Kanye performs at FB HQ

AR — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 16:10:09 +0000

Thought I was buggin’ when I saw: “Kanye West performs tracks from upcoming album Good Ass Job at the Facebook Headquarters in Paolo Alto.” in my Safari feeder – but I wasnt. I know i’m supposed to be trying not to inadvertantly post entire albums in pieces before they drop, but this just needs to be seen.

“Mama’s Boyfriend” – Good Ass Job

“Chain Heavy” – Good Ass Job

This is the making of a masterpiece, so we broke out the chains and told em ‘Masta, peace’”

[New Music] Wale – Eye of the Tiger

AR — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 01:23:49 +0000

Second single from Wale off his upcoming mixtape dropping in two days. There’s not too much I don’t like about this. Folarin goes in, especially the last verse. The lil George Costanza sample in the middle was dope too. Gotta feeling this is gonna be a pretty decent mixtape. Drops in two days. Word to the Soup Nazi!

A New Look at the Levi’s Jacket

AR — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 01:10:00 +0000

Aumtum 2010 provides us with a new spin on the classic Levi jacket. A lot lighter than the previous, commonly-known version and completed with a super distressed “heavy weight denim jacket in a vintage ‘Graniteville’ finish’ with an added dose of denim colouration and exposed rivets—-[[gasps for air ]]—, the 1936 Type 1 jacket is nice!

You’ll also find the sleeves worn and a cinch on the back for added detail.

At $277 its a little more than what I’d think about paying for a denim jacket. But then again I have a feeling if you get this, you’ll be set for a looong time. Quality.

Pre Order now .

The Cool.

AR — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 20:07:33 +0000

I’ll be the first to tell you: I’m not cool.

Nope.

I have a lil blog, done a few things on campus, copped a few items the average guy might not have, but nah— cool isn’t me. Cool is who I associate with, cool is who surrounds me. Cool are my mentors: Danyel Smith, Coltrane Curtis. Cool are the ones that I look at to help get myself to where I want to be.

Enter: Coltrane Curtis. Founder, Team Epiphany.

I work with Epiphany, and Epiphany works with influencer’s — the cool people.

Kanye, Dee&Ricky, Mariel Haenn, Chris Julian. Some of the names you know, some you don’t. But that’s the thing about cool. They don’t care what you think. They dont need your approval, they do what they want, how they want, and in the end they reap the benefits — while you watch .

Now pay attention.

Recognize: A young, cool Coltrane Curtis

Understand: It’s organic. Various advertisements featuring a young, cool Coltrane Curtis.

The Cool Factor: FOX Business interviews Coltrane Curtis on “How To Make Your Business Cool.”

When 34-year-old entrepreneur Coltrane Curtis enters the room, people think, “he’s cool.” This isn’t an assumption. When Curtis showed up for the in-studio interview at the News Corp building in New York City last week, the make-up artist whispered (without knowing what he was being interviewed about): “Wow, he is so cool.” Read the rest of the FOX Business article here .

I Think I Like Her.

MESH — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 23:22:51 +0000

Okay, I hate the radio. The same “top ten” songs played over and over, it’s idiotic and annoying. But since my iPod connector chord to my car shorted out, I’ve been forced to listen to the radio stations up here in the DMV area. After hearing “Little Freak” and “My Chick’s Bad” play back to back three times a hour, a song came on that instantly grabbed my attention. I was trying to figure out who sang it and then I discovered–Dondria. She’s a So So Def recording artist who got her break by posting her covers of popular songs on Youtube. Checked out a couple of her videos, chick has a great voice. Then I came across the video for her single (that one on the radio) “You’re the One” and I think I’ve fallen in love. She’s my new “new artist I want to make it big.” Even though the video premiered last month, I think you should still check it out.

Post Script: My Apologies

MESH — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 23:03:05 +0000

Allow me to reintroduce myself:

MY NAME IS AARON

You may know me as AR. I used to write for this one blog, maybe you’ve heard of it, TheMESHlife.com? It’s kind of a big deal. But lately I’ve been acting WEAK

#weakweakHELLAweakweak

It’s been entirely too long since you’ve seen the first and eighteenth letter after a few posts (no no, didn’t have to count. I know where my chips fall [in the alphabet no less lol]).

But as I was saying, there’s no reason why you shoudn’t see AR after a few posts every day. So for that, to my readers, and my co-conspirators against the blogoshphere (whttap PNC’s), I apologize.

The MESH reader is a go getter, a person who doesnt take “no” for an answer, and doesn’t give excuses.

WE are the generation, and MESH is the fuel for that generation.

And this tank ain’t gonna run on empty, ya heard me.

AR!!

I’m back bitches. [sorry for cussin']

NEW Videos.

MESH — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 00:32:39 +0000

Couple of videos dropped today. Let’s get started

First. The disappointing Drake “Over” video directed by Anthony Mandler (who usualy does such a great job). He just can’t win with his videos can he?

Second. This interesting viral video of Teairra Mari covering Usher’s “Hey Daddy (Daddy’s Home)”. She definitely is sexy in the clip and it has its funny moments.

Last. The latest single for Melanie Fiona “Ay Yo”. I appreciate the version of the song I have better, but the video is still simple and nice.

Cj..

Love to hate you.

The Multicolor Jacket, courtesy of 33 year old Wurtemburg, Germany native designer, Bernhard Wilhelm.

Personally, I really — oddly, like the piece. I’m not quite sure why, but whatever the reason I feel it would correlate with this quote from upscale online retailer, Ok-ni:

Each collection is an experiment involving the question of how I can manage to juggle good and bad taste, or rather what people perceive as bad taste in our society. What I love about fashion is that it is all about overcoming that threshold of embarrassment. There are always some pieces that let you act something out

Let this – fashion – be what it is.
