I’m not going to go into great detail about the capabilities of Yamaha’s Tenori-On music sequencer, in fact, I’m still trying to wrap my mind around the entire concept myself. What I do know for sure is that it’s unlike any music sequencer that I’ve ever encountered before. There’s no simple drum pad [...]
It looks like the retail industry is paying some much needed attention to the recycling, or should I say re-bagging habits of many of its consumers these days. No, this isn’t another case of an industry/company going green, although this would fit the description in more ways than one. Instead, retailers are beginning [...]

According to Pantone, the world’s foremost authority on color, the “It” color of 2008 will be PANTONE 18-3943 Blue Iris. They feel that the blue-purple-ish color “satisfies the need for reassurance in a complex world, while adding a hint of mystery and excitement.” Interesting stuff, but don’t go expecting a redesign of this [...]

Meet Alex Goldberg. He’s a full-time hustler, part-time chef, all around cool kid, and at just 14 years old, he’s a already making his way to the top of NYC’s social ladder. A true “connector” (see: The Tipping Point) if I’ve ever seen one.
…Alex isn’t like other boys his age. [...]
Over the course of his last two albums, we’ve heard Kanye West make several references to his upcoming fashion label, Pastelle (see: “Goneâ€, “Strongerâ€). However, to many people it looked like the whole idea was shaping up to be all talk, and very little show at the end of the day. Even with [...]
As I’ve mentioned here once before, I love album cover-art. From CDs to Vinyl, photography to illustrations, Rock to Hip Hop, if the design is dope, I’m on it! Sadly, I don’t see much creative cover-art coming out of the hip hop world these days, but that’s an entirely different post (one for [...]
I must admit, I haven’t paid close attention to the sneaker game for some time now. Well, let me rephrase that, I haven’t paid much attention to the exclusive, hype driven, internet-only sneaker game for some time now. I don’t know what happened, I just sort of fell out of touch with things [...]
