80's kid

Being an 80's kid I can't help but have some anticipation for the new Tron remake, Tron Legacy 3D, from Disney. This rendition features a first time feature film director, an original score by Daft Punk (which is awesome), and a great cast featuring Olivia Wilde, Jeff Bridges, Michael Sheen, and more. Check it out, I also read that Pharrell Williams was so obsessed with the original film that helped produce this, but I can't confirm. Enjoy



And here is a cool interview with Pharrell where he mentions his new project with Lupe Fiasco and Kanye West called Child Rebel Soldier.

Influencers

These are the people setting trends and making "cool" if you will. Enjoy

"Fire" and Phoenix

A new film by artist Kanye West, say what you will about him, but the man is talented and this film even further proves this. I'm ok with people being cocky, if they back it up. The visuals in this are crazy, and the story is of a Phoenix who falls from the cosmos.
The film features music from Kanye's upcoming album "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy"...not to be confused with "Mr Toad's Wild Ride" Enjoy.


People keep pulling this video off so if it doesn't work just click one the small links in the player, I'll try and find a good one.

"recently added"

Here's some of what I've been chewing on lately, some courtesy of CONCRETE OPINIONS and some found digging through hypem. Some are old and you may have heard them but hopefully most of them are new. A lot of these bands are on tour, check CONCRETE for all LA area tour dates.

Removed from Youtube

Die Antwoord, hipster South African Hip-Hop, I'm sure you've heard of them. I don't know how I feel about them yet but they are entertaining. This is courtesy of Bobby Hundreds, who photographed their show on Kimmel last night. This video was pulled off youtube for being offensive, it's like a Marilyn Manson x Prodigy x Pharcyde video combined. Check it out. Enjoy

This is a documentary by a good friend of mine, Ryan Pettey, about the lasting effects of boxing on the body. He has been on a small tour with the film and the film was an official selection to the Santa Barbara Film Festival. Here's the trailer, facebook page, and a great write-up in the LA Times. Enjoy
