Designer Watch

If you’re like me, and you enjoy the combination of loud colors, prints & patterns with a touch of kitsch and irreverence, then I have a feeling you will also dig Dutch Designer, Bas Kosters:

The above photos are from his “Freedom Collection” which came out last summer. It seems like he is due to release something new soon, so I will def. be on the look out. Meanwhile, he also has an online store where he sells some clothing, but mostly these weird little hand painted stuffed dolls and broaches. Check it:

Mgmt Congratulations

Andrea — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 22:07:11 +0000

Not set to be released until April 13th, The new Mgmt record as been leaked! Stream it for free from their website: http://www.whoismgmt.com/

I have only listened to the first 2 songs so far, so the verdict is still out. This article from billboard says “Congratulations includes a frenzied psychedelic surf-rock cut about Brian Eno; a creepy instrumental whose title, “Lady Dada’s Nightmare,” plays off a certain of-the-moment pop star; and a trippy, 12-plus-minute track with a loose theme about surfing the Arctic Circle off the coast of Russia” a “decidedly weird nine-song follow-up” to their very successful 2007 debut, Oracular Spectacular

Eternal Life through MJ

seen on the streets of L.A.

(and I think that is a Boyonce Mona Lisa?)

I also saw that same day:
1. visable from your car while driving down La Cienaga, a display of 5th graders’ artwork “honoring Michael Jackson” for Black History month. (random tangent: I also heard on the radio yesterday that there were teachers somewhere potentially being fired for using images of Ru Paul and Dennis Rodman to teach black history month…)
2. Evidence that MJ was watching over me that day, this rainbow seen from the roof of the Burton store:
