If These Knishes Could Talk – A Documentary On The New York Accent

I really have a thing for accents — don’t we all? — British, French and South African…they’re all so alluring and interesting. Heather Quinlan seems to think so too, making a documentary on the New York accent. Writer Pete Hamill, director Amy Heckerling, and screenwriter James McBride all appear in the documentary, discussing how a toilet becomes [...]

‘Haunted Love’ by Future Unlimited Directed by Shia LaBeouf

‘Haunted Love’ by Future Unlimited Directed by Shia LaBeouf

For the ‘Haunted Love’ video Shia LeBeouf was inspired by working with Lars von Trier on his latest film, Nymphomaniac. The song really stuck with him and for good reason: while on location in Germany, the song was on repeat for hours, helping Shia get into the character of a sex addict. The video shows a [...]

Franz Ferdinand Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action

Franz Ferdinand Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action

Remember Franz Ferdinand? They sort of came up in the time of The Killers and The Arctic Monkeys, but unlike these bands who went on to create other successful albums following their respective debuts, Franz Ferdinand sort of faded into silence. Making a return to the scene, the band is releasing their second studio album. There [...]

The Daily Meow – Peaches the Cat is Kind of a Dick (Video)

Cats. Ugh, sometimes we can’t stand them. They go around thinking they are so awesome and can do whatever they like (which, by the way, they are and they can, so deal with it.)  As seen in this slo-mo video, Peaches the cat takes on a dog named ‘Lucky’, who is double his size, and [...]

Suave Like Sauvé – Sebastian Sauvé

We picked a model’s brain to see if there was anything in there and it turns out that Sebastian Sauvé (Premier London) is more than just a pretty boy. Even if he is the ultimate model-photographer cliche. I mean when you look like this, you have to ride the wave, any which way it goes. [...] >>
The BLVCK SCVLE Theory

The BLVCK SCVLE Theory

A tinge of Soho, a pinch of Fifth Ave, a linger of Rodeo Drive. This physically describes Black Scale NYC, a just-down-the-road yet out of the way menswear destination. On a slate grey cobblestone street in the city that never sleeps,  a sliding door entrance opens to a polished all-black-everything ‘man cave’ if you will. [...] >>

It’s not about who you know. It’s about knowing who you are. And strutting your stuff. That’s kind of what I’ve gathered from Jay Strut, a Toronto-based fashion blogger. We’re still getting used to this term and it’s definition, much to the annoyance of established fashion journalists and editors, who work to keep fashions’ gates [...] >>

Jason Ierace – Gun For Hire

Finding cool stuff online is like making rapid fire but unrelated connections in your brain – one second you’re thinking about puppies and the next you’re contemplating life on Mars. How does it happen? Random. But interesting. Stream of conscious. Starting out with lord only knows what at this point, I skipped across photographer Jason [...] >>
