Torres Nike Advert - Genius

Best.

Advert.

Ever.

Too many highlights... "Adios lah", whilst stepping out of the chippy with a tub full of olives is my current favourite though....

She's nice.

That is all.

Fashawn - Bo Jackson (Audio)

We deserve better...

Liverpool 1 Lyon 2

Injuries are undermining our season, yes, but it goes deeper than that.

Cheryl Cole - Chart Record Breaker

Any excuse for a gratuitous lady picture... (pervs, click for close-up)

"Cheryl Cole could be heading for the fastest-selling single of the year with her debut solo effort.'Fight For This Love' sold more on its first day available (October 19) than Alexandra Burke's 'Bad Boys' did last Monday (October 12), according to the Official Charts Company."

The Fight That Killed Oasis

A brief synopsis of the row in France that ended it all:

Liam was playing guitar backstage.

Noel criticised Liam's playing.

Liam threw his own guitar at Noel.

The guitar landed at Noel's feet.

Noel jumped up and down on it, laughing.

Liam realised he'd just smashed his own guitar.

Liam grabbed Noel's guitars and smashed them up.

Noel stopped laughing, Liam started.

Noel said 'fuck this' and got in a cab.

End of Oasis.

Go to nme.com for the full 'story'.

Jamie T - Jilly Armeen (Audio)

This is great. No, it's better than that. It's superb.

The album is worth a look if you've got £10 burning a hole in your pocket...

Where The Wild Things Are X Medicom Toy

Spotted at hypebeast.

I'm looking forward to this flick. I bought my son the book last weekend, and I flicked through it. My initial thoughts were, firstly, how can Spike Jonze turn this into a 90 minute long feature? And secondly, how is he going to pitch it; purely as a kids film, or as a proper fantasy flick? I look forward to finding out, but one thing I do know is, it will be weird.

Japan's Medicom Toy (the creators of uber-collectible 'toys', such as Be@rbrick's and KAWS figures) have created these Wild Things figures. Available now at colette in Paris.

Vampire Weekend - Horchata mp3

New Vampire Weekend track, from the forthcoming album 'Contra' (Jan 11th release date for the UK). This track is called Horchata. It's stupidly silly, and ludicrously catchy. Very much business as usual for these fellas, then.

You can download this track in a .zip file HERE, which even comes with a pretty pdf of the cover and a lyric sheet.

Them Crooked Vultures - Scumbag Blues (Teaser Trailer)

Josh Homme. Dave Grohl. John Paul Jones.

Queens. Nirvana (or Foo's, if you like shit music). Led Zep.

We need more supergroups. The one I'd love to see is 'The Rolling Beats"... McCartney, Ringo, Jagger, Richards.

Har Mar Superstar - Tall Boy (Video)

A bit weird, a bit funny, a bit gay, a bit sexy (my mate Eva Mendes again)...

Toy Story 3 - Full Trailer

The first full trailer for 2010's Toy Story 3.

Editors - Papillon (Video)

I just picked up (ie. downloaded) the new Editors album yesterday. I will feed back in due course.

This is a strong single though. It has certainly grown on me...

MIRF for Marc Jacobs - Window Displays

Via highsnobiety.com:

"New York based graffiti duo Mint and Serf, known together as MIRF, have worked on a series of window displays for Marc Jacobs. After already being featured in the background of a Juergen Teller Marc Jacobs ad, this is a nice next step of including the artists work. Next time you walk by a Marc Jacobs store in NYC, make sure to check them out. "

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans - Trailer

Nic Cage (meh), Xzibit (nah), Werner Herzog directing (interesting)... Eva Mendes (earmarked as my future wife should my marriage go badly wrong...whoo-hoo!).

A sequel of sorts to Abel Ferrara's troubling 90's classic staring Harvey Kietel, which you should see if you haven't already. This time, Nic Cage is a smack head in New Orleans, as opposed to Kietel's New York-based 'window-wanker' (see the film... it will explain).

Werner Herzog directing bodes well though...

Pharrell's New Hoodie - Worth More Than Your Car

Oh dear.

Pharrell has bought himself a new grey hooded jacket. Not just any hooded jacket though... this is made by Hermes of Paris, and is made from Crocodile skin.

Pharrell has got form for spending silly money with Hermes on one-off bags, but this is different. Not only is it ugly, but when those French chaps make clothes with Crocodile, the price tag becomes astronomical. Conservative estimates suggest this could have cost him $18,000. Not so conservative estimates say it could have been as much as $75,000.

On his Japanese 'honeyee mag' blog mini-site he posted the above picture with the caption "Couldn't resist". Makes you sick doesn't it?

1800 Tequila - Essential Artists Bottle Range

In the US, Tequila has quickly become the club drink of choice. Tequila Silver in particular. The success of Patron is evidence of this.

1800 Tequila are enhancing the current coolness of the drink with this range of limited edition bottles. Expect to see them on the tables of Paris Hilton and Jay-Z from November.

Q-Tip - Life Is Better feat. Norah Jones (Video)

Interesting visuals.

Quite how Norah Jones became a regular collaborator with Hip Hop artists (Tip, Talib Kweli, Andre from Outkast, Wyclef... if you can count him as 'hip hop'), I don't know. But it works...

Raphael Saadiq - Let's Take A Walk (Video)

This video dropped last night.

Zero 7 - Swing

The standout track from Zero 7's latest album Yeah Ghost.

Featuring Sia on vocals.

Thom's Supergroup

Thom Yorke has pulled together a supergroup of sorts, including Flea and a chap from REM. Naturally, Nigel Godrich is also on board as a producer. A gig in LA acted as a rehearsal at the weekend...

"Flea, who began the evening playing nonchalantly off to the side of the stage, gradually moved toward centre stage, sharing the spotlight with Yorke while jamming on his bass guitar. At one point in the evening, a member of the audience shouted, "Play some Skynyrd!" Yorke responded by flashing both middle fingers, saying, "You think I should be playing Stone Temple Pilots too?"

Hmmmm. NME have the full story.

APC x Supreme = Fuck 'em

As has been well documented, I'm a fan of APC. Supreme... not so much, but some of their Tee's are good. It's mainly gear for Skateboarders or Street Fashion enthusiasts. I'm too old to do the former, and too old to pull off the latter convincingly.

This collabo smacks of lazyness. The embroidery looks cheap, and whilst the pin badge is pretty smart, this appears little more than a collabo to suck in gear fanatics and get them to part with their hard earned pound/dollar/yen. You can guarantee these come at a premium.

Nick Schonberger of High Snobiety has spotted this opportunism, but then launched a passionate defence; arguing that this is an attempt at satire from APC and Supreme. I'm not so sure.

Either way, APC jeans don't fit me...
