Moment of Appreciation #3

JET SET RADIO FUTURE!!

Like one of my favorite games on the xbox, when they added this to the xbox 360 throwback list I went crazy.SEGA you need to make another version

jet set radio future sound track

The soundtrack to this games is mental too, The Prune (Beastie), Jurassic 5 to name a few

composed of Electonic, Hiphop, Trip hop, J-Pop, it’s worth a buy but i bet i know were you can get it for free..

Similar to the original, it depicts a future Tokyo where freedom of expression is outlawed. The user plays a character in the GG’s, a gang of rollerblading graffiti artists who skate around Tokyo covering up rival gangs’ graffiti, knocking over Rokkaku police, and dancing to the eclectic soundtrack. The game uses the cel-shaded style of animation, and has been widely acclaimed for its unique music stylings, detailed art, and fun gameplay.

NER*D is right here and ain’t going nowhere

(excuse the nerdy photo but yes i am an avid collector of I-D)

yes!
i was able to get my hands on a copy l-D Magazine x Kaws, the limited “fake” version, designed by Kaws himself.
Apparently there are only 1000 or so in print. So yeah i’m happy about that.

Today I received advance copies of the July issue of i-D Magazine. This was
one of the largest magazine projects I have worked on to date. It was a lot
of work but I would gladly do it over again (and again, and again.)
The support I received from friends who took time out of their busy
schedules to contribute was awesome, so thank you. Another
great part about this project was that I interviewed Nigo - my first time as
interviewer. I got to be really open and ask him a bunch of things I wanted
to know about in the past, but was too polite to ask. To top it all off, the
printing job on the issue was amazing. The cover and inside spreads look
super bright and clean. A special thanks to Terry and Tricia Jones, and
again to everyone at i-D and to those who contributed…

With the Lost Season 4 finale of Lost the other week, you may have been left baffled and confused… not me!! I’ve been following this guys theory for sometime, he has managed to piece together all the puzzles of the series and make sense of why the hell there are “Polar Bears”, “Smoke Monsters”, “Ghosts” and what not up in that crazy island.

If ya wanna get a sense of what is actually happening/happened

So I’m on my way up to brick lane to meet a friend, call him up and he says he’s at Gilbert & George’s house, I thought he was on about a Pub of some sort…

Meet up with him now and he tells me that he was actually talking about Gilbert & George, the artists and that he saw them at Cafe in Brick Lane and he tried to get a autograph but instead they invited him back to their house just around the corner for some tea and they gave him a copy of their latest Book!!

I am so Jealous!
