Videos: Bjork vs. Fever Ray

This might be a bit of an unfair post. Thats because Bjork has constantly enlisted the most famous video directors in the world (Chris Cunningham, Michael Gondry, Nick Night, Etc) for her visuals and Fever Ray has chosen relatively anonymous Swedes. Still though, the relative newcomer has put bjork to the test, so heres some new Fever Ray videos, and a couple classics from Bjork.

3/4 Sleeve: Get the Fuck Outta Here

The 3/4 sleeve is the worst thing to happen to sleeves since short sleeves. I know its not a new concept, but it seems to be gaining momentum, which is terrible. Its like the capri of shirts, awkward and goofy, and a great way to ruin a perfectly good pattern.

Pendleton Pocket Tee's

It used to be that a day didnt pass that i wasnt decked out in my coolest Supreme t-shirt that everyone pointed at and said, "Wow thats soooo rare, im super of jealous of him." Unfortunately, no one is jealous of me anymore, becuase i rarely wear t-shirts. In fact, the only t-shirt ive really worn in the last year has been a pendleton one. They are made of a very sturdy cotton, have a good fit, and keep up no matter how many times you wash them. I also happen to think that the pocket and leather tab give them a nice clean look, so i dont feel to dressed down when i wear one. I do suggest sizing down though.

(You can see me pictured above wearing the black version)

VBS TV

I've watched vbs, Vice Magazines online tv station, for about 3 to 4 years now. Its loaded with great info spanning everything from heavy metal to Afghanistan. Due to the fact it's not governed by some major conglomerate who is considering it's share holders first and foremost, it allows the station to get very in depth coverage on issues with the politics or consequences. Unfortunetly, the station does cater to younger hipster types, which means some of the research is half assed and presented in semi-ignant lamen's terms. That aside though, i wanted to present two videos really sum up the unique coverage the station can bring.

A video on pirate radio's in the uk.

As well as a look at the real Palestine, something you won't see on cnn and fox alike.

The White Shirt

White shirts are hard for me to buy. I think they look clean and beautiful, but i also feel like im my own security guard when i wear one. Basically if your drunk with any kind of liquid or solid get the fuck away from me. Thats a risk you just need to take though, because they are essential to any wardrobe. Being myself, i naturally considered a chambray version from Buzz Rickson (Bottom Pic), then thought i'de save a few bucks on a J Crew oxford, but ended up with a beautiful thick 2 ply cotton oxford from Gitman Vintage (Top).

Best Concert Poster Ever

This poster was created by Tricia Kleinot for one of Snoop Dogg's shows in February. Graphically, it's just beautiful, and an extremely creative idea. Although maybe from a marketing point of view it's not the wisest, considering it's message is pretty subversive, not ideal for Snoop Dogg fans.

My Idea of a Good Time!

I watch this and the blood masturbation scene from anti-christ before i go out partying at night, you know, to get me in the mood.

Im presenting to you this years winner for best animated short film. Due to the fact that the video is based around licensed logos, i was expecting 15 minutes of commentary on the sick consumer culture in which we live. Instead, its a swear-word layden story of crime which arches into pre-apocolypse. Basically, way better than i thought.

E-40 x Bjork

I was driving along the other day, listening to the new E-40 cd 'Revenue Retrieven', when i heard something odd. The track switched, and Bjork's raspy primal scream poured out of my speakers. I instantly thought my cd changer (which bjork never leaves), was acting up, but that wasnt the case. It turns out that E-40's son, and production prodigy, Droop-E, sampled bjork's 'Oceania' for 40's song 'Spend the Night'. Being that im a huge fan of both artists, i love the song, and its been in heavy rotation ever since.

The Overshirt

My overshirts are hands down my favorite article of clothing. Its as if the universe hand sewed overshirts as a gift to san franciscans for being so accepting of gay culture. For fall or spring in SF, they provide the exact amount of warmth for whatever you might get into, whether it be a stroll though the park or a night out on the town. They also usually come in muted colors, so they look good with essentially every outfit. I tend to go with the classic wool overshirts for the fall, and the cotton versions in the spring. While it is common for pions to ask you why your wearing two shirts, just tell them their boot cut jeans look like shit, and know that your looking good.  Top to bottom, CP Company, Iron Heart, and Albam.
