VINTAGE: I stumbled on this gem this morning while trolling on YouTube. It’s amazing how nearly twenty years has passed. Quentin Tarantino interview with Jon Stewart about Pulp Fiction in 1994.

Aroused by Tom Vek

I guess smoking is cool again? Tom Vek always has some of the best music videos and this one is as creative as it is odd. Featuring a diverse group of sex kittens and hipster-versions of Abercrombie models, Aroused by Tom Vek is a winner in my book.

LIVE Session With Bon Iver

Hipster Collective — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 18:04:43 +0000

Bon Iver’s singular talent is next to none. BI continues to amaze me and his most recent video is plain rad.

Iverlicious’ video description is as follows,

“4AD and Jagjaguwar have collaborated on a live session that captures a truly unique Bon Iver performance, featuring Justin Vernon and Sean Carey. On recent tours fans will have become accustomed to seeing Vernon flanked by an eleven-piece band, with the swell in numbers lending a grandiose element to even his most delicate songs. Sidestepping expectations, the idea Vernon presented for this session was to provide a wildly different experience.

Recorded in AIR Studio’s Lyndurst Hall – a building that was originally a church and missionary school designed in 1880 by the great Victorian architect Alfred Waterhouse (designer of the Natural History Museum) – Vernon was joined only by Carey, with the pair positioning themselves opposite one another at two grand pianos. Although neither Justin nor Sean’s first instrument is piano, they were able to remodel the songs in a way that showcases their complimentary vocals and, perhaps more strikingly, a seemingly effortless ability to experiment with form and structure.

As such, fans are treated to jaw-dropping interpretations of several songs from both the new album and the ‘Blood Bank’ EP, as well as a cover of Bonnie Raitt’s “I Can’t Make You Love Me”. And interpretation is an apt word, as these songs are artfully abstracted from their original incarnations. Rather than layer the sound as on ‘Bon Iver, Bon Iver’, the focus is on paring back, in part evoking the minimalist approach of contemporary classical music, while remaining true enough to the source material to retain those elements characteristic of Bon Iver.

As on “Babys” and “Hinnom, TX”, Vernon’s trademark falsetto is positioned centre stage, framed by subtle and unexpected instrumental flourishes that render the performance simultaneously weighty and airless. It’s quite an achievement that songs so widely-known and loved in their recorded form are able gain in emotional impact, and stands as testament to Bon Iver’s singular talent.”

Live happily,

Evolution of The Hipster

Incase you didn’t know, the hipster has evolved…or so says these freaking hipsters. This needs to be updated for 2010, 2011 and 2012. I wonder what a hipster 2012 looks like? What do you think?

When adventure calls, you say yes. Especially when it’s a rope swing. These supertramps know how to live!

Bloodbuzz Ohio by The National

Hipster Collective — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 14:25:19 +0000

I can’t seem to get enough of The National lately, especially Bloodbuzz Ohio. While The National may be pretty well known, there’s something regal about them.

I can’t wait until High Violet is released on their new label 4AD on May 11th.

Cheers,
HC

Love me some Black Keys anything. Here’s a beautiful design featuring one of the most talented bands alive.

Additionally, here’s one of my favorite–an oldie, but a goodie– Next Girl by The Black Keys

Mutiny bikes was smart (or dumb) enough to fasten a 7D to a remote control helicopter and shoot footage at the new Austin skatepark. The result is unique and really cool.

Saturdays Surf NYC

Saturdays Surf NYC is a brand I’ve been wearing all summer, and I wanted to share the love so that you have a chance to get in before the last days of summer are gone. Saturdays has a store in SoHo that sells everything from surfboards and wax to apparel, to books and music, fine art, coffee, and other quality lifestyle accessories. The coffee is brewed at the front of the store by some of the best baristas in the city, and out back there’s a patio hang-out, like a beach oasis in the middle of a crowded city. The apparel has a classy surf style that is a perfect blend of old school california and new school prep, and right now they’re doing a partnership with J.Crew “In Good Company” so you can buy a few pieces from J. Crew, or you can find a much more exhaustive selection on the Saturdays Surf online store.
It’s the perfect style to wear to the beach, or even just to do some longboarding on the boardwalk. Go check out their website to read more about the brand and their shop for tons more quality products.
