currently playing / #MIXTAPE

w/ updated side B

SIDE A

SIDE B

music / the art of a songsmith

just a random collection of artist and tracks that i rediscovered recently / i assume for the most part these existed off the radar, even during their respected time periods / but there is something genuinely modern and forever eternal about each tune still... perhaps its the sheer strength of authentic songwriting

*** i cant remember the second video i played so i am unable to update that link... hmm.

MIHARAYASUHIRO / fall 2011

the master has spoken / vintage future

weekend in sports / KITZBUEHEL

the legandary track comes alive //

UPDATED // results

JUNYA WATANABE / fw 2011

utter perfection / it was sharp, its emotional, its brilliantly executed // i want every piece, the whole collection // / or at least one stellar blazer in my lifetime // but i think its safe to say JUNYA WATANABE has set the bar in paris pretty damn high at this point / at least for me on a emotional level // / but there are two more days of shows left // and possibly the great thing about fashion is the very fact that you can never say never // its always the next step forward // but today, its JUNYA WATANABE day

GIULIANO FUJIWARA / fall 2011 presentation

hopeful more detailed pictures will surface soon from the GIULIANO FUJIWARA fall 2011 presentation / but thus far... its looks brilliant

UPDATED PHOTOS

architecture / glass bridge

GLASS BRIDGE  

kings cross, london

the idea is to make a bridge made of glass with no metal fixings. as one of the principle qualities of glass is its high compressive strength, the proposal is to take sheets of glass and use gravity to apply sufficient pressure to compress them together to act as a beam. read more
