Bruce Springsteen – Wrecking Ball

As a faithful fan of the boss, I have (for years) been following his every move. From tours, to award show performance and new albums, there isn’t much that Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band does that I don’t hear about. With Bruce and his music, it has always been the nostalgic undertone and...

Hot For Doctor (Martens)

Amidst the ever powerful wave of high topped boots and other work-ready footwear fashion, much of the innovation and attention has been focused on such products directed towards men. From Timberlands to Redwings, the past 2 or 3 years have been a no-holds-barred men’s boot parade. Combat-style boots have been popularized and even normalized for...

WWIII (Report to General Sweetz)

Devon “Sweetz” Warren is a modern day renaissance man. A jack of all trades, if you will. Specializing in such fields as photography, studio engineering, music production and directing, his pallet for creativity is certainly vast. I came across Devon’s work through my friend and colleague Tom Gist. Whenever Gist makes a move musically, visually...

Saint Valentine’s Day

The third century brought with it an increase of chaos. The throne was filled with military men, and the empire was torn asunder. Divided and assaulted from every direction Rome struggled to protect the lands its Caesar won. Following a mutinous murder Claudius Gothicus claimed the crown with a barbarous grip. Later legends lead us...

MCYYZ XXI: Beyond Borders

Business is incestuous by nature. The rise of national capitalism only proves this point. Chinese princes and Russian officials grow rich off of their countries investments. Merits beyond surnames are of little value in such crooked social systems. The rich hoard all the wealth, and the poor must pool what’s left. As the counter-culture we’ve...

ASAP Rocky – Wassup (Official Music Video)

When Jon first introduced me to Rocky, I was completely blown away. His southern style, mixed with Harlem swag, his A$AP movement, his affiliation with October’s Very Own. Everything. The visual behind Peso was perhaps what endeared my initially. I was utterly stunned as to how unique, yet familiar the tone of the entire video...

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

I began this series after experiencing a life-changing tragedy. While my wounds were still fresh I was aware that recovery though long would progress with poetry. Movies became my muse, the fodder for my rhyme and reason. As this blog approaches its second birthday my injuries are now scars that mark my maturation. Nevertheless my...
