Althouh my Jordan love is centered around the 3s and 4s I got a softspot for the patent leather 11s.  These fall under the category of:

denim plimsoles…

lovin these Acne denim plimsoles, they are available in a washed black denim and bleached blue denim.  The perfect casual shoe that can be dressed up or down. 

The bleached ones are soooooo nice, perfect with spring khakis or shorts.

Foregiveness Rock Record.

It’s been 5 years since Broken Social Scene have released an album, and it appears Forgiveness Rock Record was more than worth the wait.

I was lucky enough to watch a taping sunday night of Bravo’s At the Concert Hall series, and it was aaaamazing.   The band had been rehearsing alot but admitted to have not performed any of the new tracks in front of an audience.  (although they just did Letterman!) The back-up vocalists and horn section were added as late as the day before! To see 17 people collaborate on stage together was incredible.

But don’t take my word for it NPR is streaming the album online until the album’s release May 4th.

take a listen.

quickly moving to the top of my iphone accessory list is the iRetrofone base by Freelandstudios.  The old school base is cast out of high quality resin, is compatible with all iphones and has a nice fully functional handset.

very nice low-fi aesthetic with new school technology.

shiny.

sleeeeek.

aaaaaaaaamazing.
