The Girl Walk project was still in Kickstarter funding mode when we posted about it in February, but it’s now come to fruition and Gothamist has the premiere chapter of this 75-minute long film set to the entire Girl Talk album All Day. Wild Combination wisely decided to split up the release of this film into manageable segments, so look for a new installment each Tuesday and Friday until January.
I’m slightly obsessed with round, thick-frame glasses of the David Hockney variety even though they don’t work for my face, which is why I love when the aesthetic is put to a different use. The smartphone stand by Nendo designed for Elecom is a beautiful example of this kind of re-appropriation, adding suction cups to each lens. If you’re always accused of being glued to your phone, this is a cheeky way of admitting you’re guilty as charged. Seen on Designboom.
If you’re braving the Black Friday crowds the day after Thanksgiving, why not stop in for a drink with us? All day Friday, we’ll have free Tiger Beer in the store along with a bunch of Black Friday special deals — our prices for Beats by Dre and the TMA-1 are too low to advertise, and those are only a few of our special sale items. In addition, we’re offering 10% off all day on all non-sale items. What’s 10% off of free beer?
This is a little bit of everything we love: now up on the GQ site, a tale of one man’s journey through the wild, urban jungle that is Tokyo all while in the company of one hell of a fun, random trio — Aziz Ansari of Parks and Recreation, David Chang of the Momofuku empire and Mr. LCD/DFA himself, James Murphy. Take a moment and enjoy the unexpected adventure (involving karaoke dens, bottles of Zima, gnarly ramen and round-eyes) that was somehow all spawned from just one, desperate tweet.
It’s getting harder to ignore the voices of Occupy Wall Street as their numbers grow, but it can be too easy to get caught in the growing number of complex issues and lose focus of what it’s all about, too. This video, spotted on The Fox Is Black, which screened as part of the Zero Film Festival boils the movement down to its essence by presenting it as a game of Pong. Reductive, sure, but it’s an effective way to remind us that many small voices with little power do still stand a chance against the major financial powers running our world.
Seen on Selectism — and not as if New York needs to seem any more like an adventure, but at least this print by Jesse Eisemann renders the city as the fun, jump-on-Yoshi-and-spit-out-some-turtle-shells-type adventure, effectively distracting us from the reality of our day-to-day “did that bum just spit on me?” adventure. The print is available at Imagekind.
Seeing our new Pocket Piano — we’re one of the few stores in the world carrying it, come in and check it out — I was reminded of the 2008 gem from the talented DJ Mehdi who was untimely ripped from this life in September. His memory lives on in song, especially one as grand, soaring and heart-stirring as this one.
