronicles the downward spiral of the mental state of River Tam, leading to the condition she was in at the start of the Serenity movie.

WALLIES CHALK BOARD APPLIQUE SET



Found these on Amazon. They turn your wall into chalk board for making notes, keeping a schedule, etc. It's a pretty good idea aside from the reason people started using dry erase instead of chalk: chalk is just fucking messy. That flaw aside, I have been looking for something like this. I think I'd be happy in my room, insanely scrawling notes and ideas for whatever I'm working on onto the chalky sections of my walls, scratching my face and wiping my brow, then forgetting to check a mirror before running out to get some food and wondering why everyone's looking at me like I'm crazy. I could imagine they sense my genius and it repels them, a subconscious act of self preservation.

No, but I could get a lot of work done this way. Plus, I was already planning on writing notes on my wall and painting over them once I didn't need them anymore. This is still messy, but less so. Maybe I'll pick some up.

You should, too. Yeah, you. (Aqui)

This helps. Crayola Non-toxic Dust-free Chalk (Aqui)

GRAFFITI JAPAN









I just ordered a copy of the Graffiti Japan photography book, by Remo Camerota. It's worth picking up if you like (no, love) Japan, photography, graffiti, candid and action shots, and bright colors. I came across it by accident while Flickring images of Japan. Good thing I did.

SKINS WIDGET



I was going to just make this a permanent part of my blog (and maybe someday I will), but for now, here's the Skins widget (silly word, widget) as brought to me by Facebook. Or maybe it was Moses. I get my religions confused. Anyway, Skins widget.

An old release, I know, but Lex Luthor: Man of Steel looks at Lex Luthor, Superman's greatest nemesis, and his own perspective and motivations for his perpetual war against Superman, whom he views as an invader and a serious threat to the survival/evolution/future of humanity. It gets into what a man will do when he feels like he's the lone hero against a villain that has captured the hearts of all the people he's trying to protect. Cool concept. I just recieved it in the mail (I was gonna cleverly make a joke aboiut owls, but didn't. Bully for me.) and am going to start readign it soon. I hope it's good, but I'm sure it is.

OH SHIRT!





I just received this thsirt, which I ordered from Karmaloop, in the mail today. I saw it a while back, but it was expensive. VERY expensive. I happened to be on the site the other day and saw that it was on sale for 22 dollars, so I jumped on it. Good thing too, because it usually retails for (ready for this?) 300 US Dollars. WTF?

Jay-z x Radiohead = Jadiohead



Thanks to my new heroes at WeLikeItIndie, I'm now in possession of the most recent, and most ridiculously brilliant, Jay-z mashup album. Jadiohead, whom I have to give points just for the name, have crafted something here that every underground hip hip or hipster dj will be spinning in the next few months. S'good.

AK ICE TRAY



Okay, I saw and stole this from another site. But I'm telling you that...so that makes it okay, right? That's how it works in the United States.

Anyway, AK-47 shell ice tray. Each tray can make 12 bullet-shaped ice cubes at once. I want it.

Check it out! It's on sale!

FINALLY

These are three of the seven Brian Wood prints i just bought. They're inspired by his critally aclaimed graphic novel, Channel Zero, which happens to be one of my favorite graphic novels.
