these cats, phony ppl out of brooklyn have got my attention. their free EP, ‘phonyland’ is 13 tracks of smooth. it’s not often [almost never] you see young folks interested in forming actual bands. dudes even have a sax. i’m quite impressed. i can think of a few artists that i hear in their sound but i’ll let you be the judge.

this is ‘sometimes iii think about you’, one of my favorites from the project.

need this.
y’all just don’t know how much self-control this kid needed around emergency gas pump shut off buttons, fire alarm levers, campus emergency phones…
anyway…this is simple but sweet. 

if i were a graphic designer, this is the kind of thing i would do for fun.

check out athlete objects for other depictions of past NBA hoopers like larrys bird & johnson, shawn kemp & others. pretty clever.

because it’s already got 22M+ views in just 5 days, i know i’m late but i’d be foolish not to include this on my blog. advertising at its finest. just press play…

mont saint-michel, normandy, france.

been highly intrigued with this place since i visited over a decade ago. probably my favorite place in france. it’s a tidal island that was linked to the mainland by a causeway before a bridge was recently erected. depending on the time of day & year, the waters would cover the road preventing car traffic. look it up!

i can’t say with complete certainty that i wouldn’t consider buying a 1bd|1ba 745 sq. ft. prefab home from IKEA for $87K.

‘introducing aktiv. the first in a new line of houses designed by ideabox and appointed by IKEA. Swedish inspired, wide open living, functional, no wasted space…’

guaranteed to keep you busy for a while. very cool.

oh snap! i forgot about kronum!
i kinda like this fusion of soccer, football, basketball, handball, etc.
traditional sports & the big 4 leagues are way too popular for it to catch on in the mainstream but i could see some random spunky multi-millionaire taking a chance to launch it similar to slamball & matches airing on spike or versus.

think i’m a couple weeks late seeing this but it’s pretty sick.
especially love that it’s against LBJ & the heat & that some of the bench mob is featured.
the NBA’s TV spots have really been on point the past couple seasons.

words can not describe how hot this album is gonna be!
glasper alone is dope but add in the features & whoa. 

february 28. 

freshness & function.
the neighbors gotta be jealous.

some really dope reworks of NFL logos by gridiron league.
