So Luke, of Luke Skywalker records Luke, has a Tv show called

It's pretty wild. The episode that I saw was him making it rain like a shamen on some girls at a strip club. Apparently it was his bachelor party. Yeah I know he is the last dude that should get married. Sex is all over the tube. If I had kids they would live in a box that had air holes cut out of the top. Or better yet, I would live in Forest park in a tent and only come to the city for groceries and home school them.
anyways .....

"Debauched Zeitgeist is a composite moving image created from the cover of 2live Crews’ 1989 controversial album, “As Nasty As They Want to Be”, which was banned and deemed obscene in the U.S. This still image is layered with ocean footage shot near the Gulf, and four small videos that animate the women’s hair. In the video the four members of 2live Crew, who in the original image face the camera beneath the women’s legs, have been removed. The women remain gazing out at the ocean at a passing boat while their hair blows in the breeze." -taken from http://www.itsnicethat.com/

Just another reason to...


Yeah so you really missed out because last night Flying Lotus dropped "vote obama way" in his set. I think he was in the video, so he probably had an A Capella. What a dope show.

CALLING ALL SNEAKER HEADS!!!!

The Adidas Consortium group consists of elite boutiques around the world, and this year, Compound has proudly joined its ranks. Along with 23 other stores, Adidas tapped Compound to be a part of the “AZX Project”, and design our own version of the Adidas ZX model. With a choice of seventeen different ZX models as our palette, we chose to run with the ZX500. The result was a design inspired by the Portland culture we sleep, eat, and breath. Lasered roses represent Portland’s nickname, “the City of Roses”, and the insole of the shoe is a topographic shot of downtown Portland with an arrow pinpointing Compound’s location in Old Town. The colors: scarlet, black, and white, pay homage to our beloved NBA team, the Portland Trailblazers. Denim fabric was chosen to reflect the casual lifestyle of Portlanders. Because the city of Portland is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, we chose to implement technical features on the shoe that not only achieve a great look, but also enhance the functionality of the shoe. The honey comb rip-stop material on the shoe, which resembles Compound’s signature logo, also provides lightweight durability and toughness. The 3M used on the back heel and Compound logo provides an added safety feature for trekking, running, and cycling around the city… activities which are part of everyday life here in the NW. With Compound’s version of the Adidas ZX500, we have created a simple, yet complex in attention-to-detail shoe that appeals to both the sneaker aficionado and the everyday person.


On September 19th 2008, from 6 to 9 p.m., Compound and A.N. Other Project will host a premier event at Holocene. Compound is a creative shop and gallery that subsists on the energy of Portland. This sustenance powers the Compound machine to produce the highest quality products. The newest production from Compound is a collaboration with world renowned sneaker manufacturer Adidas. Compound was recently invited by Adidas to join the Consortium group which consists of 24 premier boutiques in the world. The current project from the Adidas Consortium Group is the “AZX project”. Each Consortium partner is charged with customizing the Adidas ZX running shoe. The Compound-Adidas sneaker incorporates the soul and lifestyle of Portland into every pair of shoes with the highest quality textiles and a classic rose pattern over black that symbolizes the city of roses. Like an artist’s print this sneaker is available in limited quantities.

A.N. Other Project is not just another addition to the already overcrowded street apparel market. In design and workmanship, A.N. Other sets itself apart from everyone else. Each garment is made to the highest standards in Japan, which is a leader in the meticulous manufacturing of apparel. The mandate from the people behind A.N. Other is to create quality products with an attention to detail and functionality that have a clean, streamline and classic look. The quality of ANO clothes is never sacrificed to save a dime, and because A.N. Other is not mass produced, it’s made for the discerning customer who appreciates quality and detail. We produce the uniform for the active urbanite living in the city as well as the occasional outdoors enthusiast. Our team consists of people from Portland to New York and all the way to Tokyo. We implement all the elements gained from our living environments into our products.
