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.

Bjork - All is full of love


Bjork - Army of me

Fever Ray - If i had a heart

Fever Ray - When i grow up

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).
