“It’s like eating ribs with your hands at a swag bistro in Paris.
— My quick review of Watch the Throne.
The intersection of music, design and photography is one I like to swag out on. Clearly, so does The Weeknd. His second mixtape, Thursday, which he dropped yesterday, does doughnuts on those aforementioned crossroads. It’s hard not to smell what’s he’s cookin’.

Lauryn Hill performing Bob Marley’s Chances Are on Jimmy Fallon gave me chills. Outfit was off the chain with the chain.

New Bon Iver track “Calgary”. The first song from the group’s self-titled album. Artwork is off the chain. Perfect travelling track for my mid-June trek to Banff, Alberta.

Just got introduced to Karmin. They do covers and original music on the YouTubes. This is their cover of Lil’ Wayne’s 6 Foot 7 Foot. (thx julesycd)
Forget this Rebecca Black, Friday nonsense. It’s time for The Weeknd! Toronto’s own! Go download that House of Balloons! The album art alone is worth it.
