Feel Good Lost

Sometimes you just have to do it...

2011-09-13T12:28:00.001+10:00

"Spent my days with a woman unkind,
Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine.
Made up my mind to make a new start,
Going to California with an aching in my heart.

Someone told me there’s a girl out there
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.

Took my chances on a big jet plane,
Never let them tell you that they’re all the same.
The sea was red and the sky was grey,
Wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today.
The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake
As the children of the sun began to awake.

Seems that the wrath of the gods
Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow;
I think I might be sinking.
Throw me a line if I reach it in time
Ill meet you up there where the path
Runs straight and high.

To find a queen without a king;
They say she plays guitar and cries and sings.
La la la la
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
Trying to find a woman who’s never, never, never been born.
Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams,
Telling myself its not as hard, hard, hard as it seems."

Led Zeppelin - Going to California

2011-02-09T13:40:00.003+11:00

I havent scoured the web for awhile and I've come across some great tunes and clips tonight. This is Toro y Moi. I've been listening to the song 'Still Sound' a bit lately but this could take over, great funky vibe to it

Saving up for an old school bike. Something along the lines of an old school yamaha, maybe something from the 70s done by Triumph or Moto Guzzi. Like this

A cool new store is about to open in H-Town call Reserve Supply. Based on a vintage type of lifestyle. I've heard they will be stocking some old school salvage denim and a great Australian brand, Deus ex Machina www.deus.com.au

Keep an eye on there website www.reservesupplycompany.com for updates!

I took this from my phone getting to work the other morning.

A bit has changed!

2011-01-08T10:47:00.002+11:00

So since I last posted on this a bit has changed in my life. Mainly being I now live in Houston, TX. That's right, the good ol USA.
One of my goals for this year is to really use this to pump out interesting things I come across and also put some photos up that I take during this new chapter of my life. I guess I will send it around to friends from around the globe so that can see whats the haps!

Came across this photo of Kanye today, doing what he does best, being Kanye!
Keep checking this for plenty of updates!

Nike really do know how to make a great commercial, I guess its all the guest appearances that help but there are some creative people floating about. In saying that I dont rate the new Soccer World Cup ad, but check the new Nike Air ad. P Rods part is the goods.

The Selby

2010-05-21T22:25:00.004+10:00

So this dude Todd Selby goes around to creative peeps places and takes rad photos of them in their environments. Its so simple but different. He recently released a book of the pics, there are a couple below and more at www.theselby.com

I've been pretty inspired by some of his pics so I'll be back behind the lens snapping away and I'll be posting some of my own up very soon

How Deep?

2010-05-05T16:43:00.000+10:00

I know your eyes in the morning sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I wanna feel you in my arms again

And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love and then softly leave
And it's me you need to show ....

How deep is your love? (how deep is your love?)
I really need to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

I believe in you
You know the door to my very soul
You're the light in my deepest darkest hour
You're my saviour when I fall
And you may not think
I care for you
When you know down inside
That I really do
And it's me you need to show ....

How deep is your love? (how deep is your love?)
I really need to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

How deep is your love? (how deep is your love?)
I really need to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

Mixtapes are for lovers...

2009-12-22T20:26:00.002+11:00

Nothing says I love you more then a personalized mixtape. Cds are ok but cassettes were/are so much better.
If you truly like/love someone a mixtape can be the perfect gift. Finding the tracks that remind you of that person that you know both of you like. Mixing old and new tracks, songs with meaning, songs that make you smile, songs that tell a story.
Cd's somehow dont have the same feel as the old cassette tape. Nothing better then giving or recieving a tape with the tracks hand written in pen and maybe some sort of squiggle.
So the crew over at turntable Lab are selling usb cassette mixtapes, the same feel a cassette gives but for the modern tech people. Looks and feels extremely close to the real thing. I just got a few for some special people over christmas.

Tron..

2009-12-10T21:46:00.004+11:00

Tron the original was great, a legendary movie. The sequal is coming out soon, which is exciting enough as it is, whats also unreal is that (unless you've been under a rock you would know this) Daft Punk is doing the score, that's right, new music from Daft Punk. A little birdie is spreading a rumor that the robots will be touring with the movies release, a world tour playing the music from the music. Pretty exciting stuff.
For now have a look at the first poster for the movie and the first trailer.

Sun setting on winter....hello summer.

So this ad for P Rods new shoe has been out for a few months now, dont know why I havent put it up. Great song, great skater and some other great athletes in the clip.

This clip was one I used to watch as a kid on the old 411VM when we were still on VHS. Brings back great memories and I think my friends and I listened to this song more then anything when it came out. Snuff - Arsehole. Awesome.

Mariachi Band

2009-09-21T16:19:00.002+10:00

Last time I was in the US with my family we landed in Houston, TX and went straight to our favourite mexican restaurant 'Los Cucos'. As we entered they had a full mariachi band playing and I was amazed by the tunes, mexican traditional music can sound pretty cool.
The Bronx are an awesome rock band from the US. A bit heavier then your normal stuff but great rock'n'roll. They have gone and formed a side project (which involves the whole band) called Mariachi El Bronx. Check out the video for the first single "Cell Mates". Blew my socks off when I first heard it and the price cover "I would die 4 u" is amazing!

Shoes...

2009-09-09T22:03:00.003+10:00

I came across these sweet shoes whilst scouring the web. You are paying good money for them but it looks like they would defiantly be worth it. The no lace, loafer boat shoe would be my pick for this summer.

Check out the website HERE

Fruity Summer

2009-08-27T13:06:00.002+10:00

I love having summer soundtracks. I've been listening to a lot of rock with blues influences in it lately, southern style rock perhaps? What ever it may be called, I have a feeling this summer will be great! Summers always are.

This song makes me think of driving along the coast line, window down, watching perfect waves roll in along perfect beaches. A great relaxing summer tune.

Levis.

2009-08-26T18:28:00.003+10:00

So the "original" denim company has been catching my eye lately. Alot of older styles are being re-produced. Unfortunately they are a bit hard to find in Australia.
Robert Geller, GQ's 2009 Best new menswear designer, has teamed up with Levis to create a collection of golden oldies which will include a rebirth of a pair of Levis from the 60s. The whole collection will be available in US Levis store from the 10th of September. I love the older style, the likes of James Dean, the original cool kids. I would love to get my hands of some of this gear.

Chicks

2009-08-26T17:58:00.003+10:00

500 days of Summer comes out in just under a month in Australia. Looks like a great movie with a killer soundtrack with the likes of The Smiths and The Black Lips.
Defiantly one to go and see.
Also Zooey Deschanel is smoking!
Storey goes something along the lines of Boys meets girl, falls in love. Girl isnt to interested. Story of my life.

Koston

2009-08-26T17:53:00.002+10:00

What happened to Eric Koston...and more importantly his shoes?
Remeber as a kid skating around, everyone had to have the Kostons by eS.
Just be scouring the web and found out Koston recently signed with Nike and has an SB Dunk coming out in the next few months. It looks pretty rad, awesome colours.

Here is a sneak peak....

Accessorize....

2009-06-18T13:21:00.007+10:00

Adding cool jerwlery to your shit it what its about. To stand out you need something to help you look different to the norm, a necklace no one has seen, or a ring that people notice and comment on. Lets be honest, you want people to notice you.
Surface to Air have made some real cool stuff when it comes to that department and have just put up a sales website. Rings, necklaces or "pendants".
Get on there website and check it out.

2009-05-21T13:34:00.003+10:00

I'm back in town and without a job so I have plenty of time to scour the world wide web.
I came across these puppies today and damn are they sexy. By a brand called Terrem, Freddy is the deck sneaker and the Brown is a low top sneaker. Great colours in suede and canvas.
Have a look.....

2009-04-15T09:37:00.003+10:00

I like wearing clothes that have a point of difference, not so you stand out like a tropical disease but something that people can appreciate.
I really like the detailing on these 'cleric shirts'. Cool gingham prints on the cuff, something different. Nice colour.

2009-04-03T16:22:00.003+11:00

I love a bit of colour. I hate those fluro, jort wearing kids but a bit of colour in winter can bring a smile about.
North Face have done a colaboration with Taylor design for SS09 and created these cool shell jackets.
You can buy them here at http://store.honeyee.com/ and check out a few other colours whilst you're there.

Dior Homme Hightops

2009-04-03T16:13:00.003+11:00

These new Dior Homme wheels are pretty sweet. Not something I would stock at my store but a nice style non-the-less. Black Leather, white lining, you can see the details.

They can be bought at BROWNS (click on the name) but for some reason I dont think anyone reading this blog will be getting a pair.

Where the Wild Things Are....

2009-03-31T10:33:00.002+11:00

This childrens book was written in 1963 by Maurice Sendak. I dont know many who did not read it as a child.
The story is about Max who one night gets around his house in a wolf costume and misbehaving, growling at his mum who sends him to bed without dinner. This is where the excitement begins and Max finds himself in the land of the Wild Things.
Spike Jonez has decided to turn this into a movie (an original teaser was released in 2000) which is to be released in October of this year and its causing quite alot of buzz around the first trailer.
Check it out...

Lykke Li is hot, like smoking. Her album - Youth Novels, is great. Chilled relaxed and always manages to put a smile on my face.
Bon Iver are great. I missed him/them when they toured just recently but heard he/they are amazing live, really blow your socks off.

Imagine walking through your local park to see a girl singing and making noise with a chain and a bunch of guys playing instruments including a guitar and a mini accordion
Here they are together on a Lykke song.

Heard about your wife and kids where we slept
Felt their mouths with stitches at that were slowly lit
Kept your uniform this time because I couldn't quit
Haven't felt the ground so cold without getting sick

And i'm still your fag
I'm still your fag

It's a possibility to live without lips
Clinic love to fill right up with the broken kids
I swore I drank your piss that night to see if I could live
But my wrists couldn't stand the light that we missed

And i'm still your fag
I'm still your fag

You're only coming out because you came back in
You're only coming out 'cause you came back in

I'm still your fag
I'm still your fag
