Yin & Yang

Jamie Howard is damn funny. I haven’t really liked many stand-up acts in recent years as most just recycle old jokes! Russell Peters, Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock have always been the best ones. I’m a fan of this next dude though, he’s been around in the UK stand-up scene since 2008; well that’s when I first spotted him. Anyway he’s hosting a stand-up comedy night next month in Bricklane, East London. I’ve added a few clips of him after the jump.

Durex + Typography = Type Sex. They’re last campaign with the balloons was absolutely hilarious and this one is just as good. The new campaign consists of print ads which features silhouettes of people in sex positions. The silhouettes are created using typefaces and the words x-ray the inner feelings during the act with Durex. The campaign communicates the umm ‘joy’ that comes along with Durex and the idea is for the poster to demonstrate it without actually telling it. I’m pretty sure ya’ll got the idea just by looking at it. More posters after the jump.

I’ll be honest here, I didn’t really like the new all star 25 for Haiti single which featured the likes of Justin Bieber, Miley to Kanye and Drizzy. I just felt with that amount of talent on showcase I kind of expected them to use that talent to create something new and not just remake a classic which shouldn’t have been touched. I guess it’s okay because it is a charity single after all but it’s a damn shame. Anyway back to this video, 25 YouTube singers from around the world have united via the Internet. This is beautiful, I much prefer this to the single that was put out. Now back to essay writing *sighs*…video after the cut.

They say there is hope for everyone with autotune.. and its true! This has got to be one of the funniest things I’ve seen on the internet in a long time. Anyone from East London knows that Sam’s is the one, back in the day that 2 for 2 offer was niiice! All jokes aside, I ain’t gonna lie-  Sam’s do the best hang over food EVER, it’s all about staggering back from them skankin sessions at Yoyo’s and then into Sam’s for some sexy fried chicken. One time the way Yin and I refused McDonalds because we expected Sam’s to be open, why did we embark on that long journey from west only to be crying outside a bolted shut Sam’s..how disappointing. OK, that was slightly excited but it seems someone shares even more enthusiasm on this subject (no he is not sane!). So much so that he’s even written a song for it called ‘Dedication’. Now I must warn you, this is awful but its really entertaining.. Enjoy

I’m writing this post on the way to work, my iPod died. My headphones are now ear muffs. I’ll kick start things this week with a song by Hip-hop duo, U-N-I and it features R&B singer, Miguel. You know what to do…

I haven’t done one of these posts in a while. I wish my university course had more ‘fun’ stuff like analysing real adverts as well as filming more of our own. Some of the adverts I’ve seen over the years are so genius, It makes me wonder if I’ll ever be able to produce adverts of that standard after I gain a degree? SMH. I won’t get into the whole university degree and creative talent argument that can be saved for another post! adverts on the flipside.

So here’s the first look at the Y-3 A/W 2010 collection. The new collection reminds me very much of Uniqlo before the whole J+ series; it’s the colours and the styling of the shoot. I quite like this, its very different but very Japanese who pretty much are the pioneers in fashion! Since last season, I’ve been feeling like fashion is just becoming All Saints as every other shop you walk into you would find a cheap knock off! This is still the case but not in this collection, it’s nice to see there is still some new material out there. The combination of all your must have winter wear and Y-3‘s elaborate collection of sneakers in my opinion puts these guys in a good position in the sports fashion market. Check out the collection..
