Luther: a BBC TV series starring Idris Elba
by There aren’t many performances in TV history more memorable than Idris Elba’s turn as Baltimore drug czar Stringer Bell on The Wire. So I was thrilled to discover Luther, the BBC show that flips Elba from robber to cop, on Netflix Instant. Set in London, Luther finds the British actor back in his hometown playing an embattled detective responsible for the city’s grisliest murder cases. The show is shot with such care, it’s beautiful to watch. Imagine our beloved Law & Order directed by Christopher Nolan.

One of our favorite moments in the history of music
Magma’s Otis. I’d love to tell you more about it, but I think it might be smarter just to let singer Christian Vander explain it to you — in Kobaïan, the language he created specifically for Magma. Press play and enjoy.
Fear of God mixtape by Pusha T
Pusha T is far and away my favorite rapper out there right now. You probably know him from the records he made with his duo, Clipse. Since then, he’s been brought into the GOOD Music fold by Kanye and I’m psyched to be seeing him get even more exposure than ever. His Fear of God mixtape has been getting me through the summer. Can’t wait for Fear of God 2. Read more
New documentary about sports writer George Plimpton
Some gents I know are finishing up a documentary on one of my personal inspirations, writer/editor, George Plimpton. The godfather of participatory journalism, he pitched against Willie Mays, tended goal for the Bruins, and ran the floor with Bill Russell and the Celtics, all while editing the Paris Review and maintaining his status as NYC’s Fireworks commissioner. The site I run, Take the Handle, is actually throwing a party in August for it. Should be a hoot.

Who says telling the time should be an easy task? Pleasing to the eye, not so much on the brain, Nooka watches are arguably more concerned about aesthetics than it is about function. Created by artist and designer, Matthew Waldman, its bar graph-like function lets wearers see, rather intuitively and visually, that time has passed by. We love it, but good luck trying to work out exactly how much time has gone by.
