THE LOST AND FOUND

Here’s some vocoder sh*t by Kool Keith—anything to end that Kid Cudi-related-post streak. The chorus or whatever near the end of the song is hilarious. Also features classic lines like “Girl, you know what to do, I ain’t Mr. Magoo…”

Gotta love Kool Keith…

I would feel the same way if I was a doorman (or a [enter almost any entry-level job title here] for that matter) …

MURS: CAN IT BE

Since one of the main purposes of the LAF is to post that which has been lost over time but is worth finding again, it’s only natural we share some O.G. stuff with you. Hence the creation of this new (predominantly sneaker-related) post series that I intend to feature on a bi-weekly or monthly basis. Admittedly, I’ve tried (and failed) to start a few other weekly features in the past but I think this one, ‘Image Captures‘ and the ‘DJ’s We Like‘ series (which i never finished but will continue with some time) are here to stay…

(Originally I was going to use my own random images for this post but found these on Nicekicks.com, so that’s where they’re jacked from)

This time around I’ve chosen Nike’s last of 3 responses to the Reebok Pump line: the Nike Air Force 180 Pump. Continue reading after the jump…

P.S.
If you noticed a decrease in posts, it’s because I’ve been a.) busy with work and b.) busy developing and further expanding the site. Don’t worry though, I won’t change the name again or anything; the only things that will change are the variety of topics we’ll cover and most likely the number of actual contributors to the site. I mean I doubt anyone’s going to nerd out on the blog-tip as much as me or, to a lesser degree, Oren, but other fools will definitely be in the mix. Either that, or I’ll find something better to devote half an hour per day to… but…. how could the lost and found end up lost, itself? Hmm……

So the other day I was on msn at work and my boy was working on his final project for school and asked me for some ideas. He was trying to conceptualize a series of T-shirts that illustrated how much better 90’s music (and the 90’s in general) is, compared to what’s going on right now.

He mentioned that we have iPods but in the 90’s kids either had to go out and buy CD’s or sit around all day waiting for a song to play on the radio so they could record it. He said we were basically spoiled, I agreed wholeheartedly, and then suggested another angle that would lend itself to t-shirt design: artists from previous decades didn’t necessarily need to be good-looking to make it. Back then it was more about the music—raw talent alone could get you signed. I told him to make some shirts with some talented, ugly-motherf*ckers on them, and he thanked me for the idea.

Looks like I’m not the only one that noticed this trend in music. Enter: ‘Before The Music Dies’ …

This documentary is an in-depth look into the topic my friend and I touched upon in our conversation (see ^above) and is a must-see for any music lover. I just found it today thanks to Niña Mendoza’s blog… thanks Niña!

This is pretty funny. Documentary should be good…

I’m out of town but I’ve set up some scheduled posts to automatically publish while I’m gone and this is one of them. Enjoy below an amazing feat of animation. The creators made this out of hundreds of still photos (I assume) and countless hours of… “graffiti vandalism.” Truly an innovative idea and the result is a really sweet visual journey along the streets of Buenos Airies.
